Sun Nong Dan (Koreatown)
선농단
A 24-hour Korean restaurant in Koreatown, famous for its spicy braised short ribs topped with cheese melted tableside with a blowtorch.
This entry covers the Western Avenue location in Koreatown, which is open 24 hours a day. The signature dish is galbi jjim (spicy braised short ribs) served with potatoes and rice cakes, topped with mozzarella cheese that is melted tableside with a blowtorch. The Infatuation calls it a must-eat in Koreatown and recommends ordering it medium spicy. Alternatively, you can order galbi tang (beef short rib soup), with over a dozen other stews and soups available on the menu. Reservations are not accepted, and lines can form after midnight on weekends. The large portion of galbi jjim costs around $105–$120 and is ideal for sharing. Reports on the status of the original 6th Street location vary, so please head to the Western Avenue branch.
