The room tends to be cool and a little dim, but the owner is putting a lot of work into the decor and image (new name, logo, menu, etc.) The service is a little slow, but still sufficient for a lunchtime run. I find the dishes to be the freshest and most satisfying Korean in the area - they have a home-cooked feel. Some of those listed as spicy are genuinely spicy, which I appreciate. This is a solid choice for an enjoyable, affordable and tasty meal. —MantraSix

2008-08-12 10:46:34   PROS: The owner was kind to me as I am a Korean customer, but also very kind to my non-Korean friends as well, although she has bad days sometimes. Considering my own experience with Korean restaurants not in NY, this restaurant is a good effort at offering Korean food to Rochester folks. Unfortunately it doesn't do for myself, but if you want more popularized Korean food, come to Sodum (not Sodam). This is the only Korean restaurant in America that I've ever been to that does not offer more panchan variety.

CONS: Small dining area. Expensive price on menu...but then again there isn't much Korean restaurant competition compared to NYC and DC. —JenC

2009-08-15 18:05:50   A GREAT restaurant. I have been here twice, both times finding the service to be cheerful and very helpful (I'm a vegetarian and they will happily make almost any dish fit my needs). Once, I went on the 4th of July and they were going to close early for a banquet, but insisted that my party come in to eat! Furthermore, the food is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend the Kim Chi Hotpot (I get mine with tofu). Don't let the exterior scare you- it's a great restaurant! —Kyara

2009-10-17 19:18:38   Stopped in here today for a quick pre-movie bite to eat. It was a cold and rainy fall day and I had a serious craving for some hot savory spicy Korean stew. I have to say they've really come a long way with the decor since I was last there over a year ago. It looks really nice in there now. The banchan was so-so, no complaints there. I ordered a spicy seafood stew, I don't recall the name, but it was outstanding and really hit the spot. A savory rich broth full of red pepper and sesame oil full of scallions, mussels, octopus or squid, shrimp, and noodles. It totally lived up to my expectations. —AlexD1234

2009-12-05 12:15:59   I have been going to places like Young's and Seoul Garden for years. Sodam's Korean Restaurant just doesn't compare to these. The service here was awful. The waitresses rarely came by and we could barely get their attention when we needed something. They were even telling customers the second they finished their food that they needed to leave right away because they needed the tables. The food was awful. The dish I had was slimy (a dish that I have had before at other places... it should not be slimy). The flavors just didn't add up. This is not somewhere that I would recommend to anyone, and I created this account just to write this so that maybe I could save people the awful food and service awaits you at Sodam. —pepperduck

2009-12-18 22:52:25   I come here once or twice a month. You would never stumble upon this place if you were just driving, hunting for a restaurant to stop in. Anyone that arrives here has made a deliberate choice. I enjoy the food here, and being vegetarian does not interfere with meal options. Service here is adequate. I have always had a lot of assistance from the server to explain what it is that I'm ordering, and teaching in the proper way to eat it. I prefer the smaller, more out-of-the-way places, and this fits the bill. I will say that sometimes the portions and greasiness of the dishes changes when I order the same thing on different occasions, but overall, it's a good experience every time. —puddleofsick

2010-02-09 22:15:05   They were absolutely packed on a Friday at 6:30pm. We had to wait around 15 minutes for a table. Our servers were attentive despite being insanely busy. 5 types of banchan were offered: kimchi, spicy cucumber, spicy fishcake, bean sprouts and some very fishy greens. These were mostly good - the greens were too fishy for me but this may be a personal preference. We ordered the vegetable pancake appetizer and it was excellent - crisp and bountiful. I got the bulgogi. and it tasted burnt. The beef was also really dry. The food here is cheaper than Young's Korean Restaurant - on average, it is about $2-$3 less. The service is more friendly here. However, I think the food (or at least the bulgogi)at Young's is much better and they offer you a lot more banchan options. I would definitely pick Young's over Sodam next time. —OneLove
