Sam Sunny NYC | Korean Comfort in a Manhattan Corner
In a city overrun with Instagrammable spots, Sam Sunny stands out as a low-key Korean family kitchen. It’s all about the healing combo of grilled meats and simmering stews, perfect for a solo meal without awkwardness and group gatherings with the right vibe. A true gem of Korean cuisine! 🔥 Must-Order Signature Dishes ◆ Galbi Jjim - Korean Braised Short Ribs ($28.5) The short ribs are cooked till the meat falls off the bone, with a sweet and spicy sauce that’s to die for. Topped with carrots and rice cakes, it’s a masterpiece with rice. Highly recommend adding cheese 🧀️ for that stringy, meaty happiness explosion. ◆ Budae Jjigae - Army Stew ($19.8/single serving) A classic combo of spam, kimchi, noodles, and cheese, with a creamy base thanks to milk powder. Perfect for a late-night recharge after a long day at work. ◆ Jokbal - Korean Braised Pig’s Feet ($24) Tender, boneless pig’s feet packed with collagen, best enjoyed wrapped in lettuce with garlic and chili sauce. A hidden trick: dip it in the tofu sauce from the next table for a refreshing twist. 💡 Pro Tips ▫️ Lunch sets (11:30-15:00) come with 6 side dishes + pumpkin porridge, and egg custard can be refilled for free. ▫️ Solo seats by the window come with charging outlets, and a free Americano with soup and rice during weekdays. ▫️ Book a table in advance for weekends, as the signature beef bone soup is limited. 📸 Ambiance Keywords Rustic wooden tables and chairs with warm yellow lighting, and the sizzle of grilled meats from the open kitchen.
