" Yumsem is a gem in Closter! I took my family there, and we ended up ordering a variety of dishes. The squid kimbap was light and refreshing while the bulgogi kimbap burst with flavor. We couldn’t stop raving about the rose tteokbokki — it’s easily the best I’ve ever had! The only hiccup was a longer wait time for our food during the lunch rush, but it was manageable, and the staff were super nice. This family-run place has my heart! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Yumsem after hearing rave reviews, and I can see why. The food was fantastic! The kimbap was expertly wrapped and filled, and the rose tteokbokki stood out as one of the best I've had in this area. The only downside was that the restaurant felt a bit cramped during my visit, making it difficult to navigate through the crowd. I'll definitely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Korean flavors! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've gotten takeout from Yumsem multiple times, and I've never been disappointed. The kimbap is incredibly fresh, and the fillings are generous. Their rose tteokbokki is a must-try! The spice level is just right, and the sauce is so creamy and delicious. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. The only downside was a slight wait during peak hours, but great food is worth it! Highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic Korean food. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who enjoys Korean street food, I was thrilled to try Yumsem! Their variety is impressive, and everything we ordered was a hit! The rose tteokbokki was rich and tasted authentic, and the portions were quite generous. I found the service to be efficient, but it lacked a personal touch. I’d suggest they continue working on improving the order processing system during busy hours. Nonetheless, I’d love to return for more of that tasty kimbap and refreshing drinks! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Yumsem for a quick lunch and was blown away! The ambiance is cute and modern, which makes it feel inviting. I ordered the spicy tuna kimbap and an iced peach tea. Both were delightful! The kimbap had just the right kick, and the peach tea was refreshing. I appreciate the reasonable prices they offer, making it easy to enjoy quality food without breaking the bank. Highly recommend for anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
