    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.

    Food tastes great! Service was awesome and fast. Good for family meal and generous portion. Large was enough for family of 4-5.

    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!

    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.

    This is one of the best korean restaurants I know. Always get number 2. Try number 2 and thank me later.

    When you aren't feeling well and you need soup. This is where you should go. Any time. Any day. Staff is there to take your order and bring you food. Such nice hardworking people. It doesn't feel like how it use to be years ago, but I'm glad they're still here. Best comfort place for sick days or nostalgia. Family friendly and friend friendly group meals.

    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.

    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.

    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. Parking is a bish tho!! This plaza is super busy so definitely not easy to find parking... if you get tired of circling, park across the street at Ranch99.

    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.

    I tried the beef short ribs, and they were excellent! The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The seasoning was well balanced--not too salty--and the portion was generous. The side dishes were fresh and kept being refilled, which made the meal even better. The service was friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean and comfortable. Definitely one of the better Korean BBQ spots in the area. I would happily come back for the beef short ribs again!

    The Menu as of 5/9/26. #20 and #24 is a MUST!!!
    Peter J.

    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.

    Was craving some korean soup on a cold night and decided to try Yuk Dae Jang for the first time and…read moreit did not disappoint! Everything we had tasted so delicious and flavorful, even the side dishes that consisted of kimchi, fish cakes, and some chives. We kept asking for more and the employees were more than happy to keep them coming! For food, we got the bossam, sulungtang, and yukgaejang. The bossam arrived on this grill that kept it warm throughout the meal, which I can appreciate. The sulungtang and yukgaejang were both phenominal and hit the korean comfort food cravings. Get the purple rice!! Not to mention they had deals on alcohol too. I believe $5 for beer and $7 for a soju bottle -- cant beat that in this economy! Definitely will be adding this to my rotation for korean food.

    Unacceptable Service I am completely done with this…read morerestaurant. Over our last five visits, we've had the exact same middle-aged female server, and her attitude is consistently awful. She clearly hates her job and lacks even the most basic communication skills. No Manners: She barely speaks, rolls her eyes or sighs heavily when asked for simple things like water, and practically shoves plates onto the table. Hostile Vibe: She radiates misery and makes you feel like an absolute burden just for ordering a meal. If you are this miserable in customer service, find another industry. We won't be returning until management addresses who is representing their business. 최악의 서비스 이 식당은 이제 절대 안 갑니다. 최근 5번의 방문 내내 같은 중년 여성 서버가 담당했는데, 태도가 늘 한결같이 최악이었습니다. 자기 일을 끔찍하게 싫어하는 게 뻔히 보이고, 기본적인 소통 능력조차 없습니다. 형편없는 매너: 말도 거의 안 섞고, 물 같은 기본 세팅을 부탁하면 대놓고 한숨을 쉬며 눈치를 줍니다. 음식도 거의 던지듯 서빙합니다. 불쾌한 분위기: 온몸으로 짜증을 뿜어내서, 내 돈 내고 밥을 먹는 것조차 엄청난 민폐처럼 느껴지게 만듭니다. 서비스직이 그렇게 적성에 안 맞으면 제발 다른 일을 알아보세요. 매니저가 이 직원에 대해 조치를 취하기 전까지는 다신 안 갑니다.
