The tempera shrimp have changed. I don't care for the sauce at all. However, the rest of the food is amazing. The beef ribs, the pork ribs are so delicious! I don't even like pork ribs but these are very meaty and delicious. The service is fantastic and great music! I love this place!
I saw high recommendations for this spot and knew I had to check it out. Ambiance was absolutely amazing. Our server was extremely knowledgeable on the menu and was able to answer all of our party's questions. The drinks were also delicious.
Ordered takeout for some friends in town food was hot and fresh portions were huge and food was good. I enjoyed the wings more than the ribs. Ribs needed a bit less chew and a bit more char but overall good experience. The Server was friendly and made sure we left with all our order. Inside is super cozy and perfect date night or out with the girls!
Everything was a 10/10. My only complaint is the salmon dinner stated it came with a salad, and I never got the salad, I was told it was a typo! The service was great. The drinks were ok. Everyone was nice, from the host stand, to the people who bought the food out.
Pretty empty on Thursday at lunch so was sat immediately. Got naked wings from the reverse happy hour and also the bibimbap. The wing were quite messy but that's what one would expect. The bibimbap was good but since I just had a flavorful and tad spicy wings I avoided the sauce which caused it to be bit bland (not their fault just an observation!) I liked the place but don't see myself returning as nothing wowed me.
I was so excited to try this place but it honestly left something to be desired. I tried their most popular dishes like the crab Rangoon dip and the gumbo soup dumplings. The crab Rangoon dip was good but somewhat oily. I expected more. Still ate every last bite. The gumbo soup dumplings were so salty they nearly gave me heartburn. So sodium heavy and tasted like any soup dumpling I've ever had. I did get the crawfish friend rice and that was my favorite thing by far. Tons of whole crawfish and great flavor. On a positive note, the best server I had in NOLA was here. She was as sweet as could be. I forget her name but she wore glasses and was super bubbly. Give her all the accolades. My friends both got the seafood ramen and said it was the best they ever had and even the best meal they had on the trip. I think I need to come back and order some different things.
I went here for my birthday, the vibe was wonderful. They were pretty busy, but our waiter was awesome. She was super quick and consistently checking in. The food came hot and fresh. My favorite was the gumbo dumplings but the Bulgogi was also really really good.
Sun Chong was definitely an interesting concept . Its Cajun-Korean fusion is not something you see every day. We really wanted to love this place because the idea was so unique, but we left saying, "Hmm... okay." I tried the following; Gumbo Dumplings: Steamed dumplings filled with chicken and sausage gumbo with a seafood gumbo base. This was a very unique dish, and it wasn't bad, but at $19, I personally didn't feel the value matched the portion and experience. Sun Chong Chicken :Korean-marinated chicken drumettes tossed in spicy yum yum sauce. The flavor was there, but they went a little heavy on the sauce. It became very messy, and even during Happy Hour at $12, I thought it was a bit pricey. Tempura Shrimp :Crispy Asian-style battered shrimp served with wasabi. Unfortunately, it was more batter than shrimp, especially for the price. I'm not completely counting Sun Chong out because the concept is creative, and I may return to try different menu items. However, I'm not rushing back to repeat the dishes I ordered.
This spot is located in the heart of New Orleans has good food. It has a nice ambiance. There was a great "community" vibe. The waitress' service was "very attentive" to my husband. *side eye I shielded our kids from the BS & the 18% gratuity but it was an overall a positive expensive experience. And the military discount is only 10% & NOT for the whole meal!!!
I came in on a Friday night about an hour before closing and immediately was able to get a seat at the bar. All of the staff were attentive and conversational, and the gumbo soup dumplings were genuinely life changing. The interior was definitely a little bit of a squeeze, but the mood lighting was great and the early 2000's R&B was an amazing vibe to wind down from a busy day.
Small place that packs a big punch! We came at 1:30 on a Saturday and it was packed! We had the crab ragoon dip, gumbo soup dumplings, ribs, fried chicken, crawfish rice and bak choy. Everything was SMACKIN! Service was A1!
Rating: 10/10 It took me 2 days to process the dining experience I had at Sun Chong. As a sister restaurant of Morrows (when you step inside, you can tell), they have a blueprint of how to have great food, ambience and still remain very authentic. Having lived in South Korea for a few years, it is one of my favorite cuisines. I was excited to try this fusion of cultures! The menu is extensive, I ended up trying a few different small plates. I ordered the gumbo dumplings, crawfish fried rice, roasted Brussels, hot wonton dip. It was all damn delicious! I will be back because I still have so many things to try, especially the Kimchi Lobster Pasta lol I recommend to make a reservation to make sure you get right on in.
For me, the food was a 3; service bumped it to a 4. I'm glad I tried it but I wouldn't rush back. Started off with drinks which felt slightly high in price ($18 ea) but I chalked it up to location. My friend (male) got an "I love you" drink and the server first made sure he knew it was ver sweet and 2nd asked if he wanted it in the heart glass or a "normal" one which we appreciated. We started off with the gumbo soup dumplings, which were good and presented well. We also had some kind of meat, taco looking thing and the meat in one was definitely the winner. For mains we did the bulgogi. Meat was good. Rice was NOT sticky and was sadly dry and barely edible. The salad was on the small side which is fine but just didn't feel truly "sharable." Server checked back in multiple times and got us to go cups when we were ready and overall she was very sweet and engaging which was nice since my friend was visiting.

Not sure what alllll the hype is about this place. Was the food bad? No. Have I had it before? Yes. Nothing here set your staple Asian dishes apart from anywhere else and when the check came I was like ?? Not worth it. Wings could've had a crispier fry for the heavy sauce on top. It soaked in quick and made it a big soggy. Sauce was super sweet with low dimension in flavors. Crawfish fried rice - okayyy. Tasted like regular fried rice to me. Crab Rangoon was mostly just a cheese dip. The wonton chips and sweet chili on the side is the only thing that tied this dish together to remotely give it crab Rangoon inspired. Delete from your "must try" NOLA list - it's just not. read more
On the heels of my Morrow's lunch, I had to stop by real quick for a taste The vibe is super chill. The staff are young, hardworking, and fun. When I got here it was empty, when I left, it was poppin' I tried the wings and they were good, spicy, FRESH out the kitchen. I prefer Morrrow's over these The lettuce wraps tasted decent but the chicken had a different taste to it (older?) They have Happy Hour for lunch is the locals were happy to order drinks. Super chill spot. read more

Food was amazing and they truly did fusion well. My favorite was the baco, it was delicious. The soup dumplings were really clever as well. The server/bartender we had was lovely and gave us some great recommendations for things to do after dinner. The next time I'm in town I look forward to coming here again. read more

The atmosphere is chic and trendy. We ordered several items including the Gumbo Soup Dumplings, Bacos with Bulgogi, crawfish poboy, redfish poboy, and Neno fried chicken with crawfish rice. Portions were large and everything was delicious. I had a Sunny Side Up which is like a French 75 and delicious. Our waitress was adorable and very knowledgeable of the menu. She also made great suggestions. read more

I was visiting New Orleans and was missing some Asian food, so my friend and I found this restaurant on Yelp which had amazing reviews, so we had to check it out ourselves. We were starving when we arrived, and with our luck, the service that day was not the best. It took a while for them to take our order, bring the food/drinks, and the check to pay. Our server did end up acknowledging and apologizing for the service. We split the galbi which came with a side of rice and salad. The galbi was kind of salty, but definitely flavorful. I also tried the drink "i love you" which was in a heart shaped glass and tasted fruity. If you are in the area and are craving Asian food, the food is actually delicious. Although we did not try a lot of their items, they have some unique items on their menu. read more

We were walking around looking for a place to grab food and cocktails. While looking online, we saw this pop up and diverted from original restaurant. I am so glad we did. When I say everything was good. Gigi was behind that bar mixing like her life depended on it. Lol We love this history behind the restaurant. The blending of Korean and Creole flavors really works here. The place was very lively and has hip hop tunes playing in the background. The neon signs give tribute to the history. The service was great as the staff were very friendly. Food pictured: Cocktails: Dragonfruit lemon drop and a passion fruit lemon drop Shot: Green tea shot Food: Spicy Seafood Ramen, Neno Friend Chicken w/ crawfish fried rice and Gumbo Soup Dumplings Prices are reasonable and match the portion sizes. Many of the dishes are sized for sharing. I definitely plan to make this a staple during visits. read more

We came here right before we left NOLA. It was BUSY!!! But it's expected in the area, again it's NOLA so it's always busy. We got sat down pretty quick because we decided to eat at the bar. Our bartender/ waitress was so sweet and she was WORKING!! Getting the drinks out, taking down orders all that! She was amazing! Super attentive despite how busy she was. She took her time to explain some of the drinks she was making which was thoughtful! We were just curious watching her make all these different drinks. The food was great! The gumbo soup dumplings were out of this world! The chicken salad was that a chicken salad nothing stood out and then the bulgolgi po boy? Fire! We'll definitely come back to this spot when we visit. read more
**sigh** this is still one of my top 3 favorite restaurants in New Orleans! The food is consistently amazing, the service is always spectacular, and no matter what time of day you visit, you're guaranteed to have an incredible experience. The vibe here is a relaxing and laid-back, that makes you want to sit back and unwind. It's one of those places that never disappoints and keeps you coming back for more. read more
Sun Chong delivers a fun Korean New Orleans fusion experience with a lively atmosphere that clearly draws a crowd. The restaurant was packed during our visit, giving the space an energetic and social vibe that worked well for a night out. The kimchi lobster pasta was the highlight of the meal. It balanced richness with a nice punch of flavor and felt like a successful fusion dish rather than just a novelty. The gumbo dumplings, on the other hand, sounded more exciting than they actually tasted. They leaned noticeably salty, and the flavors did not quite come together in a way that justified the hype. The drink menu offers plenty of variety, though nothing we tried particularly stood out. Still, there are enough options to complement the food and overall experience. Service kept things moving despite how busy the restaurant was, and overall it is a solid spot if you are looking for something lively and different. Some dishes shine more than others, but the creativity and atmosphere make it worth checking out at least once. read more
Sun Chong was my #1 favorite dinner pick during my vacation. My food and drinks were great. The shrimp bao buns were great. The wings were so good and the crawfish fried rice was really good as well. My friends did not enjoy all of their food. One said the ribs were too spicy, however, from a third party visualization, they were huge and well presented. My other friend had some type of beef with rice and peppers, she said it was kind of dry. The only issue I had was the wait time. We had to wait outside for 25-30 minutes, then we sat at the bar once there was availability and just ended up ordering at the bar because it took so long for them to call us for a table. And once we ordered at the bar it still took over a half hour for the food to come. read more

Loved Sun Chong! The ambiance, service and food was all so good! It is a quaint restaurant. Our server was very good and made several good recommendations based on our preferences. The menu had a lot of really good options and was hard to choose. My friend got the lobster kimchi pasta ($36) and I got the shrimp ramen ($24). The Ramen tasted delicious plenty of flavor and the noodles tasted fresh. I wish it was a little bit spicier, but that's just my personal preference. read more
Ambiance is great, nice vibes. Wonderful service. The gumbo dumplings were a little too salty and the bbq pork was nice but nothing spectacular. Same with the beef bulgogi and the salmon. Nothing different from anything I've had before. Dependable food with nice vibes (although the music is a little too loud) and the service was good. But I don't think we'll be coming back bc while the food was decent, it wasn't anything we hadn't already had. Not sure why there is always a long wait for this place but we managed to get in and I'm glad we did. But it just wasn't so good that a return visit is necessary. Maybe for someone else, this place is amazing but not so for us. read more
I'm everything was delish! Almost I mean. Let's talk about all the good stuff. Let me start with my Favorite bite/ fried chicken... I have never, ever had fried chicken so damn good! Moist, delectable, juicy, fragrant, tender chicken wings. There were 6 of us and our waiter, Johari, did an outstanding job of guiding us through the menu. We ordered quite a few appetizers; everything we had was absolutely delish!!! read more

The gumbo dumplings were amazing. I cannot say enough good things about the food. Service leaves a lot to be desired. The staff aren't rude they're just not polite. Only place in New Orleans I experienced bad service. I've been to over 20 restaurants in and around the city. It's darkly lit so I would recommend for a date night, but the service needs improvement. The bulgogi took a long time to come out make 35 minutes to the kitchens credit it was hot. The two dishes below were nearly $60 before tip. They did have touchless pay so that was nice. read more
Love this food fusion. Dumplings are a must. We had the gumbo dumplings and wished we would have also ordered the etoufee ones but we were so full. The seafood ramen was so good. Yum yum ribs with rice were very delicious. Server was great even though the place was quite busy. Only complaint was the restrooms. Once you turn the corner you are hit with a most pungent old Clorox beach towels/vomit smell. It was so bad and glad I didnt use the restrooms until the end. Not sure what that was about. read more

If you from the city, then you know this place use to be the pizza stop. And honestly they had some good pizza. But now there's a new boss in town lol When you walk in they have the presence of the manager and the hostess. Which is great, because we know front of house is always taken care of. Our bartender was Tia, she was such a sweetheart with a calming & happy voice. Let's start off with the drinks. We ordered The Seoul margarita 10/10 that's a perfect margarita The Seoul smash 8/10 and honestly because I'm not a fan of the bitter taste, but it was strong. For the food. We ordered Gumbo dumplings- 8/10 and that's because I was honestly looking for that gumbo taste but it was a bit of a tangy twist to it.. the dumplings could have also been a little softer. Bulgogi-10/10 had great flavor! And was close to my sister in laws beef bulgogi. * the side salad was fresh and good, the dressing was good as well I think I was a simple soy sauce. Glazed salmon- 10/10 the glaze had a bit of a hardened top which set it off fr! The bok choy was good as well! In the end we paid 209.88 with an added gratuity of 29.34 Overall will I be back YES! read more
It was definitely not the best food I've ever had. Service was also very slow and lacked attention. A bit over priced too. Veggie fried rice was very very bland. The Asian chicken salad was very average. Said it would come with strawberries but it did not. Yum yum ribs -beware it's a bit spicy! I think it comes from the gochujang. But a little too dry after they fried it. The bok choy that came with the ribs was the best part. Lobster pasta was good. Gumbo soup dumplings also was ok and a tad spicy. read more

We came by one evening and were seated at the bar. It was crowded and hot but after we sat for a bit we settled into the vibe. We ordered some sparkling wine, pork bacos, gumbo dumplings, and the seafood ramen pasta - all items that were highly recommended online. As a mixed Korean, I was excited to try fusion dishes after all the delicious food I had been having in New Orleans and knowing how good Korean food can be, but maybe I had my hopes too high - the best rating I could give was a nod and a shrug of the shoulder to the gumbo dumplings which had flavor and a satisfying bite if you pop the entire thing in your mouth (it's messier if you try to bite it). Note that I said it had flavor - I've had better dumplings, but this one is "cool" for being stuffed with gumbo. The seafood ramen was so incredibly salty that all I tasted was salt and that granular, smoky feeling from something having too much seasoning that didn't actually get infused into the dish. It was like they decided to dump a ramen seasoning packet (or four) into a jambalaya spice mix and then toss some ramen noodles and seafood into it. I think this dish has the potential to be good but this wasn't it. Admittedly, I did not try the bacos, but I'll take my friend's word for it that they were decent. Finally, I think the bartender was friendly but trying to manage too many customers. Our interactions always felt rushed or cut short. We had to sit with our food for a while before we finally got someone's attention just to get some silverware and it was only because we were seated by the sink and someone had just bused a table. The nice thing I can say is that the food was presented well and I think I took some decent photos. read more
Excellent and friendly service. Before my trip to New Orleans I scouted out some restaurants I hadn't tried before. While doing my research I canme across Sun Chong and their unique soup dumplings. I was really excited to try these. Once I arrived I was greated by a very friendly waitress. I asked her which of the two soup dumplings I should try - the gumbo or etouffee soup dumplings. She highly recommended the etouffee ones. I also ordered the chicken lettuce wraps. I was excited to hear it was happy hour and the wraps were discounted! The lettuce wraps consisted of diced teriyaki chicken. They were delicious but I wish there had been just a little more chicken. The etouffee soup dumplings were piping hot! They weren't really soup dumplings in the traditional sense, but rather stuffed dumplings with the soup on the spoon, not inside the dumpling. The dumplings were stuffed with crawfish, shrimp, and seasoned vegetables. The filling was good but the "etouffee" sauce was very thin and I didn't really care for the flavor of the broth. It wasn't bad but didn't live up to my expectations. I may go back next time I'm in town try the gumbo dumplings. I do like the concept and I'm willing to give it another try. read more
Ok, we had to stop by this place because I saw the gumbo dumplings on IG. This was actually before our last stop. We had just eaten at Brennan's, walked over to Loretta's, and even hit Du Monde, so we were already completely stuffed. But since it was our last day, we had to squeeze more spots in. Service here was fantastic. The young bartender really took care of us and gave some great local recommendations, even though they weren't nearby. She suggested the redfish poboy from the happy hour menu and I'm so glad we listened because it was phenomenal. The dumplings were good, nothing mind blowing, though she said the étouffée ones are usually better but they were sold out. The drinks were great and everything we ordered really hit the spot. read more
Sun Chong has such a nice vibe relaxed, welcoming, and a great spot to unwind. The food was really good across the board. I highly recommend the ribs and the fried chicken -- both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The crawfish rice was exceptionally good and definitely something I'd order again. The drinks were made well and balanced just right, which always makes the experience even better. There's street parking available, and there's also a paid parking lot directly across the street if you need it. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely be back! read more

What a vibe!!!! Sun Chong is where it's at! The atmosphere the food the service everything is top tier! Make a reservation as soon as you think about going. It is a must if you want to get in. The gumbo dumplings were soooo good and we followed that up with the Bacos - shrimp bao buns... sooooo good!!! Also whoever is on the aux cord in the restaurant should be acknowledged, the music selection was everything. read more
Everything here is so so flavorful! We tried 2 of the seasonal drinks, the gumbo dumplings, crawfish poboy, redfish poboy, and spicy pork bacos. I really love the yum yum sauce on the poboys. The dumplings have a nice kick to them, and all of the cocktails were yummy but pricey. It was not easy to find parking in the area since it's in the French Quarter so definitely keep that in mind. Service is good, everyone is very nice. Nice ambiance, be sure to set a reservation. read more
