Sun Nong Dan
About
Sun Nong Dan is a 24-hour Korean restaurant in K-Town whose signature is galbi jjim, spicy braised short ribs you can top with cheese torched at the table, a social media classic. The seolleongtang and galbitang soups are popular, too, especially late at night.
Jasmine says
The king of braised short ribs (galbi jjim); this is the cheese-torch moment.
Insider tips
- Seolleongtang around the clock; the cheese-topped short rib is a social-media classic
- Seasoning it yourself with the salt and scallions on the table is the full experience
- Order: Galbi jjim with cheese, torched until it stretches (medium is the sweet-spicy balance)
- Order: Galbitang short-rib soup, served 24 hours
- Order: A small serves 3–4; don't go overboard with a large
Jasmine’s notes
- KoreatownA 24-hour pillar of support, soul soup at 2 a.m. Come here when you don't feel like grilling yourself: the cheese-topped braised short ribs get torched tableside, it's open very late (Eater says 24 hours), and you can come back for oxtail soup the next morning. Eater lists it as open 24 hours, a lifesaver when you're hungry in the middle of the night.Order: Galbi jjim, spicy braised short ribs
