Han Bat Sul Lung Tang
About
Han Bat Sul Lung Tang, on 5th St in K-Town, is an old-school spot that serves pretty much just seolleongtang, milky beef-bone soup. The broth is mild, so season it yourself with salt and scallions, and the radish and cabbage kimchi are refilled for free. It's where you go when you're hungover or just want something warm.
Jasmine says
The restorative power of a bowl of white broth.
