"A decades-old seolleongtang specialist now run by a third-generation owner, known for restorative, slow-simmered beef-bone soup served in bubbling stone pots. The near-windowless dining room is lit by bluish fluorescent lights and encourages quiet, noodle-house-style eating; the intentionally mild broth is typically seasoned tableside with sea salt and pepper and brightened with kkakdugi, kimchi, sliced green onions, and spoonfuls of rice for a comforting, hangover-curing meal." - Rebecca Roland
