Yangpyung Seoul — Restaurant in Federal Way

Awesome place to have a real Korean hangover soup (called, haejangguk)! I like the Korean traditional concept interior and the place is neat and clean.

Writing this review on my way home from this place. I came here straight here from the airport. After a 10 hour layover in Korea. I looked up a famous soondae soup house in the kalgooksoo alley of namdaemoon market. I thought I was finally going to find a bowl of soup to dethrone this place. Nope. Did not even come close. Not to say I haven't had many other bowls of soup that compete with this place. But Yangpyung is truly a solid spot and very thankful to live within driving...
