Han Bat Sul Lung Tang

Sullungtang, alternatively romanized as seolleongtang, is a milky-white broth made from ox bones, brisket and occasionally other cuts of beef. Though you might see the dish pop up on other Korean restaurant menus, the consistently excellent version at Han Bat Sul Lung Tang is our favorite no-frills place in town whenever we’re craving a high-quality bowl of Korean beef soup for dine-in or takeout. Though prices have gone up in recent years, Han Bat’s clean-tasting broth, seasoned to your liking with salt, pepper, spring onions and red pepper paste, is still the finest sullungtang in town. A bowl of white rice and tender slabs of brisket, tongue or mixed cuts add substance to your bowl (available in medium or large), and with limited seating and little in the way of ambience, the move here for those dining in is to get in, eat quickly and get out.
