Ming isn't a server--he's an experience. I've eaten at restaurants all over the world, and I've never had service remotely close to this. Before I even realized I needed something, Ming was already there. I'm convinced he can see the future. The food was amazing, but Ming somehow outshined it. Give this man a raise, a promotion, and ownership of the restaurant. I came for Sun Nong Dan. I'll come back for Ming. read more

Great service and great taste! A special thank you to our waitress, YH. She is always so kind, attentive, and welcoming. Every time we visit, she makes sure we have everything we need before we even have to ask, which makes our dining experience so enjoyable. The food, the service, and the cleanliness are consistently excellent. We leave satisfied every single time. Thank you, YH, for your outstanding hospitality! We will definitely keep coming back. read more

My boyfriend and I visited here on a hot day, but I've always loved sul lung tang and wanted to try the real deal. We got seated right away in the corner, and I enjoyed the fact that they gave hot tea and the spoons were easy to reach and seemed clean. We got the Chadol Sulung Tang & Yang Ji Sulung Tang, and I was pleasantly surprised that the portions were massive. The meat in the Yang Ji one was lean and chewy, but I loved the Chadol meat because it was a lot more tender and plentiful. The noodles are perfect texture, and it takes a lot more salt + green onions than you think to flavor the soup. It's super hot, hearty, but clean tasting. I definitely think this place has the best kimchi I've ever had at a Korean restaurant. I seriously kept eating and got a refill as well. I even had enough soup leftovers for basically a whole other portion! The only reason why it's not 5 stars is the service. I don't care too much about overly friendly service or constant check ins, but the server walked away in the middle of ordering initially, without even asking my boyfriend what he was going to order. He did not appear again after dropping off our food, even after we had finished our meals and had our leftovers packaged ourselves for 10 minutes sitting there. I knew that they were generally busy, but I saw them glance over at us a few times already. Nevertheless, still the best sul lung tang I've had and maybe will be back at 4 am. read more

We tried the their specialty, Galbi Jim (without the cheese) at mild level. The dish is shared between 6 of us and it comes with 3 bowls of rice (we chose the brown rice). We added mandu as our appetizer. The Galbi Jim was delicious, the marinated prime ribs were very tender, cooked with potatoes, green onions, carrots, onions, and rice cake sticks. Our server was pleasant and quick. Definitely will come back next time we're in LA! read more

Sun Nong Dan - Galbijim - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

One of the biggest draws is that they're open 24/7, which is surprisingly hard to find these days. I'll definitely be back to see what the late-night crowd is like. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. We ordered the Mo Deum Soo Yook (assorted boiled pork), and it was excellent. The variety of cuts kept every bite interesting, and the portion was generous enough to comfortably feed four adults. It's the perfect dish to pair with a few bottles of soju. I found that adding a little salt and pepper really brought out the flavors, and the broth became richer and more satisfying as the meal went on. The quality, generous portions, and round-the-clock hours make this a spot that's easy to recommend. The 24/7 availability is a huge bonus, especially when you're craving comforting Korean food at odd hours. read more

I had lunch here with coworkers the other day and the experience was pretty good. We had a table of 8 and didn't need to wait to be seated. Surprising consisting it was the lunch rush. It was my first time here so I tried the Seok Uh Sulung Tang soup as it was recommended by one of my coworkers. They served it with a side of purple rice and quite a number of banchan side dishes. You do get served water in paper cups though. The soup was ok. If you like tonkotsu broth, it's similar; slightly different flavor profile, but close enough. I would recommend adding little scoops of the salt until it has the flavor you like. Also, add in the green onions as that's a nice addition to the broth. You will find glass noodles at the bottom of the bowl with cuts of beef tendon and brisket on top. It's a hearty soup but I think there are definitely better options on the menu. Would I recommend this place? Yes, as the soup was decent, service was good, and I noticed quite a few dishes that I would have ordered if it was dinner. read more

First time here, it was so good! My new favorite spot for Chadol Sulung Tang! Loved all the side dishes and soup. I'll definitely be back, although I drove 40 min to come here, it was worth it.

Been wanting to come back since theres no galbijjim places near us in sac. Came around 6:30 on monday, was busy but once our whole party was here we got seated. Ordered the same thing, 2 large galbijjim (115$) both mild level. Mild level was not spicy imo, the squid side dish was spicier than mild lol, still good flavoring. Service was honestly not that great, they are quite busy but when we needed things we needed to wave them down every time and they never check on us without us waving them down. read more

This is 5 Star KoreanThe service here is always satisfying every time I visit, and I've never once had a bad experience with the servers. The food is beyond delicious, so I always order extra to-go when I go there (since it's pretty far from my house). Of course, there are places selling the same food near my home, but I make sure to drive a little further just to eat here. The quality is simply on another level. The side dishes are so tasty, and the meat is excellent.I noticed that non-Korean customers always order the Galbi-jjim (braised short ribs), but I always get the Seolleongtang (ox bone soup). When I'm starving, I order extra meat, and if there are leftovers, I just pack them up. The parking lot is quite spacious. However, there are stairs, so it might be a bit difficult to get inside if you use a wheelchair. If you are craving Seolleongtang, Yukgaejang (spicy beef soup), or authentic Korean food, I highly recommend this place!Today, I bought the Seokkeo-Seolleongtang (mixed bone soup), which is packed with nutrients from boiling the bones, hoping it will help my daughter's fractured ankle heal faster. I also got the Yukgaejang to give her a little spicy boost of energy! Did you know this place is open 24/7? It is seriously the best! soup place that approved by Korean. read more

Came here craving some solid Korean comfort food and wasn't disappointed. Ordered the Galbi Jjim with cheese (medium size) and a bowl of Seolleongtang. The Galbi Jjim was packed with tender short ribs, and the blowtorched cheese on top made it even better. Portions are generous -- easily shared between two people. The ox bone soup was clean, rich, and comforting, exactly what I wanted. Banchan was solid, service was quick and friendly even though the place was busy. Good spot for late-night or anytime you need something hearty. Will definitely be back. read more

Sun Nong Dan - Purple rice - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Sun Nong Dan is a great place for your late night cravings or hang over meal. Open 24 hours so always available. I've been to their other locations and they're all consistent in their service and quality of food. A good amount of seating, but I have been here when there's a wait. Late night eating is usually not a problem. Get their broths or stews, can't go wrong with either. Our usual is the #3 soup and the Galbi Jjim. You can get the Galbi Jjim with cheese - which is quite a show. I prefer it without. The medium size is good enough for 4 people. You can choose spice level and we get medium - it has good flavor and spice, but not too spicy where you can't enjoy. Sun Nong Dan is a solid place and worth adding to your list of places to eat. read more

Sun Nong Dan - Tripe + small intestine. Very good, super big portion. - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I've been going to Sun Nong Dan for years. Although I've been to all of their locations, I almost always frequent this one due to proximity. As far as Korean soups go, this place is great. I enjoy the side dishes, and I actually enjoy the fact that I get just a few but they're all good. The radish is my favorite! This spot is generally no frills, efficient service, and not too crazy of a wait. Service is generally quick and attentive, but they're straight to the point and aren't looking to idly chat. I'm a fan of that, personally, so it works well for me. For a solo eat, or a large group, this is a solid spot. The flavors are there and the fact that it's 24/7 is extremely convenient. read more

A must go when me and my family come down to SoCal, we go to diff locations depending on which one we're closest to. I usually save my stomach for the Galbi Jjim but my family devoured the side dishes. The service was pretty quick but it did take a while for the Galbi Jjim to arrive (although thay might have just been because I was hungry) and the servers were really nice. Ambiance wise it was loud but not loud enough that you couldn't hold a conversation with other people. read more

Sun Nong Dan - Large Galbi Jjim With Cheese And Extra Galbi - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Sun Nong Dan is definitely not overhyped. There's a reason why this place is always packed and why the wait can easily hit an hour or more. If you're planning for dinner, best advice is to get there before 6 PM. Otherwise, don't be surprised if you end up eating after 7 because they don't take reservations, only a waiting list. Their famous Galbi Jjim (braised beef short rib) is an absolute must-order. Tender, flavorful, rich, and worth every bit of the hype. My family also ordered the assorted cuts of beef plate, and that was amazingly good too. Everything came out hot, hearty, and satisfying. Overall, we all left full, happy, and already talking about coming back again. Definitely worth the wait. read more

Came here with a group of friends after a long weekend. I expected this to be similar to BCD tofu, but it was not the same. Their portions of soup were very large. And their Galbi Jjim was very large and tasty with the melted cheese and sauce intermixing. The service was speedy despite that we had a party of 12. I would definitely split the pile of meat with friends next time! read more

Sun Nong Dan - Galbi Jjim - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Came for dinner with my friends and I. It took a while for someone to acknowledge us and take our order but it was a Friday night so it was pretty busy. This is my first time trying sun bong dan despite all the hype around it I did not enjoy it . I've had other galbi jjims at other Korean restaurants in ktown and OC and they were so much better. I will say that their rice cakes were really good and chewy but why does it cost so much just to add cheese on top. In addition the galbi jjim was not tender at all. I think it wasn't ready to be served and needed to be braised longer since it was a jaw work out trying to chew through the tendon. For the premium price I was expecting high quality beef but it also seems that they use less premium beef ribs. Instead of sun nong Dan I would check out other Korean restaurants that definitely have better galbi Jjim. I do appreciate that they're open 24/7. read more

Delicious food! The sides were so good my friend and I almost finished them before the meal came. We got the galbi jim with cheese and they torched it right by the table. Everything was so full of flavor and hot when it arrived. The medium size is definitely enough for 2 people maybe even 3-4. We had enough leftovers to last another day or 2. The service was quick when it came to seating and ordering. One thing I didn't like was when it came to paying there was no clarification on if we wanted to half it or pay in full and the server had brought the card reader immediately and placed it in front of me while standing there waiting and watching the tip amount. Don't love when places do that. While the food was good they didn't check on us throughout the meal, which can be fine, however we had to ask for sodas mid meal. While the restaurant was busy it wasn't loud to where it created a difficult time of conversing between groups. I would say the check in service needs to be worked on because there had been a group in front of us that stated their party number and didn't move so we were waiting for a bit just for seating. Otherwise would go here again for the food. read more

She got the brisket with dried cabbage because you know she want the quality m**t. Got me the oxtail cause you know I like to get a lil freaky when I'm down to the bone. Who the hell am I smh. Also soju is 14/15 for flavored Meaty and just ever so slightly a lil too murky for my taste. That said, when you dip that succulent m**t into absolutely anything or with your assorted accoutrements... Honey, you'll feel like ratatouille when he mixes the lime with the coconut and shakes it all up (but with b**f and bonchan). Is it the best? Maybe not. But is it the most reliable any m ANY GIVEN HOUR OF ANY GIVEN DAY FOR ANY OF THE 24HRS OF. ANY. DAY. I rest my case. PS please dip your m**t in every bonchan sauce (sabao) available you'll thank me later read more

Our kids decided for this place for dinner while in So Cal. I would say it was delicious, the presentation of the food was beautiful. There was 6 of us and we ordered the XL (pictured) and I also wanted the Beef cheek soup as I didn't want rice. Between the 6 of us, we couldn't not finish it and for the price, it was reasonable. We went there around 7 on a Friday night and it was not busy, we got a table right away. It does get loud but we are still able to hear each other. I would come back again and totally recommend this place. read more

Love Sun Nong Dan, both the Rowland Heights and San Gabriel location. The food is always so yummy here and I love both their soups and galbi platters. 4.5 stars from me. This location is located in a plaza with several other businesses so its usually always packed with people. Parking may be a little difficult but the food is worth it. There was little to no wait and my party of 4 was seated quickly. It took a little bit to get some service as the place was packed on a Thursday night but we ordered right when the waiter came. The food took around 10-15 mins to come which wasn't too bad but I was definitely getting hangry after a long day lol. But the galbi was so plentiful, tender and delicious. The potatoes were also really soft and tasty. The sauce tasted perfect with the rice and although the food was a little greasy and definitely needed to be eaten with water, it was still so delicious. We also got cheese with ours that they melted with a blowtorch in front of us which was fun. I brought a friend who was a first timer and she loved it and even wanted to bring her family who was from out of town here. It is a little expensive at $100+ after tip and tax, but there was also plenty of leftovers for the four of us that we took home which I was able to eat a second helping the next day. I wish the service was a little better as I would've liked more water multiple times and napkins. Nonetheless, food was delicious and I can't wait to come back again and try a soup as well. read more

First time trying this place out and my friend recommended the short ribs!! Amazing and thank you Samson for the amazing service!

Parking: Easy, open, free I came here with a party of 4 adults and two kids. We ordered the dumpling rice cake soup (kind of a disappointment cause it only came with 3 dumplings), the brisket with soup, and the galbijim. For all of us, it was about $250ish. The galbi jim was so good. We added the $8 worth of cheese and it really added to the dish. I really enjoyed this with the rice and the generous banchan. As for the brisket, it paled in comparison to the galbi jim. I think there was an order you eat it in and I ate incorrectly. I ate a small portion of leftovers the next day and I thought it was good but not something I would order again. All in all, I would come back but I think I would avoid a few dishes. read more

Sun Nong Dan - Menu - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Sun Nong Dan is iconic and amazing! They are known for their galbi-jjim which is well worth the price! We got the large deluxe version or Koh version that comes with the oxtail + the cheese add on. Next time, I would order just the regular version because the galbi meat is my favorite but it was fun to have the variety of meats in the dish! The best part are the potatoes soaking up the sauce! The service was great and everyone was very kind! They did the cheese melting show for us, but overall they were very attentive and communicative throughout the meal! When we went, it wasn't too busy so we were seated immediately on a Sunday night! The inside is huge as well and the vibes are lively! There is plenty of parking spots too as it's situated in a large plaza! Definitely recommend having Sun Nong Dan once in your life!! read more
