SGD So Gong Dong Tofu & BBQ in Hackensack, NJ brings the bold, comforting flavors of Korean home cooking to the heart of northern New Jersey. Known for its signature soondubu jjigae (spicy soft tofu stew), sizzling Korean BBQ, hot stone bibimbap, and a variety of flavorful small plates, SGD offers a casual yet satisfying dining experience rooted in tradition.
The restaurant draws inspiration from So Gong Dong, a culturally rich district in central Seoul once home to Princess Kyoung-Jung, daughter of King Taejong. This historic area houses several important Korean landmarks, including Sungnyemun, the first designated National Treasure of South Korea and a protective gate from the Joseon Dynasty.
SGD’s floral emblem is inspired by the intricate designs found on Sungnyemun, while the use of gold reflects the royal heritage of So Gong Dong. Through this symbolism and their cuisine, SGD aims to share the spirit and legacy of Korean culinary tradition with the world.
