Best New Restaurants in Manhattan, NYC, July 2025, According to Eater NY | Eater NY
"Over the past couple of years, Sunny Lee has built a name for her Banchan by Sunny pop-ups. Sunn’s (a partnership with Grant Reynolds of Parcelle Wine) is her new wine bar serving dishes like tteokbokki with tomato-gochujang brown butter sauce topped with stracciatella and mozzarella cheese, served in a glass Pyrex dish: “Sunday baked ziti-style,” as she calls it. Banchan continues to be a focus, but there’s a lot more to the menu than just that. For those looking to get more vegetables in, this is the way to do it. In Lee’s hands, even dishes like the house salad are creative — and it’s even more impressive knowing she doesn’t have a full kitchen build-out. Reservations often book out, but there are limited walk-ins. Try your luck by heading there at the 5 p.m. opening time." - Emma Orlow
