Soup and riceKorean
Mapo Seolnongtang
마포설농탕 Mapo is a district of Seoul and seolnongtang is an older spelling of seolleongtang, ox-bone soup; one post notes the shop keeps the name Mapo even though it stands in Seongsu.

A seolleongtang (ox-bone soup) shop at Seongsu-il-ro 9, on the main road between Seongsu and Ttukseom stations, run by an older couple. The whole menu is the soup at 12,000 won, a large bowl at 15,000, knee-cartilage soup at 19,000 and three boiled-meat platters (brisket 50,000, knee cartilage 60,000, mixed 70,000). Most writers describe the broth as clear and light. Some came alone for breakfast or lunch, others had the platters with soju. We read 13 posts from April 2025 to September 2026. Twelve describe actual visits.

Rows without a count: 4 of 5 posts.
Counted from what bloggers wrote in their posts; we did not confirm it with the restaurant. Where the values differ, it may be a change over time rather than a disagreement, so we show when each one was written.
These hours are counted from the posts we read. Shops change them without notice — check Naver Place before you go.

What sets it apart
- Five posts call the place clean, and they say what they saw: no grease marks on the walls, the owner wiping down the room throughout the meal, and kimchi tubs labelled with the date they were made.
- Three posts note an open kitchen where you can see the stockpots and kimchi tubs. One says the couple opened it up in a remodel, but no post says when that happened.
- Five posts call the portions generous. Two of them say the large bowl comes with plenty of meat and noodles, and one says even the regular bowl had a fair amount of beef. One post found the rice serving small.
- Two posts got kimchi refills, and in one the owner told them to ask for as much as they wanted.
1 more
- Both posts that reached a verdict on price called it reasonable: one said the prices were kind for these days, the other felt the 60,000-won knee-cartilage platter was worth it. An April 2025 post said prices had risen quite a bit but gave no earlier figures.

Where it is
From the station
1 posts say it is walkable from the station.
Getting inside
No post describes which floor it is on from experience; only the address says ground floor.
We don't know whether there is a step at the door or whether a wheelchair or stroller fits. That doesn't mean there's a barrier, only that no post mentions it.
No post says where the toilet is or whether it is separated by gender.
No one mentioned: Second floor · In a basement · Lift to the floor · Ramp at the door · Step at the entrance · Step-free access · Toilet inside · Accessible toilet · Separate restrooms. That is not the same as there being none — it means we could not confirm it. Worth calling ahead, and do tell us: we will put it here.

Posts that followed a TV spot
Of the 11 posts we gathered, 1 went up on a single day right after a TV spot and show no sign of a visit. They retell the broadcast, so we left them out of the counts.
We do not discard them. That a TV spot produced a burst of posts is itself something worth knowing about a place, and a star rating will not show it.

What we do not know
- One post against one on waiting. A November 2025 post says it fills up with office workers at lunch, but a line outside moves fast. A post from the February 2026 Lunar New Year weekend says it wasn't crowded. No one gave a wait time.
- One post covers the walk from the subway. The writer came from Seongsu Station but says Seoul Forest Station exit 2 is closer.
- No pattern in who people came with: one solo diner, one family with children, one group of three men having the platter with drinks.
- All five posts that list opening hours give 7:00–22:00 on weekdays and 8:00–21:30 on weekends, though two copied this from the map listing and one heard it from the owners. Closing days differ: three posts say the second and fourth Sunday of each month, one says it is open every day.
- Two posts list the phone number (0507-1485-8898), but none says whether you can book.
