“ Our first time dining in a strictly Korean venue restaurant... And it was wonderful and the food was outstanding!!! The staff was great and the ownermanager?? was delightful to talk to about the menu items and how they were prepared... She even suggested a dessert a type of milkwater block shaved ice... that resembles NOTHING like we have ever had before, very ornate, lite tasting, with fresh fruit and different colored sauces... Definitely a place to bring family and friends to and we will be back many times to come!! ”
“ San maru is one of the few authentic Korean places available in the CU area. I tried multiple dishes and they were all good. The food does take longer to be served due to the small kitchen size. ”
“ We came during weekday lunchtime. The server was very friendly and attentive. I love their lunch specialmany options at fair prices. I ordered the beef soup. Rice was included. The food tastes like homemade dishes and not too salty. ”
“ Steamed mandoo were our favorite, the sauce was a bit light, but was cooked perfectly for a wrapping with great chew. Bulgogi unpictured a bit on the sweeter side, and bang bang chicken was a tad dry but we still enjoyed both, the Beef was of nice quality. Mackerel had a good flavor as well. ”
