" I was excited to try So Poong after hearing great things, but I must say I was disappointed. My soup tasted like it had been reheated out of a can, and the kimbap had a soggy texture. I've had much better experiences at other places. The atmosphere was nice, but for the food, I was left wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit So Poong, I leave feeling satisfied and eager to return. The kimbap is fresh and filled with flavor, which is hard to find in other places. I also appreciate the clean environment and the attentive service. If you're looking for a quick meal that doesn't skimp on quality, this is definitely the place to be in Collegetown! " (*Curated Review*)

" I used to love this restaurant but my last visit changed my mind. The food quality seemed to have dipped, and the customer service left a lot to be desired. I waited over 20 minutes for my order, and when I finally got it, the food was lukewarm and bland. I really hope they can turn things around because I used to recommend this place to everyone! " (*Curated Review*)

" So Poong truly feels like home away from home! The flavors in their dishes remind me of family meals back in Korea. The kimbap is so fresh, and the portions never leave me hungry. I regularly recommend this to friends! Just be mindful of peak hours since it can get crowded. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible Korean food at a great price! I love how generous their portions are, making it an excellent choice for college students like myself. The kimbap is consistently fresh, and their banchan is simply delightful. The atmosphere may be cozy, but it adds to the charm of the place! Definitely coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was alright, perhaps my expectations were too high. Service was a bit slow and my dish, although decent, didn’t have the layers of flavor I love from authentic Korean food. I still appreciate the effort, and I might try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" So Poong has become my regular spot, especially for late-night cravings. Their kimchi stew is packed with flavor, and the prices are just right. It's rare to find such authentic Korean food that is both tasty and affordable in this area. I feel lucky to have discovered it! " (*Curated Review*)
