Was here in the morning for breakfast. Just wanted something soupy, comforting and seolleongtang (ox bone soup) sounds about right. Moreover, haven't tried a proper one yet and this shall be my first!

There's actually another shop that sells the same thing but we opted for this one as the other shop have not started their business yet.

The staff are friendly and welcoming although they are not conversant in English but there's no issue in communication since the menu has pictures and we could confirm our order via a smattering of Korean.
One could choose to order whether you want the ox tendon, or lean meat, or mixture of meat and tendons etc. There's also a sampler set which our table accidentally ordered, in case you would like to try all the available cuts at one go. This was presented beautifully but not the regular bowl that you might be wanting.

| sampler set |
Staff was kind enough to let us know whether the items that we ordered came with rice or not. The sampler set actually didn't come with rice and so we ordered one but subsequently, Ivan ordered another regular soup set (which came with rice) and the staff kindly asked us if we wanted the additional rice and they helped us to cancel the extra rice order since the later order of the set came with complimentary rice. Kudos to the staff who showed her care for the customer in this manner. 감사합니다!

| meat dumplings |
We placed additional order for meat dumplings (galbi mandu) and these were good!

| glass noodles |
As usual, the ox tail soup came with some glass noodles and I particularly liked the egg strips in it. The soup was served piping hot and tasted delicious.
The meat was tender and not funky. Just wished the bowl had more meat.
The most expensive item that we ordered was the sampler (₩18000) and the regular ox bone soup bowls were about ₩12000 to ₩13000.
