Seoul

One diner described a seolleongtang set meal with a milky soup made by simmering beef and bones, served with glass noodles, spring onions, 6 small side dishes and rice. They found the flavour light yet savoury, and noted that the seasoning could be adjusted at the table with salt, pepper or kimchi. It makes a satisfying lunch, with the soup accompanied by rice and a selection of sides.

The pajeon also stands out in diners’ accounts. One person who tried the seafood version said it was crisp on the outside and tender within. The menu also lists chive, potato and pumpkin pancakes. Other options include cheese dak-galbi, japchae and bibimbap, so you can build a meal around a pancake or opt for a rice or noodle dish instead.

There are also reviews of the sundubu jjigae. One diner who came looking for a spicy stew found the seasoning sweeter than expected. If you have a particular preference for heat, you could ask about it when ordering.

Drinks include draft beer, chūhai and makgeolli by the glass, along with pomegranate and blueberry juice and cider. Seoul in Tsuruhashi offers both dine-in and takeaway, and is open daily from 9:00 to 21:00.
