Sunhee’s is a story of immigration and sustainability that is creating a safe space for cultural learning and innovative projects, all threaded together by food. While their authentic Korean menu is not especially large, it offers a surprising selection of gluten free dishes.

Sunhee's sources from their own farm and other local distributors and farmers when possible, with a commitment to finding the best quality ingredients and products. Their project goes full circle as all scrap food from the restaurant goes straight back to the farm to be used as chicken feed and turned into compost.
