Order So Gong Dong Korean BBQ – DoorDash
Reviews
We first found this place like a year or two ago and absolutely loved it. I would always get the soondubu with kalguksu. (Tofu stew with korean knife cut noodles) It was superior to all other soondubu and was perfect. The flavor and the noodles were fresh. My husband also really liked the beef bulgogi. The prices were really good at the time too. Then they introduced a tofu dish that was great. My husband and I would fight over the last piece everytime we ordered it. It was spicy and and saucy and you could get it in a bento box with spring rolls, rice, and salad. The spring rolls were also amazing. We ate here once to twice per week.
The past 6 months things have went downhill!!!! I am SO SAD!! There is no other place near me that has good korean food for takeout that i know of, but this place is so bad now that we have decided not to eat here anymore.
First they started getting rid of the korean food on the menu! They stopped serving kalguksu. Then the quality of the food became horrible not long after. We tried three times after getting horrible food hoping it was just a bad day, but it wasn’t.
The tofu dish is no longer saucy or even edible. It is super oily and the consistency of the tofu is a joke. Just this past week we decided we will never be going back as the tofu was inedible and instead of sauce they just use oil now. The spring rolls have also changed. They are not nearly as good as before. My husband says the beef bulgogi has also become inedible. And the staff isn’t the same as they used to be. So sad to see this place go from amazing to horrible 🙁
I know it’s a chain so I hope that whoever was in charge when it was good can fix it!
Once home, I discovered that I had been handed the wrong order. Think it was shrimp bibimbap though it was mostly onions over lettuce in sauce, giving the benefit of doubt, perhaps it was customized. Driving 20+min each way to exchange it wasn’t appealing & they couldn’t legally give it to the correct customer after a return, so opted to eat what I was given. The onion was so overwhelming that even picking all of it out didn’t help. Reluctantly threw away the meal after my husband also couldn’t stomach it. A waste.
Tried calling for a refund or credit but no one answered and there is no other way to contact them listed. Couple hours later I gave up and drove back to Plainsboro for the refund. Clearly a glutton for punishment, but spending $ on nothing isn’t my jam. There was 1 employee there but a language barrier prevented us from communicating. Think that also explained why no one was answering the phone, I assumed it had been off the hook but I could hear it ringing nonstop in the vicinity. She seemed nice but def couldn’t help me with a refund or credit so finally I tried handing her my receipt and was surprised when she pulled out my original order. It had been sitting there for several hours by this point, but as this was clearly the best I was going to get I thanked her and took it home.
Despite everything, I wouldn’t have left this review if it hadn’t turned out to be such a majorly disappointing tofu stew. Very little flavor, the only vegetables were some disintegrating broccoli and a slice or 3 of shiitake. Didn’t come with kimchi.
Really wanted to love So Gong Dong but after this experience I’d best stick to groceries at the market.
