No pork neck stew here and also no English name for me to Yelp but they do have beef neck stews. This one is suite 7. The other is suite 6.
Soup is absurdly good. Really flavorful . Filled with simmered cabbage and topped with chives. So good I can’t imagine it being much better than this good.
What are some of your Ktown favorites? Extra points if it’s not the board default answer for that particular specialty. Extra points x 2 if it’s a spot with minimal to no English.
None of the FTC/CH crew reported on this spot so maybe we do?
I will say a lot of the patrons were middle aged Korean speaking families and even elderly Korean couples so I’m not sure Chang’s twitter feed is enough to explain the popularity.
it’s Korean dishwater posing as $11 soup, what’s there to report on?
Also, this thread is useless without the latest/greatest pochang macha, norangbang&hostess bars. Cuz without those, you might as well follow David Chang’s IG
We hear about every single opening and closing of a random dumpling place in SGV but nothing on one of the most popular restaurants in K-town right now?
as i mentioned before, david chang also dropped $100 at kang kang in alhambra and loved that as well. outside of the SJB, the only thing to recommend kang kang is price point.
Sun Nong Dan has had a wait for quite awhile. Non korean patrons have definitely increased though. Used to frequent Young Dong but now always go to Sun Nong Dan.
It is more expensive though. Their jangachi, kimchi, and kkakdugi are much better though as well as the broth.
i’d be more influenced by the fact that david chang is… korean, but either way, some angelenos won’t venture into k-town for various reasons that you and i may not agree with, but it is what it is.
I love Sun Nong Dong especially because its 24/7. If you want pork neck stew just go next door to Yanji Gamjatang I think I spelled it right but you get the idea.
So how about Korean BBQ these days?
Is anyone cooking over charcoal anymore? I imagine Soot Bull Jeep still is but their meat quality was never that great.
