Introduction

Tanghua Kungfu Malatang - Seongsu-dong is Korea's No.1 malatang brand, offering K-malatang optimized for Korean tastes. It boasts a numbing aroma and deep flavor, making it a popular spot for malatang enthusiasts.

Despite being located on the 2nd floor, it is so popular that it fills up during lunchtime, and side dishes like Guobaorou and egg fried rice are also much loved.

Visitor Characteristics

Visitors here are slightly more likely to be women, with most customers being teenagers to those in their early 20s, though people in their 30s and above also visit regularly. It is more common to see friends or colleagues dining together than families.

The lively atmosphere and various spice levels allow customers to enjoy their meal according to their preferences, making it popular with a wide range of customers.

Key Features

The malatang system is based on single-item pricing, allowing you to take as much as you want, with fresh ingredients as a main highlight. The restaurant maintains fast cooking and cleanliness, and its unique flavor comes from a base of chili and peanut broth.

Guobaorou, in particular, is a must-order side dish with a tangy and unique taste that pairs perfectly with malatang. However, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with staff service, indicating room for improvement.

User Reviews

Most visitors express satisfaction with the taste of the food and the quick service. The numbing flavor of the malatang, chewy Guobaorou, and stir-fried noodles receive especially high praise.

On the other hand, there are reviews expressing disappointment with unfriendly staff and the composition of the Guobaorou meat, so service improvements are anticipated.

Nearby Transportation

It is conveniently located near Seongsu Station on Line 2, making it easily accessible by public transportation, and has become a regular dining spot for local office workers and residents.

Due to its proximity to the subway station, it gets crowded during lunchtime, so early arrival is recommended.

Value for Money Points

The pricing system, where you pay for as much malatang as you want, is reasonable, and even with added side dishes, the price remains mid-range, making it easy to enjoy without burden.

The broth is especially numbing and rich, providing great value for those who love spicy food.
