I sincerely ask: Is there any good Korean food in Boston?
đ„ SGD Dubu So Gong Dong: Quincyâs Korean ChainâMeh, But Not a Disaster Weekend plans for dim sum fell through, so we pivoted to this nearby Korean spot. The verdict? Underwhelmingly âfine.â Nothing to hate, nothing to rave aboutâjust⊠there. It got me thinking: Does Boston even have great Korean food? Drop recommendations in the comments, pleaseâIâm begging. đ The âMehsâ Tofu Soup (Soondubu Jjigae): đ„Ł Broth is fresh and savory, but the tofu? A letdown. Itâs pre-packaged, crumbly, and over-mashedânowhere near the silky, tender blocks I prefer. Texture-wise, itâs tough and grainy, lacking that âmelt-in-your-mouthâ quality. Dolsot Bibimbap: đ Flavors are on point (good sauce, fresh veggies), but itâs served in a warm plate, not a traditional stone pot. No crispy, caramelized rice crust? Thatâs the soul of bibimbap. Major bummer. Haemul Pajeon (Seafood Pancake): đŠ Crunchy, light, and nicely cookedâtexture-wise, itâs a win. But the dipping sauce? Bland and forgettable, like watered-down soy. A good pancake ruined by lackluster sauce. âš The Verdict Consistency: 3.5/5. Every dish hits âaverageâ squarelyâno highs, no lows. Itâs reliable if youâre hungry and nearby, but nothing to seek out. Chain Vibes: Theyâve got locations in the Bay Area and NYC (with better reviews there)âmaybe Bostonâs branch is just phoning it in? Budget Score: 3.5/5. ~$30 per person, fair for portions, but youâre paying for convenience, not excellence. SGD Dubu isnât badâitâs just boring. If you need a quick Korean fix in Quincy, it works. But Boston deserves better. đ SGD Dubu So Gong Dong Tofu & Korean BBQ 225 Quincy Ave, Quincy, MA 02169 #BostonKorean #QuincyEats #MediocreMeals
