Ssam Jang

In the bustle of Auckland City Centre, Ssam Jang blends contemporary flair with cherished Korean traditions. The atmosphere is convivial and unfussy, the kind of place where sharing feels natural.

The menu invites curiosity, a little heat, and plenty of sharing. Ssam sets the tone, from soy-kissed dwaeji-bulgogi to the chilli-lifted jeyuk-bokkeum, encouraging wrapping and savouring the flavours. The beef bibimbap is a vibrant mosaic, with rice, fried egg, chilli paste, vegetables and beef forming a stir-it-yourself ritual.

Slow-cooked comforts appear in jok bal deopbap, while noodles stride from the oceanic fire of jjambong to the pork belly swagger of gogi bokkeum jjambong. Haemul-pajeon brings a crisp edge to seafood and spring onion, and playful tapas like salmon sashimi with a spicy cream cheese sauce nod to modern indulgence.

Settle in for a lively spread or slip away with a soul-warming bowl. Book your spot, gather your favourites, and let Ssam Jang wrap you up in its delicious embrace.
