So Gong Dong is a Korean restaurant reputed to serve the most delicious sundubu in Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While sundubu is technically a type of tofu, we introduce it here as soft tofu stew to match the style of the shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a slightly spicy tofu soup boiled in an iron pot, which makes you strangely miss it during the slightly cooler winter months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of other delicious menu items such as voluminous pancakes, bulgogi, and the very popular iron plate kalbi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a casual shop with good cost performance, so please visit if you want to eat something warm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended Menu at So Gong Dong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you hear Korean restaurant, you might think of BBQ, bulgogi, or bibimbap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, these menus are popular at So Gong Dong too, but there is a menu item we recommend even more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sundubu (Soft Tofu Stew)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we recommend trying a slightly spicy level because the soup is incredibly addictive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, there are various types of soft tofu stew, but Seafood Sundubu is the No. 1 popular menu item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original is beef and pork, but seafood such as clams and shrimp matches the pot well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seafood Pancake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Seafood pancake with a crispy surface and fluffy inside, perfectly matching the secret sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a taste you can rarely experience, so please enjoy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
