" Yumsem is delightful! From the moment you walk in, you can tell it’s a family-run establishment, with staff that genuinely care about their customers. Their kimbap is fresh, perfectly rolled, and tasty. I tried the ramen for the first time, and it was satisfying too. The ambiance is casual yet inviting. Expect to spend some time waiting during peak hours, as this place is becoming quite the popular spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Yumsem after hearing so many good reviews, and it did not disappoint! The donkatsu kimbap was perfectly cooked, crispy, and flavorful. I thoroughly enjoyed the unique egg and spam roll too. The atmosphere was cozy, but the space felt a bit cramped during lunch. I also tried their Vietnamese coffee, which was beautifully made with a rich texture. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a quick bite or a laid-back meal with friends. " (*Curated Review*)
