My friend recommended this spot to me and wow... this place is seriously underrated. I normally go to Han Bat Sul Lung Tang, Jun Tong Sul Lung Tang, and Shin Chon Sul Lung Tang, but honestly, this one is better than all of them to me. My new fave spot! I ordered the sul lung tang and it was so good. The broth was rich, milky, and comforting. Perfect for hangovers, sick days and cold weather. They provide salt on the side, so you can season it exactly how you like (I added everything). Portion's generous as well. The banchan was tasty, and the ahjumma was really friendly too. I got it to-go this time, but I'm definitely coming back to dine in and try the galbi tang and samgyetang. Also, I didn't realize until I got there that this spot used to be the OG Beverly Soon Tofu location. Total nostalgia.. There's parking out front but I imagine it getting busy during weekends/dinner time. There's also street parking if needed. read more

Great food, they have some amazing deals there especially for to-go on Tuesdays! We came in on the fly, just had some 표고 우거지 해장국 and 도가니탕. Service was quick, not too crowded I'm thinking due to the to-go specials haha. The inside was cool which was great on a hot day like today, and it was pretty quiet inside so it is good for some small talk. The lady at the counter was real nice and very friendly! We had come because a friend recommended the place. Pleasantly surprised and will definite be back for next time :) read more

This spot is underrated! Warm and comforting soup on a cold day & a parking lot in Ktown?!! I went on a Friday and there was only a few people eating during lunch. The soup is perfect if you are missing that homemade korean food. The banchan was great especially the Kkakdugi! Service was amazing, they started with providing us warm Barley tea. We got refills on banchan and they were happy to do so. I would come back to try more things soon! read more

Good quality soup with the best customer service. We ordered beef bone soup with mixed ox bone soup. We thought "mixed" meant combination of different cuts of meat with oxtail. But it's actually a mixture of tripe, slice beef, intestine, and possibly beef tongue. Flavor was good but next time i will stick with my beef ribs soup! Also... their side dishes were so goood tooo read more

Came here for their sulungtang this time and it satisfied the craving. The owners are so friendly and attentive. I typically have to ask for more side dishes at other places but the server made her rounds to every table asking if we would like more. I love their purple rice because they add more than just black rice; there is oats/barely, red beans and garbanzo beans so it makes it heartier. The one thing I will say is that there wasn't as too much meat. I still left the restaurant feeling satisfied though. I'll definitely be coming back to support this business. Parking: free parking in lot read more

A day in LA with my mom and sister. Mom hasn't had Korean food in a while, and what better spot to treat her than in the heart of Koreatown? Parking: Parking in LA sucks a--, but thankfully they have a small private lot AND it's free! Ambiance/Environment: It's extremely small inside with about nine tables. No outdoor seating. Very casual spot. Clean tables, chairs, and floors. There's consistent customers coming in n out. They had a lunch rush around 12-14:00. Service: We were greeted and seated immediately once we entered. Each worker was courteous, quick, & efficient. They mainly speak Korean with limited English. Foods: 1) Short Rib Soup - Exactly as described. They were not shy with the short ribs. The soup was very flavorful and clean. It was also served with clear noodles that was cooked well. 2) Sogogi Suyuk - This is served with tender beef slices and ox knee bone at the center. The beef slices were filling, and the soup was hearty. The broth was rich and milky. One of the workers taught me to eat the beef slices by rolling it up with the chive salad and dipping it in the sauce. Wow, I'm so thankful she showed me this. 3) Special Haejanguk - "Bold and hearty Korean hangover soup." This included generous cuts of beef tripe and flavorful beef intestines. The soup was slightly spicy with a nice kick. The tripe and intestines tasted as expected. We ate this with rice and banchan. 4) Banchan - They offer a variety of banchan! Pricing: This is LA, so the prices didn't shock me lol. Koreans don't mess around when it comes to their soup and banchan. We absolutely enjoyed everything! read more

There are many sullungtang joints in Ktown; Han Bat being the most famous. Personally, I think SYTK is way better for it has more choices and the quality is just as good, if not better. I especially love their radish kimchi. I could eat that all day. I'd always buy some to go whenever I come. read more

Came here for dinner and it's a no frills place. The place wasn't packed but it was all Korean grandparents which you know means that the food is legit and authentic. It was also super affordable. We both got the galbitang and the flavor was delicious. The only downside was the banchan. For some reason I didn't care for them this time. I usually love kimchi at Korean restaurants but for this one, it was just okay. I'll definitely be back for good Korean soup again. read more

SYTK Sullungtang - Galbitang - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

No frills, straightforward kind service and good food. I had the ox bone soup and ordered one to go since it was so affordable due to the 5 year special pricing. They offer about five ish side dishes that can be refilled. The staff is quite attentive and saw when I finished a few and offered to refill it without my asking. Soup was piping hot, good portion and had enough meat and noodles to check every box for me. Will def return for either an early bird deal or one of their take out deals. Appreciate the free lot in front for easy access as well read more

SYTK Sullungtang - Menu outdoors. - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

SYTK hits the spot on a cloudy, misty day. It's the perfect weather for a hearty bowl of seollongtang. Taking it to go doesn't take away from the quality at all. The soup is rich, and the combination of noodles and rice with the beef creates a very satisfying meal. They don't skimp on the meat either, so you're getting a good amount in every serving. The broth is a great base, but you've got to season it yourself. Adding the salt is a necessity to bring out the depth, and that red paste gives it the perfect kick. It transforms the dish into something much more flavorful. It's a reliable, comforting meal that's hard to beat when the weather is gloomy. I'd definitely grab this again for a cozy night in. read more

We came here on a whim and left very impressed. Their sullungtang was perfect! I gulped every last drop. Their banchan were tasty. Service was great. They checked in on us a few times just to make sure we enough banchan. Unsure which one my husband got but he ate all of his too haha. He doesn't even like soup!! After reading some reviews, we will come back next time to try their galbitang. Is someone can tell us how to order sullungtang with short ribs, that would be helpful too haha. read more

I know it's been a long time since SYTK took over the spot where Beverly Soon Tofu used to be, but for some reason I never got around to trying STYK until a about a week ago. Big mistake on my part, because I've definitely been missing out. I have the tastebuds of a baby when it comes to sulungtang and I'm pretty picky...it can't the strong, smelly kind, and it can't have parts other than brisket. SYTK has the "right" kind, and it's absolutely delicious! It comes out boiling hot in the stone bowl, and with an assortment of kimchi and banchan. I also LOVE that they're open morning til night and every day of the week because my hangovers definitely don't take any days off. Oh, and the prices are just absolutely amazing...great value. SYTK is definitely top 2 for me when it comes to sulungtang. 5 stars without a doubt! read more

Wow, this place is true gem. The setting is unpretentious, small family run vibe. I ended up getting the beef rib soup, which is some of the best that I've ever had. Typically I find the soup a little under flavored, but not in this case.! Incredibly rich, savory, and balanced in flavor. The Bachchan was excellent as well. The kimchi was nice and munchy with a hint of acidity, which I truly appreciate. Service was excellent, the waiter was very friendly likely one of the co-owners. Would 100% come back here again, one of my new favorite restaurants in k town . read more

Omg this place is such a hidden (but blown up by TikTok) gem!!! They are so deserving of all the business. I love that it's such a homey environment. The extra good food and side dishes are all just bonuses. I love that once you're seated, you're given barley tea. Right after you order, a tray of side dishes come to your table including kimchi, marinated bean sprouts, fish cakes, and more. I always end up getting seconds of them because the sweet servers are so attentive and offer as they notice you enjoying the food. Their classic ox bone soup is always so consistent. The clear, collagen-filled broth comes piping hot with the best beef brisket slices and some this rice noodle vermicelli. They give you a big container of diced green onions and you can put as many heaps of it as you want in your soup. I always put some of the kimchi juice into mine and a few pinches of salt. It's so good and the prices are so reasonable that I'm going to make it my goal to try all of their soups!! My friend got the shiitake beef soup and if you're looking for more ingredients and depth than the classic clear ox bone soup, then this is a good one too! The only thing I have to mention that's an negative is that once, my bf got the mixed ox bone soup and it had a bit too much tripe opposed to brisket or any other cut of meats, but that's it. read more

One of the best breakfast specials around. Delicious food at amazing price and great service. Banchan quality is great also. I'm going to be a regular for breakfast... haven't tried lunch dishes yet though. I'll be doing that soon. read more

My absolute favorite place for sul lung tang. I always look forward to eating here when I'm traveling towards the west side. The soup is just perfection. It is light, flavorful and so freaking healthy. The banchan is also really top notch and trust me, I judge a place by the banchan. CLASSIC OX BONE SOUP now increased a tiny bit to $13.47 which is a crazy deal!!!! The older lady is super kind and sweet. She's not always here but when she is, it feels like home. I add salt but my friends don't. I really think you need ti add some to bring out the flavors and a ton of the green onions which are nice and mild. Parking lot is medium small, street parking available too. read more

Hands down the best Sullungtang I've ever had! My friend recommended this restaurant highly so I had to check it out while in town from nyc for a work trip. The owners are so welcoming and the restaurant has much a comforting feel to it. The banchan was a great start with super tasty fish cakes and stellar kimchi. The Sullungtang had so much meat and the broth was perfect-- I hardly added any of the salt or pepper because of how good it was on its own. I finished every last drop, and definitely took all of my willpower not to lick the bowl haha. Thank you so much to SYTK Sullungtung for the perfect meal. I'll have to come back to LA for more Side note: also want to thank the girl I spoke to while I was there-- she paid for my food and I didn't realize until after she left, so if you ever see this, that was the sweetest thing and I'll never forget that! Thank you so much for making this trip even more special!!!! read more

It's bittersweet SYTK took over Beverly Soon Tofu, but I love them for their ox bone soup. It's definitely great value and quality for what you get. I get the mixed ox bone soup which comes with brisket, tripe, etc. I love all the banchans that come with it and overall it's pure comfort food. No frills, just good soup. They also have specials and combos throughout the week. read more

Yes, come here for the first meal of the day. End of conversation, thank you. just kidding, hear me out. I highly recommend this place as it has the best value, really good service, and the food just hits the spot. Whether you need a hangover cure or you are just craving sul lung tang, this is the place to come. Their value is unbeatable in this area. It is a hole in the wall spot with maybe around 30 seats inside, but parking is free. Their broth is rich and comes out boiling hot. They give you cut up scallions, salt, pepper for you to add. Their side dishes (banchan) are really good especially their raddish. They have different banchan every now and then. They have specials every single day from 7 am to 10 am, $10.96 plus tax for a bowl of sul lung tang. They also do take out. Awesome place. 100% recommend. read more

My friend and I came here on a Saturday around noon and was full. They, unfortunately, don't allow dogs so we got take out. Their portions are generous, very attentive to all of the side dishes, salt, chili paste, and all that comes with the take out. The ladies working there are so friendly and nice. If you want genuine soulful food to bring you back to life twice as good, go. If you're looking for fancy dining, find elsewhere. read more

I came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch and luckily there was no wait. The menu is very simple with about 10-15 dishes offered. We decided to go with the spicy beef soup and the ox knee soup which both came with a side of rice. The ox knee soup tasted very hearty and came with a bunch of tendon and meat and the spicy beef soup was also packed with beef, bean sprouts, and some vermicelli noodles. The banchan provided were all very flavorful and fresh (free refills). The portion was large enough that we couldn't finish and took the rest home. Would definitely come again! read more

How have we not tried this sooner?! Named after the owner's father, this spot is dedicated to serving Korean comfort classics the traditional way. We tried their sullungtang which is simmered for 48hrs and comes with kkakdugi (radish kimchi juice) gold pot experience! Their short beef rib soup was tender and paired so well with its dipping sauce. It was also our first time trying sogogi suyuk which is beef slices with ox knee bone. This was so good with chive salad! read more

Finally trying this spot after my friends have been raving about it all week. I believe this is such an underrated spot because it is just so good, especially with the price you get, you can't go wrong with it. They are most known for their soups. I got their Galbitang and it was unbelievable. I've tried other korean places for this dish and this spot is easily one of the best I've ever tried. The soup is so hearty, warm, and full of flavor. The soup comes with Galbi, or short ribs, green onions, onions, jujube, and clear noodles at the bottom. On the side, you get white rice (can also opt in for purple rice if you'd like), a variety of side dishes, and dipping sauce for your Galbi. I'm definitely coming back to try their other dishes because this place definitely hit the spot. The servers were amazing. They were attentive and do a great job checking in on whether you need an thing. The restaurant itself is quite small inside with limited seating, but if you don't mind the wait, go for it. I went for lunch so there was no wait at all. I will be recommending this to people!!! read more

Delicious soup. Good portions to fill you up. No A/C, so be prepared. Only one Waitress is serving, and very nice.

Wow walking into this restaurant made me think I was truly back in Korea. SYTK Sullungtang is SOOOO much better than Hanbat Sullungtang down the street. I would literally never ever ever go back to Hanbat in favor of coming back here to SYTK every single time. Why would you ever go to Hanbat which charges almost double the price for half the portion? The service at SYTK was impeccable, the owners of this place are so nice and kept constantly refilling our banchan because we kept demolishing all the side dishes. The bean sprouts, kimchi, fish cakes, greens, and radish banchan were all so delicious (see the empty plates in the pic). My boyfriend ordered the mix Sullungtang which came with brisket, tongue, tripe, and intestine. He liked the soup base better than the one at Sun Non Dang. I ordered the Napa cabbage and short rib soup which came with so much protein, I finished half of it and still have another half of my meal to eat as leftovers at home! The soup was salted perfectly, the cabbage was so soft, and the meat on the short ribs was incredibly tender. I look forward to coming back here and supporting this small mom and pop shop anytime I'm craving a nice, warm, comforting Korean soup. Next time, we hope to try a different soup and also order their mixed meat plate which we saw another table order. I hope they never go out of business!!! What an amazing find this place is! read more

I know it seems like I'm crazy about this place but honestly it's because it's that good! I tried the pollack roe today out of curiosity since I've had their sullungtang chronically and wanted to try something new during their morning special and to no one's surprise it did not miss. The broth was incredibly clean, filled with dried pollack and I loved how flavorful it still was despite that. Service was solid as well as she was consistent about banchan refills. Ambiance was quiet since it was the morning but needless to say I will be back! read more

The soup was delicious here, but the meat was super chewy and not fall off the bone. My ox bone soup was more like a clear broth than a milky soup and sadly the radish kimchi also tasted pretty off.

We dropped by for a classic soup and rice breakfast at around 9am on a Saturday, and a few people definitely had the same idea. They have a Good Morning Special everyday from 7-10am, so we tried out their seollungtang and haejangguk. They had a few side dishes, including kimchi, radish kimchi, seasoned beansprouts, and pickled Korean peppers when we were there. We wished the kimchi had been fermented a bit longer - it seemed like someone had just made it recently, so the flavor wasn't fully there yet. The radish kimchi was a little on the sweeter side. The beansprouts were well seasoned, and the peppers were solid, too. Now, for the mains: -Seollungtang: the ox bone soup was tasty! The meat wasn't super super soft, but it was soft enough for me. There were some noodles in there, too. They brought out a container of green onion, and there is salt in a small container on the table to add to your liking. It was comforting and definitely something we'd get again. This broth was super satisfying. -Haejangguk: there's a clear mushroom presence in the flavor, along with the beef, napa cabbage, and beansprouts. We really enjoyed the veggies in this one. The meat in this wasn't super tender, but the soup was decent. Finally, they had a free shared lot with a decent number of open spots (at least at that time of morning!), which is always nice when you're in Ktown. Overall, we will definitely be back when we have another seollungtang craving or if we want another bre read more

Oh my gosh that was maybe the best meal I've had in my life and I wouldn't consider myself a foodie like that. We came here on a Tuesday night around 8PM and got parking easily and were seated right away. There are two women running the place who don't speak English very well but are very kind and attentive. The restaurant is nothing fancy inside but the food is spectacular. We ordered the haejangguk and galbitang and I actually finished my soup all the way down to the last drop. I highly recommend visiting this spot. It is so. Good. And quite underrated in Koreatown! read more
