" I was so excited to visit Sam Sunny after hearing so many recommendations. The interior is beautifully designed, and it has an inviting charm. The seafood rice was delicious, but I found the portion sizes to be a bit on the smaller side relative to the price. The drink selection was great, though, and the service was comfortable and approachable. " (*Curated Review*)

" As someone who's been to many Korean restaurants, I was excited to try Sam Sunny. The ambiance was modern and chic, definitely setting the right mood for dinner. I tried the bulgogi, and it was perfectly marinated — one of the best I've had! However, I felt that the portion size was a bit small for what I paid. Nevertheless, the food quality makes up for it. I'll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Sam Sunny was simply okay. While the food was decent, I expected more flavor, particularly from the kimchi fried rice. It didn’t blow me away like I hoped it would, and the portion sizes felt a bit small compared to other Korean restaurants I've frequented. However, the ambiance and cocktail selection were impressive. Better luck on my next visit, I hope! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Sam Sunny on a whim and loved every bit! The atmosphere is super cozy and well-decorated. I ordered the kimchi soup and seafood pancakes, which were freshly made and packed with flavor. But what blew me away was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and made great recommendations! I would certainly return for another cozy dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sam Sunny has a fantastic vibe! The atmosphere instantly made me feel relaxed and welcomed. The food was fresh and tasty, especially the kimchi fried rice. I appreciate that they had a variety of spicy dishes. The only downside was that our wait for tables was a bit long during peak hours, but once seated, everything went smoothly. Worth the wait!

" 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*)
