Tucked away in Chicago’s Lincoln Square, Han Bat Restaurant is a local favorite for authentic seolleongtang—a traditional Korean ox bone soup simmered slowly until rich, milky, and deeply flavorful. This cozy, no-frills eatery is best known for its comforting bowls of brisket, oxtail, or tendon soup. Each one is served unseasoned, allowing you to customize it to your taste with salt, scallions, and chili paste.
Every meal is accompanied by house-made kimchi and pickled radish—side dishes that regulars consistently praise for their fresh, balanced flavor. Whether you’re enjoying a quiet meal alone or introducing friends to Korean comfort food, Han Bat delivers a warm, home-style dining experience that brings a true taste of Seoul to the heart of the Windy City.
