The signature soup is tasty.
Seoul Soulongtang is a pretty popular restaurant located in the heart of Allston.
The lines are usually pretty long to enter here, so I would come early if you are looking to get a table. The service was quick and efficient, and they were able to get meals out within a timely manner.
The restaurant has a large seating area, and there used to be seating areas where you could sit on the floor and eat. I haven't seen anyone use it though for a couple of years now, and...read full review
Best Korean restaurant in town. Period. Have been coming to Soulongtang almost every month since 2020. Quality has not changed at all since then. Will always come back for the Kalbitang soup!! 😋

Seoul Soulongtang is a Korean restaurant known for its hearty stews. One popular choice is the spicy galbitang, a meaty stew with vermicelli noodles. The traditional soulongtang, a broth-based stew, can be seasoned at the table with S&P. Another favorite is the kimchi pajun, a seafood and kimchi pancake with a nice crunch. The Kalbi Tang combo, including short ribs in a bone broth with glass noodles, can be ordered spicy and comes with a spicy pork dish.
The cold noodles, especially the spicy cold noodle, are highly praised and considered the best in the Boston area. They are very refreshing and worth returning for. The restaurant has a clean and cozy atmosphere, and the staff is generally pleasant. The banchan, or side dishes, come with refills when asked, including fresh, well-fermented kimchi and radish kimchi that complement the mild broth. The signature Soulongtang — a traditional ox bone soup — is deeply satisfying, especially on a cold day or when comfort food is needed. The broth is rich, milky, and full of umami from hours of slow simmering, served unseasoned to allow diners to adjust the flavor with salt, pepper, and chopped scallions. The brisket is tender and flavorful, and the glass noodles have a perfect chewy texture.
Overall, Seoul Soulongtang is an excellent spot to enjoy Korean comfort food and hearty stews. It is cozy and casual, with quick and friendly service, making it a great place for an affordable, comforting meal. Whether dining solo or with friends, visitors often leave feeling full and happy, eager to return for dishes like the spicy cold noodle and the combo platter.
