Kang Seo Restaurant

"I ate seolleongtang and it tasted okay, not particularly delicious or bad. Feel like home-cooked food you usually eat at home? The side dishes were decent, but only kakdugi was served and no cabbage kimchi."

"This place ended up being our second choice, as the restaurant we initially planned to visit was undergoing renovations on that scorching summer day. Adapting to the situation, we decided to try their marinated goat meat hot pot (보양전골), which turned out to be quite satisfactory. The hot pot came brimming with an ample amount of goat meat, including the goat skin. However, the dipping sauce for the meat was a tad overly sweet, and the selection of fresh vegetables was somewhat limited. The presentation of the hot pot was average, neither exceptional nor disappointing. On the service front, we received good attention. The waitress visited our table a few times to replenish our side dishes. Familiar with the culinary traditions, we took the liberty to transform the remaining goat meat into a rice-based porridge after enjoying the meat itself. The restaurant was bustling, situated between the peak hours of lunch and dinner. It's evident that the establishment has garnered a reputation and seems to have established a stable presence in the dining scene."

"Highly recommend this seolruntang place. They have all bone soups and other Korean dishes. However, they are apecialized in bone soups. Their tendons soup was in great shape and all good sized. Very busy reataurant and many Older Korean people come here because it is authentic. Must try if you are a local or in town."

"Authentic Korean restaurant. The food is hot and spicy, super good for winter time, definitely warm you up. We have the soup and the octopus dishes. All tastes delicious."

"Wheelchair accessible with some challenges getting to restroom and seating due to booths. The food was EXCELLENT, authentic and was like being in Korea. The restaurant was clean and food service was quick. If you would like service, there is a button to call the waitress (like restaurants in Korean). The staff does not know English well but their menu is in Korean and English. Just note that if you have a question about something, they won't know how to explain it to you. Their side dishes are traditional and healthy. Highly recommend 감자탕 or 고등어 구이. Remember, courtesy bell button if you ever need anything. The reason for 3 stars is because of the management. They charged an 18% tip automatically even though we got our food and no one checked on us. We ate and when we left, the owner told us 18% gratuity was charged. That should be up to the customers. We normally tip 20% when we eat out if our server checks on us amd what not. The other issue was blaming the server for not checking on us. It just seemed weird that they are attempting adhere to American style tipping but only practice Korean style of service. The server had done what is standard for Korean servers. She did nothing wrong. She came when we pushed the button. We ordered 3 meals and with 18% tip it cost over $50. *Mgt: If you are going to enforce mandatory 18% tip, instead of blame your employees in front of customers, you should explain to them standard service practice for servers in American restaurants OR allow folks to tip what they want based on service."
