" I can't emphasize enough how much I love Hanbat Shul Lung Tang! The sul lung tang is the most authentic I've experienced outside of Korea. The rich, creamy broth and perfectly tender brisket brought me back to my childhood. This is a place where I can truly indulge, and the staff are incredibly hospitable. The only downside is the long lines during peak hours, but the substantial portions make it worth the wait. Definitely returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had heard fabulous things about Hanbat and finally made the trip to Koreatown. It did not disappoint! I've had sul lung tang at several places before but here it was truly elevated. The broth was rich and creamy, the brisket was tender, and the banchan was fresh and tangy. The atmosphere was intimate, typical of smaller restaurants but felt like a cozy spread amongst your friends. I felt right at home! My only complaint was that I wanted more meat in my bowl, but overall, I would definitely return for the experience. Highly recommend trying the kimchi! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon this place after searching for good Korean food online. First off, the prices are very reasonable considering the quality. The sul lung tang was great, consistent with what you'd expect from a true Korean restaurant. My favorite part had to be the kimchi—they have different kinds that go so well with the soup. The servers were helpful, and I didn't feel rushed at all despite how packed it was. Glad I came here and will definitely recommend it to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not completely satisfied with my experience at Hanbat. While the soup was decent; it lacked the depth I have found in more established sul lung tang restaurants. The atmosphere was quite crowded, making it hard to have a conversation. Service could have been better; it felt like the staff was overwhelmed. I did enjoy the kimchi, but that alone wasn't enough for me to rave about the experience. I'd say it's a good place to try once, but not sure I would return. " (*Curated Review*)

" This place feels like a hidden gem in Koreatown! I came here searching for authentic Korean comfort food and certainly found it. The sul lung tang was so rich and satisfying, not to mention it comes with homemade kimchi that paired perfectly with the soup. I went for the mixed meat option, which was delightful for adventurous eaters like me. The service was quick and the staff warm and welcoming. I definitely recommend it to anyone craving a genuine taste of Korea! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hanbat Shul Lung Tang gave me the comforting meal I was looking for! The broth was just right; not too salty but very flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh everything tasted. They have a very limited menu, which focuses on their specialty dish, but I think that’s what makes them stand out. The staff were amazing, you really felt their dedication to good service. Would definitely come back for a warm welcoming meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" Living in the area, Hanbat is my go-to spot whenever I have a craving for authentic Korean soup. The sul lung tang is top-notch—rich and flavorsome just how I like it. The service is consistently friendly, and I enjoyed a quick meal with no fuss. The only downside was when I brought friends who were unfamiliar with Korean food; they found the menu a little intimidating. I'd say it’s for traditionalists but worth every penny for lovers of true Korean cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)
