About Korean Samurai

Korean Samurai pulls off a dual-cuisine spread where bubbling sundubu-jjigae meets crisp sushi rolls without missing a beat. Tucked along Military Road, this unpretentious dining room and breezy courtyard draw a bustling neighborhood crowd for quick bites before screenings at the nearby Hayden Orpheum. Tables quickly fill with sizzling beef bulgogi hotplates, prawn gyoza, and vegetable bibimbap topped with gochujang. Staff move with real warmth, readily guiding gluten-free diners through safe selections. Corks pop freely across the courtyard thanks to an easy BYO setup, rounding out a relaxed, generous spread.

  • Dual Korean & Japanese Menu: Pair sizzling bulgogi hotplates and spicy stews alongside sushi rolls and crisp tempura.
  • Pre-Cinema Convenience: A casual, dependable choice for dinner right down the street from the Hayden Orpheum.
  • BYO Dining: Bring your own drinks to pair with banquets or takeaway meals.

  • Bulgogi

    I always get their bulgogi with either pork of beef and both are excellent. When you dine in the bulgogi comes out sizzling hot and the aroma of the dish is incredible.
