    First time trying Sun Nong Dan that wasn't in K-town. Went in a Saturday night around 7:30pm and waited for about 10-15 min and sat right away. They were able to keep the consistency of their sulung tang and galbi jjim! This was the first time we also ordered the mul mandu and will have to start adding this to the rotation. So flavorful and different texture and elements from the soup and stew. Good job SGV! And shout out to Roy and Alex for taking care of us for the night! Also playing BlackPink all night for the blinks Anniversary !

    Want Korean at 4 in the morning? You bet! Stopped here for breakfast before catching our flight, and I'm really glad we did. They have breakfast specials for only $12.99, which is a tremendous deal. The service was awesome. Our food came out fast, and they kept checking on us to make sure we had plenty of banchan and hot tea without us having to ask. Tables were clean and welcoming dining area. Our group ordered the Three Meat Deluxe Monster Platter, and wow... the meat was ridiculously tender. The beef back ribs practically fell off the bone, the oxtail was packed with flavor, and the short ribs were some of the best I've had. Everything was cooked perfectly. As a bonus, we had rice cakes added in too! This place is definitely bookmarked for future trips to the LA area. I also found out they have multiple locations, which makes it even better. Looking forward to coming back!

    Came here solo at almost 12am and it was still popping on a Saturday. I had to wait for 20-30 mins and it seems that there were not enough staff to handle the crowd. I ordered the beef soup with dried cabbage and I never had this back in the Bay Area. I think the dried cabbage taste was a bit overpowering(100%my personal preference) so if I come next time I'll try their other dishes. This place is very spacious and staff tried their best. I noticed there was water dripping from the pipe on the ceiling and somehow no one (or seem not to)give a damn about it haha!

    Today Wang and crew really took great care of our table! This place is always hopping for dinner with a wait out the door but the team is always good at flipping tables between guests to get new folks in. They are great at refills for the ba-chans and drinks. ALWAYS a great meal when we come. Tip: get a Galbi Tang while you wait for the Koh Galbi Jjim- soups are pretty fast here. If you love cheese on the Koh Galbi Jjim bring out your phones for the show!

    We ordered one Beef Bone Broth with Brisket and one large Galbi Tang for a family of five, and we were all completely stuffed with plenty left over for at least two more meals. The portion sizes here are massive and definitely worth sharing. The bone broth was lightly seasoned, which I actually appreciated since it allowed us to customize the flavor. Adding a little salt and black pepper gave the soup more depth and really brought everything together. This is one of my absolute favorite Korean comfort foods, and I think this location does it perfectly. They also offer one complimentary soup refill, with additional refills available for $4. Parking was easy with plenty of spaces in the structure. Overall, a great spot for a hearty, satisfying meal with generous portions and delicious, comforting flavors.

    This Sun Nong Dan NEVER MISSES. I love their sulung tang and usually get either the beef soup fat removed, beef brisket, assorted meats, or beef cheek. They're honestly all really good and I especially love their sides. It's usually pretty cold inside the restaurant so even on a hot summer day the sulung tang hits. This location is also way less crowded than their other LA locations. Service is also good, the servers are always nice!

    Went in for dinner and it was very busy inside on a Friday night. Servers were busy handling other customers so it took a while for them to get our order but they were quick with giving us banchan to start off. It was well lit inside and overall clean with staff who were quick with cleanliness and service. I ordered the Ox Tail Soup and I love how it's not too salty to begin with. Adjusted the salt and pepper to my liking. The oxtail meat came in a variety of sizes and they fell right off the bone. The kimchi and pickled radish was fresh and wasn't too spicy maybe with a little kick but well made overall. Overall refreshing, delicious, and fun to eat too. 10/10

    Came by again for a weekday night dinner with the family! When we entered our party was already seated in the back, but there was some people hanging around the entrance. We were a big crowd so had to split our large orders to one per table, it was a bit unusual in terms of timing as half our table ordered first and got rice first but we got our orders at the same time except rice was late (after the fire show). It didn't look super busy, they have plenty of tables available despite people waiting in the front, we came for a 5:30pm dinner so only a couple tables were full, however, we had to continuously flag someone to help us. At 6:30pm when the crowd really picked up, service was harder to get. The food was just as delicious, our side ordered nonspicy but somehow my kid found a few beef pieces spit as there was red pepper flakes, I don't remember it being on the nonspicy version. The banchan and rice were great with the meat, I think the nonspicy is much sweeter but I can taste the beef and sauce more since with the spicy version all I feel is pain. Overall, it was a nice dinner, we did have to ask a few times for more drinks and our other tables rice which not sure if they forgot or they took that long.

    Love coming here for galibijjim! Came here with my family and my husband who is Korean and whenever he gets the craving, we come here since his family is in Sacramento and they don't have anything like this up there. Judy was kind and took our order immediately while explaining the menu to my family who came here for the first time. Definitely recommend a try if you haven't!

    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!

    Service was fast , greeting was immediate and kind. Our server was Judy and she did great! We tried the #25 specialty " Koh Galbi Jjim " and the medium size was huge. The broth was great a little spicy enough to enjoy the beef was tender and we added cheese which they melted in front of us. The place looks nice from the inside.

    #12 Beef Brisket with dried cabbage
    Angela L.

    Best breakfast deal in SGV! They have specials for 4 soups till 10:30 AM. The soups come out piping hot. The meal also comes with banchan and refills, rice (white or brown) and barley tea. Place is clean with plenty of parking and open 24 hours. A must visit!

We asked for a refill of water but were told no, and we felt rushed to leave. I understand that the staff need to close and go home, but I was disappointed that we couldn't even get a simple water refill while finishing our meal. We had to go to our car to get water. One reason we were still there at closing was that the tabletop grill cooked the meat very slowly. Even after placing around three to four plates of meat on the grill, it took about 30 minutes for everything to cook, which made it difficult to finish our meal before closing. I hope the restaurant can find a better balance between closing procedures and allowing guests enough time to enjoy the food they've already ordered.

That being said, I think the price is justified by the quality and selection of the meat. Compared to the basic packages at other KBBQ restaurants, TK92 had a much better variety and the meat tasted fresh and high quality. One of the fun things they do is a timer game when you first arrive--you try to stop the timer at exactly 0.92 seconds for a chance to win a free meal! We were told that people actually do win, so definitely give it a try. They also had a great selection of sides. The Korean pancake was definitely one of my favorites. It was crunchy and super flavorful. Service was good throughout our meal, and parking was really convenient. They have underground parking with a 3-hour time limit, which is more than enough time for KBBQ. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. It's a little pricier than some other KBBQ options, especially since there's no separate lunch pricing, but the meat quality, selection, sides, and overall experience make it worth it. Would definitely recommend!

I love mung beans, so it was great. By itself, the pancake is great, but the sauce that came with it elevated it. It's also a huge portion too! Half chicken with honey butter: This was so crispy and juicy! The honey butter flavor is so unique! I do think it's a bit too sweet for me, but I enjoyed it still. Boneless with soy garlic: I enjoyed the soy garlic flavor more than the honey butter! This was very crispy and tasty too, but not as juicy as the half chicken. Overall, everything was so delicious.

Highly recommend giving this place a try!
