Pre-covid prices, post-covid quality. Still the best grab-and-go lunch in town.

OUR HISTORY
From Seoul to America: Authentic Korean tradition
Born in Seoul, now bringing the same authentic flavors and innovation to the USA with our expanding presence in New York, New Jersey, and beyond.
Yumsem began in Seoul, South Korea, with a simple mission: to create a more joyful world through exceptional Korean dining culture. Founded by Kim Eun-kwang, our brand was built on the principle of 'mom's care' - using only the freshest ingredients with the love and attention of home cooking.
"Our motto '얌얘 샘날만큼 맛나' means 'so delicious you'll say yum yum every fresh day.' We bring the same passion for fresh, quality Korean food from our Seoul headquarters to every dish we serve across America."Yumsem USA TeamKorean Culinary Excellence
