Decor
The walls were painted in a shade of lime green, perfectly matching our St. Patty's Day's outfits. The restaurant immediately gave us a nice and cozy atmosphere as there were many cute miniature figures around the room. There were about six tables that seated 4 to 6 people and two smaller tables on the side that only seated two.
Food
We almost instantly decide to order the Pork Bone Soup for two as this is usually the case at every Korean restaurant we go to (we're an old fashion couple). Just like every other Korean restaurant, they serve us six side dishes that includes japchae, bean sprouts, spicy pickled tofu and cucumbers, kimchi, pickled seaweed, and potatoes. I enjoyed the dishes that were not spicy the most as they had great flavours.
The pork bone soup hot pot came in a wok placed on top of a gas stove. We were not impressed by this dish. The meat on the pork bones were under seasoned and the soup was just spicy. It seemed like the soup was just chili powder mixed with water. It didn't seem salty nor loaded with MSG. Also, we expected that there would be korean rice cakes or mandu (Korea dumplings) included.
Service
When we arrived, we were the only customers and were greeted with a warm welcome. However, the restaurant filled up quickly as it supper time. They graciously refilled our sides when requested. We had to ask twice for our tea to be refilled but since the restaurant was packed at the time, we understand that they forgot as there were multiple requests.
Price
The pork bone soup (gamjatang) for two was $14.99 and with tax, it was $16.95. Note that Sunrise House only accepts cash.
Verdict
Sunrise House has 4 out of 5 stars on yelp. I expected more, especially as gamjatang is a staple Korean dish. We would not recommend coming here for the Pork Bone Soup.
