Delicious flavor on the cold noodle soup. It is veggie broth, which was really great as someone who doesn't eat meat. Good amount of noodles in the soup too. Banchan was tasty, just a weird crunchy bit in the salad that might have been a bit of grit or dirt from the lettuce, but nothing that would stop me going back and eating it again. Nice staff!

Excellent service, fun space (with really nice speakers!), and delicious cozy food. Highly recommend for a great time.

Somme of the best Korean food I've ever had! I came here with a big party and the Sam Sunny staff managed to make it work! We all sat at a huge table in the back and they were so kind to continue taking our orders and check in on us pretty frequently. Drinks are amazing! The pyongyang mule is like an elevated Moscow mule and we came during happy hour so we all got some fun drinks including soju. The food was really good, I got the cold kimchi noodle soup, and tried a bunch of dishes including the Korean fried chicken, mushroom rice, japchae, seafood soup, and Galbi chicken with cheese. The chicken with cheese is a must order and the soups here are super flavorful. If you're looking for a nice night out and some elevated Korean food, Sam sunny is your spot!

Great Korean spot in Kips Bay. The service and food are fantastic. Of the dishes I tried, the must tries would be galbi mandu, pork belly, and kimchi pork soup. As excited as I was for the kimchi fried rice, I felt the chicken katsu was a bit small to justify the price. The interior is cute, but space is a bit tight. Overall would still recommend, it is a handsome spot for friends, though perhaps too loud for a first date.

Finally a good Korean restaurant opened up in Kips Bay! The place has a loungy vibe. Its entrance makes it feel luxe and exclusive. Inside, it's a long hallway, dimly lit, with cement floors which add to its clubby vibe. The staff are friendly and attentive despite there being many, many customers. We started with the seafood, kimchi pancakes which were delicious. My only complaint was that I wish there were more seafood on it. For such a large piece, there were only 2 scallops and 4 small pieces of shrimp. The taste, though, it still bomb. We then shared the spicy squid and the bulgogi which were both delicious also. We went for an early dinner on a Sunday so we didn't feel like drinking alcohol but the cocktails and their descriptions were very inventive and I can't wait to try them next time.

***Amazing Service, Delicious Food, Highly Recommend*** What an experience! Highly recommend checking this place out if you're looking for Korean food. The food here was so delicious and filling. You'll definitely walk away feeling very full. Not included in the photos are the wings which were juicy and tender. Food is also easy to share and drinks are very refreshing. Our bartender Gael was very hospitable!

On the night that a friend and I came for dinner, the place was pretty packed.  Business was booming for Sam Sunny and we would soon see why.  They had the following banchan: kimchi, onions with jalapeno, daikon thinly sliced and lettuce with sauce (could be used for ssam). We ordered the Tomahawk Galbi which came with 4 dipping sauces, the seafood rice bowl (with scallops and shrimp) and the shrimp and scallop tofu soup.  We know we opted for a lot of seafood but decided to go with it anyway! As the food started to come out, everything smelled great and was super flavorful.  We loved the variety of the sauces that came with the tomahawk and I think we each quickly found a favorite.  The meat was tender and we made some mini ssam with the sauce and greens provided.  The seafood rice bowl was cooked and seasoned well.  Even though it wasn't served in a stone pot it reminded me of that because there were crispy bits and a nice char on the ingredients.  And of course the tofu soup. Definitely great for a cold day like the day we went in, so we were both satisfied with all the food that we ate! Actually, Sam Sunny would have gotten a 5 from me if they were purely rated on the food but unfortunately I have to dock them a point for service.  For two people, we weren't eating particularly slowly but they rushed us at the end and started clearing things away without asking in an attempt to shoo us along.  While I completely understand that restaurants need quick turnover when things are busy, this was not the right way to handle it and it felt incredibly rude.  We were both taken aback by this behavior and while I'd go back for the food again that does give me pause since it's fairly easy to handle this more tactfully.  I'll probably give it some time and see if it was a one time thing (though I'm in no rush).  It's unfortunate that this was the last impression they left on us before we left for the evening.

Overall I had a great meal at Sam Sunny and would consider coming back here again with friends! Would def recommend in the area I called around 3pm on a Saturday to see if they'd have availability for 5 later that night, and we were able to make a reservation for 830pm. When we arrived, our table was ready (we got a huge booth right next to the entrance) and we were excited to eat. Food Spicy squid: this was my favorite! The squid was tender and the spice sauce was flavorful and spicy but not too spicy. Pork belly: some said it was too lean or over cooked, but I just thought the slices were too thick. everyone LOVED the radish or whatever kimchi banchan it came with on the plate Tofu soup with shrimp and scallop: I only had a little bit of this but it was good! It wasn't exactly like a traditional soondubu though. Egg soufflé: a good side dish, my friends loved this as well Chicken katsu and kimchi fried rice: this was probably the one everyone was interested in, but turned out to be the least favorite. It was good, just nothing special. The server pours the egg on the hot stone at your table which was a cute party trick. Service Our server, Jerry?, was amazing!! Great and attentive service, refilled our drinks, gave us great reccs, and even brought us a round of birthday shots when we mentioned it was my birthday :) There seemed to be a wait even at 830 pm when we got there, but they have bar seating. Two restrooms in the back.
