It's probably due to them taking your order while in line so that almost as soon as you sit down your food arrives. The banchan was really good especially the green one which I think was mustard greens. We order the Bossam (medium) and Spicy Seafood Kalguksu The Bossam was delicious but maybe a bit too much fat for my taste but I think that's just personal preference. What totally blew us away was the spicy seafood kalguksu. The broth was so savory and the noodles were silky and bouncy. Definitely getting this again but my hubby might do his with extra spice. The portions are huge so meant to be shared and you will have leftovers. The only thing they were stingy with was napkins. I might have to bring my own Kleenex next time.

Love Kalguksu? This is a MUST visit if you're in K-Town! Parking is available via valet, though you…read moremay be lucky finding street parking too a few / several blocks away. There is also the option to visit H Mart and get validation with a purchase there, of course. Try to come towards the beginning / end of dinner service, because coming during rush hour may result in a 30-45 minute wait - very worth the wait, though! My friend and I visit on occasion and enjoy their Clam Kalguksu, which is a dish you may not find at other Kalguksu places. The clams are always fresh, clean and free of sand. I'm always impressed with how well they can mask the clamminess and taste of the sea with the spices in this dish. Their other dishes like bossam and chicken porridge. The bossam is decent, though I wouldn't recommend the chicken porridge. The chicken porridge gets thick and dry fairly easily. If you don't enjoy it fast, it will become a chore to eat! During rush hour, you may also need to get your own utensils / ladle because the staff may forget. Plan also to eat fast, too, because they may subtly rush you with the bill... after all, they do often get lines out the door!

Seafood Premium Yukgaejang with Fresh Pasta: A great selection of seafood. The fresh pasta is chewy and soft. It is spicy with a hint of sweetness. Cold Soup Buck Wheat Noodle: a great selection in the summer. The pickled turnip adds a great crunch and flavor to the dish. The noodles chewy and greatly flavored. Premium Blood Sausage with Glass noodles: There's a lot of blood sausages, so it's a great dish to have both blood sausages and glass noodles. Premium Bossam Boiled in Various Herbs (S): the portion is relatively large and the meat is tender. I really like the side dishes that came along with the bossam, particularly the pickled plum. The staffs are very friendly and attentive. A great place to visit for authentic Korean food. The plaza has a few parking spaces.

I got the Yukgaejang with handmade ramen (other noodle options include glass noodles, handmade pasta) which was so hearty and flavorful. You can pay a bit extra to make it more spicy too. It comes with shredded beef and scallions. It's quite a large portion size so you'll be quite full or have some leftovers for the next day. It's been a while since I've had their bossam but I also remember it being super good! Service is quick and efficient. Parking is convenient as they have their own shared parking lot in the plaza.

Parking is valet or if you can find street parking but it's a little tough!

Amazing! The place is popping and there is always such a long wait because the food is delicious…read more If you have two people in your party, you may be waiting for about an hour. There were six of us and they told us there was an hour wait, however, they called us in less than 15 minutes! Plates are small and shareable, so make sure you order enough items. I loved their fried and their steamed dumplings. Their rice balls were also delicious. Don't forget to order some grilled pineapple for dessert! This place is certainly your first stop for a night out in Korea town. It's a hole in the wall restaurant, but once you try their food and some soju... like lots of soju, you'll be ready to party! Will definitely be coming back for food, soju, and great vibes! Their walls have lots of scribbling and stickers; I might bring some cute stickers next time to place on their walls.

While the food is actually amazing, the service is abismal. My friend and I had just finished…read morewatching a Candlelight Concert nearby, this was back in January, and were starving when we got out. I saw this place was open and had great reviews so we walked about five minutes to get here. I really want to give places the benefit of the doubt, but my experience here was both terrible and amazing. Terrible because my friend and I checked in, and were forgotten for bigger groups. Granted, I understand it was 11 PM, peak party time and the place was packed. After about 30 minutes, I went to ask about seating. We finally got a table that was crammed with seats in an area where they would pass by with carts of dishes or boxes of liquor, practically bumping against the chairs. I made the best of the situation and sat next to my friend on the other side so I wouldn't be in anyone's way. The amazing part: the food. They have kiosks to order at each table which I LOVE. You order and pay all at once without having to wait for anyone. The food came out at a decent time. They did forget our beverage which I know can happen, but it was difficult trying to get the attention of someone who could help as they were obviously very busy, but seemed very unaware of their surroundings. We ordered Cheesy Corn, Chicken Karaage, Bulgogi Sliders, and a Sugar Free Saero Apricot Soju. The food is PHENOMENAL. It was tasty, it was delicious, it partly made up for the lack of organization. I feel torn, because while the food was amazing, the service was lacking. It's been months, but I still dream about the food here. If I happen to be around the area I might end up here again. Who knows.

They currently have a great deal at $12, which makes it even better value for what you're getting. The sullungtang comes with rice, soup, and two types of kimchi. Service was friendly and efficient, and the whole experience felt easy and satisfying. Place was chill, not too overly crowded. I've noticed a lot of people ordering other dishes every time I go, so I'm definitely looking forward to trying more of the menu, but I keep coming back for the basics because it's just that good.

Sulga was definitely THE place to be for a warm bowl of bone broth on a rainy night. My friend and…read moreI stopped by for doganitang (for two), and the portions were indeed large - for four. We also added beef brisket since my friend wasn't a big fan of cartilage - more for me! The pot itself wasn't too deep, though there was a good portion of protein cartilage. Also important to note that rice was NOT included! The brisket add on came as a pre-cooked brisket that was added in after, as it didn't initially fit in the pot. The staff member told us at the time that broth refills were free. However, when it came time for refills, they said it was only one time - poor communication. Paying was fairly straightforward, but for future visits, I'd likely just come for their lunch special sullongtang after this experience.

Genuinely one of the most incredible bites I've ever had, I am so glad I stumbled in here. I'll be honest, I was not expecting many vegan options but I was pleasantly impressed by how much was available. I ordered the seasonal vegetable patty and the vegan channa roti. Walking in you are greeted with golden brown baked patties, immediately putting the goodness on display. I've had Caribbean patties before, most of them fried because I grew up in the south, but a friend's mom from childhood would fresh bake them for us and I had missed that for so long. These patties reminded me of that and I had a Ratatouille flashback moment with it. I don't exactly remember what was in the patty, but it was the fall medley, and it was warm, cozy, and so pleasant. The lady at the front of house asked me what I thought and I could tell she really cared about the fact that I enjoyed it. About 10 minutes later the roti came out (and I think waiting for it made the experience even better), and my goodness every single bite was just fantastic. I spent around $30 in total (including tip) and I think that was a complete steal for the experience I had. I'm definitely coming back so I can try the jerk cucumbers and the channa doubles. If you want to eat food that you can taste the love in, you absolutely have to eat here!!
