Sunn's

6.2/10

AI-generated summary

People split hard on Sunn's. Fans call it elevated Korean with a great rotating and a strong list, and say it's hard to get into. Critics say it's overpriced and tiny, that the $25 banchan is salty and unremarkable, and that the is bland. It's fusion, not traditional Korean, so set expectations.

  • overpriced and mediocre imo. $25 banchan not even special / worth the markup. the ttebbokki barely had flavor from the sauce and tasted so bland.

  • sunn’s is fantastic if you’re looking for an elevated experience. I personally loved the innovative twists on traditional dishes with immaculate execution

  • Not worth it - banchan is so so salty and nothing special in terms of flavour. Tteoboki tasted like ketchup with cheese.

  • replying to u/nahnah515: No— it’s nothing special. I had the whole menu and the only notable items were the soondubu and the mochi cake. Everything else was mid. It’s a travesty she makes you pay for mid banchan. If I’m going to pay for banchan, it better be the best banchan I’ve had in my life, and it definitely was not.

    I agree with this! I was disappointed. My friend and I actually almost didn't order the banchan but pressured us into it, and we wishes that they hadn't.

  • I went last week and it was sooooo good but prob like "elevated Korean fusion" so like, go in with correct expectations. Flavors were fab though.
