Jong Ro Seol Lung Tang (종로설렁탕)

The food here is really good. Everything we tried was flavorful and hit the spot. However, we ordered the tofu soup with seafood, but it came out with meat instead, which really sucked for my mom, who doesn’t eat meat. That was a big disappointment and could’ve been avoided with more attention to detail. On top of that, the prices are crazy. $61 for beef spare ribs, $40 for pork bossam, and almost $30 for a seafood pancake? That's way higher than what you'd expect from a local Asian spot. It feels more like fine dining pricing, which is hard to justify.

The service could've been better. We had to wave down the waitresses a few times since no one really checked on us after taking our order and dropping off the food. We had to ask for things like refill on tea, napkins, extra utensils, and takeout boxes. It just felt like basic things were overlooked.

The vibe was fine.. Thankfully, the music gave the place a little life, otherwise it would've felt pretty quiet.

Good food, but the prices are way too steep for me to come back regularly.

As a Korean, I've had countless Soondaekookbab, but this is the first time I've come across such a tasteless restaurant. Just a heads up.

Seolleongtang (menu number 1), seafood soft tofu (menu number 16) are delicious
It is one of the most delicious restaurants in Korea.

This place absolutely surprised us ! To begin with, it's a whole korean community in that area, so when you entered in this restaurant, you have a sensation to be in one of the korean tv soap operas,  it's surreal!

The food is fantastic, the sides as kimichis are so delicious , the menue is large and everything looks delicious, absolutely fantastic! The two ladies who assisted us were superb!

For korean food lovers , please visit this place. You'll feel that you're in the heart if korea !!

So far I've had seolleongtang, tripe soft tofu, kimchi pork soft tofu, and bulgogi ttukbaegi.

Everything i had was good except for kimchi pork soft tofu, which tasted pretty bland (almost like kimchi soup)

Side dishes here tastes great. I love this kimchi and kkakdugi.

Would definitely go back again over and over. Foods at priced good. Service is also good.

We are not Korean, so this review does not comment on the authenticity but the favor only. The food was SO GOOD!We got the pork bone casserole (large) and the pork hock.The bone casserole (large) came with 10-12 pieces of giant bones, and each had a good amount of meat. For a girl, 2 bones will fill one up. For a guy, maybe 3-4 with a bit of rice will definitely fill one up. The three of us finished maybe 2/3 of the pot.The pork hock is my favorite! I enjoyed the bean sauce and the slices of meat and tendons. This dish is definitely for more adventurous eats. Still recommended for anyone to try.A feast for three came to be around $130. Not the cheapest but the food was very delicious!
