Hanbat Shul Lung Tang

"The cloudy bone marrow broth here is legendary, as are the tender slabs of brisket and various organ meats brimming in it. The menu is very simple, just seolleongtang. Build the meal with seasonings, kimchi, and rice, along with a dash of salt and a sprinkling of green onions." - Matthew Kang

"Koreatown's beloved soup spot known for its rich, beefy seolleongtang served with various cuts of beef and accompanied by an array of kimchi." - Eater Staff

"Everyone who grew up going to Koreatown or eating Korean food knows about the salutary and restorative effects of seolleongtang, a rich bone marrow soup full of tender beef and occasionally off-cuts like tripe and tendon simmered for hours and then served in bubbling stone pots. Han Bat, which has been serving Koreatown for decades and now has a third-generation owner, is one of the area’s most notable seolleongtang experts." - Rebecca Roland

"A meal at Han Bat Sul Lung Tang happens at warp speed. Before you put your jacket on the back of your chair, a waitress asks you what you want—an easy choice, considering there is basically one thing on the menu (sullungtang). Within a few minutes, a steaming bowl of cloudy white soup arrives stocked with rice noodles and long-braised beef parts  (we usually get the brisket), followed closely by the check, all before you’ve taken a bite. Don’t worry, your meal is not over—season the heavenly broth with salt, pepper, green onions, and radish kimchi, and experience why this place has been a local landmark for decades." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder
