Sun Nong Dan - Korean restaurant in Rowland Heights - 18902 Gale Ave, USA

My mother told us that this place has the best soup in the city. Oh boy, she wasn't lying. The selection of soup noodles is plenty! We only tried one of the beef stew. It was delicious. And they are not shy about portions as well. If you are a big eater of meat. This is your place. One can also ask for extra meat! We also ordered the $99 dollar big bowl of meat with cheese. If you order it with cheese. The guy with the flame thrower will show up to give you a show. It was more than enough for a party of 4. It can even easily feed a party of 6. The service here is fast! And they also bring you the usual Korean side dishes as well. We got three different kimchi. It would be nice if one of the side dishes is not spicy. My mom said she got different side dishes the last time she was here. It could be that they rotate them. As for the atmosphere. It is loud! They turn their Korean pop music up... Really up. Also the table arrangements are set up to fit as many customers as the restaurant can. Not an ideal place for a quiet night or even a date night. Great place for a gathering of friends and family.

Great for parties 4 or more. Get the cheese, it's worth it! Press the bell for great service. This location is way better than the Western Ave location near K town. Last but not least, I'm addicted to the spicy grass they serve. Update 12/09/23: Finally came here and did not get the big entree with the cheese thing. Actually got an individual soup, the honeycomb, tripe, beef soup which was medium spicy and amazing because it doesn't include noodles but comes with lots of green grass looking stuff.

Food was DELICIOUS!! Service was a bit slow. No one approached us for 15 mins waiting, and no one came to check the table:( It’s all good though!! Food made up for it

I often come here to eat beef soup, and I choose "special beef rib soup" every time. The quality of the beef is very good, and the soup base is also very mellow. I like it very much.

Came around midnight and there were a decent amount of people in but we were seated right away. The food was amazing. Side dishes were so tasty! We got the Galbi Jjim with cheese and rice cakes and it was perfect! We split it with 4 people and it was more than enough food for us. Would highly recommend!

Came here on a Sunday night. Very friendly staff, good service and good portion for food. The meat quality was good and definitely loved the spicy radish and pickled onions for the sides

Gio was an amazing host. It was our first time and we basically asked him to curate the experience. We got the combo (beef and pork), good value. A small serves 1-2 people and a large 3-4. If you do a meat specialty (beef only or pork only) it’s a little less volume but more in choice variety (1 more beef or pork choice). Amazing sides (the white radish was a personal favorite), which are free to replenish (just not the grilled meats). The host grills the meat for you and they are attentive. We also got a beer to share (they have 4 types/ we were recommended the cass with our combo - an amazing paring). Gio took a break and the stand- in grilled amazing as well (so sorry we don’t remember your name!) excuse the half eaten table photo. The grill is in the middle, and the exhaust does a really good job to extract the smoke. Would go again and really happy we ended up choosing this place.
