Sun Nong Dan Sawtelle 선농단

I heard this location had just opened, so I expected it to be a bit more relaxed, but it was already quite busy — which says a lot. There’s really no need to explain the quality or portion size of the food. Places that attract this many people usually have a good reason. What stood out the most was the service. The person who seemed to be the manager led the team with just a look, and the staff responded quickly and attentively. Everyone worked with great awareness and teamwork, which made the whole dining experience very enjoyable. Overall, it was a great place with good energy, good food and excellent service. I can see why so many people are coming here, and I would definitely visit again.

03/09/2026 I was in the area to meet some client so I went and look for something to eat real quick. I never been here before but I saw that it had good reviews. I ordered their famous beef soup, it came with brisket and ribs. Their kimchi were amazing as well.

We had a wonderful experience here. The food was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance made the meal even more enjoyable. Our server, Ken, was amazing—so attentive and friendly, and he really took great care of our table. The rest of the staff was just as welcoming. We’ll definitely be back!

The soup is fantastic. It truly hits the soul & is satisfying. Portions are great sized. Friendly service. SHOUT OUT TO our server MIKE THE MAN! :) excellent advice!

We love Sun Nong Dan. My husband and I come here often in the morning, and our servers today, Ken and DK, were wonderful—so friendly, attentive, and they took care of us very quickly. They’re open 24 hours, which is amazing. We usually come here in the morning and highly recommend the early bird special ($11.99) for select menu items (before 10:30). The portions are generous—definitely enough to take some to go—and it’s such a great, healthy, and delicious way to start the day. The flavors are very authentic. The vibe here is fantastic. It honestly feels like you’re being transported completely out of LA. It’s also a great spot for late-night comfort food. There’s usually a bit of a line, so coming earlier in the morning is ideal when it’s quieter. Also a great option for takeout. We ar
