So Gong Dong Tofu House

Came here on a Thursday night. There were plenty of parking spots outside and even though there were a lot of people inside, we were seated right away. I forgot to check Yelp to see what was good here so I ordered the regular bimbimbap. Service was speedy and efficient and I got my food quickly (under 15 minutes). My bimbimbap came out in a metal bowl, not the sizzling stone pot that I'm used to seeing this dish in. Not a big deal cuz it meant I could chow down right away without waiting for it to stop fogging up my glasses and cool down substantially. However I did wish that my food was hotter. It was just kinda lukewarm which made me think whether it was made and just sitting in the kitchen for a while (I'm no Korean food connoisseur so maybe that's just how this dish is made/eaten if not in the stone pots?) On the flip side I liked that my bimbimbap wasn't oily or greasy like at most other Korean restaurants. I only squirted a little bit of their sauce into my bowl so overall it tasted healthy and homemade. At the end of the day, it was a cheap, satisfying meal especially since it came with all the side dishes and miso soup. I even had enough leftovers for breakfast the next morning. I'll probably be back and next time I'll try the tofu soup dishes haha

If you go for dinner on weekends, go earlier, or you end up waiting outside. The food is okay. We had tofu crab soup and hot stone bowel. Crab is frozen so the flavor basically depend on spices. Their small plates are pretty good. Price is okay for a weekend dinner but personally I would expect a lower price for what I get. In this area it might be difficult to find an authentic Korean restaurant with the same quality and price. So, not much to complain. :)a
