What a wonderful experience! My first time trying Korean food and it was delicious. Big, hefty portions of food at a reasonable price. I had the beef bibimbap. Lovely location that feels private and homey. The staff were so friendly and explained some side dishes I had never seen before. I can't recommend this place enough!

The service was prompt and the Bi Bim Bap was delicious. The portions were generous and the price was right. Highly recommend.

Hands down the best Korean place I’ve tried. All other places lack in comparison. The seafood pancake is always on spot. Everything I’ve tried has been great. The galbi and the beef tofu soup are a must! I go back at least twice a month!!

Came in for lunch at around 11:30 on a Sunday with my husband and my parents. It wasn’t too crowded at that point. There were a few large groups but we still felt like we had enough space. We ordered a bunch of dishes - probably too much because we had a ton of leftovers for lunch the next day. Here is everything we ate:
Korean Style Corn Cheese - this was soo good. It was piping hot and super cheesy. It’s heavy but it was the perfect amount for four people without feeling too greasy
Tteokbokki - we added cheese to this, which was a mistake after eating the heavy corn cheese. It’s also very saucy, maybe a little too saucy. This was everyone’s least favorite
BBQ Squid - this had great flavor. I wish they had cut it up for us but they just gave us a pair of scissors and it was very difficult to cut. Because I this, I expected it to be chewy, but thankfully it was not
Seafood Pancake - filled with lots of morsels of seafood but not a huge fan of Korean pancakes in general
Soondubu Special (wild seeds and beef, soft tofu, shrimp, oysters, and clam). Good but pretty standard. This is nice if you just want a bowl of something hot and comforting. It’s served with stone rice and I love the crispy edges of the rice
Galbi - so tender and flavorful and comes served on a sizzling hot plate. This was everyone’s favorite dish
Aside from the galbi, the other thing I loved was the banchan. They aren’t skimpy with it. When they notice you running low, they’ll replenish it for you - most of the time before you even get the chance to ask. There’s kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cakes, soy radish, bean sprouts, and spinach (?) with gochujang. My top banchans we’re definitely both kimchis and the radish. I could probably just eat this with rice and be happy.
I’ve been to other SGD locations and the quality across is usually pretty consistent. Writing this review now makes me want to go back already!

The portion of bibimbap is pretty large and very classic flavor. But the spicy baby octopus is kind of disappointing… mostly pork belly inside but very few octopus.

No frills Korean restaurant! The prices are amazing compared to Manhattan :) why go there when you can enjoy a spa day at SOJO or Spa King and finish the evening with some amazing Soon Tofu chigae!

This place was amazing! The service was fast, the bulgogi was well seasoned and tender and same goes for the hot chicken and cheese!! Parking was cheap and easy as well - it was 25 cents for every 30 mins. Would definitely go there again!

Amazing place for soondubu (Korean tofu soup!) the prices are veery reasonable. The atmosphere is very serene and relaxing.
The food was very very delicious. The seafood pancake is probably the best I’ve had anywhere. There’s an abundance of shrimp and squid stuffed in it.
The tofu soup with beef and seafood is fantastic. Lots of beef and clams (plus a couple of mussels and a shrimp). Delicious!!! There are five levels of spicy you can choose from.
The bbq bul go ki was also very good.
