So Gong Dong Soondubu

Very rude employees. After asking for my right chang, because she gave me a short change. As usual, I always ck on these kind of people. I was right. After getting my order, I asked a gentleman to come outside so I can talk to him about it. He knew what was going on and he didn't want to. And so he finally came out and I told him about it. His respond was unbelievable. No apologies. He just said, can you close the door...everyone makes mistakes...nobody's perfect. He was mad at me. So rude! No apologies at all. It's like I'm the one who's wrong. There are more places to eat at. I don't recommend this place.

The food and the service was great. We asked for more side dishes and without hesitation was delivered. The parking space is plenty, however when the restaurant was hard to find because it’s behind the main parking lot

Came here for my first meal after fasting for an operation. I had the Korean Miso Stew. The stew and banchan were delicious. Food was fast and delicious. Service was fast and friendly.

Got seated quickly by server who was pleasant and took my order. The problem was with the person who delivered the food to the table. He rushed and spilled quite a bit of the soondubu over the side of the bowl, didnt acknowledge, didn't apologize. When I pointed at it he yelled, “ I’ll clean it later!” The seafood in the soondubu was sparse, a few tiny shrimp, one mussel and a few clams. Adequate amount of tofu. Taste was ok.

Delicious Korea food. Service is ok, kid friendly, prices are average for a Korean restaurant. Easy parking, if the lot is full, there are meter parking.

I hear the food is good but we stood in the restaurant several minutes to be seated and were completely ignored. Not sure what happened

I had two orders. THEY DIDNT INCLUDE MY SECOND ORDER. I ordered from DoorDash. The DoorDash Driver told me that the restaurant told him there was two orders. I only got one order. I'm sure I know how to count.
Someone messed up. Never ever going to order from this restaurant again.

The chicken in the ginseng chicken soup was very dry, as if it had been cooked for too long, but the chicken soup was completely tasteless. Doenjang Offal Soup is even worse. The offal is super smelly and has a fishy smell that has not been washed away. It is really a very disappointing Korean food.

The food was good, especially the seafood pancake. I recommend getting the combo - one soft tofu type soup and and an entree. If you're eating with a +1 then they can just get a soup. That way you can save a few $$ and then you'll leave full.

Street parking is free in the evening after a certain time but they're doing construction right now for a new high rise across the street.

Overall, not a bad place - not something you'll write home about but will leave you satisfied.

Great spot for Korean Soondobu (Spicy Tofu Soup)!

I was craving some Soondobu since I haven't had it in a while and glad I came across this place. Typical Hawaiian price but it was well worth the meal. Just like most Korean restaurants came with a variety of side dishes called Banchan. This place had bean sprouts, spinach, potato, radish kimchi and regular kimchi (Korean spicy pickled cabbage).

They had a combo option to add on another dish so I had the one with fish. Not sure what fish it was but it was good. You definitely need to eat the soup and the fish with some rice as both were on the salty side.

They do have a variety of soon dubu but I have with the popular seafood option. If you like seafood, you can't go wrong with this option. The soup came with a mussel, a few clams, and a few shrimps. I think it gives it a better umami flavor to the broth as the soup comes out hot. They give you an egg to crack open and put it in as well.

All in all it was well worth it and if you want to try soon dobu this is the place to try it. Worth checking out!

Parking: I paid for street parking right in front of the store. Not much parking around that I saw.
