We went on a Sunday afternoon, and there was a decent line outside the restaurant. However, the…read moreline moved quickly. They handed out menus and took your order when you were close to the front. Once seated inside, they welcomed you with their signature banchan dishes: the nutty boribap (보리밥), which tastes great on its own but even better with their yeolmu kimchi (radish water kimchi). There's also their tasty radish kimchi and napa kimchi. Throughout the meal, they replenished our banchan multiple times without us asking. We tried two of the new items: Galbi Kalguksu: A delicious, deep-flavored bone broth with knife-cut noodles, shredded fried egg, sliced radish, and scallions. The meat fell off the bone, and I loved the broth, though my husband thought it was a little on the saltier side. Perilla Oil Makguksu: Cold buckwheat noodles in perilla oil. Mixed with sliced shiitake mushrooms, shredded perilla leaf, gim (seaweed), sesame seeds, and scallions. It's a deliciously light refreshing dish if you don't want the heavy knife-cut noodle dishes. Last, I ordered the Non-spicy Seafood Kalguksu. It comes with a anchovy broth with a lot of seafood flavors. It's a lighter broth than the galbi but still rich in flavor. It came with clams, mussels, shrimps and 1/2 crab. There was also sliced pumpkin and zucchini. Everything tasted great. Their servers were very attentive and generous with replenishing the side dishes, and overall it was a wonderful experience. If you see a line and don't mind waiting 15-30 minutes, it moves pretty quickly, so don't be deterred by it.

We came as a group of 9 and thankfully, they allow for reservations if you are a group of 8 or bigger. Take note! Especially in this LA peak heat. We checked in with the valet and they gave us menus as we waited about 15/20 minutes for the table to be ready. You will need to order before you are seated and you cannot order anymore food once you are seated, given how popular they are, this makes plenty sense. We were seated inside with cooling AC and the restaurant is quite large inside! It could certainly have several parties in there. Soon, our galbi kalguksu, XL chicken kalguksu, tteokbeokki and XL pork jowl and pork belly bossam showed up. Everything was extra delicious and fresh. The soups in both the galbi and chicken kalguksus were amazing and the hand pulled noodles were divine. We drank and ate everything up quickly. The tteokbeokki was delicious, but too spicy so the rest of the party was able to enjoy it. The bossam was all so tender and had just enough napa and garlic to go with it along with the many unique sauces we could dip all the meats in. Everyone left feeling happy and it satisfied everyone's palates.

We ordered some Baekseju too, and it paired so well with the food that it was seriously a match made in heaven. The service, interior, and vibes were just okay, pretty average, and they kept playing K-pop the whole time. On the bright side, I loved that it wasn't valet parking, and the food prices were honestly super reasonable and cheap.

Delayed review...so it is unfortunate it shows permanently closed :/…read more Sun Nong Dan was on my to-try list for awhile! Came by around 6PM on a Sunday. Surprisingly, no wait, though parking was getting filled up. Valet for $5, or street parking if able. Two of us ordered: #3, ox bone soup with assorted meats $20.99 #7, galbi tang $22.99 Their brown rice is actually purple rice. I personally ate most of the #3. I thought the flavors were nice and the amount of meat was more than expected, which was nice. Would definitely be back! I'm sure it could be rough in the area if you had to wait more than 20-30 minutes.

I was happy to see this is a 24 hours location and I wanted warm soup for comfort food to sober me up. The restaurant is in a small strip mall that offers valet service but we were able to find free street parking. I got the oxtail beef bone broth soup and it definitely hit the spot for comfort. I'm so sorry in my drunk state I ended up spilling my broth all over the table and floor. The staff were so sweet and understanding, I kept apologizing to them.

Our server Josh gave us great tips on the menu and checked on us often for addtional banchan. The interior has a minimal cool design that makes it feel high-end yet cozy. Had one of the best Korean Raw Soy Sauce Crab (almost made like my auntie made it) - so light and airy with the correct amount of umami! Highly recommend this place for an experience all around!

Absolutely loved this place!…read more Inside is minimally furnished but very clean, gives you a modern Korean restaurant vibe vs the traditional. Our server was very helpful and friendly, since it's a modern Korean restaurant with banchans only came with sets. We expected not to be able to have some more, but he not only gave us one more set, (we only ordered 2 sets, the cold noodle didn't come in set.) he also allowed us to have one more of their very delicious seafood pancake. And it was freshly made to order! We tried their crab roe cold noodles, which was good, not very special, but their spicy crab bimbimbap is very good, best dish is their marinated spicy shrimp and soy marinate crab. Very fresh and sweet, meat is tender and full of umami. A very pleasant dinner experience and definitely worth a five star from me!

Read about this place in Eater LA and sounded interesting…read more Stopped in for lunch in a Sunday and had to wait for about 20 minutes. It was curious though when we were finally seated the place was only half full. Not sure why we were kept waiting. The menu was very simple. There was just one main dish to choose from: the deiwji gomtang. It's similar to a gukbop. The broth was clear and flavorful. It reminded me more of chicken broth than pork broth. We also ordered the sliced pork side dish. It was essentially the same pork slices in the gomtang. The haemul wanja was similar to a seafood pajeon except it had chopped tofu in the mixture which gave it a softer texture. Overall a decent lunch choice; but, it didn't quite live up to the hype.

The menu is straightforward with only Dweji Gomtang as the main dish, seafood pancake and cold cut pork as appetizers. The soup was way better than I expected. The flavor of the soup was just how I liked it and the pork meat was very soft and tender. There was rice inside the soup, not overly soggy and still had a nice texture to it. I did end up ordering both appetizers too. The cold cut pork was good but nothing out of the ordinary. The seafood pancake was delicious. It's not the traditional kind where the ends are crispy and the center area batter-y. This pancake was soft and thick. The taste of both seafood and egg were quite strong. Overall, I thought the food was incredible. It is cheaper than sullungtang and I liked the vibes of the pop up. I was worried about seating while reading reviews but the place was mostly empty around 6pm of a sunday. I will be going back at least one more time before the pop up ends.

The service is a mix of people and robotic delivery system, which was really convenient for getting our food items quickly. The staff are very friendly, attentive, and knew when to change grills without being asked. We chose to go with Menu B, which is $30/person for lunch pricing. Beef belly - 10/5, my favorite cut and they have an excellent balance of fat and meat. Brisket - 5/5, good! But chewier than the beef belly since it's a lean cut. Garlic Pork belly - 4/5, delicious but the garlic burnt on the grill. Pork belly slices - 5/5, more convenient than pork belly since the slices are thinner and cook faster. Galbi short rib - 5/5, sweet marinade and very tender. The other menu sides we ordered were mix veggies, steamed egg, corn cheese, beef soup, salad, and rice paper. Their banchan is on the sweeter side, but 10/10 I loved the kimchi and kimchi radish dishes. Lots of parking available directly in front of the restaurant and in the plaza. Your whole party needs to be present to be seated.
