Korean Closer

Restaurant: Sun Nong Dan

Rating: Tasty!

We left our epic traditional sushi dinner the other night at Ginza Onodera a bit hungry and so headed east to Korean Town for Second Dinner!

Sun Nong Dan is a 24 place serving up delicious Korean Stews.

 Typical mini-mall Korean joint interior.

The menu is essentially a couple different tunes along the same theme.

 Banchan include kimchee.

Pickled radish or turnip.

Colon sweeper spicy greens.

Plus there is this dipping sauce for the meat in the main event.

 Koh Galbi Jjim. Braised beef short ribs, ox tail, and a spicy red sauce. The short rib was deliciously tender. The ox tail full of flavor but much bonier. The whole thing was served at tongue searing temperatures — but the red sauce was thick, both a tad sweet and spicy at the same time and wholly delicious.
 This was some seriously good spicy beef stew!

 Particularly soaked over rice.

Sun Nong Dan really hit the spot after our lighter “first dinner” and I definitely DID NOT leave hungry! Note that there is no alcohol here.
