Coming from Queens (Bayside/Flushing) and NYC where there are plenty of excellent Korean restaurants, SGD Dubu definitely hits the spot as a strong contender for the top go-to casual Korean restaurant.
They offer a limited menu (1 page, back to front) of popular Korean dishes, but what shines is that they do just about each item magnificently. I typically order the Tofu Stew (Soondubu) of varying ingredients with the hot stone rice, along with a nice big seafood pancake (haemul pajeon). Sometimes I stray over to the Galbi. All are cooked to perfection; hot stone rice is sticky and crunchy, seafood pancake is chewy and crispy, and the Galbi is falling-off-the-bone good.
Now, over to my favorite part: the banchan (side dishes). They stick with the same set of side dishes, but again they stick with what they’re best at: incredible flavors. I loved every. Single. Banchan. I could get full off of this stuff alone!!
The staff are attentive and take care of you, you feel welcomed as a guest.
Finally, the price is easier on the wallet compared to a standard Korean BBQ restaurant.
Overall, my definite go-to for a casual, affordable Korean restaurant in Westchester. Going...
Read moreA great place to eat at. Great service as well. Maybe could be a bit more friendly for people that are new to Korean food. In the beginning you will get small bowls of vegetables after you order which is common. If you get eggs as well they will be for you can crack them into the tofu stew. They are not hard boiled so don’t do it over the table. If you get a hot stone bowl of rice what will usually be done is you take the rice out into a bowl and with the remaining rice you scrap it off and ask for hot water to be put in. If the tofu stew is too hot then you can put some of it at a time into a smaller bowl as it cools quickly. I would recommend the seafood pancake as it is so delicious with the soy sauce. Also for tofu stew the scales of it being spicy is different. Regular spicy is not mild. If you like spice and it your first time here I recommend starting at little spicy first or if you really confident then regular spicy the you can decide if you want a spicier version next time. It really great place. And a really nice place for foods that...
Read moreHave lived around this area for almost a decade and have always loved this place and have gone regularly (more than 30 times). Although I have been slowly watching this place decline as time goes on. They raised the prices about 3 times and now a plate costs $30 from the original $21 it was. This place has also significantly reduced their portion size (almost cut it in half). This place used to have their bulgogi on a hot stone plate so full the meat would fall off, now it’s very little compared to what it used to which is sad to see, especially since they increased the price of this by almost $10. In addition, the service used to be extremely amazing, fast and very attentive. Now this place is stingy with giving sides and will refuse to give you anything past 2 refills. It’s also impossible to get a waiters attention even though this place is small. After giving this place several chances to redeem themselves, I will no longer be coming here as they have really stopped caring about...
