My friend took me to this Korean restaurant for dinner, and it was an absolute delight. He had raved about it, and I can honestly say I wasn't disappointed. The standout dish for me was the Snow Soup; it was incredibly flavorful and something I'd highly recommend. The restaurant had a lively atmosphere with many young patrons, creating a vibrant and energetic dining experience. The menu offered a wide variety of Korean dishes, and I was impressed by the authenticity and quality of the food. also appreciated the opportunity to try a range of Korean flavors, from kimchi to sqiud loll. If you're in the mood for delicious Korean cuisine, I can wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant. The Snow Soup alone is worth the visit, and I'll certainly be returning for more..

I came here on a Saturday night with my gf and overall our experience was great. We had to wait in line because it was full when we got there but the wait wasn't too long. I had ordered the combo which included a cold soup and pork belly and omg it was delicious . The cold noodle was super refreshing and the pork belly as well. We were given small side dishes in the beginning and they were pretty good. The travel was worth it tbh and we'll definitely be coming back soon!

As the weather gets colder, the desire to have a hearty hot bowl of soup begins to build up in a matter of seconds every single hour I’m awake. It’s a fiend that has to be constantly fed and/or suppressed less it unleashes wrathful hell on everything around it. That’s how this establishment made it to one of my lists of must-visits during the colder months. They serve a rather unique broth for those new to this particular style of Korean soups - really hearty but really clean, seemingly flavorless but also bold once enough salt is introduced. My introduction to the dish Seolleongtang took place almost two decades ago. I was sick - very sick - and had absolutely no appetite (an obvious recipe for further disaster). A close friend’s grandmother found out and made a large pot’s worth of this broth and “demanded” that she force me to consume a lot of it. I still laugh when I think about it especially my friend’s facial expressions when she showed up with it. Long story short, she didn’t need much effort to convince me. The clean scent was enough for me to be willing try it; the gentle but hearty contrast was enough for me to keep going until most of the pot was gone. It sure got me up and well again overnight and made me a permanent fan of this potent broth. Seolleongtang is pretty much the same almost everywhere except for the spice condiments that they offer with it. As I prefer mine just with sea salt, I’m just happy whenever there is a place that serves a decent portion of it whenever the weather is cold. If you’ve never had this soup before, I’d definitely recommend it to nourish your soul. My only tip is…don’t hesitate to keep adding salt until the flavor pops for you.

Best Korean food place in town. I love the spicy kalbitang. The combos are also good choices for variety.

Delicious sam gyeop sal! The smoky flavour from the grilled were excellent! Soulongtang was great but spicy kalbitang was a let down, the meat was so tough I thought I would break my teeth. Great service, worth a visit if you’re in the area, just don’t order the kalbitang

DELICIOUS COLD NOODLES! Also an incredibly crispy, decadent and savory kimchi pancake (which comes with seafood). The mul naemyoung had the right amount of sourness while being icy and refreshing.

Overall, great quality and they do a good bone soup. The seafood pancake stood out as it was very crispy compared to normal ones. The service was prompt and responsive and the atmosphere is nice and homely. Price is steep, but they are worth it for the stews and soups.

Great tasting food and good portion, had an amazing time here with friends. Bossam, Galbi, and Bulgogi are all great with the Soulongtang!
