So Gong Dong - Palisades Park

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!!

I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! It was my first time trying Korean food, and it was absolutely delicious. The portions were large and filling, and the prices were reasonable. I ordered the beef bibimbap, which was amazing. The restaurant has a beautiful, secluded location that adds to the overall experience. The staff was extremely friendly and even took the time to explain some additional dishes to me that I had never tried before. I highly recommend this place!

My favorite Korean restaurant in NJ ever. We alway order Squid bbq and tofu spicy soup is the best comes with hot stone bowl rice

I came to the restaurant at 11:30 with my husband and parents for lunch. It was not too crowded at that time, with a few big groups but still enough space for us. We may have ordered too much food because we had a lot of leftovers the next day. Here is everything we ordered: The Korean Style Corn Cheese was delicious, hot, and very cheesy. It was the perfect amount for four people without being too greasy. The Tteokbokki with added cheese was a bit too saucy and heavy after the corn cheese. The BBQ Squid had a great taste, although it was difficult to cut with the provided scissors. The Seafood Pancake was filled with various seafood but I'm not a big fan of Korean pancakes. The Soondubu special with wild seeds and beef, soft tofu, shrimp, oysters, and clams was hot and delicious, served with stone rice. The Galbi was delicate and flavorful, served on a hot plate, and my favorite dish along with the Banchan. The Banchan was not exaggerated and the staff was attentive in refilling it. My favorite Banchan were the Kimchi and radishes. I have been to other SGD locations and the quality is consistently good. Writing this review makes me want to go back now!

The portion size of the Bibimbap is generous and has a very traditional taste. However, the spicy baby octopus dish was a bit disappointing as it had mostly pork belly and very little octopus.
