Sun Nong Dan offers sullungtang, an exquisite beef bone broth that is fatless and fragrant, differing from traditional rich soups. Customers are encouraged to enhance the dish with sea salt, scallions, and radish pickles. Known as a restorative meal for morning-after recovery, the restaurant is open 24 hours a day and attracts patrons despite competing eateries nearby. Renowned chef David Chang often highlights the dish, showcasing its appeal beyond just its rich flavors and cultural significance in Koreatown.
"The soup is fatless and softly fragrant, not quite as rich as the soup at fellow specialist Han Bat, but with a sturdy mineral spine..."
"A sullungtang restaurant will always have vivid radish pickles on the table; I think it may be a law."
"Sullungtang has a reputation as a soothing morning-after restorative, perfect both after an evening of hard drinking and as an early-morning palliative."
"Ox bone soup is not why you stand patiently outside while the excellent noodle shops... are half-empty."
