Jar-aged seokbakji and fresh cabbage kimchi at every table

Kimchi can make or break a seolleongtang restaurant, and it's one of Hanchon's strengths too. Diners scoop out as much as they want from jars placed on every table — the crisp, refreshingly fermented seokbakji (diced radish kimchi) and the sweet-spicy fresh cabbage kimchi pair perfectly with the fat-free, clean ox bone broth.

Seolleongtang, spicy seolleongtang or a restorative soup: which to order

Classic seolleongtang, the signature bowl

The core is a milky, clear broth made by slow-simmering pure ox bones and skimming off the fat. With no gamey smell, it's savory and clean, and comes with tender brisket slices and thin noodles already added in, giving a smooth, slurpable texture.

Spicy seolleongtang

Built on a rich ox bone broth, this dish adds scallions, beef, glass noodles, and a spicy seasoning paste to simmer up like yukgaejang — hot and refreshing. It's popular for curing a hangover or for anyone craving a fiery Korean kick.

Restorative soups: special seolleongtang, doganitang and oxtail soup

Doganitang, packed with chewy beef tendon and long-simmered knee cartilage, remains a beloved health food for elders looking to restore energy and support joint health. Oxtail soup, loaded with fall-off-the-bone oxtail, is an excellent choice for anyone after deep, rich flavor.

Boiled pork platter, spicy braised ribs and bulgogi

This hot-pot-style boiled pork dish is cooked table-side with fresh vegetables like enoki mushrooms, chives, and cabbage, along with thinly sliced brisket, head meat, and cartilage in a light broth. Clean yet deeply flavored, it's a popular drinking snack for evening gatherings.

Spicy braised ribs / bulgogi — from sweet-savory beef bulgogi that kids love to spicy braised beef ribs in a fiery sauce, these dishes round out the table beyond the soups.
