I had a serious craving for hwe naengmyun (spicy cold noodle with raw fish) after having it in LA, and after some searching in Michigan we landed on Sambong. I’m so glad we did. This place absolutely delivers.

The service alone is worth noting. Our server explained that the owner makes the myun (buckwheat noodles) fresh in house, using the ultra thin style that absorbs the broth if you don’t eat quickly. That detail alone told us we were in the right place.

The hwe naengmyun (spicy cold noodle with raw fish) was exactly what I was hoping for. The fermented, salted raw fish had that sweet, sour, spicy, deeply umami flavor I missed, with a chewy texture that pairs perfectly with the icy, refreshing broth and noodles. I’d give it a 4.5/5 only because I personally love it even more aggressively fermented, but that’s purely preference.

At the end of the bowl, adding yuksu (hot beef broth) is the move. It softens the sharp vinegar edge and adds a deep, savory warmth that rounds out the last few bites beautifully.

We also ordered mandu guk (dumpling soup), which is pure comfort. A milky, rich beef bone broth with hearty dumplings, perfect for a Michigan winter day. This is an easy 5/5 when the broth is this good.

The bindaetteok (mung bean pancake) was another highlight. Crisp on the outside, soft and savory inside, and cooked just right. A solid 4.5/5.

Sambong is a place I’ll happily return to. Not just for the food, but for the connection to traditional Korean dishes that are hard to find elsewhere in the area. This spot feels special.

Delicious!! Sambong is basically across the street from my work and I’ve been meaning to go there for a while now – I’m so glad I stopped in for lunch today! I had the japchae (with bulgogi) and it was out of this world! Easily some of the best japchae I’ve ever had, the flavors were amazing. Also had some of the beef broth and that was yummy as well! The restaurant is cute inside and was very busy! I also had a fun little conversation about BTS with the girl who took my order, so that’s always a plus lol! I’ll definitely be back and will be bringing my siblings and friends!

Self-order/serve Korean restaurant known for their cold noodles and grilled pork neck dishes, but everything else we have tried have been tasty as well. Don’t miss the free beef broth…this alone is worth a visit!

A great spot for comforting Korean dishes. I love their jjamppong and mackerel! The BONE BROTH ON TAP is incredible. Just do yourself a favor and check it out! It is mostly self-service so do your research before coming!

Dined here again this weekend for lunch, they were packed and busy! This was our second time, we ordered the Macarel Meal and the Bone Soup! They gave us a heads up and let us know that our food will take time as there were quite a few orders lined up before us! Found us a table and enjoyed the warm comforting meal on a snowy Sunday! The food tasted so so good. Hit the right spot. Majority of the diners were from Korean decent so you know this place is Legit! I am so glad they gave all the sides: rice, kimchi, radish kimchi, veggies dipped in soy, and soup with the fish meal and same sides except for the soup with the Bone soup meal. The ambiance here is casual, the area is spotless clean, and self service! No tipping! Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed.

This place rocks.
Food is amazing and taste is authentic Korean. Self-service, order and pay at the counter, pick-up when food is ready. No tip is required.
Place serves also free beef soup, warm barley-tea.

I recently visited this 냉면 (cold noodles) restaurant, and it was honestly the best 냉면 I’ve had in the U.S. It was incredibly close to the authentic flavors you’d find in specialized 냉면 restaurants in Korea. The noodles were perfectly made, and the taste was spot on.

What I also loved about this place is that it’s a no-tip restaurant, making it very affordable. The self-service station was well-organized, and I didn’t feel any inconvenience at all.

Beyond the 냉면, the 국밥, 만두, and 갈비 were just like what you’d find in top Korean restaurants. I was really impressed with the quality of everything. The best part? All the dishes I ordered (which are shown in my photo) only cost me $53! Definitely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Korean food!

Compared to cities like LA and NYC, this Korean restaurant is up there! They offer unlimited beef bone broth, tea and the staff there is so accommodating and friendly. Menu options are solid for anyone who wants a variety but doesn’t want to be overwhelmed by too many choices. If you’re new to Korean food, there’s great options that aren’t too spicy but still authentic. And if your go to is Korean food, their sullungtang and galbi is great.

(Update 9/7/2025) Their soondoobu is disappointing. I couldn’t distinguish the ingredients of the broth. It is simply spicy but no meaningful taste behind it. I would not order it again.

(Original 7/26/2024) The taste of both Mul Naengmyun and Hwe Naengmyun was mediocre. The noodle of Mul Naenghyun is tough and thin compared with top notch Naengmyun. And the cold broth of the Mul Naengmyun and the sauce of the Hwe Naengmyun is weak in flavor. Anyhow, the taste is acceptable overall, just my expectation was high for a place whose sign proudly shows a naengmyun house in Korean.
The service is self serve system and they positively declined tipping. The interior is clean and efficient. Our Naengmyun came out in about 10 minutes.
For the complimentary beverage, they provide a choice of hot beef broth and cold/hot water. The hot beef broth is often provided in renowned Bibim & Hwe Naengmyun restaurants in Korea.

Sambong Korean Restaurant in Troy, MI is a clean, well-organized spot that’s perfect if you want casual Korean food without the fuss. It’s a self-service setup — you order at the register, pick up your food at the counter, and help yourself to water, utensils, sauces, and extra bowls at a designated station. I really appreciate the thoughtful touch of having spoons and chopsticks in a drawer at every table, and their zero-tip model makes dining here even more appealing.

It can get busy on Sundays around lunchtime with the after-church crowd, so expect a short wait for a table then.

My go-to is the vegetable bibimbap with tofu. While it’s not the sizzling dolsot style (hot stone bowl) you find at some places, it’s more of a fresh salad-over-rice style bibimbap, and they make it well with a good variety of vegetables. I’ve also tried the spicy seafood noodle soup (Jampong) — the broth had a nice spice level, but the noodles were a bit too firm for my preference.
