  • LA's best food always comes from strip malls and this week K-Town host Matthew Kang joins the one and only beef aficionado Nick Solares, host of the Meat Show, at Sun Nong Dan. Together, they eat one of the most epic meals in Koreatown: a massive cauldron of spicy braised short ribs, or galbijjim.
    Eater is the one-stop-shop for food and restaurant obsessives across the country. With features, explainers, animations, recipes, and more - it’s the most indulgent food content around. So get hungry.

    both the Korean Braised Short Ribs dish (with ALL the accompanying kimchis!!!) and the Solaris Guide to St. John's Restaurant are the most delectable culinary experiences i've seen in a loooooong time. now i want to savor bubbling veal marrow lathered on crunchy toast with fresh parsley salad and gritty salt, creamy lamb sweetbreads bathed in butter, and slivers of beef heart bathed in their own juices and served with beets and horseradish creme fraiche. i've already memorized the dishes ...

    Before the ''great consumer electronics crash of 2007" I did sales events and kept tract of my Companies merchandise to make sure places like Best Buy etc gave them the exposure they paid for. We would have training in LA every year and I used my housing allowance to stay in K Town, the food was better the rooms far cheaper than at the Hilton and I was away from everyone after hours--every one that is but the Koreans who came to observe the 4 day training sessions. They were stunned to see me in the K Town Motel they were in. Took my husband and I to dinner a couple of times each session but they wouldn't let us return the hospitality.

  • @jrs89
    @jrs89 Před 5 lety

    They passed on the melted cheese torched table side? I did as well. Most everyone orders it this way. I thought I was the only one.
    Sun Nong Dan's galbi-jjim is a little sweet for my tastes. It's amazing when it comes out hot, but when it cools down it starts to taste sweet. Almost too sweet. I ordered it spicy. It wasn't very spicy. I'm curious to see if ordering "extreme" would make it better. Other than that, meat was good quality and there are nice vegetables. Their rice cakes are delicious. Very good banchan.
    Sun Nong Dan is a tiny restaurant. It can have a pretty long wait. Even on slower nights, there are always large crowd outside. Patrons are rushed and there's no alcohol served. I don't think their galbi-jjim alone is worth the hype. I'm curious to come back and try the sullungtang (oxtail soup).

    I like how this clip is introducing easily approachable Korean food for non-Koreans BUT! This dish doesn't cost $100 for 4 pcs lol they are actually much cheaper than Ktown price if you go to good local restaurants in Korea. Also, obviously this is more Americanized version of Gal-bi-jjim. Usually they're sweet & savory soy sauce based(No cilantro!). I'm from NYC but Korean food taste better in Korea just like how Pizza taste better in Italy ;)
