Sun Chong impresses with its "amazing food," unique Asian fusion with a "Louisiana twist," and "excellent service." Guests rave about the "gumbo dumplings" and "crab Rangoon dip." The atmosphere is lively, but some find the music "too loud." Reservations are recommended for this "intimate" and popular spot.

This place should have a line out the door. It is some of the most amazing food I have ever had. The flavors and spices were perfect. If you have a love for Korean BBQ this is the place for you. The chicken wing appetizer, fried ribs, and bulgogi are to die for!

the food is solid, and imo as a korean, pretty authentic (kimchi dumplings were a standout). but it took over 30 minutes to get our drinks after multiple reminders. and the place is LOUD. if you’re in the mood for a party vibe, try it. service might have been an off night.

Came on a Wednesday night. Not too busy. Tables are pretty close together and music a touch above normal conversation level. Food is good but fried chicken is excellent

We waited for 50 minutes with 2 lemonade. Rhe food was very average, but the price is high. We would never go there again, for there are so many better restaurants around.

Rico stopped by our table to check on us even though he wasn't our waiter. He was awesome, and you can feel his passion for the food and drinks. Great experience!
