Really enjoyed the soup and how you could decide for yourself how much salt and pepper to add. Also, as most korean restaurants do they serve banchan/side dishes, which is great. The kimchi in the banchan was very bland though. My only dislike about this place is that they appear to want you to leave as soon as possible. I was not yet done with my meal and there goes the check to pay. I understand there is usually a line here during the dinner time but still the servers could exercise abit more patience.

My ordered dish was a little salty. The beef soup was good, but galbitang meat with the bone was not soft to eat.

Great restaurant for classic Korean foods. Recommend the combo menus for either Seoleong-tang or Galbi-tang with a choice of grilled meat. There are some meter parkings in the front by chance. Or try meter parkings on Harvard ave and make walk.

Craving for some hot Korean soup in a cold day in Boston, this place didn't disappoint. Good food, good service and reasonably priced.
Very delicious food and fast service, but the restaurant was small. I love it!

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.

Beef bone broth is the focus here, along with a variety of presentations and other options. Korean food has a strong health focus, and the Banchan service here is a reflection of that, as well as the extensive nutritiarian menu.This rates high on our taste-to-dollar ratio scale, and we’ll definitely be going back.The service is very businesslike and not what you’d call friendly, and we felt rushed when they plunked the check down on us in the middle of the meal. They don’t take reservations, they get busy, and the first thing you see on arrival is a hand-lettered sign outside saying “line up here..” We were ok arriving before 6 on a weekday. They may have great food, but it feels like they want your table more than your repeat business.

Hands down one of my favorite Korean spots in the Allston-Brighton area. Despite always being busy when I've stopped in, the service is always prompt and efficient. I've since moved away and into the Metrowest suburbs, but if I'm in the area, there's a good chance I'm stopping here for seollongtang. The seafood pancake is also very good. In addition, I'm always impressed by how generous the restaurant is with the number of complementary banchan side dishes they bring you. If you're looking for a delicious bowl of soup or plate of Korean barbecue especially during the cold Boston winters, this is a solid pick.
This is a great Korean restaurant in Boston.
