Sumi Korean Restaurant

Great Korean spot. Good portions for your value. Owner served us and it was a pleasant experience: attentive, efficient, and considerate for our party of 5, gave us 2 sets of banchan for our table. Owner operated so felt good about supporting a local business. Food tasted great and came out hot!

This is one of my favourite Korean restaurants in Vancouver. Food is very good and delicious. Seafood Jjampong, Seafood Soondoobu, Pork cutlets, Jjajang myeon, Tangsuyuk and Spicy pork on rice are my favourite. Most every food never disappointed you. Every food portions is very big. People are very friendly and kind. Highly recommend! Enjoy~~~ I am very happy to have them near me.

The food was good, the customer service not so much. If first impressions occur when guests walk in, ours wasn't a very good one. My wife and I stood at the waiting area and not one employee acknowledged us for a solid 5 minutes, not even the manager. We had to stop one of the wait staff to be told to 'sign ourselves in'. Some minutes passed and the manager waved to us to follow him into the other side of the restaurant. We didn't see him show us the table so we almost followed him into the kitchen area. He sauntered back with menus for us. Water was brought to the table but I had to look thru one of the portholes in the wall to tell the manager we were ready to order. We ordered some comfort dishes and they didn't disappoint, fortunately. Both the Gom-tang and Seol-long tang were flavorful.

Great addition to the neighbourhood. The interior of the place is really clean and the staff were really welcoming. Food tasted great as well! There were so many sides in addition to the main dish it was like i ordered 5 different things. The prices might look high but you are definitely getting your money's worth. The only thing that I found weird were the chopsticks; they're not round or square but kinda flat and I had to fumble around a bit to get used to them.

I’ve only been to a few Korean restaurants so far but this one is my favourite! The pancake was very filling and flavourful. The noodle dish and hot bowl were also delicious! The decor is modern and nice. I loved the booth we sat it. The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. We left with happy stomachs. I will definitely eat here again

Very nice Korean restaurant in this neighborhood. Parking on Victoria dr. Is always a challenge. This stretch is in busier part of the Victoria. Food was good. Quick service. They took reservations and table was ready when we got there. Service was good. Adding side dishes upon request. Food came out fresh and hot. Chicken was yummy. Pork belly on the dry side. Seafood pancake was very good. Crunchy outside and soft and so much filling inside. Bibimbap stone bowl can be hotter. It didn't make crunchy rice bottom. But overall, all dishes very good. Will go back.

We ordered the seafood noodle soup, bibimbap, and fried chicken. The soup was better than I've had at many Korean restaurants, thick with a lot of seafood flavor. However, the fried chicken was pretty disappointing. I expected a bigger crunch and juicier meat on the inside. Overall, I'd say good except for fried chicken.

Glad we tried something new today. We have only been to a hand full of Korean restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised here by the service, servings and of course the food. Excellent overall, and we can't wait to come back to try more dishes from their Lunch Menu. Worth it!

We ordered the spicy pork with rice and the milky beef bone broth soup. The soup broth was very rich and satisfying. The pork was pretty good but nothing exceptional. The sides were nice and fresh. Overall above average.

Very homely korean restaurant. The seafood pancake was so crispy and thick, it was impressive. Lots of side dishes, Wang galbi was perfect. The service was very good, staff were attentive and also let us bring in a birthday cake. Easy 5 stars.
