Young Dong Restaurant

The 20 Best Korean Restaurants in Los Angeles

"Though most seollongtang fans will rave about Han Bat, don’t sleep on Young Dong, a longtime Koreatown institution that serves the dish with a clearer broth as opposed to the milky, cloudy rendition served at most Korean restaurants. But the soup is still rich and flavorful and doesn’t skimp on beef. Make sure to pair each bite with the restaurant’s stellar kimchi that ties the meal together." - Matthew Kang

"This Korean noodle restaurant serves ul-keun chlorella dongchimi noodles, a spicy dish with crunchy raw vegetables and a tangy, mildly sweet broth, perfect for cutting through the midsummer LA heat." - Eater Staff

Their Korean-style beef stew used to be delicious. I ordered Galbi-tang, but the beef had an unpleasant odor. I could not eat any of the beef. However, their Sulung-tang is still good.

Casual, local sul lung tang specialist known for their clear broth. Good solid beef flavor. Nice cuts of beef. Kimchi is fine but I liked Han Bat’s kimchi more. Seating is indoor only. They have a private large parking lot. Credit cards are accepted.

I like clear seollungtang, which is why I came here. But, the restaurant didn’t appear too clean. And, their radish kimchi that I got the second time around tasted different. Lastly, the brisket in the soup tasted funny. I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Nice soup and Korean food. Very nice and soup tastes meaty also which is good. Authentic. Staff needs to speak more English, but I could still communicate with them well. Repeat visit after first coming here. Craving for more Korean food, and this is much better in terms of serving size and quality than Han Bat a few streets down.

A place with a real taste and vibe of Seoul from the 80s and 90s. The meat soup is simmered to perfection, really deep in flavor. It brings back those nostalgic memories of Seoul citizens.

Really enjoy this neighborhood restaurant! Sipee casual mom and pop's joint. Always get #3 Beef Bottom Brisket Soup but will eventually try the short rib soup. This is a great comfort food when you want something simple, clean and delicious. Side kimchi and pickled jalapeño are also yum!

This sullungtang joint is super local place with very good soup stock. Different than other sullongtang restaurants, their soup stock is not the heavy white soup type. If you prefer the light stock version with very good beef flavor, this is the place. Kim chi and pickled radishes are excellent. They have a free parking lot behind the store.

Ordered the 도가니탕 and really enjoyed that. Good quality kimchi and soup ingredients. Definitely would come here again when I'm craving that!
