Formerly Todamgol, Currently Sogongdong. This used to be my favorite local restaurant. Now that it has changed ownership, I am disappointed. The food seemed to be a fusion of Hispanic and Korean food. Not what I signed up for. The kitchen was blasting music too loud for a dining experience, and my feet were sticking to the floor. So sad to lose the little gold mine it used to be.

Only so so. Got three different dishes but all tasted the same, and not very good. Kimchee pancake was good.

Honestly I feel unwelcome and like I don't belong everytime I come into this restaurant. Maybe because I'm not korean, I'm black, and the staff barely knows english. But the food is so good I've come back for more. Honestly if I knew of a more friendly authentic Korean restaurant in town I would go to that one instead. But the food brings me back everytime. Please work on your customers service and become more accepting of other races that's within the very diverse community of Lagrange!

This place falls really short of all the Sogongdong restaurants I've been to. Not a very welcoming place at all and staff is rude. I came in with my daughter and fiancé and they treated me like I did not know anything about Korean culture or foods they eat..when in fact I am part Korean and take after my Korean side more. We were treated poorly unlike the full Koreans that were there. My rice arrived after my side dishes, and I was ready to open to eat a little with my kimchee since I was super hungry and the lady told me I was NOT allowed to eat my rice and had to wait. Just who the hell do you think you are talking to?.. I already know what she is getting at..let the rice burn and pour Korean water on the bottom for rice water...but I'm a customer, and if I don't want to do that, then I don't have to. It rubbed me the wrong way.
The lady with short hair didn't even know what was in the haemuel bibimbap and couldn't answer a single question on the menu.
While I was eating there was a foul taste, but kept eating. At the end I puked so much and was so sick out both ends, the 3 hour ride home was miserable.
Only nice lady was the long curly hair lady. She made some Korean tea that's mixed with Korean water. Reminded me when my mom use to make all the time.

Things to keep in mind when ordering submissions I ordered two pig's trotters today, and when I got there around 4:30, I don't know if it was the employee or the owner, but he said, "How much is two pig's trotters?", and after paying, he pointed to a bag in front of the counter and said that was that, so I brought it out, drove, and was almost getting to LaGrange Home Depot when my wife called. I just got a call from the store and they said they only gave me one and asked me to get another one... I was so annoyed... I had no choice but to turn around and go back, but when I got there and went in, there was only a bag in front of the counter and no one in sight, so no matter how many times I called, there was no answer. After about 30 seconds, someone came out and said sorry, but all the arrogant thoughts were running through my head and I was completely upset. I was thinking about hitting it, but I just endured it and came out... The conclusion is that Sogong-dong made normal sales and did not suffer any losses, and I lost the round-trip drive and time... Everyone who reads this article, please be sure to check and pick up food at the posted food store.
I came in here after being ignored at another Korean restaurant that was closer to my hotel. Although it was rainy and on the other side of town during rush hour, I really wanted Korean food. After seeing how busy they were I knew it was nothing but God that led me here.
I placed a togo order with the guy at the front counter and went to the grocery store while it was being prepared. When I got back my food was ready and I could already tell it was a lot, more than I could possibly eat in one sitting—so imagine my surprise when a lady chased me out the store with ANOTHER BAG full of banchan, salad, and various other sides ?
Not only was the food copious, it was fresh and delicious! So I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town.

Literally just happened. Walked in for lunch and had a table cleared, only for the hostess to seat two other people down who’d come in after me.
Will not be spending my money here ever.

Soft tofu kalguksu, galbitang, and soft tofu side dishes were all delicious. This is a truly delicious restaurant.
