" Delicious doesn't even begin to describe the experience I had at Sumi Korean Grill! The waitstaff was incredibly friendly, helping us navigate the extensive menu. I tried the marinated beef, and it was so tender and flavored perfectly. The complimentary side dishes were a delightful surprise—they each brought a unique flavor that paired well with the meal. The atmosphere was vibrant, filled with the sounds of laughter and sizzling meats. It felt more like a gathering than a restaurant. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Late-night cravings led me to Sumi Korean Grill, and I was pleasantly surprised! I ordered the seafood soup, which was flavor-packed and comforting. The staff was friendly and informed, quickly addressing my questions about the menu. The only downside was the grill at our table took a while to heat, but that gave us ample time to enjoy the sides, which were fresh. Overall, I left satisfied and with a desire to return during busier hours to try more of their offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I enjoyed a lovely evening at Sumi Korean Grill! The seafood pancake was particularly delightful, filled with fresh ingredients. We also tried the marinated beef which practically melted in our mouths. The banchan served were various and complimented our meal well. The only downside was the wait for a table, but the wait was worth it. This place has officially become a family favorite. Can't wait to visit again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Sumi Korean Grill was an unexpected delight! Everything about our meal was enjoyable. The spicy pork truly stood out for me—so flavorful! The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for dinner with friends. The service team made sure we were well taken care of, refilling our drinks quickly. Just a note, some banchan could use a bit more kick. Otherwise, I’m looking forward to repeating this experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sumi last week, and while the atmosphere was cozy and modern, I felt the food lacked depth. I tried their bibimbap, which was large but didn't hit the right notes regarding flavor. I expected seasoned vegetables but they were somewhat bland. The service was polite and caring, but the food really didn’t meet my typical standards for Korean cuisine. I might give it another chance in the future because I'm intrigued by the BBQ menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're longing for authentic Korean BBQ, Sumi is your go-to! My family and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner filled with laughter and great food. The marinated beef was simply mouth-watering and the kitchen staff was great at accommodating our dietary needs. We enjoyed every piece, and the side dishes added a perfect touch. I highly recommend the spicy pork—it was a hit amongst us! Can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The dinner we had at Sumi Korean Grill was satisfactory but fell short of my expectations. The meats were of decent quality, yet the marinade lacked the bold flavors typical of traditional Korean BBQ. Despite the disappointment in the overall meat quality, the service was exceptional and the atmosphere was lively, creating a delightful evening out with friends. I still believe it is a good option for family gatherings, especially due to the sheer variety in the menu. " (*Curated Review*)
