I really hope this place doesn't blow up it's so homey and the food is amazing and very decently priced. It is small and does get pretty busy though so be prepared to wait on a busy night.

My new favorite place to get sullungtang! First of all, you know, a great place in ktown by their quality in banchan! I didn't mean to, but we almost had four servings of their Kimchi because it was that good! Make sure to get the knee oxtail soup if you're a fan of the jelly collagen part of the beef! The service he is amazing and super friendly I love supporting Korean small businesses! Would definitely recommend! There is limited parking in the front, but their side parking on the street! Hope you give it a try

My group went for dinner, and the owner seemed unpleasant until we ate, so I don't want to eat with her face anymore. The person working was kind and courteous, so I decided to deduct points from this person.Instead of kindness.This is a restaurant I don't want to go to.

one of my favorite bone broth places, i love it here. the seollongtang is just a nice classic cloudy broth and their radish kimchi is good. The ladies here are always very kind as well. It is a dive type of restaurant but if you don't need super aesthetic ambiance in a restaurant, highly recommend :)

Managed by a super sweet lady, this small restaurant serves beef bone broth soups that you can adjust the seasoning to your own taste. This was perfect for us as we had to watch the sodium content for our mom. We also received many different banchans to try. Service was quick and very friendly and the pricing was very reasonable! I loved my bibimbap where the rice came on the side so I could add as much or as little rice as I wanted. It's located in a small 2-story strip mall just west of Vermont Ave.

The best Sulungtang ever. We ‘ve been to restaurant all the time and food quality and taste are the best. Staff are always friendly and provide wonderful service. You won’t regret visiting this restaurant.

This is a divey Korean restaurant that serves up wonderful food. We had beef soup which we could tell was prepared with love. It is very small and hard to spot as you drive by. It is located in a strip mall but don't let that deter you. The ban chan was delicious as was the purple rice. I could have been sated with these alone. They don't serve alcohol which is the only negative thing. My wife enjoys beer with Korean fare. The place is family run. You should check it out.

i LOVE this place. the service is great and quick, and the staff is so nice. they're more comfortable speaking korean, but they still speak english and they speak very kindly and try their best :) i honestly prefer this place over hanbat. even though i love hanbat too, the wait and the environment is a little chaotic. sytk feels a little more comfortable. the banchan they give is amazing and has more variety as well. i especially loved their kkakdugi. the soup itself is rich and the meat is good as well. i feel like it was the perfect amount for me. i think hanbat has a little more meat, but as someone who likes less meat, this was perfect. the price is amazing. the total before tip came to $29 for two people! i'd say it is more worth it than hanbat in that sense.

I had the Spicy Beef Soup. Super spicy and delicious. Great selection of the traditional side dishes.

I wanted to try a new oxtail place soup whenever I'm in Ktown and this place did not disappoint. My soup was delicious and I also loved their side dishes. The service was pretty quick and the workers were friendly. I would return if I'm ever in the area.
I'd eat here every day if I could. The ahjummas here are SO kind (& quick!!!) and the galbitang was AMAZING. Tends to get busy cause it's a small hole in the wall but I think that just comes to show how good the food is.

What can I say the food was an Amazing surprise! Super awesome sides, Korean style, with delicious kimchi offerings. Very reasonable and filling lunch that doesn't leave you feeling unhealthy. I got a beef Bulgogi and the flavors were delicious of sweetness with a little bit of spice. It was everything I was hoping for. The service is super friendly. The owners are there and we're very grateful for my business and that of all of the other folks there. Extremely casual, super clean, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend you make a stop next time you're in Koreatown!

My long lost Korean Mom finally found! This mom serves the best Beef Rib soup I've had so far that's still here in USA. Maybe you don't need to fly 14 hours to Korea just for the best Galbitang after all.

Sul Lung Tang was deliciously flavorful. The service was very attentive and the restaurant was very clean overall. Only downside is that their side dishes (kimchi) were way too sweet. But overall, it was a good experience.

The best Korean soup during this rainy season. Quickly service, authentic Korean food.
