    Sun Nong Dan in Rowland Heights is one of my go-to spots when I'm craving Korean food! I LOVE their Galbi Tang and Galbijjim. Both are so delicious, and the Galbijjim is perfect for sharing. The meat is incredibly tender, and I love that you can adjust the spice level to your liking. Definitely get the purple rice on the side too! And their sauce is SOOOO GOOD--I could honestly eat it with everything. The service is okay--not the worst, but definitely nothing that really stands out. I mainly come back for the food because it's that good! Definitely worth trying if you're in Rowland Heights and craving Korean comfort food.

    Oh man, this place is incredible! I've always loved K-BBQ, but honestly, they serve the absolute best galbi tang I've ever had. The broth is so flavorful and comforting. ​We ordered a platter to share, and the portion size was huge. There were so many of us, but we still left completely stuffed and couldn't even finish all the meat. Plus, melted cheese on top of the beef? Absolutely insane. Can't wait to come back! Service great! And nice ambiance too.

    Didn't have to wait for. Table on a weekday around 9pm and got seated right away. The galbi jim does take a while so order it first thing!! We also got the ox tail soup and a side of mandu. The dumplings were really good. The meat inside was seasoned nicely. The soup was a little bland but tasted healthy! We ordered a large serving of the galbi jim but prob could've gone by with a small. We had a party of four adults. We added cheese and the fire display was awesome. Portion was huge and it had a nice assortment of veggies, rice cake, slices of short rib and pieces of bone in rib too. Definitely worth trying and also 24hrs is so good for jet lag meals etc.

    It was busy when we got here but we were seated quickly. The Ambiance was loud but not crazy. We ordered the Galbi Jjim and man it was amazing. we had jt with the extra rice cake and cheese on top. you get a fire show for free when they melt the cheese! it was enough food for 4 people. ill definitely come back and ill come back hungry!

    This location never misses. Come after a long night, come drunk, come hungry. The warm lighting at this location is a nice reprieve compared to the hospital whites of their San Gabriel location. The food at Sun Nong Dan is consistent at every location though! Hot soup, tender meat, great options for everyone in your party. Service is nothing to write home about, but to be expected.

    My husband and I came in to try the breakfast special. We got #4 Ox Knee Soup. We love it that you can add your own salt to taste. Everything was delicious. Service is fine. Plenty of tables to sit. I would come back to try other dishes.

    It's so delicious that there's a wait even at 2 AM! I brought a non-Korean friend here, and he absolutely loved it. The servers are very friendly, and the restaurant is clean.

    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.

    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.

    This is only SOME of what i skimmed out.
    Joy L.

    Quality has gone down significantly. First they didnt bring all 3 sides, the chives were missing. When asked about it instead of being honest and saying they ran out, they gave some bs reason about it not being in season and said the owner decided to pull chives off the menu. Fyi chives are in season spring thru fall. Ordered yukgaejang and it was oily af. All the times ive been here its never been so oily before. Attached is only SOME of the fat i skimmed from my soup. And also the beef wasnt consistent, it was tough and apparently whoever prepared this decided to cut the tough, dry meat into strips. The previous time i came i ordered sulungtang and it was also greasy af. I pay the same price every time i come and i expect the food to be of same quality. This visit was disappointing.

    Seok Uh Sulung Tang
    Nguyen P.

    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.

    I love the food here! So warm and cozy. The galbi jim is my favorite to share with friends! The sun nong dan interior here is super nice and clean! Customer service is good.

    #4  Tong Do Ga Ni Tang

    Was going to order breakfast for myself, but bossman wanted a breakfast set too. I got the #4 Ox Knee Soup and they ordered the #12 Dried Cabbage and Beef Soup. Ordered over the phone for both. The online order website refreshed to Uber Eats and that was a little too confusing for me. Sorry I'm getting old. It was a nice drive to their Rowland location. Usually that plaza is packed. In the early morning it's very quiet. They already had customers dining in and waiting for their orders outside. The server that helped us was very nice especially when I made a money blunder. Still embarrassed about that. Thankfully I had the full amount. Bad news....found out I've misplaced a big bill denomination. I'm hoping it's somewhere else in the house or car. They packaged it very well! I asked them to put it into separate bags to make the delivery easier. I didn't know they would provide side dishes for both orders. I was expecting just one since it was on the same bill. Everything was stable and nothing spilled. Even when one of the soy sauce side dishes went sideways during transit! Very minimal clean up (few droplets). Those Togo containers they use are transit friendly. The #4 set was still warm by the time I got back. Thermometer clocked it in at 125 degrees. It also came with a little container of salt and young leek to change it to your liking. Glass noodle portion went to the little youngster. Wished it was portioned a little bigger but for $13.99 + tax this was a great deal. The flavor was muted. Until we added more salt and young leek to taste. Very happy with the order and would like to return for another weekend breakfast. Bonus points for aligning the tab on the lid with the tab of the container. The SG location faced them in opposite directions and that was a total pain to safely open. I didn't want to bother my boss after the delivery so no idea if the #12 was any good. Opportunity for round #2? Included banchan of soy marinated onions and chili, kimchi, and Korean radish. Small containers to enhance flavor of soup: young leek, kosher salt (?), and black pepper. I originally thought it was spring onions but the other diners were adamant it did not have the correct texture or aroma of spring onions. So....it's either one of the two.

Maybe the staff have gone nose blind to the smell...

It's simple and quiet in there, with minimal decor but enough tables and chairs to fit a few different sized groups. Service was average to me, if not a little below that; they serve your food and leave you alone. I don't think the older gentleman came over at all due in our meal except to drop off food, and I had to go up to ask for additional utensils and later, pay for the food. Food (4/5): Honestly, the food was pretty on point. The jook (porridge) came out piping hot and much larger in size than expected, but that explains the higher price point, although not everyone may feel it's justified. I'm used to getting jook from their other Buena Park location to go for sick days, but eating it fresh was so much better. Kids loved it and got several servings. We also got the yukgaejang, which was the perfect amount of spice and a good amount to share if you're not particularly hungry. It had chewy, medium thick vermicelli noodles, came with a bowl of rice and the usual helpings of greens and meat. Restroom was clean, although the soap was strangely watery/watered down. Would we come again? This makes for a tasty and quick meal in the area, so it'd be a decent place to meet up to eat or eat with the fam if you're looking for good Korean comfort food. They also serve a variety of other things like ginseng chicken soup and bibimbap varieties.

For our dinner, we got the: 1) Yumso Tang: -This is their hot and spicy goat soup. - I don't usually get this protein and soup base, but I wasn't the one that ordered. It is a hearty, very strongly goat flavored soup with lots of goat meat inside. -It's no spicier than a Shin Ramyun, so no worries about that, but quite flavorful and has a decent amount of leeks and other veggies inside. Definitely goes great with rice. 2) Soondae Jupsi: -Korean pork sausage plate. -This is a very generous amount of Korean blood pork sausage with some offal to the side too. I can sort of eat the blood sausage okay with the vinegar and salt combo, but need rice with it. And I'm not a fan of the offal pieces after. I was treated out, so I can't complain. Not the biggest fans of what was ordered, but I'm sure it's good for those who enjoy these dishes naturally. It also came with banchan and the purple Korean rice (my fav).
