Two words: seafood pancake. This place nails the seafood pancake - it’s thin, crispy, not too oily, large, and yes; loaded with seafood! The soups here are nourishing on a cold day. We got the ox knee soup which tbh was a bit bland, it’s only got ox knee in it. But the rice cake soup was delish.

This is a great home in the wall restaurant that is family owned. There is a mix of halmeoni and haraboji and non-koreans. We ordered the Ox Tail Soup - KKORIGOMTANG (꼬리곰탕) and it was good, just slightly under seasoned, but there is salt to flavor at taste. The Seafood Panacke - HAEMULPAJEON (해물파전) is very tasty and crispy. The Chicken Bulgogi was my least favorite dish, just underwhelming IMHO. Great restaurant overall.

Legendary OG spot with great authentic vibes and convenient location/parking. I go for their soups and my favorite is their gamjatang but their pork bulgogi is also the best I’ve ever had and none of their dishes have ever missed. Support a local family owned business dispensing delicious dishes!

Great little hole in the wall, friendly fast service! Safe parking as well if that is a concern. You get the full experience, with korean news TV and korean posters. I definitely will be back to try other dishes as well!

Homey. Great service. Banchan all crunchy and given right away. I had rice cake bone broth and a delish seafood pancake. They have many healing soups. Im embarrassed i usually go get bbq and not tried these healing soups sooner. There are single folks and families alike! Love this place and cant wait to come back!

Yuggaejang and dolsot bibimbab were so good. The side dishes are all perfectly done!
This is THE place for bone soup. None of that weak af diluted stuff you can get from wholefoods. I’m talking about full bodied collagen rich soup paired with a spoonful of perfectly cooked rice beading individually with fragrance for every bite. Try any menu item with Gomtang for the bone soup. Do ask for the hot barley tea

The restaurant has a spacious setting, and the food is decent with generous portion sizes. However, it's a bit pricey compared to other nearby options.

Best Korean food in the neighborhood! Their signature soups & hot pots are SO filling, warming, & delicious. Highly recommend the Yuggaejang & Gamjajeongol, but everything I’ve gotten there has been amazing & their kimchi is the best. If you’re ever feeling under the weather, the Samgyetang will heal you right up!

I moved to Oakland from NYC last year and I’ve been looking for a Korean restaurant that gave me all the feelings of home. Seoul Gomtang is everything I could’ve asked for and more. The menu focuses on home style cooked Korean dishes that are not readily available at other restaurants where typically they cater to those searching for BBQ. Service was wonderful and the taste of the food immaculate. I’ll definitely be going back. I am very glad to have happened upon this gem of a restaurant. 감사합니다 ?
