    Outpost of popular restaurant known for short rib plate. Came here with my parents on a Sunday around 6:30pm and there was no wait for a table. Free parking is available in the parking lot but it’s busy. Credit cards are accepted. Indoor dining available (no outdoor seating options). When you pay, they bring the payment machine to you. Service was fast and they have call buttons on the wall (though we didn’t use it). We got the Koh galbi jjim and added cheese and rice cakes (an additional $6 each). It’s $5 more for this plate for the oxtail, of which they gave us about 4 pieces. The medium was more than enough for us three plus leftovers. You have a choice or white or brown (purple) rice. You get three appetizers as well. It’s a good spot for come here for big groups, but they do have individual portion entrees as well. I think adding the cheese is a must-do; the rice cakes are optional, but we particularly enjoy tteobokki so we indulged.

    OPEN 24 hours! Great alternative to the typical Korean BBQ and tofu joints. This place serves piping hot soups and specializes in their oxtail and brisket soups. Great banchan as well. Will definitely go back. Midnight soup cravings satisfied.

    There’s always a wait here! They do check your vaccination cards before seating you so make sure you have those! the server was super nice. I was a bit hesitant with the spiciness level on the dish because I went to another Korean spot and their spicy was way too spicy.. equivalent to the fire noodle spice so I was afraid to pick their spicy.. but ended up with spicy not medium spicy! It was perfect. Because the server saw me hesitate over the spice level, he was super nice and said to let the guys in my group pick spicy instead of mild. If it was too spicy, he will give me a drink on him. Thank you btw! We got number 24! I was a bit disappointed because there were only 6 rice cakes in there…but their meat and flavor were all there! Can feed 3-4 people in my opinion! Definitely want to come back to try their soups! Also, your dish comes with rice! Purple or white. I appreciate restaurants who give the amount of bowls equivalent to the people at the table.

    Inviting environment and staff. Restaurant was clean and homey. My friends and i got the giant i forgot the name it was $90 but it fed the 4 probably could feed 5 pretty well. Sauce was flavorful and spicy. Meat was piled up. It's definitely a good hangover meal or if you want something decadent. Also the banchan seemed to be unlimited? I could be wrong but we got a second round of kimchi for free so.

    11/5/21 2nd visit. Order for togo. To go quality is also good as much as dining in. Servers are still nice even they are busy. I like this restaurant. —————— First, Price is heavy but the quality of the taste is covered everything. 2nd, It’s open until late night. You can grab some good quality food with dining in. 3, Service is really awesome. The only reason why i gave 4 stars is the price is high. But no regrets. It’s really good place.

    Have visited three different Sun Nong Dan restaurants; all have very stable food quality and the same taste. This location is not as crowded as the ones in Ktown, but there might still be some waits. #23 (dish name: Tong Ma Neul Yang Gopchang Bok Geum) is very good; all our friends loved it!

    Galbi Jjim is the dish that we ordered and Teuk sulung tang. Hands down, galbi jjim is the highlights and the main dish. You have to add the cheese as the add-on. The 🥕 were so soft that my picky daughters eat them without complaints. The rice cake is soft and chewy at the same time. WE cant discount the short rib. They were well cooked, sweet savory.👨‍🍳 💋

    It's been raining a lot lately, so we ordered Mo Deum Soo Yook and ate it. This food is one of the best Korean foods to protect energy. The meat and tail meat are the best of the best. Side dishes and Korean kimchi taste great There is a reason why restaurants have a lot of customers.

    Gio was an amazing host. It was our first time and we basically asked him to curate the experience. We got the combo (beef and pork), good value. A small serves 1-2 people and a large 3-4. If you do a meat specialty (beef only or pork only) it’s a little less volume but more in choice variety (1 more beef or pork choice). Amazing sides (the white radish was a personal favorite), which are free to replenish (just not the grilled meats). The host grills the meat for you and they are attentive. We also got a beer to share (they have 4 types/ we were recommended the cass with our combo - an amazing paring). Gio took a break and the stand- in grilled amazing as well (so sorry we don’t remember your name!) excuse the half eaten table photo. The grill is in the middle, and the exhaust does a really good job to extract the smoke. Would go again and really happy we ended up choosing this place.

    Love this place. We came for lunch and Service was very quick. We got the large Galbi jjim with oxtail and also ordered a rice cake soup. Great for a cool day!!

  • 5/5 Peng T. 9 months ago on Google
    Alright, everyone orders #24 Galbi Jjim - yes, superb delicious! Braised short rib and back rib are so well-prepared! Recommended to add cheese for a much completed taste! The meats are mixed well with those Banchan provided with unlimited refills. The portion is great for 3-4 person easily. Ya, open 24hr non-stop. A great spot even during midnight.

    Sun Nog Dan has become our favorite Korean restaurant, and for good reason. The experience is consistently outstanding, making it one of the best Korean dining spots we’ve had the pleasure of visiting. The highlight of our recent visit was the Galbi Jjim, which was an absolute sensation. The flavors were exceptional, and the tender, succulent meat practically melted in our mouths. It was undeniably fire! What truly sets Sun Nog Dan apart is not just the remarkable food but also the ambiance and service. The restaurant’s atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff is attentive and knowledgeable, always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions. Whether you’re a Korean food enthusiast or trying it for the first time, Sun Nog Dan is the place to go. The menu offers a diverse selection, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings. In summary, Sun Nog Dan has consistently impressed us with its exquisite Korean cuisine, outstanding service, and cozy atmosphere. The Galbi Jjim was a true highlight, and we can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It has undoubtedly secured its place as our go-to Korean dining destination.

    I often come here to eat beef soup, and I choose "special beef rib soup" every time. The quality of the beef is very good, and the soup base is also very mellow. I like it very much.

    Came here on a Sunday night. Very friendly staff, good service and good portion for food. The meat quality was good and definitely loved the spicy radish and pickled onions for the sides

    It was like finding an oasis in the desert. As every time in the early morning on Sunday, I happened to find a Korean restaurant while thinking about what to eat. A Korean restaurant open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, which is somewhat unfamiliar in the United States. First of all, the taste is authentic and it's a restaurant with clean atmosphere and hygiene also very kind service was. In Korea, there are many 24-hour restaurants that you can eat when you drink late with your friends or go out early in the morning, so I could feel a lot of Korean. The time I visited the transplant party was 7 o'clock in the morning. How many restaurants can I eat with soup at that time? If you want to know the taste of Korea and Korean culture, I recommend you to visit. I ate seolleongtang and yukgaejang in the popular breakfast that Koreans enjoyed, but the other food also looked delicious. The price of the breakfast special menu is $11.99. I recommend you to go here instead of the fast food restaurant breakfast menu. if you don't have any objection to Asian culture. I hope you can feel how comfortable it is if you put warm soup in your stomach.

    Came around midnight and there were a decent amount of people in but we were seated right away. The food was amazing. Side dishes were so tasty! We got the Galbi Jjim with cheese and rice cakes and it was perfect! We split it with 4 people and it was more than enough food for us. Would highly recommend!

    Good quality food, portions, and service. I dined alone and they took care of me the same way as they would a group. I love that they are open early. Very clean and cute dining area. Staff members are very kind and hospitable.

    If you didn’t go to Sun Nong Dan during your visit to LA, did you really go to LA? Great price, and great portion. Most importantly, the TASTEE!!! Also, it opens until late at night. You gotta give it a try.

  • 5/5 YL X. 1 year ago on Google
    Outstanding service. Order Braised Beef Short Rib & Back Rib (Galbi Jjim). Happy meal! I’m seeing myself coming back. Left around 745pm it started to get a long line.

  • 3/5 Melvyn sutiono (. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best Galbi Jjim in California. Price on the higher-end side but worth the money. Make sure to come with at least 3 person to order the galbi jjim. Huge serving and made to order. Dedicated parking space in front of the restaurant. Staff were helpful but not friendly in any way. Lack of banchan selection, kimchi wasn't strong enough for our party. On our last visit the galbi jjim was not spicy nor flavorful enough despite ordering our usual spiciness level. Clean restroom, lots of seating, good food.

  • 3/5 Ken T. 2 years ago on Google
    Make sure to order #10 if you ever consider #1. #1 has very little content. 10 is stuff. Same soup, for a few bucks more, better deal and experience. Kimchi was good. Have to say had better elsewhere. Went just after the breakfast special, yeah, they have a breakfast special, and beat the crowd. Under staff for what they serve, their specialty takes a long time to arrive. So as soon as you sit down before the wait person leaves you(he will not come back for a while) order right the way. Cheese is extra $6 btw.
