Information

The facts

Opened in 1904, Imun Seolnongtang has been serving its hearty seolleongtang for nearly a hundred years. It's the oldest restaurant in Korea.
Even its name has a long history: the word imun comes from Imun-gol, the obsolete name of the restaurant’s location, and seolnongtang, an old variation of the word seolleongtang.
During Japanese colonial rule, the restaurant’s regular customers included Gijeong Son, the marathon gold-medalist at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
To make the rich seolleongtang broth, beef meat and bones are simmered for more than 15 hours. Try putting rice and minced green onion in your seolleongtang for a warm and tasty experience. Kkakttugi (diced radish kimchi), provided as a side dish, is also delicious.

I guess you can taste the original seollongtang here. It's known to be the oldest restaurant in Korea. It recently moved to a new place since the old building has gone under construction. I love the Kimchi and Kkadugi that you can eat as much as you want with the soup. Yummmm
