So Gong Dong is a Korean restaurant reputed to serve the most delicious sundubu in Hawaii.
While sundubu is technically a type of tofu, we introduce it here as soft tofu stew to match the style of the shop.
It is a slightly spicy tofu soup boiled in an iron pot, which makes you strangely miss it during the slightly cooler winter months!
There are plenty of other delicious menu items such as voluminous pancakes, bulgogi, and the very popular iron plate kalbi.
It is a casual shop with good cost performance, so please visit if you want to eat something warm.
Recommended Menu at So Gong Dong
When you hear Korean restaurant, you might think of BBQ, bulgogi, or bibimbap.
Of course, these menus are popular at So Gong Dong too, but there is a menu item we recommend even more!
Sundubu (Soft Tofu Stew)
It looks spicy from the appearance, but you can actually choose the spiciness, so it is no problem at all even for those who are not good with spicy food.
But we recommend trying a slightly spicy level because the soup is incredibly addictive!
By the way, there are various types of soft tofu stew, but Seafood Sundubu is the No. 1 popular menu item.
The original is beef and pork, but seafood such as clams and shrimp matches the pot well.
Incidentally, if you order the soft tofu stew, plenty of rice and side dishes come with it for free, so please be careful not to order too much!
Seafood Pancake
Seafood pancake with a crispy surface and fluffy inside, perfectly matching the secret sauce.
By the way, the menu lists it as "Haemul Pajeon" (Korean style pancake with seafood and green onion), but rest assured that saying "Pancake" or "Chijimi" will work!
It is delicious at any shop with a seasoning that everyone loves, but So Gong Dong’s pancake feels like it is one rank higher.
Since it has full volume and excellent cost performance, it is good to eat little by little with a large group, or to order as a main dish for one person!
It is a taste you can rarely experience, so please enjoy it.
