“A hidden gem in Norwalk that truly feeds the soul. We arrived hungry right before the evening dinner rush and had the whole dining room to ourselves. The dining area was immaculate, quiet, and spacious. The food here is authentic, comforting, and deeply satisfying. Their soups are clearly the star of the menu: The Soups: The broth is rich, clean, and simmered to perfection, served in massive, hearty portions. The galbi-tang had huge, tender beef ribs practically falling off the bone, and the traditional seolleongtang was milky, comforting, and packed with tender meat. Suyuk / Pork Slices: The pork belly slices were tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented alongside pickled radish wraps, crisp cabbage, fresh garlic, and sliced jalapeños. Wrapping a bite with the spicy seasoned radish relish made for an incredible combination of textures and flavors. Banchan: Every side dish tasted fresh and homemade, especially the kkakdugi (radish kimchi) and fish cakes. What made the meal even more memorable was the host. The owner was exceptionally kind, warm, and attentive without ever hovering, letting us enjoy our dinner at our own pace. The restaurant is located inside the mall complex, we didn’t know they and it took us a while to find it. Follow the spa sign outside into the mall complex and it is just across the spa. If you are craving comforting, authentic Korean soups and dishes cooked with care, do not miss Palbang Seolleongtang. We’ll definitely be back!”
