Reviews
Seafood pancake was nice and oily, but it’s pretty easy for that to be good
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..
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.
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.
Our bill came to $60, and I paid with a $100 bill in cash. The server asked if we wanted change back, which was confusing. There was no reason to assume we intended to leave a $40 tip. Even a generous 25% tip would be around $15.
When I did request change, the server counted back the tip portion one bill at a time in a way that felt uncomfortable and, honestly, a bit insulting. I don’t know what her intentions were, but the interaction left a bad impression and took away from what should have been a pleasant meal.
It’s a shame, because the food itself is solid. I have chosen not to return over the lack of professionalism.
