So Gong Dong

I love local food. I love Korean food, Vietnamese food, Hawaiian food, Japanese food, Chinese food, Plate Lunch, etc., etc. So when I'm back at home in Honolulu, I head out to all my local haunts. Since a good Korean restaurant is nowhere near where I live in Phoenix, I try to eat as much Korean food as I can here.

My sister told me that So Gong Dong at the McCully Shopping Center on Kapiolani Blvd. is the place to go. So my mom, Cathi, Alex, Colin and I headed out there for dinner one evening. I've driven by the place so many times, but have never been in it.

They ordered the Soon Doo Boo (Tofu Soup), which is supposed to be the best in town, and the seafood pancake. I ordered the Yukgaejang, a spicy beef soup with rice noodles, and ate the banchan (vegetable side dishes). It was pretty yummy, but I still prefer Peppa's on Wilder Ave. or their other location on King St. next to the Zippy's.
