Maybe the best Korean restaurant for comfort food in Boston. We got the kimchi pancake, which was greasy and not much seafood inside. The main dish was the Kalbi Tang combo (kalbi and soup), soooo good, so we had to get another Kalbi on the side. Soup is warm and served with rice, perfect for the cold weather. Service was quick and nice. It is a cozy restaurant and good food. Kalbi is the must try!

Perfect place to warm up on a chilly winter evening. The soulongtang is simple and comforting. I got the combo with LA galbi which was sweet and tender. My friend got the samkyupsal which was also quite good. Decent banchan and fast, no frills service. There's a good amount of seating but there seems to always be a bit of a wait here. Overall a solid korean food spot!

I don't think Boston has a stellar Korean food scene by any means, but Seoul Soulongtang is a solid place for the basics. They specialize in soulongtang - for the newbies like me, this is an ox/beef bone soup with brisket. It's typically seasoned to taste at the table, so every table has a vat of salt and pepper and the dish comes with fresh scallions. Very cozy and homey dish for a cold night. The banchan were pretty basic but tasted good (radish and cabbage kimchi, fish tofu, plus another one or two that can't remember). We also tried their vegetable pajeon which was mediocre imo, a not crispy enough. However their bulgogi, bibimbap, jeyook bokum, and japchae were solid. I'd come back when my Korean food craving hits! Next time I want to try their galbitang which seems to be their 2nd most popular soup.

Favorite local Allston spot! Everytime I crave something warm or soup, this is the spot. Service is the fastest and the food always hits. Large portions for a reasonable price and they always give a generous amount of sides. Restaurant sound level is also perfect for talking, not awkwardly quiet but also not too loud. I love getting the Kalbitamg, haha, seafood pancake, and bibimbap

This place is the bomb!!! It's got a really chill vibe where everyone for any occasion is coming to eat. Dates, friendly hangouts, or just by yourself. The food is delicious and if you know what you want, you can put an order in within SECONDS of sitting down. This is my Go To spot when it comes to Allston. I bring everyone here. This place has my stamp of approval, hands down.

I quite literally love every dish here and it's so exciting now that it's summer and I can have their summer served only naengmyun! It's a super chewy root starch noodle dish, served cold with beef brisket, assorted vegetables, boiled egg, and either a cold beef broth or spicy sauce The kalbitang is a hearty beef broth soup with premium short ribs and vermicelli noodles served with a bowl of rice on the side. It was really enjoyable switching between eating the cold noodles and hot comforting soup! Make sure to visit here if you're craving classic korean dishes!

Reasonably priced family restaurant with delicious food and solid portion sizes. We went as a group of five on a Friday at around 8:15pm and had a 10-20 minute wait to get seated. I got the kalbitang, which had a good amount of beef ribs, white radish, and noodles in the warm, hearty stew. We also got the bossam and kimchi pancake to share. The bossam came with a good amount of pork belly, sauces, and delicious radish kimchi to go with it. The kimchi pancake was doughy and chewy, but I couldn't tell the difference between it and a regular seafood pancake. The only unfortunate part of our visit was that their grill was closed by the time that we got there, even though we had called ahead to hear that it didn't close until 8:30pm. A bunch of items were also sold out, though we were luckily still able to find non-beef dishes for a member of our party that doesn't eat beef. Overall, I would come back for the bossam and fresh kimchi. Perhaps earlier next time to get to try some of their grill dishes.

I like the vibe of this place - clean, warm lights, peaceful and not overly noisy. Unlike the other Korean places in Allston, this place has fast and attentive service . We sat down and were served with several bonchons The pork belly and beef soup were both very good. Will come back to this place!

I have been on a Korean cold noodle kick. In a heat wave, nothing hits the spot like a big bowl of noodles with chunks of ice floating in the broth. (I should learn how to make this at home.) After scouring Yelp for a place in Boston that serves these cold noodles, I landed on Seoul Soulongtang in Brighton. Be sure to come around 6 even on weekdays or be prepared for a bit of a wait - we came a little after six and nabbed the last table for two; after we finished, we opened the door to find a long line outside. The menu features a bunch of other soups and dishes but I only had eyes for the last page of cold noodles. Broth: light, fragrant, condiments of salt and yellow mustard and vinegar provided. Noodles: nice and springy, they provide a pair of scissors to snip snip into more manageable bites. Standard garnishes of pickled radish, green onions, thinly sliced beef and cucumber, and half a hardboiled egg. Banchan: good selection and they give free refills. They also offer combo meals of noodles + galbi, which may be a good option for two people who aren't super hungry. It gets a little loud inside with people talking and someone manning the massive frying counter but nothing too bad. The service was not exactly friendly but very efficient and our food came out quickly. PARKING: If you do decide to chance the wait-time and come after 6, there's free parking in the lot on Comm Ave across the street, as well as a big parking lot on Harvard Ave behind Cafe Brazil Bakery.
