Seoul Soulongtang

"This spot is named after seolleongtang, a cloudy Korean broth made out of ox bones, which you modify to your taste at the table with scallions, salt, and pepper. The menu here also features other hearty Korean soups and beef and pork entrees. Make the most out of the menu by getting a combo platter of both soup and an entree, and don’t skip the haemool pajun (seafood pancake)." - Lala Thaddeus, Terrence Doyle

"Having to say goodbye to big, brothy noodle soups is one of the few downsides of summer. But you don’t have to do that at this casual spot on Comm Ave. In addition to the signature soulongtang - a milky white ox bone soup that basically doubles as a blanket in a bowl during the winter - this place serves some seriously good cold noodles in broth that are covered with ice in addition to brisket, egg, and vegetables. Just about everything on the menu is huge, cheap, and comes out really quickly, so come here with friends, start by splitting a seafood pancake and make it one of your year-round go-to’s." - dan secatore

"Seoul Soulongtang is a Korean noodle soup place that you should keep in mind all year. In the winter, the milky white ox bone soulongtang is a perfect antidote to the fact that you have to walk to class over a windy eight-lane highway, and when it’s hot, you can get noodles served over ice that are the perfect antidote to the fact that you have to walk over a shadowless eight-lane highway. Other than the soups, it’s got a good menu of affordable Korean stuff, and you should always split the kimchi pancake to start." - dan secatore

Seoul Soulongtang - Review - Allston - Boston - The Infatuation

"The special at this casual Korean spot in Allston is as the name implies, the soulongtang - a milky white ox bone soup that should probably be the official meal of sh*tty March days when your convinced that spring is a social construct. But the rest of the menu is good, too, and you should remember to start every meal here with a giant, flaky, kimchi pancake." - Dan Secatore

Popular place. The kalbi soup (kalbitang) was spicy and flavorful. The spicy pork dish (jaeyook bokum) was garlicky and full of flavor. The waiters were attentive and refilled my bon chon and that was awesome.

Their specialties are ox bone soup varieties. Always enjoy quick casual but hearty meals there with LA galbi(bbq shortribs), ugeoji galbitang(beef broth with nappa cabbage), crispy seafood pancakes, spicy pork stir fry...In summer season they offer cold noodle in beef broth, which you can order for extra noodle for $3 more.

The food is incredibly good, and the staff are very friendly. If you wanna have a Korean food, Seoul Seolleongtang is the place to go! Highly recommended!

Perfect hot soup for a chilly night! Their specialty, soulongtang is very good and would be the must to order. We did a combo with the soup, spicy pork and rice. Good enough for 2 pax together with the slection of banchan (sidedishes). We also had haemool pajeon which is a little too oily for my liking but very tasty when paired with the sauce. Will be back as finally found a place that has soulongtang. Maybe try it with the kalbi comobo. Seems like grilled dishes is only available early on in the dinner service.

This dinner is good in winter, but it is very crowded. If you are a group of 5 or more, you may have to wait for more than an hour. And for more than 5 people, tipping becomes mandatory (18%) even if you wait a long time.

I went to Seoul Soulongtang after church with mom, dad, Pauline eemo, and not John! I ate my healthy cold Korean noodle soup and healthy pork salad. I liked my healthy cold Korean noodle soup and healthy pork salad. I liked everything. I would like to come again with my family.

Seoul Soulongtang is a pretty popular restaurant located in the heart of Allston. The lines are usually pretty long to enter here, so I would come early if you are looking to get a table. The service was quick and efficient, and they were able to get meals out within a timely manner. The restaurant has a large seating area, and there used to be seating areas where you could sit on the floor and eat. I haven't seen anyone use it though for a couple of years now, and it seems like it had been converted to where they store delivery orders. The kitchen is open and you can see into the kitchen at some tables. As for the food, it is alright but the most recent visit I thought it was a little lacking. I usually get the Budae Jjigae, which comes with the sauce on the bottom. The sauce eventually diffuses throughout the soup to have the signature spice. The Budae Jjigae is very good, and I would definitely recommend it if you are hungry. In comparison, I also tried the Yookgae Jang. I expected it to be spicy and with good flavor, but I was disappointed to see that the broth was watery and had no real flavor to it. It just tasted like water with a bit of diluted spice. The prices here are pretty good for the portion size, and I would definitely come here for a casual dinner with friends.

As the weather gets colder, the desire to have a hearty hot bowl of soup begins to build up in a matter of seconds every single hour I’m awake. It’s a fiend that has to be constantly fed and/or suppressed less it unleashes wrathful hell on everything around it. That’s how this establishment made it to one of my lists of must-visits during the colder months. They serve a rather unique broth for those new to this particular style of Korean soups - really hearty but really clean, seemingly flavorless but also bold once enough salt is introduced. My introduction to the dish Seolleongtang took place almost two decades ago. I was sick - very sick - and had absolutely no appetite (an obvious recipe for further disaster). A close friend’s grandmother found out and made a large pot’s worth of this broth and “demanded” that she force me to consume a lot of it. I still laugh when I think about it especially my friend’s facial expressions when she showed up with it. Long story short, she didn’t need much effort to convince me. The clean scent was enough for me to be willing try it; the gentle but hearty contrast was enough for me to keep going until most of the pot was gone. It sure got me up and well again overnight and made me a permanent fan of this potent broth. Seolleongtang is pretty much the same almost everywhere except for the spice condiments that they offer with it. As I prefer mine just with sea salt, I’m just happy whenever there is a place that serves a decent portion of it whenever the weather is cold. If you’ve never had this soup before, I’d definitely recommend it to nourish your soul. My only tip is…don’t hesitate to keep adding salt until the flavor pops for you.
