The ‘Meat in a bowl’ at San Ho Won is an explosion of flavors in every bite. The tender, slow-cooked meat simply falls apart as you stir it into the savory, slightly sweet sauce that coats the bottom of the bowl. I was blown away by how well-balanced each component is - from the perfectly seasoned meat to the crunchy vegetables that add a delightful textural contrast.

The ‘Vegetable side dish’ at San Ho Won is a masterclass in subtle flavors and textures. The delicate, expertly prepared vegetables are cooked just until they retain their crunch, making each bite a revelation. Whether you’re a fan of Asian cuisine or just looking for a healthy option to round out your meal, this dish won’t disappoint.

The ‘Soup or stew’ at San Ho Won is a hearty, comforting bowl that’s sure to warm even the chilliest of souls. Rich, savory broth filled with tender chunks of meat and vegetables will leave you feeling satisfied but not stuffed - it’s the perfect remedy for a chilly evening out.

The restaurant has a modern and sleek design, with clean lines and minimal decor. The tables are made of light-colored wood and have a simple, minimalist design. The lighting is bright and airy, with large windows that allow natural light to enter the space. The overall atmosphere is casual and relaxed, suggesting that the restaurant is intended for everyday dining rather than formal occasions.
