Specializing in rich, milky ox bone soup with various beef cuts
"The rules of Han Bat are simple: bring cash and order the seolleongtang. The entire menu practically revolves around the milky white ox bone soup with glass noodles, and the only decision to be made is which cuts of beef you want. Our go-to is the ox tail—the meat is incredibly buttery, letting go of the bone the way we wish we could let go of our collective fascination with Elon Musk. The broth has a very light beef flavor that can be seasoned to taste with some salt and fresh green onions, with each spoonful of soothing soup feeling more effective than your Headspace meditation. And since this place is rarely packed, it’s easy to walk in and just grab a table." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, sam faye, josh barnett
"Hidden away in the back of a parking lot on Lawrence Avenue, this unassuming Korean spot specializes in ox bone soup. Called seolleongtang, the milky white broth is known as a hangover remedy because of its simple-yet-comforting flavor. Each bowl also contains choice of brisket, flank steak, tripe, tendon, or tongue. It’s accompanied by rice and kimchi and can be seasoned to taste with salt, chopped green onions, and chili paste." - Naomi Waxman
"Those in the know head to this unassuming Lincoln Square spot for a Seoul specialty — ox bone soup. The comforting milky white broth, called seolleongtang, is teeming with noodles and choice of cow parts such as brisket, flank steak, tripe, tendon, and tongue. The dish can also be seasoned with salt, chopped green onions, and chili paste, and is served alongside rice and kimchi." - Ashok Selvam
"The rules of Han Bat are simple: bring some cash and lose yourself in a bowl of seolleongtang. The milky white ox bone soup with glass noodles is the main focus of this casual Lincoln Square spot’s short menu, and the only decision to make is which cuts of beef you want. Our favorite is the ox tail—tender chunks of meat floating in a beef broth that’s seasoned to taste with salt, fresh green onions, and the zesty radish kimchi that comes on the side. There are only a few tables, but it’s rarely packed so grabbing a seat is easy." - john ringor, adrian kane
