This place has the BEST soup in Seoul and I'm Korean so I've been to a lot of soup places. It comes out bland, and it's supposed to because you add your own condiments. The old grandmas are super nice and the food comes out in 5 minutes. This place is a must if you like Korean meat soups!

Avoid at all cost, 4 pieces of premium beef slice and not even tender, soup is very bland and guess what - a bowl of rice with 4 beef slice cost 20,000won.
Service was very good but the food is just not worth it - I don't want to go back even if the price tag is 5000won!

Simple menu. Only 4 items to choose from. A meal in itself consisting of beef slices (add tripes if desired) and rice. All in a bowl of ox bone broth. Clear soup and condiments to your taste. Not to forget the usual kimchi on the side.

If you want some Korean beef broth soup, try this. As other reviews stated, it is not cheap. The cheapest soup was $12 but the soup is good. It looked small but I was full when I was done. Perfect if you have hangover. Their Kimchi and radish kimchi were very tasty. Try. It is easy to find. Walk toward the Myung Dong Cathedral from Lotte. Pass the theater and make a left at the OliveYoung store. The restaurant is on the right with a big white sign.
