| - Sul lung tang has been one of my favorite Korean comfort foods since I was a little child. Even my mother had her own recipe, and I remember the countless times she would prepare the sul lung tang broth by boiling ox bone over the course of an entire day to enrich the flavor of the soup. There's nothing like eating a hot bowl of sul lung tang along kimchi and kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), and I'm sure many Korean people/Korean food aficionados can relate.
I've had sul lung tang all over LA, OC, and in Korea as well, and I gotta say that Han Bat in Koreatown Los Angeles has the best sul lung tang hands down. They have really set the bar high, so much so that I didn't have any expectations for this place. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The soup wasn't as dense nor flavorful as I would have preferred, but it tasted really clean. I don't think they use MSG either, because I didn't knock the eff out afterwards (MSG makes me suuuuppper sleeeepy). The beef in the sul lung tang was really tender, and the kimchi and kkakdugi were also pretty good.
Service was spot on. All the ajummas were really nice and accommodating, and they were happy to re-fill our banchan numerous times. Most places, the ajummas get annoyed and irritated when you ask them for more banchan lol.
This place will definitely be poppin in the winter or once the weather starts coolin down. I'm glad that I have a place to come to now if I'm ever craving sul lung tang here in Vegas. Ill end on this. Life is short so "bang and eat tang."
