SongDo Restaurant 송도식당

Really good korean food. They're always jampacked with people willing to wait for 30 minutes during peak hours. Us included! We've tried so many dishes from their menu and everything we've tried was great.nnIf you are willing to wait, you can walk around or do some window shopping in New World or Chemist Warehouse nearby. There are benches across the road too. There's Browns Bay Library too if they're still open.

Altang probably is the best I have in Auckland area, the fried chicken is also quite nice, and all the side dishes are very fresh. Highly recommended!

Been on a bit of a Korean craze these days for some reason. This is another gem. Why don't we have more good Korean restaurants in central :nEverything here is delicious. Please try it all. You won't regret it.

Loved the backbone soup, it's my go-to place for it on the shore.nnThe soup is rich and flavourful, the pork backbone is well chosen and prepared, no foul pork taste and no unnecessary fat, they give a generous serving of tender and meaty pork backbone.

We recently discovered Songdo Restaurant in Browns Bay through Uber Eats, and wow, were we in for a delightful surprise! After sampling nearly all the Korean fried chicken in Auckland, we decided to venture into their stir-fried pork and bibimbap. The pork was incredibly juicy and packed with flavor, complemented perfectly by the sides. The beef bibimbap was rich and had the perfect blend of sweet, sour, and the extra heat I craved – truly one of the best I’ve had.nOn our second visit, we placed a pick-up order directly from the restaurant. The place was spotless, cozy, and beautifully lit. The owners were warm and inviting. I stuck with the bibimbap, while my husband ordered the stir-fried beef bulgogi. The bulgogi was tender yet chewy, bursting with flavor, and made with the freshest ingredients. My second round of bibimbap didn’t disappoint – it was consistently delicious, with well-cooked rice, perfectly balanced flavors, and just the right level of spice I had requested.nnPortion sizes are generous, and their kimchi is also a standout. If you’re a fan of Korean cuisine, this place is a must-try!
