Sogongdong Tofu House

Both the regular bibimbap and the hot stone bibimbap are very delicious with a lot of veggies and meat. The regular bibimbap is slightly smaller than the hot stone one, but it’s totally sufficient for a person already. The central waiting line to put an order for any vendor in this food court is a bit inconvenient, but overall it’s a nice place for a hearty Korean lunch. We would love to come back.

Very good Korean food. I'd say it's just as good, if not better than places in Centreville and Annadale. Service is fast, and price is very reasonable.

Before I went there, I couldn't believe all the reviews about the restaurant. But after I tried all my dishes, I knew it was one of the best Korean restaurants in the US, even though it is a takeout-specialized store. It was an excellent experience for me.

Can't speak highly enough of the food here. Its in a food court so atmosphere definitely depends on how busy it is. However, the Kalbi (Beef Short Ribs) makes up for the atmosphere. It's a large portion (my husband and I shared this) that comes with rice, miso soup, and several condiments like kimchi, scallion pancake and pickled radish to enjoy together or separately. The Ramen also looked incredible. Simple and very accessible Korean food that is incredibly enjoyable. Will definitely return.

This is one of the 5 restaurants at the food court inside the H Mart Asian supermarket. It's the only one detached from the rest at the far end next to the restrooms. The way you go about ordering your food is a bit unusual. You would look around at each restaurant for the menu as well as mock samples and decide what you want. Then you have to go to a centralized ordering station, which is the second station from the back, to make your order and pay for your food. The number on your receipt would be announced via the loud speaker when your food is ready. But there's a twist - you have to pick up your food at the respective restaurant. If you order from multiple restaurants, you'd have no idea which one is ready when you hear your number announced. This could be confusing and frazzling, especially if you've never been here before, and/or you have a big party and your orders are all over the place! We've tried Sogongdong twice so far. The soft tofu stew (soondubu) is very standard, using the standard soondubu serving vessels and ingredients. They come piping hot and with a raw egg and 2 banchan sides. I've always had the seafood variety and I would recommend you the same. Unless you can't take seafood, there's simply no comparison how much more tasty the seafood broth is. I've tried the beef/seafood combo but I would not recommend it. The beef is almost always tough. Price is a bit cheaper than other soondubu joints, but you only get 2 banchan sides compared to 6-8. On the most recent visit, the sides were kimchi and pickled cucumbers. Tip: don't feel abashed to ask for banchan refill. They won't cringe. Also, make sure you crack the egg into the broth while it's still piping hot. I think this is my favorite among the restaurants at this H Mart food court. Give it a try when you're in town.

One of my favorite dishes of all time, Pork Bibimbap! So much flavor and food. I ordered this every time I'm in Frederick, MD.

Kimchi pancake is very very good !!
