My family and I ordered 2 oxtail soups, kalbi soup, and seuollongtang. The food came out quickly. The broth was rich. The only side dishes are the two types of kimchi but they were both tasty & plenty. The only complaint is that some meats were more tender than the other within the same bowl of soup. It was as if some got cooked longer than the other ones and got thrown in together. All in all, for the price of the soups, they gave large portions and were yummy. We'll definitely return.

Definitely recommending the ox tail soup !!! It was soo good and the meat was really tender. Seafood pancake was also really crispy and I enjoyed that. I also appreciate them serving water bottles instead of tap. Their kimchi was also really fresh, so a plus for those who like fresh kimchi! We also got the combo combination sullungtang and the rice cake and dumpling soup. I wasn't as impressed with these as the ox tail soup! Overall pricing can be a tad bit more expensive than other places.

The food is good! I found a piece of foil in my steamed dumplings so didn't really want to eat any more of those after .... The sullentang (ox-tail) was really good. Liked it a lot. The service was fine. The overall ambiance was fine, like a standard restaurant.

My review is primarily for the Bibim Naengmyeon. Korean cold noodles are so addicting during the summer time. Who would have thought noodles purposely made cold would pack so much flavor, but it does with that attractive spicy sauce they lather it with. The texture of the noodle is always bouncy & stretchy (yes they give you scissors so you don't choke yourself haha). It really hits the spot when you want to cool down. My girlfriend got their famous Seolleongtang which I tasted (I approve), but I'd definitely come back for the Naengmyeon. Shin Chon - this place reminds me of what Annandale used to be!

Just dined in here with my family for lunch and it will always be my go to Korean ox tail soup place in nova as they specialize in it. They also have other dishes including Korean pancakes and cold noodles (perfect for hot summer day). Each soup comes with rice and there is lunch and radish for the table. Very delicious and hits the spot whenever I want a warm soup with some noodles, rice, and meat besides getting pho.

Authentic and delicious chill Korean restaurant specializing in sul lang tang. If you are new do not forget to salt your soup to taste and mix well. I accidentally oversalted my soup and it still tasted delicious so that's how you know it is good. The broth was so full that it was coating the back of the spoon. The seafood pancake was a bit on the crispier side if you are into that.

Nestled in the heart of Annandale, Virginia, Shin Chon Seullongtang is a haven for Korean food enthusiasts seeking authentic flavors and hearty comfort. My recent visit delivered pure Seoul-ful satisfaction, earning a well-deserved 5-star rating. The undisputed star of the show is their namesake dish, the seollongtang ox bone soup. This milky white broth, simmered for hours with ox bones and vegetables, is a symphony of richness and subtlety. Each spoonful is a warm hug from the inside out, the delicate flavors lingering long after the last drop. This is a must-order. While the seollongtang soared, the braised short ribs galbijjim fell slightly short of expectations. I yearned for a thick, spicy, sauce-laden masterpiece, but what arrived was more akin to a thick soup. The flavor was pleasant, but lacked the punch I crave in a galbijjim. But fear not, for the seafood pancake redeemed any culinary disappointment. This behemoth of a pancake was packed with fresh seafood and vegetables, its exterior boasting a delightful crispness that yielded to a soft, savory interior. Each bite was a delightful explosion of textures and flavors, a testament to the kitchen's skill. Beyond the food, the atmosphere at Shin Chon Seullongtang is undeniably Korean. The bustling energy, the cheerful chatter in Korean, and the unpretentious décor transport you straight to the streets of Seoul. This is a place where authenticity is not just a tagline, it's the lifeblood of the restaurant. Shin Chon Seullongtang is not just a restaurant; it's a portal to Korea. While the galbijjim might have missed the mark, the seollongtang and seafood pancake are absolute must-tries. And the authentic atmosphere ensures an experience that goes beyond the plate. So, if you're craving a taste of Seoul without the plane ticket, make your way to Shin Chon Seullongtang. You won't be disappointed Come hungry! The portions are generous, and you'll want to savor every bite. And don't forget to ask for kimchi and other banchan (side dishes) to complete your Korean feast.

Met up with some friends and one of them actually recommended this place to us. Especially with this chilly winter, the only thing I want is hot soup. The store itself is cozy and when you walk in you can already smell how good it will be. The staff were friendly and straightforward. We all got the seullongtang and a barley tea. The soup itself was so milky and soothing. They were generous with the beef as I also enjoy how you can customize it to your own liking, they bring out salt and a container of scallions to add to your soup. Personally I added hella green onions and found that a spoon and a half of salt was perfect! They also bring out kimchi and a bowl of rice to enjoy together. The soup itself has noodles in it but once you slurp those up, I like to dunk my rice in the broth.
