"Seong Buk Dong is a Koreatown legend for good reason. The strip mall restaurant is sometimes overshadowed by the constantly busy Dan Sung Sa, but those in the know push on past the pocha to share orders of some of the neighborhood’s best galbi-jjim (marinated short ribs), godeungeo jorim (braised mackerel), and bibimbap. Those looking for a bowl of something warm and comforting can find it in the kimchi jjigae (stew) and tteok guk (rice cake soup). When the restaurant first opened, Seong Buk Dong was just one small room with a kitchen in the back, but it has since expanded into a space next door, which doubles the dining area and makes it even easier to sidle up to a table at any time of the day. With generous portions, eating at Seong Buk Dong is best done with a group where multiple dishes can be ordered and shared. — Rebecca Roland, associate editor" - Eater Staff
