The 설농탕 is famous here. People come from all over to eat the 설농탕. The restaurant was packed when I came here with my uncle. The 설농탕 was one of the best I've had. The 김치 was fresh and crisp. They only make a few dishes and they do it real well. I can see why people come from everywhere.

Good food. Friendly service. Beef soup with rice and noodle. Soup is without salt. You can add by yourself. Highly recommended. Around 1pm, half of customers are local elderly people.
Quite old restaurant...100years old. Famous for their Sul Nong Tang. Good Kimchi. I think Big size portion worth the moeny.
I see why this place is famous. The soup was delicious, but also light and fresh. The kimchi was great. Great price.
Read good reviews from travel blogs which have great reviews on the food. This shop even had a Michelin Star on its front door. However, I find it quite difficult to finish the entire portion of SooYook. Locals might find this shop a hidden gem, but I don’t recommend this place for travelers who are not a fan of cow organs.
Lots of great reviews so I thought I will give it a try. Saw on the outside of the restaurant that it has been recommended by Michelin quite a few times so I was more than excited! Was greatly disappointed by the taste though. The soup itself had zero flavour! After adding salt it got better but still incomprehensible why it’s so popular. No beefy taste as well. The only thing that was really flavorful and delicious was the 2 bowls of different kimchi they brought us..
Apparently this place is on the Michelin guide 2019. It shouldn't be. Had a better version of this in busan. Also, the servers here are really pushy. The server who took our order didn't leave until we ordered. Another server tried to take our food away early so that we could pay the bill and leave. Large bins of kimchi and scallions are placed at your table and are self serve, except the servers kept taking them away and shuffling them. Also the air conditioner above us kept dripping water beside our table.
Not sure why the Michelin and decent ratings. The condiment containers on the table were old and not well kept. The diced scallions were kept in an open plastic container that didn't look like they'd been washed in some time, and the scallions were semi dry. The seolnongtang was ok and so was the nuckle soup - AVERAGE at best. The seolnongtang comes with steamed rice already mixed in the broth, but the rice was too sticky. Not worth a second look. Plenty of other places that serve the same food but better and in a more convenient location.
