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...read full review

the dishes are of great quality and the owner is also very friendly. It’s also pretty affordable. better than many restaurants in Korean town.
As a Korean American and who is picky eating Korean food...this place is so delicious!!!!
It's inside the mall across from piooner spa.
Their Ban Chan is fresh and their kimchi is so good. We ordered the spicy tofu soup (soon du bu) with beef, it was perfect amount of spicy and generous beef portions.
After speaking with the owner, everything is home made and made from scratch!!! No wonder the quality is superb.
Their bossam (medium for 2) hit the spot!!!!

Palbang Seolleongtang is a husband and wife owned Korean restaurant inside a mall complex, across from a spa. It is a hidden gem in Norwalk that truly feeds the soul. The dining area is immaculate, quiet, and spacious, and parking is very convenient. The food is authentic, comforting, and deeply satisfying, and everything is home made and made from scratch. The soups are the star of the menu: 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. The ox bone soup was very light in flavor and more of a broth, and customers are supposed to add salt and pepper to taste. The suyuk / pork slices were tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented alongside pickled radish wraps, crisp cabbage, fresh garlic, and sliced jalapeños. The bossam had a really good flavor and balanced well with the radish and lettuce once some of the ssamjang that came with it was added. The spicy tofu soup (soon du bu) with beef was the perfect amount of spicy with generous beef portions, and the broth was super flavorful. The Korean chicken soup was enjoyed as is. The buchujeon and mandu are healthy. Every side dish tasted fresh and homemade, especially the kkakdugi (radish kimchi), fish cakes, and cabbage kimchi, which all have a nice home made flavor. The owner was exceptionally kind, warm, and attentive without ever hovering, and the owners were so welcoming and very nice. Service is a little slow because it is only the two of them running the entire restaurant, and it felt like eating in a relatives house. The ambiance feels like you're in Korea.
