" I decided to visit Sam Sunny after hearing great things, and I was not disappointed! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I ordered the kimchi fried rice with chicken katsu, and it was incredible! The flavors were authentic and incredibly well-balanced. The service was friendly but a little slow, but it was understandable given how busy they were. I'll definitely come back, especially to try their cocktails! " (*Curated Review*)

" I took my parents to Sam Sunny during their visit, and we all loved the experience! The ambiance was chic and modern. The authentic taste of the seafood rice is something I will not forget. However, some of the appetizers, like the banchan, felt a bit underwhelming in comparison to the mains. Service was great throughout the night! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dinner date at Sam Sunny! The dim lighting and modern decor provided such a great ambiance. I had their spicy noodles, which were incredible but a bit on the sweet side for my taste. Service was top-notch; the staff was attentive and catered to our needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Sam Sunny last weekend, and it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. While some dishes were good, I found others to be overly salty. However, the ambiance was quite nice — it felt very cozy and warm. Service was alright, but they were a bit busy. I might give it another go at a quieter time. " (*Curated Review*)

" First time visiting Sam Sunny last weekend, and I will be returning! The banchan served at the beginning was rich in flavor, and it paired perfectly with my main dishes. I opted for the seafood pancake and spicy pork bulgogi — both were sensational! The staff was attentive and the overall vibe was so warm and welcoming; it truly felt like I was dining at home. A hidden gem in Kips Bay! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Sam Sunny was a game-changer for me! The selection offered genuine Korean flavors, which I've missed since moving to the city. The galbi was rich and flavorful — cooked to perfection. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. My only qualm was the background music being a bit loud at times, but the ambiance was lovely nonetheless. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Korean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Sam Sunny for a celebratory dinner! The ambiance was intimate, with chic decor and soft lighting — perfect for a special occasion. I ordered the spicy beef noodle soup and was pleasantly surprised by how authentic the flavors were. The service was also prompt, though I wish the portions had been a bit larger given the higher price point. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'm excited to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
