So Kong Dong Tofu & BBQ

So we have gone here several times but this last time was 3 weeks ago and we were disappointed we got the spicy pork and we went at 11;30am during the week and the pork was small pieces and on the dry side it went up in price to $25.00 it went up $5.00 from 2 months ago. We got 2 of them. And the customer service went down to she served the food and never checked on us. And we had to call her over to get our check. My daughter said she didn’t deserve a tip but I still gave her one. But we definitely will not be going back and we will be looking for a new korean restaurant.

It’s a nice Korean restaurant in a not very nice area 😂 but the food was top tier! We ordered bulgogi and ox bone soup they tasted delicious! The server was very nice even tho she’s on her own deal with all the tables but she worked really really hard

For authentic Korean cuisine in Portland, head to Southeast.

Sokongdon serves classic, home-style Korean dishes with warm, welcoming service. It's the kind of place where Korean food is both served by and enjoyed by Korean people—always a good sign. The flavors are comforting, the atmosphere is inviting, and there's plenty of parking.

Stop by and enjoy a truly satisfying meal.

Delicious and you can add more spice if you’d like. The banchan was great as well. We both got the seafood soon tofu and beef on the side - everything was flavored and seasoned well. Would def go back!

I've been coming to this restaurant for the past 2-3 years. The food is amazing, i love it, my family loves it. Theres tons of options from the menu. My go-to would be a meal combo included with a meat tray to cook. it's on the expensive side tho. Seafood pancake is a must. Overall, super delicious, filling, with lots of variety, and lots of sides. They used to not charge you on refills for salads and sides, kinda sad about that now. It also depends on who's serving you, because some may be more generous than others. It gets incredibly crowded around dinner time. If you're in there for a long time, the smell can stick onto your clothing, and you'll end up smelling like meat after. It's no biggie. Just come prepared wearing a hat or whatever you're comfortable with. This restaurant is for anyone, including vegetarians. Solid choice for korean bbq 👍.

Pretty good. I went there with our friends which one of them are korean. It's pricy for what it is. However, I'm cheap and don't like paying $20 for a plate.

Rude, racist maybe? (Chinese, Taiwanese, or HK?) workers. I agree that they need to relocate and hire new staff asap. Food tastes bad, if they serve soup served in smaller container when they are supposed to use big containers, isn't that basically theft? These employees are risking criminal charges if they are doing that.

Everything good

I live in the state of California. i had a short vacation in portland and i had a great experience at so kong dong tofu & bbq restaurant. The food here is very delicious, the price is not too expensive. What impressed me most at this restaurant was the attitude of the female waitress who was very professional, considerate and polite. That girl has dimples, when she smiles she looks so cute, unfortunately I don't know her name.
nonetheless, this restaurant is a place worth returning to and deserves a 5 star rating. I will definitely recommend to all my relatives and friends

I am a diner from Texas who had the opportunity to visit relatives in Portland and was invited by them to this restaurant for a meal. What impressed me most, besides the delicious food, is the way the Vietnamese waitress is very cute, considerate, and takes care of the guests very well. This is a plus point for the restaurant. And this will make me remember forever when I have a wonderful day of experience here. I will come back and introduce more of my friends to dine here. I think in addition to delicious food, the restaurant should maintain and promote such good service. That is the factor that keeps diners. I feel very happy and satisfied to come here from far away and receive such attentive service. I want the next time I come back here to see happy and considerate smiles like the Vietnamese waitress in the good restaurant.

Ordered a pork soon tofu stew from here for dinner. It was quite late so there were very few customers. However, the staff were not very friendly. It was a big contrast to all the super friendly customer service we've recieved the whole time we were in Portland. The stew was good, not spicy enough. The pork was a little too tough. The rice was too mushy, and not what I expected from rice that was cooked in a stone bowl.
