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.

I ordered this so that my daughter had something to eat. Pork jowl and scallop pancakes were still delicious and tasty as I remembered the first time we had it. They didn't have the perilla cold noodles but they had pine nut cold noodles. And man was this dish so memorable. I really enjoyed the creaminess and how it just came together with the sliced pear and candied walnuts. Wish i ordered one bowl just for myself haha. Was sad that the zabuton was not on the menu but they had the chuck flat. Still think the zabuton tasted better! Service was great. Music wasn't as loud as when we first went. It was a great family meal! Can't wait to come back.

Found this place by mistake. We were in the area due to the Mexico/Korea match and were starving…read more We consulted yelp and Google and settled on this place. I really wanted authentic Korean food that was not kbbq and not tofu and this place delivered! This restaurant is in a small strip mall. The strip mall has other Korean food options. They have a valet parking system of sorts but we didn't pay, we self parked. The attendant told us we were fine. It was approx 9pm when we arrived and also a week night. I have no idea how much valet parking is here. We were a small party of two. Upon arrival, we were notified they were out of RICE. Um..what?? That's a good problem (for them to have) but not for consumers. I feel this really limited our options to just soup. I honestly didn't want soup but there wasn't much else we could order. The bowls were large and came out piping hot. It was a satisfying meal and not too heavy. The price point was on the pricey side. Our waiter told us business has not been the same post covid. Some dishes are between $40-$60. I asked for a soup and they were able to make it less spicy. My friend got a soup with dumplings in it. He put a good amount of soy sauce to give the broth some life. Also, the banchan is on point. We asked for a refill and devoured the second portions. If you wanna impress friends with Korean food, bring them here! Its a casual place.

Restaurant was half empty and no Ike which surprised us on a Saturday night. Ordered some bossam and chungukjang and it didn't taste the same as it used to couple years ago. Not sure what the issue was but it lacked flavor. Also they were cleaning the kitchen while serving food which was kinda not sanitary with all the water splashing on the floor of the kitchen while they were making food. Overall it's not what it used to be and cleaning the kitchen while making and serving food is not a good combo.

The star of the show is easily the banchan. The table just kept filling up with an endless, colorful variety of high-quality, flavorful sides to mix into the barley rice.

This is not your average Korean restaurant for many who may not be in the know. Designed around…read moremore traditional dishes you may have experienced, the variety and creativity here are amazing. Centered around a large display of Banchan, your table may feel too small to accommodate the dining experience. Best be enjoyed in small groups, the communal experience is incredible. Pricing is fixed, and there is a minimum order requirement of two protein dishes. Everything else will be included to round out the dining experience. The service was beyond agreeable. Especially for new patrons, the staff is understanding and willing to explain the menu. This is a fine dining experience elevated by many traditional Korean flavors. Everyone gets a large bowl of barley rice, and you can build your own bowl with the many kinds of Banchan. Sauces and soups are also served to round the palate. Priced as fine dining, this place feels like a special occasion choice, or if you're seeking more traditional Korean foods. Parking is available in a private lot, which can be quite the godsend in this neighborhood.

tl;dr the delectable pork ribs overshadow the otherwise authentic but standard lineup at this…read morenow-shuttered Korean stalwart Los Angeles Koreatown is home to restaurants that specialize in every facet of Korean cuisine. If you're searching for some of the city's best pork, then those in the know will bring up Ham Ji Park. For 2 decades, generous platters of pork ribs and pork neck stew decked every table. Now, our Korean friends lament the loss of their favorite pork joint in the city. The Koreatown proper location is located in the Royal Plaza mini-mall, just a few blocks off bustling Wilshire. Discounted parking is available in a lot across the street from the Chevron gas station. From the street, the entrance is flanked by potted plants and an enclosed street-ery. Inside, stainless steel chairs are pressed up against wooden tables, each outfitted with a metal grill. Oppressive fluorescent lighting shines down on the stone grey walls, which are left undecorated apart from a few flatscreens. Multi-lingual chatter blends with the sizzle of platters. I visited with some friends for a weeknight dinner, and about half of the tables were occupied. We shared a spread of grilled platters and sizzling soups. The meal began with a carafe of barley tea and a mostly standard spread of banchan. Across our food, the best dish was the signature Charbroiled Pork Spare Rib. The ribs were flavorful without feeling gamey, and the meat was complemented by sweet caramelized onions. The pork ribs handily outdid the good-not-great Charbroiled Beef Short Rib. Lastly, the Milt and Cod Rose with Vegetables stew was fishy and briny, appropriately flavored for the Korean palate. The service was appropriately attentive, although I would've appreciated more intentional refills of our banchan ramikens. The rib plates cost upward of $35 each, while the soup was just under $30. The portions were hearty; a single entree platter could reasonably feed 2 moderately hungry bellies. It's a shame to hear that Ham Ji Park has closed; I'm kicking myself for not trying their pork neck stew earlier.
