Bonghwasan Seolleongtang in Wonju's Dangye-dong operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, built around a deeply rich broth made purely from ox bones. A large cauldron of boiling soup is visible through glass to the left of the entrance, announcing the restaurant's specialty before guests even sit down. The standard seolleongtang features a clean, mild broth with somyeon noodles and beef, becoming a filling meal when rice is added, while the spicy ugoji seolleongtang delivers a sharp, warming kick that provides genuine heat. The menu extends across a range of soup categories including galbitang, doganitang, and kkori-gomtang, and the spicy galbi-jjim offers tender meat that works well as a supplementary order. The egg custard is cooked to order in an earthenware pot, producing a fresh, silky texture. Another defining strength is the kimchi: made fresh daily in a geotjeori style with generous seasoning, it carries a sweet-spicy freshness that pairs perfectly with the soup. The kkakdugi is equally well-prepared, and both are refillable without limit. A suyuk (boiled beef) option is available, though the half-portion platter draws mixed opinions on its value relative to the price. Cash payment earns a 10 percent point reward, which benefits frequent visitors. The dedicated parking lot is spacious with smooth traffic guidance, and the restaurant fills to capacity even at 8 AM on Sundays, reflecting its strong local reputation. The serving staff are notably warm and attentive, and the round-the-clock operation makes this a reliable stop during business trips or travel through Wonju at any hour of the day or night.
