Sunn’s
Korean
At Sunn's, Chef Sunny Lee elevates banchan from supporting cast to main event, producing six daily small plates that bend Korean tradition toward France and Italy in a kitchen barely larger than a closet. Crushed olives tangle with eggplant namul; hot mustard stands in for Dijon—stubbornly original gestures in a room that refuses to apologize for its ambitions.
