Claypot

Claypot is soul-giving Korean comfort food at its finest. You can taste the authentic homemade goodness of the bone broth and tender meat. And the kimchi is unparalleled (they sell by itself to go!) The usage of somen vs glass noodles is a nice, heartier touch. And I appreciate that we can salt-to-taste which is great for the kiddos. The soup-making process is incredibly laborious, and it's clear no short cuts are taken. Delicious healthy option, and the food tastes clean. Pricing is appropriate for what you get. Quality is excellent, and service is consistently on point and friendly. The woman who owns this business is very kind, and we've always had great experiences here! Definitely a neighborhood staple.

The interior is cute giving kdrama cafe vibes. However the seating is a little dated. There is a small parking lot for the plaza.The server is very attentive and friendly, and made some good suggestions for the first timer.The special seulungtang was filled with meat but more importantly the soup was delicious. Summer menu is available with seasonal noodle dishes. The bean noodle dish was a very thick but easily watered down with more ice cubes. Will definitely come back to try more of their other dishes!

The restaurant is such a cozy place. It feels like your going to your grandparents house. The service was good and helpful!The food makes you feel warm and cozy on the inside. I can't wait to go back here again especially on cold days!

I have been wanting to check out this place for some sullungtang.Parking: The parking lot is on the smaller end but there should be parking The menu is limited so make sure to check before you go especially if you aren't in the mood for sullungtang.The food comes out fairly fast and the banchan compliments the sullungtang.Perfect for a cold day!

This might be our go to now for seolluntang and galbitang! The flavors are light and you can season to taste with the salt on the table. The seolluntang was delightful, perfectly balanced and flavorful. It's pretty big inside, at least much bigger than it looks on the outside. I would guess there are maybe 10 tables? We came around 11:10 and were the only people inside, but within 30 min the restaurant started to fill up! I can see parking getting tight though there's parking around the back too where the laundromat is. If you ever get desperate, you can also park at the Hmart next door and walk over.

Food : amazingly good, such a comfort food for winter and every seasonService : very nice ladies Restaurant : very clean and organize Love it! Will go back every time I'm in the area

Best bone broth soup I've had outside of Korea. Excellent. I enjoyed this more than Hanbat in NYC

Seolleongtang is the thing to try, when it comes to Korean food. Not a lot of places offer this, as making Seolleongtang takes many hours of preparing, boiling and cooking them pork bones to perfection. What you get as an end result is this light creamy broth that is jam packed full of flavor, and is a delight to consume, on a cold Chicago day. This place is legit, as the clientele is mostly Koreans, or at least that's my barometer. I've been here twice and the experience is always great. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. We non-Koreans have questions and the staff is so friendly in helping. When I finally decided to order the modeum seolleongtang, dogani seolleongtang, and the modeum soyuk, without asking, the staff said "to be honest, the modeum seolleongtang and modeum soyuk are the same. Are you sure?" Talk about service! Awesome feedback. The modeum soyuk was great. It had braised beef with napa, chivesBrisket, Chuck, Shank, Tongue, and Tendon. The tongue was tongue-lapping good.The dogani seollegontang was also good. It had Ox bone broth with tendon and glass noodles. I love me some glass noodles. The seolleongtang came with lots of green onions. Just sprinkle some salt, pepper, and throw in some rice, and you got yourself a hearty warm meal. Righteous. All-in-all, a great place, and I left feeling full.BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the kitchen, the mens bathroom consisted of a urinal and toilet. Urinal flushed well, I didn't try to the toilet. Maybe next time. The hand dryer was phenomenal, and it wasn't even a Dyson. One of the best hand dryer I ever experienced; my hands left there feeling warm and dry. Sit or squat? Squat.

IMO, the legitimacy of a Korean soup place is determined by how many older Korean folks come to eat. On Saturday lunch, the restaurant was completely full, with everyone ordering one same thing: Wang galbi tang. The soup was clear with depth. The portion was very generous for $19.99. It was a bit disappointing because the rib bones they were using were not the best meat (dry and less fatty/not marbled) but for the price you pay, it makes sense and I cannot ask for more. The owners need to profit!For sullungtang, I saw several comments saying how this place is better than Hanbat. Honestly, the soup was good and very competitive taste & portion. However, at $17.99 price point vs. ~$12 at Hanbat, I cannot really justify why I would pay the premium.Overall, good experience but not a place I would come out of my way to eat.

Food was amazing. Family had seuleongtang, bulgogi, soondubu and cold soybean milk noodle. Everything tasted excellent and clearly made with care and fresh ingredients. You order at the table and service was prompt and responsive. Definitely going back!
