Sun Nong Dan

“They say LA’s Koreatown has better food than Korea itself, and Sun Nong Dan is the proof. The Galbi Jjim (large) is massive—it easily fed our group of 5 and every bite of meat was incredibly juicy. But the highlight for me was the banchan. The seasoning was spot on, and the kimchi honestly felt like eating my grandma’s cooking. I could feel my ancestry roots coming back to me with every bite! We also tried the Won Gi Tang, which far exceeded our expectations. If you want the most authentic, h...”

“I often visit this restaurant with my kids. The food is delicious, and all the servers are very friendly. I also think the prices are quite reasonable for the quality.
