This is my nostalgia almost like my 2nd home because of how much I love the food here. When I was a kid, I went to the one in La Palma and then the one that burned down in Rowland Heights and eventually had to close. So eventually my family would roll over to here since it was the closest to us.
I love their soups and the simple side dishes. It’s a very humble and simple place.
The day this place closes will be the end of an era, but I know this place will outlive me 🥲

We had number 3 and 7. The soup has balanced taste, light but deep.

As a Korean restaurant, the food quality is just okay. However, the price is very affordable compared to other places in this area, making it a good value if you're dining on a budget.

I’ve been going to this place for 30 years, and nothing has changed, in a good way. The service is always fast, the dishes come out very clean, and it’s a simple menu of mostly hot Korean soup. The kimchi is always fresh, and the soup is consistently the same every time. Even my parents from Korea look forward to going here when they visit. I would recommend this place to whoever likes hot Korean soup. Comfort foo at it’s best.

Hidden gem in Buena Park.
One of the best Korean beef bone broth soup in town. Price is reasonable ($16.55) and all the side dishes tasted homemade. It gets very busy during lunch hour. Service was excellent.
Parking is free is the shared parking lot.
Highly recommend.

Went to K spa and then here for lunch. It was conveniently located in the same plaza. Food was decent and we had a great time eating and chatting away. The only complaint might be its value? For the price we paid (each dish was about $18 plus tax and tip) the portion wasn't that big.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at this restaurant was deeply disappointing and needs to be addressed. While the food itself was average and service time reasonable, the issue began when it came time to pay.
When I asked for the check, the server initially brought over a handwritten slip on yellow paper with no itemized pricing, no taxes, and no transparency—just a vague summary of what we ordered. I requested a proper receipt showing detailed pricing, and when she returned with it, I noticed the listed price for a regular Sul Lung Tang was $16.55—despite the menu stating it was approximately $16.24.
I politely questioned the discrepancy, and the server’s response was completely unacceptable. She admitted they adjusted the prices in their system because they “didn’t want to deal with coins” and had “too many pennies.” In other words, they are rounding prices up on every customer without disclosing it—and pocketing the difference.
This is not only misleading and unprofessional, but it’s borderline unethical. Customers should never be charged more than what is listed on the menu, especially without notice. And to still ask for a tip after knowingly overcharging patrons? That’s a serious red flag.
I hope management sees this and reconsiders both its pricing practices and the training of its staff. Transparency and honesty are the bare minimum in customer service—and unfortunately, that was missing during my visit.
They have Good soups, if you looking for that's about it

Food is OK but service is really bad. The ahjumma has no good manners… go to yong dong or I hope other seollongtang restaurants comes next door!

I'm sorry, the chicken gomtang is so, so, so tasteless. I just put the chicken in plain water.

일하는 아줌마가 짠돌이에요. We spent almost $80 and she refused to give extra onion. The service is garbage but the food is great and the only reason I support this place is because my parents like the taste.
