Had the Best Meal in the US β Right Here in LA! π
While planning our LA trip, friends kept saying: "Go for Korean, Japanese, or Southeast Asian food β less risky than Chinese spots here." So we picked Sun Nong Dan in Ktown β the most famous spot, especially after hearing even Jackson Wang was seen here late at night! π ππ» Verdict: Truly the BEST meal of our entire US trip!! A carnivoreβs paradise! π₯©π₯ π₯ What We Ordered: For first-timers, go straight for: π₯© No. 24 β Braised Beef Short Ribs (Galbi Jjim) The beef ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender β savory with a touch of sweetness, completely stole my heart! Comes with soft potatoes and chewy rice cakes soaked in flavor. β Key Tips: 1οΈβ£ ADD EXTRA CHEESE if you love cheese! They give a HUGE amount β enough to fill you up on its own! Plus, a staff member will flambΓ© it tableside with a blowtorch β a 5-minute fiery show (caught the table next to us filming ours too ππΈ). 2οΈβ£ Portion wisely! Three of us ordered the large size + a soup and had tons leftover. Medium is plenty for 3 people β save the large for 4β5+! π² No. 1 β Greaseless Beef Soup We ordered this for something lighter β truly not a drop of oil in sight! Packed with tender beef slices and glass noodles at the bottom β a clean, comforting side soup. π₯¬ Side Dishes Even the complimentary kimchi and banchan were so good β my friend got so hungry waiting that she ate half a bowl of rice just with the sides! π π Sun Nong Dan 3470 W 6th St #7, Los Angeles, CA 90020 π° Around $50 per person (our bill for 3 was ~$170 with tip) #SunNongDan #KtownLA #BestMealInUS #LAFoodie #KoreanBBQ #BraisedShortRibs
