Sam SunnyB+

517 2nd Ave, New York, NY 10016 · Korean restaurant · Kips Bay

Modern Korean spot with standout tomahawk galbi, kimchi fried rice with katsu theatre, and warm service; flavors skew sweet/saucy for some, with banchan and portions varying by visit.

Our take

Sam Sunny delivers solid modern Korean dining with strong food quality anchored by standout dishes like tomahawk galbi and cheesy chicken galbi, paired with attentive service and stylish ambiance. However, inconsistent execution—flavor profiles that skew sweet or saucy, variable banchan refills, and occasional service lapses—prevents grade A territory. The restaurant competes well with respected neighborhood Korean spots but lacks the refinement or consistency to rank among the area's premier dining destinations.

One caveat: Flavor balance can run sweet or heavily sauced for some diners
