The Beef Short Ribs and sausage tofu soup were our kids’ favorites! The warm barley tea and all the side dishes were delicious too. Everything was so good!

As a vegetarian, I usually go into Korean restaurants expecting to have one or two options to choose from, so SGD was a really pleasant surprise. What stood out most was how many vegetarian dishes could be customized, which made it feel like I actually had choices instead of settling for the only meat-free item on the menu. The Hot Stone Bowl was easily my favorite. It arrived sizzling hot and stayed that way until the last bite. The combination of rice, noodles, vegetables, and sauce made it incredibly satisfying. The Tofu Soup was another highlight—rich, comforting, perfectly balanced, and honestly felt like a warm hug in a bowl. The fried veggie dumplings were a great side, while the veggie japchae was good but not quite as memorable as the other dishes. I also wasn’t expecting to love the banana milk coffee as much as I did—it ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the meal. The grapefruit matcha sparkling drink was light and refreshing as well. The service was warm and welcoming throughout, and it’s clear they care about making the experience enjoyable. If you’re vegetarian and have been hesitant to try Korean food, SGD is definitely worth a visit. I’ll absolutely

One of the best Korean meals I've ever had. The 갈비 GALBI was outstanding—the best I've ever tasted—and the portions were generous. We also ordered 떡볶이 tteokbokki and 파전 pajeon to go. Both were fresh, chewy, and delicious. The Sparkler drink and Korean-style coffee looked just like they do in K-dramas. They were the perfect, refreshing finish after a hot bowl of soondubu on a Chicago summer day. The staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place for authentic, delicious Korean food and will definitely be back.

As a Korean food queen 👑, I know this place is famous for its tofu soup… but I’m a meat girl through and through. 🔥 The galbi was so tender, and every sizzling dish on the hot stone looked incredible. Seeing the next table’s spicy pork gave me instant food envy, but I knew I wouldn’t be able to finish another order. Guess I need to come back soon. 🤤❤️

I have probably eaten Soon-Dubu more than a thousand times in Seoul, New York, LA, and various other places around the world. I can confidently say that this restaurant offers some of the best flavors I've ever tasted. The franchise consistently delivers the same great taste across its entire menu, but there is a subtle difference here: the food feels as though it is prepared and served with genuine care. I love the small, boutique-like atmosphere of the restaurant. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to try authentic Korean food beyond Soon-Tofu soups.
