SGD Dubu So Gong Dong

SGD Dubu on Ogden Avenue specializes in soondubu jjigae, the fiery Korean soft tofu stew that arrives bubbling violently in a stone pot with a raw egg cracked into the boiling broth. The Original Tofu Stew anchored our meal, a brick-red stew loaded with silken tofu, vegetables, and your choice of protein in a gochugaru-based broth that delivered heat from the first spoonful. The stone pot keeps the stew at a rolling temperature throughout the meal, and the egg slowly cooks into ribbons that add richness. The Seafood Tofu Stew brought shrimp, clams, and squid into the mix for a briny variation that added depth to the spice. Each stew arrives with banchan, the spread of small Korean side dishes that includes kimchi, pickled radish, and seasoned bean sprouts. The Korean BBQ menu offers galbi and bulgogi cooked at the table for those who want a different experience. The dining room is clean and functional, designed to handle the steam and sizzle of multiple stone pots arriving simultaneously. For Korean comfort food built around a single signature dish, SGD delivers an intense and warming experience.
