Sinsun Seollongtang Guri Branch

About

Spacious family-friendly restaurant in Guri serving classic ox bone soup alongside varieties like garlic seolleongtang, paired with three distinct types of kimchi.

With a presence in Guri spanning some two decades, Sinseon Seolnongtang has settled into a bright, airy space near Gyomun Intersection toward Walkerhill, close to Hanyang University Guri Hospital. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows line the perimeter, overhead pine installations accent the ceiling, and generously spaced tables easily accommodate weekend crowds and family gatherings. The kitchen builds its reputation on milky, slow-simmered bone broths. The standard seolnongtang delivers a creamy, subtly nutty broth crafted with touches of peanut powder and cheese powder, served in a wide metal bowl with tender sliced beef. Diners seeking unadulterated stock can opt for the sun-sagol-guk, a 100% pure ox-bone broth without the nutty additives. For a punchier alternative, the garlic seolnongtang arrives bubbling inside a piping-hot earthenware ttukbaegi, thick with deep roasted-garlic aroma that perfumes the broth until the last spoonful. Larger appetites frequently add a side of steamed dumplings, or branch out to the galbi-seolnongtang piled with braised short ribs. Every table receives a trio of house-made kimchis to trim into bite-sized portions: tart fermented sukseong-kimchi, fresh mat-kimchi, and crunchy seokbakji radish cubes. The fully ripened aged cabbage cuts sharply through the creamy soup, and those craving a spicy kick often pour spoonfuls of the radish brine straight into their bowl to replace the missing red seasoning paste. The dining room operates with practiced convenience. Families are particularly well looked after with child-portioned meals served on compartmentalized trays—complete with little chewable vitamin candies—available as either seasoned seolnongtang or unseasoned pure bone broth. Opening its doors daily at 8:30 a.m. for early breakfast seekers and offering dedicated side-alley parking with one hour validated, this neighborhood anchor keeps traditional bone broth accessible, comforting, and unfussy.
