    This week, our favorite food critic, Jonathan Gold, scopes out Sun Nong Dan after his daughter gets taken there on a date. David Chang, of Momofuku fame, put the 24-hour Koreatown joint on the map last year when he posted Sun Nong Dan's galbijjim on Instagram not once, but twice in one day. There's a reason why this spicy short rib stew lands on every table. It's excellent. If you don't trust us or Jonathan, just ask David Chang!

    Read Jonathan's review of Sun Nong Dan on the LA Times website.
