My friends and I had dinner here and we were greeted by our server Alex. He was an amazing server all around. He was funny, polite and super attentive. He made us feel welcome right away, gave great recommendations, and stayed on top of everything without us having to ask. Request for Alex the next time you guys come! read more

Still a regular here but usually late night/early morning with Vic and Cenna taking care of us. This time, however, my work group decided to meet here for our team lunch on Friday coming from as far as the valley and Orange County. Luckily, Alex who usually works nights, happened to be pulled in for lunch and he took phenomenal care of us. We had seven people and the place was half full with only a few servers and he didn't miss a beat. We shared a galbijjim and everyone got a variety of individual soups. It was a hit with everyone and they were all very content with the casual atmosphere and the belly satisfying food and flavors. Per usual, quality, taste, portions, and service are all top notch. We're never disappointed when we come here and it was the perfect spot to entertain our group. Shout out to the usual band of wonderful staff. read more

Mini company event brought me here on a lunch on a Friday and this place continues to not disappoint. We ordered the galbi jim with extra rice cakes and cheese and 7 individual soup orders along with some dumplings. Personally a regular, now the co-workers were all new and never been here before are already talking about coming back lol. Galbi Jim - still amazing, ordered at level one spice, groundbreaking portion as usual and everything was fresh, tender, and bursting with flavor. I personally ordered the Teuk Galbi something soup and with a bit of sesame sauce and salt was a meal in itself. Soup broth is just right hiding the rice noodles, an assortment of onions and tender mouthwatering slabs of rib. The ambiance in here is lively and moderately loud when it's a full house. Ample seating - never have to wait too long and tons of parking. Our server that greeted and took care of us was Alex this run. Alex treated our group like VIPs and just earn this place 5 new regulars as my group was expressing regret not coming here sooner. Alex made the entire experience smooth like a mini vacation rather than just any old restaurant. Will be coming back for lunch also from now on. Other mentions of insane service include Vic ultra friendly and knows exactly what I'm going to order now - my favorite insomnia visits, Ted, Senna(sp?), and Wang. All of them remember us, give us the VIP treatment turning this restaurant into something I look forward to. What's crazy is I see them taking care of everyone around us with equal passion. Benchmark breaking service. Continue to highly recommend this place and yes it's really 24 hours! read more

I've been to sun nong dan a few times and I really enjoy it! This most recent time, we got the galbi jjim with cheese on top - so good! It's so yummy with purple or white rice. It's definitely comfort food and makes me feel so warm and cozy eating it. I highly recommend it on a cold day especially. I loved the potatoes, carrots, rice cakes as well as the ribs of course. Also very cool They also give you side dishes to enjoy, unfortunately I didn't get any photos but there were a few things..I liked the kimchi! Service was great. I feel like the galbi jjim took awhile to serve, but that's understandable. They cut off the meat for you as well as torch the galbi jjim which is a great photo/video op time! There are also some lollipops if you want a dessert - my niece and nephew love this part haha. Ambiance is open spacing and lots of seating. It's definitely more casual than fancy, but a good place if you've been dating for awhile or to catch up with a friend. You can definitely have a large party here and since it's open 24 hours it's great for late nights! read more

Sun Nong Dan - I believe this is the galbi jjim with cheese - Korean Near Me - San Gabriel, California

Every time we drive down from the Bay Area to LA, this is the first stop. The galbitang broth is crystal clear but don't let that fool you, the beef flavor is deep and serious, the kind that only comes from hours of proper cooking. They serve the beef two ways, sliced and on the bone, which makes the whole bowl a multisensory experience. We always build it with purple rice, goji berries, and mushrooms, then drag everything through the dipping sauce with fresh onions and peppers. Generous portions and great value. Service is hit or miss depending on how busy they are, and when it's packed the place gets loud and chaotic, bright lights and wall to wall tables. But open 24/7 means you can always find a quieter window. A family staple every time we hit LA.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Came here 11:30pm after a movie, one of few places other than Denny's that were still open. (Even the good ol' 24-hour ABC Cafe in MPk closes at 1:00am now.) Ordered #8 Galbi Tang (beef rib and brisket soup). The clear broth is excellent and comes with glass noodle. The banchans are some of the best I've had -- cabbage kimchee, radish kimchee, and green chive kimchee (my fave!) The only con is the tough beef ribs. Loved the tender brisket slices. read more

02/14/26 Saturday We called to order before 10:30 AM and go there around 10:28 AM. Order was ready by the time we arrived. We paid when we picked up. #13 Yuk Gae Jang was kinda oily and pretty spicy. Still tasty. Umami packed. I diluted it a bit at home by adding more meat and veggies. #4 Do Ga Ni Tang - the meat was a little rancid and some chunks were very tough. It's like they used old cooked meat and reheated it for me + some cuts not long enough cooking time. The creamy broth was still consistent and delicious though. Very jiggly when chilled so we know it's full of collagen! Surprised and happy they haven't raised the prices for their breakfast special. Still $11.99 + $1 for takeout. The only downside to takeout is that you can't get refills on your sides. read more

Open 24 hours! Great for late night meals and get together with friends. Can get busy at times but they move things along pretty well. Service is friendly and efficient. Good size restaurant and seating area, despite being busy at times. Their food is delicious. You can order for yourself, such as the tang broths or share a Galbi Jjim with your party. A lot of parties get it with the cheese on top of their Galbi - definitely Instagram worthy when they pull out the flame blower. Personally think it tastes great without, but you can't go wrong either way. One of the few places that open 24 hours AND serves great food. Check it out! read more

Came here and ordered a large size of Galbi Jjim to share for 4 people. It comes with 4 rice and you can choose from white or purple grain rice (recommend purple). Large portion is good for 4-5 people depending how much each person eats. If you add cheese for an extra cost you can see how they melt it. Ban chan or side dishes are complimentary and included. When you finish you can ask for me. We like to mix it in with our galbi jjim. Water or barley tea options are complimentary. Water tasted like good filtered water. Free and easy to find parking in parking lot. Restaurant is clean with good air conditioning. Lots of indoor seating. Highly recommend. read more

I came here for both breakfast and lunch! I had their ox knee tang for breakfast and the soup was good but the meat was all tendon so if you like chewy tendon then you will like it. I like the lunch where i had the #25 which had galbijim and two other meats. We added on cheese and rice cakes which i think makes it so much better. It comes with 3 bowls of rice. read more

24/7 is perfect because you can come here after drinking to sober up. Soupy things are always the best cure. I also love the leek? kimchi. I am still getting number 7 but my friend love their sulong tang. I feel like that one is too plain but thats why you have to add the salt. Did they give less food than before? Not sure but from my pictures it seems like they did. Anyway still one of my favorite spots to go to. read more

My first time eating here finally tried it and the food was delicious!!!! Service was great and the vibe here is welcoming. Lots of room but I heard it gets really packed evening time wait is about an hour or so. The soup is marked with a star means you need to flavor it the ones without already has flavor. I got the #8 and I'm so happy with my pick it was amazing. We will try the plate next time cause it's a bit pricey but worth it if you share with 4 plus people. read more

Recently went to this Sun Nong Dan location as it's the closest to me! Well lit, clean and plenty of staff support, at least that's what it seemed like, but it was more bussers than server I think. We were seated in the center aisle and I couldn't help but wonder if that's why our service was lacking. After being seated, we had to flag down staff everytime from taking our order, to asking for to-go containers, to asking for the bill. On top of that, it almost seemed like our table was just not in sight for any servers so it would take a long minute of us raising our hand for someone to notice. We even had to just get up and get somethings ourselves. Onto the food: The soups here are amazing. All the ones we tried (bone broth and spicy) were soothing, good portion of toppings, and just hitting on those rainy days. We also of course ordered the infamous braised short ribs (no cheese), and compared to other times/locations I've had it, this time lacked a bit. The meat was tender, but the pieces were cut so uneven and a good amount of bone pieces that barely had meat on them. The rice cakes and potatoes were too soft, where the potatoes were melding into mash potatoes in the sauce. I also personally wish there was more sauce this time. I would still consider dining here cause it's the closest location to me, but some things to be mindful of and hope my next visit is more on par to the other locations! read more

Sun Nong Dan - Galbi Jjim Specialty - Korean Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I order take out here and come here pretty often! Food: I always tend to order the galbi tang. It tastes very flavorful for me. I sprinkle a little bit of salt and that's enough for me. The meats are always so tender and easy to chew. The sides are always so amazing! The pickled banchans are my favorite! They are generous with the portions. It hits differently after work or on a cold day. Service: You will get seated quickly as the restaurant itself is pretty big. They take your order pretty quickly and it doesn't take too long for the food to come out. Parking: There's a free parking lot BUT it's pretty hard to find a spot as they share it with many other stores around the plaza. Overall: 4.5/5; Everything tastes homey and delicious usually. It can be a little loud so may not be too ideal to catch up with friends here [?]. Free water is provided. I will hopefully get to order again real soon! read more

Sun Nong Dan - Galbi Tang - Korean Near Me - San Gabriel, California

My wife, who sometimes assumes everyone in the SGV speaks Mandarin, was met with a rude response when she tried to speak Chinese to our server. He stated he didn't speak Chinese and rolled his eyes. Another instance involved her asking for water, to which he responded with his back turned. We felt the service was poor and unsatisfactory. However, the food was delicious! We ordered the large #25 Koh Galbi Jjim ($119.99), which contains braised beef short ribs, back ribs, and oxtail. We opted for the soy sauce because our son was with us, and the staff recommended it to avoid the food being too spicy for him. I considered ordering extra rice cakes, but was told they are included, so we skipped it. We added cheese ($8) and they made a show of it by melting it with a torch - quite the photogenic moment! The meat was excellent and very tender, and the soy marinade was a nice, sweet flavor that everyone in our party enjoyed. Our son especially loved the gooey cheese mixed with his meat, carrots, and potatoes. The large portion was more than enough for the three of us, with plenty of leftovers. I even enjoyed it as leftovers for the next two days - it's great in a taco! I'm leaning towards a 4-star rating, as the food was excellent, despite the somewhat high price. However, the service was definitely a problem. With better service, this place would easily be a 5-star experience. We'll definitely be back for the #25 Koh Galbi Jjim; my wife and I want to try the spicy version next time we go without our son. The poor service we received, though, makes us consider trying a different Sun Nong Dan location. read more

There's never a bad time to go to SND to satisfy your galbi tang or galbi jjim cravings whether you're eating it alone or sharing with others. This place is the best because it doesn't matter when you're craving SND; they're always open! The whole ambiance in addition to the delicious food sums up to a satisfying comfort meal. I usually come here once a month and for good reason. Although it usually gets busy around dinner time ~1900, there's always plenty of seating and I typically get helped pretty quickly. I wish they had service buttons to call for help, but regardless the service is fast and attentive. As for the food, this time around I got the #8. The broth was delicious and didn't need any adjustments! They're very generous with their meat servings, which justifies the price. I would definitely recommend the galbi tang if you're here alone. Try out the galbi jjim if you have more mouths to feed! Overall, I loved my experience at SND read more

Sun Nong Dan - Galbi Jjim Specialty - Korean Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I like Sung Nong Dan. It's some of the best galbi jjim in the area. Galbi jjim (non spicy): 7/10. Good but I really thought the spicy was way better Galbi jjim (spicy): 10/10. Worth it. Soo good and not even that spicy. It costs extra to add cheese, but they torch it in front of you which is kind of cool. Beef plate with soup: 8/10. Good and you can get one broth refill which is awesome. Very filling, but I like the galbi jjim best. Service was just okay. I chalk it up to them being very busy, and not enough servers. Parking is free but it's really busy so hard to get a spot. read more

The meat quality and quantity of pieces of meat has gotten worse and worse. Sucks because the price point is pretty high ~$100 for a large and the pieces have to be cut off and there's very little meat and SO much bone. Flavor is still good but man I might have to start looking for alternatives although this has been my go to place for galbijim read more

I actually ended up at Sun Nong Dan one night when I wasn't feeling very well and was searching for something warm and soup-based that was open late. This spot checked both boxes perfectly. The restaurant is located in a plaza, so parking is pretty easy compared to a lot of places in the area. Once inside, the space is clean, spacious, and has plenty of seating. They have a large menu with a lot of different soups, meat dishes, and braised specialties. One of their most popular dishes is the Koh Galbi Jjim, which is a braised beef dish made with beef short ribs, back rib, and oxtail. You can also add melted cheese on top (for an extra charge), which turns it into a bubbling cheese-covered dish. It's definitely on the pricier side around a hundred or something like that but the portion is huge and meant to be shared between several people. I've had it here before and it's really flavorful and filling. Overall, the portions here are generous and the food is very hearty. If you're craving Korean comfort food, this is a solid choice. Service is okay, very straightforward and efficient, but not overly warm or personable. Still, everything comes out fairly quickly and the restaurant runs smoothly. This is the kind of place you'll come back to when you're craving something rich, warm, and satisfying, especially late at night. If you're coming for the Koh Galbi Jjim, bring friends, it's a huge portion and definitely meant to be shared. It's also a great late-night spot if you're craving something warm and hearty. read more

Didn't even know there was Sun Nong Dan located in San Gabriel until my friend called for a dinner here. Since our other two friends hadn't been to Sun Nong Dan before, of course we had to get the galbi jjim. Well, specifically, we got the Koh Galbi Jjim since it had oxtail on top of braised beef short ribs and back rib. And of course, you must get it with the cheese! So I actually had this at the Rowland Heights location and wasn't impressed. But this galbi jjim actually suited my taste palette. I don't know what it was, but this really was significantly better. Perfect blend of savory and sweet! Also had the Galbi Tang (the beef short rib soup). This is where I knew it was vastly different than the Rowland Heights location, because it actually came with mushrooms and green onions and was already perfectly salted. Honestly, I would come here just for this since it's such a light meal. Service is as what you would expect of any Asian place. But they are very responsive when you flag them down. Parking does kinda suck here, especially during prime time hours. Even the fact that it is a huge parking lot doesn't mean much. Overall, the San Gabriel location really flipped my opinion on Sun Nong Dan. Maybe they're not all the same after all. read more

Sun Nong Dan is my go to for comfort food. The soups are rich, hearty, and perfect if you want something super satisfying.

Definitely worth the visit. read more

Food this good available 24/7 should be illegal! Love / hate that I don't live near a Sun Nong Dan location. Great for groups- portions are huge and meant for sharing. Wait times can be on the longer side. It's about 30 mins after you order that you're most likely to get the food on your table. But it's well worth the wait! We got their speciality dish koh galbi jim with short ribs and ox tail, with potatoes, green onions, carrots, onions, and rice cakes. Highly recommended with the cheese add on- they flame it up at the table. We also got an order of the beef intestines, honeycomb, tripe stir-fried with whole garlic, jalapeños, and onions. Both dishes were delicious! So much food I can't believe we finished it all. read more

So sooo delicious! We went during the breakfast special from 6:00-10:30 a.m., when items #1, #4, #12, and #13 are only $11.99 - an unbeatable deal you honestly can't find anywhere else. I ordered the #4, which is ox knee soup, and it was amazing. If you're a fan of cartilage, this dish is basically made for you: rich, gelatinous, and incredibly flavorful. The meal comes with all the banchan sides, with unlimited refills, of course. Once we ordered, they brought out hot barley tea, which was so comforting and delicious. Everything about this meal was perfect - it it was hearty, satisfying, and especially comforting on a rainy day. It really hit the spot. There are plenty of tables inside, so I doubt you'd ever have to wait. Plus, the restaurant is open 24/7, which is perfect for late-night cravings or early-morning breakfasts. I absolutely loved this place and would definitely recommend it. read more

Nice place with great korean cuisine! The beef galbi jim is a must try at this place. A medium one can easily feed 3 or 4 people. It comes with beef ribs, potatoes, carrots, green onions, white onions, rice cakes, and a sweet and spicy sauce. The cheese is optional, but highly recommended. When the dish comes out, they take a blowtorch and melt the cheese down. The dish also comes bubbling hot, so be careful to take your time eating it as to not accidentally burn your tongue haha. The beef ribs are tender, and have just the right amount of chew to it. The veggies are tender and the sweet and spicy sauce binds the whole dish together. Comes with your choice of purple or white rice. I also tried the oxtail sullung tang, which was very comforting. The noodles were soft and the meat was tender. The bone broth was very cozy and had a nice beefy flavor to it. Oddly reminds me of vietnamese congee. Service was pretty good, despite it being so busy when I came to dine at this location. I love that this location is open 24/7, so this is a nice spit to go to for a late night dinner. The interior is clean and bright. read more

I've been eating at Sun Nong Dan for years and have been a very consistent customer. My Uber Eats history alone probably shows how often I order from here. The food has always been good, and I understand how expensive it is to run a business, which is why I didn't complain about things like shrinkflation, reduced banchan, or even charging for sauce for to go orders. But this experience crossed the line for me. Not only did the portion of meat seem noticeably smaller than usual, but I also found a fly in my soup. That completely ruined my appetite. When I called, they initially asked me to come back for a replacement which, honestly, was the last thing I wanted to do after seeing that. They eventually offered a refund, which I appreciate. I'm not going to give this place one star because I've genuinely enjoyed it for a long time. But with the consistent decline in value and this experience, I can't justify rating it higher than 2.5 stars anymore. read more

If you're in need of something brothy or something meaty, look no further!

I love coming here for their breakfast special--it's such a great deal. From 6:00am to 10:30am they offer select soups for $11.99 (+$1 if you get it to go), which is hard to beat. It's become one of my favorite go-to spots when I'm craving something warm and comforting in the morning. My usual order is the #1 sulung tang, which always hits the spot. The soup is rich, soothing, and is a classic comfort food. The brown rice and barley tea that comes with it is a really nice pairing with the soup and makes the meal feel even more hearty and satisfying. I also really enjoy the banchan that comes on the side--kimchi, radish, and chives--which add a fresh and tangy balance. Overall, it's a simple, satisfying breakfast that keeps me coming back. Great value, comforting flavors, and a great way to start the day. read more

It has been years since I've been back here and during this time, it looks like they also changed the interior quite a bit so it's more spacious. We had a large party of 11 with 3 kids and they were able to accommodate us pretty easily. We did go at 11:30am on a weekend so think we just got ahead of the lunch rush. The food was delicious. We ordered a medium Galbi Jjim, Chadol Soo Yook, and Seok Uh Sulung Tang for our large group. Initially when the food came out, we thought we under ordered but we ended up having a ton of leftovers. I'm huge on soups so both the soo yook and tang were hits for me. If you run low on broth for the soo yook, you can ask to add more which we had to do for ours. This was the first time I had ever tried galbi jjim and it was incredible. Highly recommend! As for the banchans, they only had 4 types here - kimchi, radish, chives, and onions. As for the service, I had mixed feelings about it, hence the 4 stars. Maybe it was because we had such a large party but our server looked grumpy the whole time. Sometimes he wouldn't really even acknowledge our request and would just walk away. Service felt a bit similar to what you would experience at a Hong Kong cafe. Despite that, we still got all our food and banchan refills in a timely manner. read more

I came here yesterday morning with my mom for breakfast and really enjoyed the food! We come here often in the mornings because the menu items are great and reasonably priced. I usually get the #1, and my mom always orders the #12. Service is usually quick and the servers are attentive and friendly. Today the food took a little longer than usual, but it was extremely packed when we arrived, and even more people kept coming in while we were eating. Despite the wait, everything was delicious as always. It's also a perfect spot for hot soup, my throat wasn't feeling great, and the warmth really hit the spot. The #1 beef soup has a strong, garlicky flavor that I really enjoy. I also love that they offer extra banchan and rice, it makes the meal even better. Overall, this is a great place to visit, especially if you're craving comforting soup and good service. read more

Sun Nong Dan has to be one of my top 5 favorite Korean restaurant ever. They are open 24/7 and have great parking. Sun Nong Dan is located next to the 168 grocery store. My co-workers and I love it so much it has made it to our rotation for lunch outing. They do have good soup but I always come for their Galbi Jjim. The Galbi Jjim comes in a medium or large size. The large size feed five people with extras to take home. We did add extra meats and rice cake. Galbi Jjim is marinated prime ribs in a secret Galbi sauce cooked with potatoes, green onions, carrots, onions, and rice cake sticks. You can also add cheese that they melt in front of you. This dish with their purple rice is so delicious. I can eat this every day. I love the potatoes in it, it just fall apart with the delicious flavors. The service is good. They were quick to refill on the bachan and help us with tea and water when needed. Overall, an awesome place to get Galbi Jjim or soup for a cold day. read more
