The Best Soups in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Koreatown’s Han Bat is a soup institution. The family-owned restaurant was first founded in South Korea in 1953 before it moved stateside in 1987. Since then, multiple generations within the same family have spent hours slowly simmering down ox bones into a rich, opaque broth for seollongtang. The soup comes out in a black bowl, with steam gently rolling off the surface and slices of beef like brisket, tendon, or tribe just visible as they dance just under the surface. Salt, pepper, and scallions can be added to taste. Alternate bites of the seollongtang with rice, pa-kimchi (scallion kimchi), cubed kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and classic cabbage kimchi. For a true Han Bat experience, try going for breakfast, and don’t forget to park in the back." - Rebecca Roland
