What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Eunho Sikdang is celebrated for its exceptional, deeply flavorful beef soups, particularly the oxtail and cartilage variations, often noted for being perfectly seasoned. While many praise the authentic taste and generous portions, some find the prices a bit high for the offerings, and the experience can be challenging due to the language barrier and difficulty in locating the establishment.
"I must say one of the best meal we had in Seoul. The beef ribs were tender and the soup was wow."
Celina David
"It was perfectly salty to my tastes so I didn’t need to add in more seasoning. I liked the dogani tang which is cartilage soup."
Tina C
"The beef soup is so good but it’s kinda expensive with me. And the meal is also big for one, u should go with 2-3 friends"
