Samsoonie Noodle & Rice - Richmond

Bossam is a traditional Korean dish made with boiled pork belly that is thinly sliced and served with fresh radish, raw garlic, lettuce, and cabbage for wrapping. I came across the stunning Bossam platter from Samsoonie on Instagram and decided to give it a try. Despite ordering the small portion, it was a generous serving for a reasonable price and incredibly tasty. Samsoonie Noodle and Rice is a cozy Korean restaurant located at 8211 Westminster Hwy in Richmond, BC, situated in a strip mall opposite the Richmond Public Market on Westminster Highway.

Hidden away in Richmond, a small restaurant that is always packed full of people. The broth for the two soups were really delicious, and as we wanted to control how spicy it was, we asked for the chilli pepper on the side to add ourselves — it was perfect! Perfect bite sized deep fried wontons were also yummy! Servers are super busy, but always willing to help with a smile. My new go to Korean restaurant!

January 23, 2018<br/ <br/ I feel like to have some casual Korean food for lunch after work. One of my friend highly recommended this place, why not give it a try.<br/ <br/ 2 of us had:<br/ <br/ small size of seafood pancake so crispy outside/ tasty/ a lot of squid inside.. we love it...<br/ <br/ Beef bone soup and came with small bowl of rice on side... Beef bone was so soft and tasty, but the soup base was extremely salty for us.<br/ <br/ Deep fried dumpling nothing special.<br/ <br/ I recognized one of the Korean short hair server was working at Lansdowne's Korean restaurant before. She also recognized me as well..<br/ <br/ Services are nice and fast. Most of their customers are Korean..<br/ <br/ Will try their noodles in soup next time. I saw they got big portion of noodles..<br/ <br/

Arrived on a rainy Sunday afternoon around one o'clock and Samsoonie was packed. Luckily, as a party of one this time, I was seated right away and served tea. I ordered the Pork Back Bone Stew in a Hot Pot (which has become my obsession and the server advised me that this is usually very spicy. They graciously prepared it a little milder so as to keep me from sweating all over their furniture. It arrived at my table bubbling hot and was very good with meaty bones that I tore into with abandon. I am not sure what manners dictate; I think that as long as I am not throwing stuff...Meaty, tasty broth and some greens and sprouts rounded it out! I started with 5 Deep fried Dumplings (Samsoonie is on Richmond's dumpling trail which were also very good. Banchan consisted of a very good Kimchi (I try to eat Kimchi every day for my health! and sprouts that were nicely flavoured with sesame oil. On a previous visit (they were not nearly as busy , my partner and I had the Seafood Ramen, a Seafood Pancake which was excellent, crispy, full of seafood and comes in two serving sizes which is a great option, and a very good Dolsot Bipimbap (my previous obsession at Korean restaurants . Both times we found service gracious and efficient. This is not a large place but it is comfortable and welcoming.

Samsoonie is a small Korean restaurant located in a strip mall along Westminster Highway just across the street from the Richmond Public Market.  We heard some good reviews about this place from friends and family so we decided to come try it out Sunday morning.  We arrived just past 11am which looked like it just opened as the restaurant was still empty.
