This place is super popular! The food is delicious, especially the soup! I came late at night, and there were lots of sexy and pretty girls eating here; they seemed to have just come from nightclubs.
Hands down the best late night hearty meal after a fun night with friends! The food regardless of what you choose is amazing with fresh ingredients and full of flavor! The employees have it down and are so quick to assist and are friendly. It does get quite busy depending on when you go, but since SND closes so late there tends to be a wait at night. There’s plenty of tables and the workers do their best with the waitlist. Parking is limited, so your best bet is street parking. Def my go to late meal spot or hangover meal! :)
Came here during the holidays and had to wait about an hour, but honestly — totally worth it. The beef short rib stew was incredibly tender, falling apart with every bite, and I loved that it wasn’t overly seasoned. Just pure, rich flavor. The dramatic fire show was everything — definitely added some emotional value to the meal! 🔥🧀 Great food, fun experience. Would absolutely come back!
We’ve been to this restaurant countless times, but today’s takeout experience was extremely disappointing. When I arrived to pick up the order, the staff had already tied the bag tightly and simply pushed it to me for payment. When we got home, we discovered the entire meal had a burnt taste — including the potatoes and rice cakes. We called the restaurant, and they told us we should have checked the food at pickup. How were we supposed to check it when you tied the bag in a tight knot? And how can anyone see or smell a burnt taste through photos? To-go portions are also significantly smaller than dining in. I absolutely do not recommend this place, especially for to-go orders.
This is such a great restaurant. If you love Korean soups this is the place for you. Their sul long tang is amazing. The sides dishes are traditional and go perfect with the soups. The service is fast and attentive, they refill them without asking. The hot tea is free and soothing. It’s big inside and even when fill doesn’t feel cramped. And did I mention it’s open 24 hours? The also have specials before 10:30am.
