Came here for breakfast special and it did not disappoint! The service was immaculate, our server Winter was wonderful and very attentive. The music and lighting was not too bright and the volume was perfect for a Sunday morning breakfast. Can't go wrong with the #1 (Sulung Tang, getting extra meat was worth it!) and #12 (dried cabbage soup with beef)! read more

Celebrated my mom's birthday at Sun Nong Dan, and we had such a lovely time. The Galbi Jjim and Galbi Tang were amazing -- so flavorful, comforting, and perfect for sharing with the family. A big thank you to Jenny for taking such good care of us. She was so kind, sweet, and helpful throughout the whole meal, which made my mom's birthday feel even more special. read more

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

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

This was a disappointing experience from start to finish. We sat for 10 minutes unattended. Like others have mentioned service is very slow. Both Sam, a middle aged Korean lady I assume is a manager, and Winter, a Korean man who clearly didn't want to be there, were dismissive and completely avoided our table yet served other tables that came after us. The restaurant was pretty empty so it was even more obvious they didn't want to serve us. The biggest issue was finding a piece of hair in my oxtail soup. When I brought it up, I was told it was "part of it". They offered a replacement reluctantly and by that point I had already lost my appetite couldn't trust I wouldn't find another piece of hair since it's "part of it". The broth was bland and lacked richness. Side dishes were bland too especially the kimchi. 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

Fortunate enough to have Roy as our server tonight and the service he provided was outstanding!!! He made us feel super comfortable and brought out delicious food professionally read more

Delicious food!! Also great service by our server Alex!!! Will definitely come again!!!

Great service, massive portions and easy parking. Thanks Jenny for a wonderful dining experience. Well definitely come back!

As a Korean, I rarely eat Korean food in the SGV. It's just not as good as Ktown LA or Buena Park. But sometimes you gotta get what you can get. The food at SND is 3.5 stars. The entrees and banchan are oil-ier and thicker (the sauces) than I'm used to, so the food feels heavy and not the highest quality. But big thank you to our server Tim. He was so sweet and helpful. He made our dinner last night more enjoyable and warm. Restaurant is super noisy fyi. read more

Food was amazing as always! Jenny was super friendly and attentive, made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back whenever I'm in LA! read more

Sun Nong Dan - 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

Like many mentioned service is their greatest downfall. Had to flag down every time we need anything and even some of our requests for refills were unfilled. Tried their number 7 soup and it was very good, well flavored and nourishing. Ordered number 25 medium with cheese and rice cakes. The dish is good but it's a huge dish. After a while it just gets overwhelming to finish. read more

Really enjoyed my meal at Sun Nong Dan. The #7 soup was so good, and all the side dishes were delicious and fresh. Everything tasted authentic. Definitely a great spot for Korean food. Would come back again! read more

Sun Nong Dan - Galbi Tang - 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

Delicious and comforting Korean galbijim! The beef was incredibly tender, flavorful, and perfectly braised, with a rich sauce that paired beautifully with the vegetables. The portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. Our server, Roy, gave us a warm, cozy atmosphere made the meal even more enjoyable. 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

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

The food is savory and all the sides complement the main dish perfectly. The Beef short rib soup with dried cabbage was so good. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alex our server was super nice and attentive. We ordered the #25, KOH Galbi Jim and it was plenty of food for 3 adults and a child. We totally recommend and come back again. 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

If you're in need of something brothy or something meaty, look no further! Pro tip if you don't want something too heavy, order the clear broth soup and have the meats with a bite of Banchan, chefs kiss*. The meats are almost all cooked to perfection. However, I wished the oxtail was a little more tender and fatty. read more
