Sunhee's Farm and Kitchen

Love it here! I’m never in Troy but I was today and this menu had my name on it. I easily found street parking within 1 block and was told to seat myself; hostess suggested the coziest spot. You order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I got the kimchi scallion pancake which was delicious but not too spicy. Also had the mandoo for $6?!?! So tasty and cheap. My lunch entree was the kimchi jjigae with pork belly and tofu. Cannot wait to return to have more of what I already ordered but also to try the other choices. Highly recommend!

Daughter brought us here...new food tastes for us. The proprietor was very patient as we figured out the menu. We shared kim chi, radish, bean sprouts and burdock root. Purple rice, Kimball rolls and scallion pancakes. We were told what was spicy...not bad for us as we like spice..the ddukbokki. Very good. Has some nice green tea to finish. Would definitely return to try other things. Looks like it has a bar at night

Cute Korean food restaurant in Troy! There's a little shop inside at the counter selling bowls, chopsticks, and Korean snacks. You place your food at the counter and your orders are brought to your table. We both ordered the seafood tofu stews and the mandoo appetizer to share. For some reason our orders took a long time. Others who came in after us got their orders before us too! The tofu stew was good but a bit disappointing in the lack of seafood in the dish. Seems like it was just dried seafood bits that were added to give the stew flavor. The Mandoo dumplings were fried and they came with a dumpling sauce. They were pretty good and we enjoyed those.

This is one of the great places in Troy, serving purple rice with their Korean dishes. Not a Korean BBQ, you would need to go to another place. They also have a presence at the Farmers Market but for the entire menu, you need to go to the restaurant. Restaurant does have a tiny bar and some parking, but it can get crowded.

The atmosphere was cute and the service was good. The food felt home cooked but elevated. Everything we had was delicious and well portioned;they did not skimp on the meat in my bulgogi bowl. I can't wait to go again!

This review rating is based on availability, not on authenticity. Great idea to offer some Korean grocery items while serving various Korean dishes. Service was great! Kind of a cute place. As for the food, the veggies with beef over rice and the tofu stew was very average, comparing to what we could get in NY and CA, but it is nice to at least be available here in Troy. Prices were a bit higher than expected. I also would like to suggest a lot less use of MSG!

Very flavorful and fresh ingredients. Best ambience to a perfect meal ! Authentic Korean experience with bar/store in restaurant type; have Korean snacks and merchandise for sale. A feast for the pallette and your eyes :) Attendants are very accommodating and answers your questions attentively !

Super cute in here! Will definitely be back and try much more of the menu. Got the house chicken rice bowl and kimbap rolls…they were okay! Great presentation though. Hoping I’ll find something I really love here in time.

Upstate NY have a great restaurant. Order at the counter, go sit and the food will be in front of you quickly. Very nice staff and great food. The place is cozy and warm. Beautiful for a date or catching up with friends. Try the date tea. Delicious

Delicious! Always fresh. There is a reason they have been around as long as they have been. Check them out.

I think a sign of a good restaurant is when you first walk into the establishment, and you are amazed by the ambience it gives. The entrance opens you up to a small quaint bar with calm Korean music lightly playing in the background. Parts of the restaurant feel more like a home than they do a store. I'm not sure if it's always like this, but there were nice lights lining the walls as though ready for the holidays. You order at the counter, and you get your own water. I ordered the bulgogi bowl and some pickled radish to contrast the meat flavor. I can immediately taste the quality in the meat that they serve. It tastes clean and flavorful. The pickled radish, too, was very good. It had a perfect balance: it wasn't too sour, and it wasn't too bitter. Awesome gem of a restaurant.

I went with my friend from Toy who thought this was a great Korean restaurant. Okay county mouse, I've got some news for you. While the food was perfectly fine, there are much better Korean restaurants. Korea? You ask. Well, sure, obviously Korea. Fun fact: I'm Korea, Korean restaurants are just called, "restaurants". No, I mean Koreatown in Manhattan (or probably anywhere) and in Fort Lee New Jersey to Mae a few. Pretty big drive from Troy you might be thinking. There is a train, try to sit on the side facing the river. It's lovely view. There's a castle! Incidentally Troy has some beautiful architecture. They filmed the Gikded Age there. But back to Sunhee. Cute gift shop. Bon hon plate had 4 bonchon items. Also not included which surprised me a little. Bi bim bap does not come with egg. This is madness. But a cute place nonetheless.

Passing through Troy at lunch time and decided to get a bite to eat. Looked up Sunhee's and the room seemed very nice from the photos on Yelp. We drove over and saw that it was a Korean restaurant, which made our tastebuds excited. We took a seat up front near the windows to take advantage of the sun spilling through. We dicided to split the Japchae, Bulgogi and the House chicken. All the dishes were wonderful (to eat as well as photograph)! The staff was also lovely and accommodating. We will return, for sure!

Came here for Valentine's Day dinner. They had a pre-set dinner option. $52 per person. It may sound expensive but it was well worth it! The food here if phenomenal. It was so tasty and everything hit all the right notes! The service was great with no issues. The overall ambiance of the place is super cool! I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a delicious meal! Will return.

The first time my husband and I came here was to help our friends who, at the time, looking into catering for their wedding events. They had found Sunhee's and wanted to try them before committing to asking for catering by them for their engagement party in July. We basically got everything on the menu and everything was incredible. I felt like I was served food made by a Korean Grandma or Grandpa. During our dining here, we lived in the Boston, MA area and ended up considering the move to Troy, NY due to cheaper rent and Sunhee's (we kind of expected the food to not be great). We moved to the area months later and now we are a Kimchi Klub member and go to Sunhee's at least once a month. It's our go to place to bring friends and family to visit. I just want to be their friends too 100000% recommend! Please go here! I'll go with you! It's amazing! (pictures from some of the times we have gone this year)

I am so glad I discovered this spot! The ambiance is so peaceful and the food is fresh and delicious. The staff is always so friendly, welcoming and helpful. I love enjoying the sunshine, flowers, and the Japchae noodles!

This is a super cute little spot in Troy. Didn't know they had a back patio! Kind of hard to get to but what an amazing use of space. They really made it feel unique and special. I had the bibimbap bowl with tofu. Lots of interesting flavors and textures. I love that they source a lot locally. The kimchi does have fish/shrimp but you can ask for their vegan version! The hot sauce was incredible. Only small complaint is that it's a bit expensive for me to go regularly, but enjoyed it a lot. It's not a ton of food for $17ish, I was able to eat the whole thing and not feel totally full.

Overpriced, and mediocre spot praying on people who dont know better. Spent 7 bucks on a can of beer and 16 dollars on "seafood" stew. Was promised calamari, mussels and shrimp and got 3 pieces of seafood the size of peas. You also get a "side" of kimchi the size of a disposable ketchup container with 2 pieces of kimchi. Save yourself the money and btw you're not gonna get a server.

I was in my old neighborhood and wanted Korean as always and wanted to try this place since the reviews. The ambiance was great, totally different when you enter a Korean restaurant. We were seated right away and given our menus. Our server was attentive and took care of demanding needs ( which came from my sisters lol). We ordered (see pics) very small amount of food given for each meal, not a lunch special for the day , but an ordinary order. Majority, of Korean restaurants gave you Banchan but if you wanted that it cost you extra $12 dollars. Nope, we didn't do that. The food was ok.

Very consistent. Delicious and cooked perfectly. Friendly and nice clean place for a meal or drink. Most of the time I order takeaway and appreciate the minimal amount of plastic packaging.

Where we live there's a large Korean population with Korean restaurants and shops and groceries and so we're very familiar with Korean food. I'm afraid this place, while good for Troy NY, doesn't measure up to what we're used to... at least for what we had - the chapjae and bibimbap- smallish portions, no traditional side dishes, although the metal utensils are very authentically Korean!

Found this gem while searching Korean food in Albany. It's a small yet cozy restaurant with limited menu options. Yet the food is the real deal. I love their kimbap roll and soft tofu stew. Only cons: limited parking spots. Recommend getting early for your meals. I'm going to try other options in the next visit.

What a cute place -but that is what you're paying for! The aesthetics, atmosphere and music are very easy on the eyes/ears. The food though, nothing special. The complimentary side dish (aka banchan) is sad - the amount was disappointing. When you think Korean cuisine, you think, "decent banchan", but not here! The amount of food for the rice bowl, also disappointing. Not worth the cost. Taste was nothing special. The non existence of seafood in the scallion pancakes was also very disappointing.

I've heard such great things about this restaurant so I decided to go for lunch today. One of co- workers said that sounds good and decided to join me. The restaurant is located in Downtown Troy and is within walking distance of our offices so we decided to walk over from the office. If you decide to drive there is street parking and they also have a parking lot they share with La Capital Tacos on Ferry Street. The menu is small but wonderful options. I had the Kimchi Fried Rice with a well done sunny side up egg. It was gluten free and had wonderful flavors of vegetables and bacon throughout each bite. The Kimchi was spicy and had a great flavor of chili powder, garlic, red peppers and something else I couldn't quite make out. They have indoor and outdoor dining. We ate outback in their seated courtyard. The staff were super friendly and we received excellent customer service. We will definitely be back!

Excellent service, delicious food and wonderful ambiance... we had a large hungry group of 25 and they provided us a private dinner in the backyard tent on short notice. Lovely spot for our team on a warm September evening. Just perfect all around, thank you very much!

New years soup broth, pickled sides, bibimbap were excellent. A few other things we tried (seafood pancake, fried dumplings) were fine but not memorable. Service was terse and rushed. Vibe is student friendly. Would definitely go back.

During COVID, Sunhee's has pivoted to take out and outdoor dining. They've got a tent out behind the restaurant with probably half a dozen tables. The food here is excellent. The menu is condensed to a handful of specialties. My chicken dish had a nice hint of spice although the purple/black rice could have used some seasoning. When I come again, I'll ask for spicier. Dishes are generally under $12 and max out at $14 so there's good value here. Overall, I'd highly recommend giving it a try.

Enjoyable. Order in line. Food so tasty. Ordered all sides and small plates. Then two entrees for three guys. Everything great. Masks appreciated not required.

Gotta support the small business! Its amazing how much Troy has diversified its cuisine in the last 10 years since my in-laws became my in-laws and I had to visit the area a ton. We came on a Thursday for lunch, the service was a little slow (we waited about 20 mins for 3 orders of food), but it seemed they were short staffed. Had the bulgolgi (super good and tender), the bibimbap (nicely served with a gooey egg and spicy sauce), Kimbap (always good, fresh, and clearly not something pre-made), and the kimchi fried rice (spicy, crunchy). Kimchi fried rice was the best thing, crunchy from the pan, spicy from kimchi, and meaty and gooey from the egg and crispy bits of meat.

I finally made it to Sunhee's Kitchen and was very pleasantly surprised. I heard it was great, and it was, but I didn't expect how fun it also was. Upon entering we were greeted by the bartender who was friendly and told us to grab any table available. We headed into the dining room, only to find a bunch of half full shared tables. Which can be fun if you don't mind a close quarters dinner with strangers (it's very NYC, I thought to myself). But being there were three of us, it wasn't going to work. So we bellied up to the bar. We received menus and ordered drinks. I felt daring, so I tried a cocktail made with Korean peach wine and it knocked my socks off. I should note that the bartender was thoughtful enough to not serve us until we came back from ordering our meals. So we picked up a candle and read through the menu items (the lighting was low, warm, and inviting, I'm just blind). We walked up to the order counter and were enchanted by all manner of adorable Korean pop toys, jarred kimchee, sweet snacks, and other cute things. I ordered the Kimchee Fried Rice, the Seafood Potato Pancakes, and the sampler of pickled sides. First, let me just say that the Kimchee Fried Rice was delicious. It had a sunny side up egg on top, chunks of bacon, and a hint of heat, but not too spicy. Because for me there's nothing worse than not being able to taste the various ingredients of my food. The potato pancakes were super yummy, though I personally didn't need the extra seafood in them, because the base flavor and texture had me gobbling them up. But the surprise star of my meal was the pickled radishes! Don't get me wrong, all the sides were good (Korean pickles, pickled soy beans, and 1000 year old Kimchee), but those radishes really blew me away, with the Kimchee coming in a close second. For dessert we had some yummy Mochi Ice Cream, and I kept nibbling on my pickled sides until we left. Overall, I loved Sunhee's Kitchen. The staff was great, the atmosphere was warm and friendly, the patrons were lively and fun, and the entire experience was a reminder of why people call Troy the "New Brooklyn".

Beautiful family owned business and delicious Korean food. I love the Kimchi, normally get it at the Troy Farmers Market on Saturday, or simply get it from the restaurant every tine I go.

Excellent food! Excellent owner. Sunhee's Farm and Kitchen is such a treasure and works for the betterment of all.

Not a bad place, not a great place but affordable food, without real table service- get in line, order your food and they find you. Outside dining is a crappy tent with unwatered plants and card tables. Food was acceptable and inexpensive. There is no real service as I mentioned, and ambiance is what you would expect before gentrification. I would expect the Troy college crowd loves this place. I'm not in college.

2 bibimbap. 1 scallion pancake. 1 seltzer. 1 wine served in a borderline shot glass. $70. With the bibimbap, you pay extra for everything, even the egg. I've eaten this EVERYWHERE, and I don't recall the egg being optional. The bibimbap was almost flavorless. The scallion pancake was also soggy and flavorless. The portions were tiny. A few hours after we left, we had to eat again. The staff was friendly. The place was cute. But our dislike of the place was just the entire package: flavor, portion size, etc. If it were free, our opinion would be the same: we wouldn't go back. Perhaps it was an off night. I have not a clue why this place is rated so high. I mentioned this to one of the workers and she apologized and said, "We source all our ingredients locally." That's good. I love supporting local. But how does that answer the comment of something being flavorless? If you don't want an honest answer, don't ask how something is. Of course, this was said in a friendly way to the staff, and she was friendly back...but that's just an odd response. Look, it's small and cute. It seems like a good place to go on a date or hang with friends. The food was just disappointing, at any price point. It was OK. I can't say that we'd ever return, but I'd, at the very least, recommend you try it. Maybe it was an off-night.

Such a cool, chill place with very flavorful food! Staff was very friendly! I will definitely go back!

I really wanted to like this place, but I left feeling vaguely dissatisfied. The server at the register was friendly and helpful. I ordered a kimchi stew. I found the portion rather small, and there was no banchan on the table. Perhaps I'm spoiled, being from Queens where Korean restaurants abound in east flushing, but I've never sat at a Korean restaurant and not had at least three little dishes placed on the table. My friend, who'd never had Korean food before enjoyed her beef Bulgogi. We each enjoyed a tea, she the burdock root, me the jujube. I would give it a 3.5 if I could. It wasn't bad, but I won't be rushing back.

There are so many new food options in Troy. This Korean dinner spot is quiet and quaint. Perfect for a quiet date, based in a romantic old house. Food is wonderful and fresh, short menu with quality offerings. Bus your own tables service. Food is made fresh so the four kids under 7 had to wait. We got them pens and journals from the little dry goods store. Recommend the bi bim bap, bulgogi, and the seafood scallion pancakes! Lots of mochi selections for dessert.

Great, hip, little spot. Fantastic Korean food. Everything was fresh. Great service, menu had a good variety. Good drinks.

I really enjoyed my meal.. I had house chicken and my partner had spicy pork. It was actually super tasty and flavorful. We also had kimchi for the first time and we loved it. We decided to try drinks (peach drink) it was lovely. The mandoo was also amazing. Loved the setting and how it looked inside, very welcoming.

Cute Kawaii place to go for a date in Troy for korean food.. nice staff with tasty food! Tofu stew is my favorite!

Gotta make this place at minimum a walk through. Merch includes stationary. Authentic food. Kind service. Comfy ambiance (dined at dusk.) Gluten free and vegan options indicated on menu. And save yourself the hassle on one way streets to find a parking spot. Walk a few blocks to get that first parking space.

The restaurant was small but cozy. However there is kids screaming nonstop and in a high pitch. You can barely hear anyone talking expect for the kid. While for $22 dollars you only get a bowl of vegetables and 3 pieces of meat where we paid $3 extra dollars for. Everything taste plain and for there is barely any flavor. No sauce was given and for the bulgogi has around 5 pieces of meat just on top of unflavored rice

The best part about Sunhee's is the ambiance. A surprising combination of intimacy, dim lighting, hipster vibes and sustainability enhances the experience of the eating quality Korean food in Troy. Sunhee's is one of the few restaurants I've found that has separate bins for compost, recycling and trash. Seafood Tofu stew with purple rice- love the purple rice because it has a crunchy texture similar to brown rice, which makes it perfect for mixing with hot liquid soup. The portion size is a bit on the smaller side for the price. Either a bigger portion of rice or another side option in addition to kimchi would make this meal more filling.

Late review as well. But wanted to give this place a review. Their soup was good. The kimbap was delicious and the scallion pancakes were good. The only disappointment here is that they dont give bonchon with your meal. You have to order it. Im used to having bonchon as part of the meal you order. Overall, it's a decent place to eat Korean food if you are in Troy.

I've been loving Sunhee's for the past three years and always get the house chicken rice bowl. Today, I ordered three bowls. They were significantly lower in quantity than usual - there was hardly any sauce or chicken and the chicken did not have a nice texture. For $13, it should be more than just a few pieces of rubbery chicken and a bunch of rice. Moreover, I've had this bowl dozens of times and the taste was not the same. I'm not sure what happened but hope this was just a fluke.

This place is perfect for a little cute and casual date, with cool lighting and a trendy ambiance. They also have a very cute shop full of Korean snacks and goods - I got my boyfriend a sweater from their shop and he loves it! The food is so good, and a perfect mix of comfort food while still feeling fairly healthy. The ingredients taste fresh, and it's served quickly (you order and pay at the front, and they bring you your food when it's ready, which makes it come out quickly.)

This is a quirky Korean farm to table restaurant in downtown Troy. My companion had bulgolgi and I had mamoo (dumplings) and soy bean salad. The only thing that wasn't great was that my mamoo didn't come until my companion had already finished his bulgolgi.

I always enjoy the food at Sunhee's, especially the Bibimbap (add beef and egg) and the Kimchi fried rice. If you are here for the experience definitely try the scallion pancakes. For kimchi lovers, I recommend you order extra house kimchi or buy a whole jar to use on your meal and/or take home. The ambiance is has both an urban and rustic/farmhouse vibe. It's a great spot for a low-key date night or an intimate setting to catch up with friends. The downside is that you order your meal food court style, but waitstaff will bring out your final order.

On my maiden visit to Sunhee's I ordered the bulgogi and japchae. The restaurant's decor is great and makes for a charming first impression. I'd think most folks with a larger appetite might leave a bit hungry after just an entree. Fortunately Sunhee's has a bunch of awesome appetizers too! A starter and an entree will run you around $20, which is reasonable but maybe a tad bit pricy. Partially my own fault for never checking a to-go order before I get home but my japchae did not end up with the extra tofu I ordered. I'm less upset about the dollar than I am about the fact that I didn't get to try their tofu! So, anyway, we're pretty deep in here and I should probably get to talking about the food? Both dishes were delicious. I especially enjoyed the flavor and textures of the japchae noodles and would happily eat them on a near daily basis. The noodles themselves had the texture of rice noodles with a faint hint of sweet potato, the mushrooms were spongy and earthy, while the onions added a nice crunch. I'll definitely be back!

We have known Miss Kim for awhile as we are very active in the Troy community. My husband finally asked to go and I obliged as I do love a good Jap Chae. We decided to dine in and let me tell you we were not disappointed. My husband has food allergies to mushrooms and they took great care to make sure his food was not contaminated. Beef Bulgogi and seafood Pancake were what we chose, and we loved it all. We also loved the fact that they had merch and Asian goods available to purchase as well. Fresh delicious and amazing presentation.

I highly recommend this restaurant. Very delicious food with big potion, authentic drinks and great ambiance! The service is very friendly.

I FINALLY made it to Sunhee's last night. I haven't been able to get out as much as I'd like in the last couple of months due to....you know...life getting in the way...so this meal was extra special. First...I have been craving authentic Korean food for a while. We have a friend that sometimes gives us homemade kimchi and seafood pancakes but we haven't seen her in ages. Plus, there's not an overflow of authentic Korean fare in the Cap Region area. Sunhee...I love you. I love everything about your restaurant - from the beautifully crafted wooden tables to the lovely layout of the bar area to the cool, hip background music to the sustainable self-disposal set up of dishes, plates, napkins and leftover food. I love that you have a property in Cambridge; approach your cooking as farm to table and your local community focus. And, of course, I love your food. I love the perfect kimchi, purple rice, bibimbap, seafood pancake, new year's soup and mandoo dumplings. We sampled all of that. I was dancing in my seat while I was eating...that meal was the highlight of my day. Please open another location in Saratoga? Well...even if you don't....I'll go out of my way to visit again.

Cool and comfy. Just what we needed after a busy day of shopping. Very cute spot. Food and market of goods. We sat down. Decided on our order. Go up and order and pay. Then they bring the food to you. Incredible kimchi. Loved it. Wish we were hungry but just had to stop by. Shared the Kimbap rolls. Needed a hot chili dip I thought. Tried the burdock, radish, and soybean salad. Very good. Also shared the kimchi Jjigae. Pork belly and tofu in kimchi base soup. I craved heat with all of our order. But it was very fresh and enjoyable !

Expensive for the quality. I notice that a lot of the positive reviews mention trying various Korean foods for the first time... that makes a lot of sense to me. Sunhee's has pretty good food, I guess, but... I know bebimbap. The dish available at Sunhee's tastes like a health food restaurant's personal spin on bebimbap. Same for a lot of their other dishes, although I was most excited for - and disappointed by - the bebimbap. The kimchi is mild verging on bland (at least as of March 2023- specifically requested the spiciest available). Which is fine, I guess, no harm done, but if you are looking for good Korean food I'm not sure this is the right restaurant for you.

Love this place! Their food is amazing!!! Menu is small, which i like. Bulgogi bowl is delicious with their purple rice. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Japchae noodles was amazing too! Not too sweet. The soft tofu stew with seafood was also amazing. Not too spicy, I was able to handle the spice. Kimbop is the best I've had. I totally recommend this place. They have a couple reserved parking for their customers right across the street. The place is so cute inside With farmhouse feel. The owner is so friendly. We order at the register and they'll bring your food out to you after. Everything is freshly made from scratch. Totally recommend!
