"If I could give more than 5 stars, I would love to give more. This place is hands down the best place seolleongtang place I’ve ever been. The broth is rich and feeling very soothing, nourishing and my body is warm after eating it. I wish I live close by but I live in Portland and it’s 100% worth to drive here for the soup. We love to pair with seolleongtang and their meat platter. Their Mandu and pancake is very delicious as well. The place is cozy. The bathroom is clean."

"Got the mixed Seolleongtang which came with rice, kimchi, and daikon. The broth was very good, but the noodles and meat were just okay. The kimchi and daikon were the highlights for me. Will definitely be back to try their other dishes and get some containers of kimchi and daikon to go."

"It was my first time trying this restaurant and I was impressed by how hearty the Korean beef soup was! It reminded me of when I was in Korea last year~ the kimchi and radish kimchi were also delicious and fresh and not too fermented."

"Great spot for Seolleongtang! It's very creamy, flavorful and comforting on a cold day. The downside is the lack of banchan variety, and the seafood pancake was super oily."

"It seems the management, menu are changed since our last trip here over a year ago. They added tofu soup and other items to the menu. My favorite beef soup is still there. Their compliment freshly made crunchy kimchi has been the best kimchi we have had in greater Seattle area. Service as always has been amzingly friendly. The server made sure to bring out more kimchi when we finished tye first plate. Will return !!"
