Sunn's is a really nice elevated Korean spot tucked into a tiny space right off the F train in Chinatown. The room is intimate, the wine was excellent, and service was warm and on point. The hwe crudo was refreshing and delicious, and the salad was also a standout -- bright, crisp, and really well-balanced. But the best thing we had by far was the dak mandu, the crab/chicken dumplings. Those alone are worth coming back for. The ssam lettuce wraps were good, though they read a little more like Jewish brisket with a spicy bean sauce than what I expected from a Korean lettuce wrap. Still tasty, just a different vibe. Honestly, this would've been a 5-star meal if I didn't leave with three mosquito bites. Great food, great service, great wine -- just maybe bring bug spray. read more

Came here with some friends to use the Chase Sapphire Reserve $150 credit. For a table of 4, we paid $300 with tip and tax which worked out because we had two credits at the table so we just split the bill. We ordered the following: Food -hwe (steelhead trout, seaweed muchim, green strawberries) $25 -banchan of the day (napa cabbage kimchi, namul spring greens in hot mustard jang, tahini pickled mushrooms, creamy potato salad with asian pear, dubu jeon fried and marinated tofu, garlicky cucumber muchim) $25 -off menu banchan (kimchi braised with pork) $6 -soon dubu chigae (silken tofu in spicy cardoon broth, perilla, pepitas, egg) $24 -ssam (soy-caramelized beef brisket, ssamjan, lettuce wraps) $38 -tteokbokki (fresh rice cakes baked with tomato & gochujang, puur grond gouda) $26 Drinks -tart cherry+yuzu somaek $9 -Hana Makgeolli Takju Brooklyn Rice Wine $39 After the first round of food, we were still hungry so we ordered another round of ssam. Overall the food is good; however, prices are a little steep for the size of the food. Out of all the items we tried, I enjoyed the hwe and tteokbokki the most. Space is small so reservations are highly recommended (which we did have). Service was good and food and drinks came out quickly. read more

Restaurant is small and best to make a reservation. Was greeted and seated quickly. Menu is small but there is an extensive wine list. I ordered the banchan and all of the main dishes. Food came consistently quickly. Banchan was kimchi, spicy cucumbers, egg, tofu, and potato salad. Also ordered 2 of the specials which was the squid and the beef jerky. Standout was definitely the squid since it packed so much flavor. For the mains, the standout was the ssam which was a beef brisket. The flavors went well with the sauce and garlic and jalapeño they give on the side. The dumplings didnt really have a lot of taste. Liked the ttekboki concept as it reminded me an Italian dish. Banchan was just okay to me. May go back to try other seasonal dishes. read more

I wanted to love Sunn's but overall it felt overrated. We ordered the banchan, chigae, bossam and tteokbokki. Starting with the positives -the banchan was solid across the board and really flavorful. That said, charging for banchan feels strange to me. Traditionally, it's complimentary, like bread at an Italian restaurant so that part didn't sit right but it was flavorful. The chigae was interesting and probably the standout dish. It had a unique flavor that reminded me of a mix between soondubu and dwenjang chigae which worked well. Unfortunately, the rest was a miss. The bossam was overly salty and didn't feel true to the dish. The tteokbokki was another disappointment -it came with cheese (which wasn't expected) and just fell flat overall. For the hype, I expected much more especially because I've eaten Korean food my whole life. The venue is small and the seats in the back are uncomfortable. read more

Food/drinks: delicious!! Everything was very good, I wouldn't get banchan again but the trout and tofu soon dubu was worth it Atmosphere: cute!! This is definitely what you are paying for as well, Very cramped and close spacing but in a nice way Service: friendly but if you walk in you may have limited time to sit! I wish they had let us know before we sat down how much time we had for eating Price: pricey, definitely upscale! read more

I really liked 80% of the meal, but the tteokboki was a miss for me. Banchan is amazing, best spread I've ever had. Ssam is solid, but not especially noteworthy. The tteokobki is decent and on every table, but I just didnt get why you do an Italian fusion item at an otherwise very Korean restaurant. Missed the traditional gochujang flavor there for sure. read more

I came here because it's one of the restaurants that give the Chase Sapphire Reserve $150 OpenTable credit. It's a very small and narrow restaurant but creates a cute, intimate environment. They have an extensive wine selection and some unique drinks on their menu. The food though was just okay. The Hwe was steelhead trout with pickled strawberry. The Ssam was very tender and juicy. The other dishes were not very impressive, especially the Banchan which as some other reviews have said, seems a bit ridiculous to charge $25 for when many other Korean restaurants give this for free. The service was great though. I just wish the food was a little more special given the price tag and the location. Hwe 9/10 Banchan of the Day 6/10 Ssam 9/10 Spicy Tomato Tteokbokki 6/10 read more

One of the new hot spots that opened not so long ago. I had high expectations going in It's definitely a challenge to have to order banchan (appetizers) when culturally they come complimentary at Korean restaurants. I quite liked the tteokbokki that was served in a lasagna style, but my friend did not...so it definitely just depends on each person's taste! The salad was refreshing so I would recommend that as well read more

yeah boiiii phenomenal. perfection. snagged a res for the ladys birthday and was so so so excited to finally be at Sunn's. went into thinking it was traditional korean, but was actually really fusioned with french/new american flavors, but never forgot its korean roots. everything was divine, and the service was exceptional. sat at chefs table; man that tiny ass kitchen is a miracle. was really suprised with the soondabo. feel like i've ever only had one flavor profile, but chef sunn was telling me how she was inspired by pozole as a rift on the dish. i have had a lot better banchan before thoooo thanks for having us and making the night so special! excited to come back read more

Played the Opentable notification game and got a Friday night counter spot. My boyfriend and I shared: + Banchan of the day + added gochujang candied squid + Sunn's salad with chicories, sweet potato, sesame jang + Spicy tomato Tteokbokki + Ssam (beef brisket) + Sesame Crusted Mochi Cake Ssam was my favorite dish. Also loved the kimchi, cucumbers and potato salad from the banchan. Tteokbokki was a standout as well. It was more than enough food, and we even took home leftovers. Service was very friendly, and coat check was a nice touch! read more

Interesting small spot with a chef that's happy to chat about her restaurant. We were initially seated at the bar, but asked to move to a table and they obliged. The bar really is not conducive for 2 people sharing this many items; it's quite small. On to the food: Banchan were all great, we even added on a special spicy tuna and it was sooo good. We ordered 5 of the 6 mains and some were great and others were just ok. 1. The winter fruit salad (Bitter greens, dates, pears, lotus) was light and refreshing. 2. Chicken and crab dumplings were good, but couldn't taste any crab. 3. The Brisket is a must get, super flavorful and tender meat and well seasoned. 4. Chigae was not my favorite, it was pretty non traditional with flavors (paprika for example), and fell a bit flat. 5. Tteokbokki was as described but not overly exciting. 6. Wines were delicious and can be purchased at the adjacent Parcelle Wines Overall, I wouldn't rush to return, but glad I made a stop Banchan 5/5 Winter Salad 4/5 Chicken and Crab Dumpling 4/5 Brisket Ssam 5/5 Chigae 3/5 Tteokbokki 3/5 read more

Super small place. Very cozy and intimate seating and also pretty dark inside. It was okay food wise. Only 6 things on the menu too tbh. We had 4 of them + banchan which is 25$. Super small portions and expensive. Everything was pretty fusion and not Korean flavor ish. I liked the tteokbokki but it was very tomatoey and almost 0 Korean gochujang flavor. Short rib fatty parts was good otherwise it was kinda dry. But I did like it with the lettuce and the kimchi + samjang. Banchan was decent the one dish I liked was the mashed potato Banchan. Sundubu was kinda bland sweeter than normal. Definitely not bad but lacking in spice and very unreminiscent of Korean Sundubu. The hwe lowkey didn't taste like anything. And it was super duper small. This was probably my least favorite dish. read more

Small space that's cute for a date night or catch up with a friend. Service was just ok. We sat at the counter and didn't get a chance to interact with the chefs. It's weird sitting right in front of them and not getting an acknowledgment. A simple "hi" would be a nice touch. Food was just meh when I compare it to general Korean food I've eaten. We ordered their banchan set, dumplings, and tteokbokki. A few of the dishes were too salty or just ok. Favorite thing was the dumplings though...I'd say must order if you go. read more

Sunn's is one of the harder tables to snag within Dimes Square these days. My hunch is that it may be thanks to the viral straciatella-gochujang tteokbeoki. While the dish has mass appeal, owner Sunny Lee has hinted that this is probably the most low-brow dish on the menu. Indeed, the items I'll remember from a late Sunday evening at Sunn's are mostly everything but the tteok. All of the banchan were excellent, but my favorite was the eggplant 나물, which was rather uniquely topped with olives. Dates also made a surprise appearance in the restaurant's namesake salad, which was a textural delight to the palette. I would have preferred a bottle of 처음처럼 to celebrate a first visit here, but the upmarket Jinro "Is Back" was objectively the right choice of pairing. read more

I liked Sunn's but am very conflicted about the experience overall. Let's start with the positives. This is a small and intimate wine bar with only a few tables and some bar seating. I overall liked the vibes. It felt trendy but was still very casual. Our server was excellent. He was very friendly but not at all overbearing. He also recommended a great bottle of wine that I really enjoyed with the meal. Food wise, everything tasted pretty good and authentic (coming from a Korean American). I especially liked the ssam. That soy-caramelized beef brisket was truly special. However, there were a few negatives I feel like I need to mention. I am still thrown off by a restaurant charging $25 for banchan. These are usually served for free at traditional Korean restaurants. The banchan were all quite good (especially the chili smoked eggplant) but they were not significantly better than the ones I would get complimentary at a Korean restaurant in Fort Lee or Palisades Park. In fact, I think everything was a bit overpriced in general. I also tried the hwe and chicken dumplings. Both were fine, but were also $5-$10 too expensive. For instance, they literally gave us five dumplings and charged $27. Overall, I can see why Sunn's is such a hit but I'm also a bit hesitant to recommend it, especially to other Korean Americans. I think considering price, this is a solid 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4). read more

Really cute and trendy Korean spot for small dishes and an extensive wine list. My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday night with no reservation and waited about 1.5h for our bar seating spot. We ordered quite a few dishes and our waiter was incredibly helpful in helping us order just the right amount of food. We got the banchan including one of the specials of the day, mandu, ddukbokki, pork belly, and the sesame crusted mochi cake for dessert. Everything was fresh and flavorful with an elevated spin on classic Korean dishes. Great spot for a date night or a more intimate dinner with friends! read more

Came here in the midst of Canal Open Streets so with so many outdoor tables from various restaurants, it's very easy to miss this tiny place that's super tucked away. Amazing place if you're a wine connoisseur since the menu's stacked. Food highlight was the steak lettuce wraps--the meat was so incredibly flavorful and tender that I didn't even wrap it up, just ate it as is. The tteokbokki, with the slightly charred rice cakes, was also the perfect comfort dish, could very easily have eaten a tray of that all by myself. read more

Sunn's has been on my list for several months and I am happy to report that it completely lived up to my expectations. The restaurants is tucked away in a quiet Chinatown street. The space is small, cozy, and intimate. So small, in fact, that the vapors from the open kitchen condense over the front windows, giving it the most perfect warm feel for the cold winter days. Getting a reservation ahead of time is quite essential since space is very limited but not too difficult to do if you get on OpenTable when they get release them. The hostess was very warm and welcoming. Our waiter was incredibly helpful! He gave us tips on how much to order (honest opinions and based off on observations from other groups), as well as proving us a very similar price and flavor profile alternative to a bottle of wine we had ordered but that ran out. He also was very available without being overbearing or making us feel rushed. His recommendations were all on point since we left perfectly full. We got a bottle of Riesling which was absolutely delicious and refreshing (the alternative our waiter had recommended!) For food between two we split: - Hwe: perfectly refreshing and bright starter. The fish was cold, had a tangy/ citrus flavor. It had a super lean cut that was well balanced by the pickled and spicy elements from the mushroom and gochujang. Amazing mix of umami and spice! Had more fish than I excepted for an appetizer which was a pleasant surprise. - Banchan of the day: okay, so one of the stars of the show! I absolutely loved all of them but highlights were the kimchi (best kimchi I've had), the eggplant dish, as well as the potato salad. It was evident they used incredibly high quality ingredients and the quantity is generous when you split with another person. Very filling and flavorful. - Ssam: another amazing dish... my mouth still waters at the thought. Tender brisket, with an umami and caramelized glaze that paired nicely with the fermented ssamjang. The cool and fresh lettuce was the perfect pairing to wrap this in to balance out some of the hot and umami flavors. We also used some of the rice that came with our Banchan to eat this with. Rich, comforting, but not too heavy. 11/10! - Tteokbokki: the reason I wanted to come here initially. This was a work of art. The tteokbokki came out steaming hot, and had a chewy texture. The gochujang sauce was spicy but sweet which perfectly contrasted the salty melted cheese which was burnt in some areas and had a nice crisp to it. Absolutely delicious! The onions on top were also amazing and added a little tangy sweetness which really tied all the flavors together (by no means remove the onions). Another hit! - Sesame mochi cake: after one bite, this climbed up my list of favorite desserts in the city. Chewy, buttery, nutty, and not too sweet. It is the perfect dessert in my eyes. The mochi texture was exquisite, and the crunchy sesame seeds as well as the soybean powder added an earthy, roasted, and nutty essence to this that really deepened the flavors. I would come back exclusively for this. Overall, I really enjoyed my dinner at Sunn's and have no doubt I want to come back in the future. The menu is small but everything is executed to perfection. You can tell they pour their hearts into the food; the care, the tradition, the presentation, the ingredients... all are exceptional. I appreciated the honesty, practicality, and warmth of the service. It made it feel like a very down-to-Earth establishment. The ambiance is super cute and perfect for a date. I highly recommend you try this place if you have the chance. Thanks for the amazing meal! read more

Cute little wine bar with delicious Korean food. Definitely would recommend making a reservation as seating is very limited. Came on a Thursday with a friend after making a reservation a couple of weeks before. We arrived right at 6:30 pm and were immediately seated. While the restaurant is small, the tables are a good size (likely to ensure all the banchan fits!) and it doesn't feel cramped at all! The wine list is pretty extensive and the server was able to talk through the different options to help us choose a bottle. Food-wise, the menu is small but mighty-- we ended up ordering the banchan plus one of the specials of the day (an extra $6), the ssam, and tteobokki. I really enjoyed the banchan! They were delicious and definitely felt like a higher quality than what you may get at your typical korean restaurant, so I didn't feel bad paying for them. Even the add on we got (tuna + tomatoes), felt like a good value at $6. The tteobokki was definitely unique with the stracciatella on top and super filling (as tteobokki tends to be). The only thing I didn't really love about it was the tteok-- it was short, flat shaped instead of the typical long ones and I felt like it didn't have the bounce I wanted. The ssam was pretty good-- the meat was cooked to perfection but it wasn't anything novel flavor wise. If you are craving meat though I would definitely recommend. Since it's a small restaurant, they are pretty strict on the dining time. When we had 20 minutes left, we were asked if we wanted dessert as we had to vacate by 8 pm. So if you are looking for a yap session with a friend I might choose elsewhere. One last note-- I noticed other tables seemed to get better interaction from the restaurant. The table next to us got two complimentary banchan and the table behind us had a visit from the chef. Obviously I never expect any additional treatment, but at a restaurant that small, it's hard to not notice when the majority of the population is getting a slightly elevated experience. I'd suggest either ensuring that for all the tables or to avoid doing so, as it did detract slightly from my overall impression. read more

Managed to snatch a reservation at Sunn's and really enjoyed my entire dining experience. Struggling to decide between a 4 and a 5, but ultimately rated a 5 given the overall creativity of the dishes and service! The banchan were all very tasty! The tahnini mushrooms and smokey squash were my top two from their standard banchan set. Loved how the squash was well seasoned and with a good texture. We also got one of their special off menu dishes: the anchovies with walnuts, which had the perfect umami and crunch for your meal. I appreciated how the cucumber wasnt too sour and had a nice refreshing crunch. I agree with others that it felt weird to pay for banchan. The hwe featured fresh bluefin tuna pieces with a touch of EVOO. I've never had snow ear in a crudo-like, cold appetizer dish so it was very interesting! The crunch and spice of the marinated burdock root contrasted nicely with the tender fish and almost-slimy snow ear! The mandu reminded me of Russian pelmeni because of the dill. The crab component didn't come through as much but I liked the overall combination of savory, herbacious flavors, and a touch of tanginess. I liked the ssam more than expected! It was very well seasoned and tender. The veggies were fresh. The wine selection was great and their orange was delectable!! I liked the cider too but it was a little tangy. To end it off, the mochi cake was chewy without being too sweet. Love how it's studded with sesame and the bean powder gives it a little sweet-savory contrast action. The restaurant itself is pretty small, but intimate and cozy. The water containers reminded me of my Korean friends' homes. Food came out quick and staff were pretty attentive! I mixed up my reservation time and they were able to accomodate my mistake/last minute change. read more

Sunn's is such a cute and fun wine bar! The space inside is super small, so best for a date night (there's only one table inside that can seat 4). A bit expensive, but the menu is very small so its understandable, and everything tastes super fresh and clean. We started out with 2 wines and ordered the following for a "happy hour" esque meal" - Hwe (4/5): light and refreshing. Came with cherries which was unique but delicious combo. - Banchan of the day (5/5): every banchan was so good! The smoky eggplant and creamy potato salad were surprise favorites, and we also added on a special banchan of the day, rolled omelette ($6), which we also loved. It only came with one bowl of rice though - Dak mandu (5/5): also a hit! The mandu came out hot and was so juicy, and the filling was so flavorful. The skin of the mandu was also light and thing, tasted so comforting. Service was super fast! read more

We didn't drink much but got one of their somaek drinks, which was light and paired well with the food. The food was great -- the hwe was a favorite (texture, flavors) and the rest was great as well (though banchan was a bit expensive). The mochi cake for dessert is also a must order! read more

Rating: 3.5 Been wanting to try this place but it's hard to get a res (I tried walking in before around when they opened for dinner but since it's such a small space I think they book out so you're not guaranteed a seat even if you wait.) We ended up going at 9:30pm on the weekend since we didn't book early enough. We ordered the banchan (you could pay extra for add-ons but we opted not to), the chicken and crab dumplings, the tteokbokki, and the ssam. Everything was good but honestly nothing really stood out, especially for the price we paid. Of the banchan I liked the eggplant the most, but I found most of the dishes were on the sour side which isn't my preference. Dumplings were good but thought there was too much dill (to be fair I also don't really like dill) and definitely pricey for what you get. The tteokbokki tasted like rice cakes in a marinara sauce, which I guess is what makes it more innovative but I think I would've preferred the regular gochujang-based tteokbokki sauce. Ssam was good - meat was tender but wish they cut it up into smaller pieces or gave us kitchen scissors to do it ourselves. They put a few radicchio leaves with the lettuce, which we weren't a fan of (not a fan of the bitterness). I might be biased for more traditional Korean flavors - I appreciated the fusion concept but overall wasn't super impressed. read more

Overpriced and overhyped. Was excited for this one but so disappointed. Banchan was not special. Tahini wood ear lowkey was kinda bitter from the tahini, fried tofu was bland. Your average banchan from K-town restaurants is not much different. Ttebbokki was also flavorless. The dish is like a baked pasta, but the rice cakes didn't absorb any of it. Ssam was pretty good, but not worth the price point. Overall space is quite small and loud. read more

This hole in the wall in the middle of Dime Square is early missed but I'm glad we didn't. We live 5 minutes away and am really glad to see another Parcelle collaboration. Given the small space, it's not easy getting a reservation. We were seated by the bar which is definitely a bit tight. We pretty much ordered everything from the menu except the salad and the tteokbokki. Our favorite was the kimbap and the mandoo. The sesame mochi dessert was also amazing. Service was attentive and friendly. The chef said bye to us on our way out and thanked us for coming. Overall very good experience.

I can tell that whoever created this place put a lot of effort into the menu (it's very unique and interesting mix of like Italian and Korean) and vibe but it didn't really hit the spot for me and was kind of expensive.

Sunn's is a tucked away hidden gem. The Korean food is delicious and filling, and the flavors are familiar and comforting yet also come with some surprising additions. While it can be hard to get a table, especially on the weekend - there are only a few tables for 4, most tables are for parties of 2 - if you're lucky to get a walk-in or reservation, just order the whole menu! For our party of 4, we ordered: - 2 orders of hwe: cubes of raw fish (possibly salmon, amberjack), white wood ear or cloud mushrooms and crunchy laver sitting atop a sweet spicy chojang sauce - 4 spicy tuna mayak kimbap: with pickled carrots and sesame oil in the rice, it definitely reads as kimbap vs a Japanese style spicy tuna hand roll. The toasted krispy rice also adds a playful and fun element that keep it from being ordinary - banchan set: dried squid in gochujang sauce, potato salad, spinach and laver mix, Napa cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, gyeran mari (sliced rolled egg omelet) wrapped in marinated perilla leaf, a mushroom and eggplant mix, tahini with onion and leeks, and a sliced marinated ox tail - chicken broth dumpling dduk soup - Sunn's salad: a mix of toasted lotus root, picked caulinni, cucumber, watermelon radish over tahini - bossam: boiled pork with lettuce wrap - ddukbokki: sliced thick rice cake coins in a spicy arrabiata sauce with a creamy cheese sauce - sesame encrusted butter mochi Sunn was a warm and welcoming hostess as she bustled between finishing dishes in the small open kitchen, chatting with guests at the counters and dropping off banchan with a snails at the tables. Either she or her staff explained each dish and helped steer us to a delicious fruity beaujolais red wine to have with the meal. The service was so attentive and friendly! You can tell a lot of care goes into each meal. It's not fussy, but the flavors and textures are thoughtfully considered and spot on.

We liked the food. The fact that they opened the door on a chilly night to get us to leave was pretty pathetic. Passive aggressive. We had just spent $250 for the dinner, there were at least four other parties still there, and we were freezing by the door. Ridiculous. I wouldn't go back just for that reason.

The restaurant is definitely on the smaller side and reservations are actually fairly difficult to get (need to be on Resy 2 weeks in advance). I would say everything was prepared well with good quality ingredients and we enjoyed everything we ordered-- that being said, it's a little pricey for what you get. I don't mind paying for banchan (my favorites were the mushrooms, kimchi, and potato salad) but while their banchan is definitely very good, it also didn't seem THAT much better than the kind of gotten at other restaurants for free. Hwe was very refreshing and the perfect dish for a hot day, fish quality excellent. Galbi wraps were very flavorful and meat was tender. read more

Sunn's is one of the best new restaurants in the city, and now that it's easier to get a table there is no excuse not to go. The small wine bar in dimes square is serving top notch Korean food in an intimate, small, cozy space. We had; Banchan - 6 Korean side dishes served with rice. They all were great, The standouts were the potato salad, kimchee, and eggplant. The banchan can change daily and they offer additional options to add on. Hwe - the offering on the night we went was tuna with cloud mushrooms. This was excellent. Sunn's Salad - various fruits and veggies in a sesame dressing. This is one of the best salads in the city and probably our favorite dish of the night. Short Rib Ssam - as good as any Korean BBQ spot in the city. Tteokbokki - rice cakes made lasagna style. This is one of Sunn's signature dishes and is a must get when visiting. A great mashup of the Korean dish Italian style. Mochi Rice Cake - a dairy free dessert, very good. Service was top notch at Sunn's. Get a reservation and go. read more
