" If you’re looking for a casual eatery that serves authentic Korean comfort food, So Poong hits the mark. Their rice cakes are delightful, and the portion sizes are generous compared to what you pay. I've never left feeling hungry. The only downside is it can get cramped, especially during peak hours! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for So Poong, but my experience was not as expected. The fried chicken I ordered was dry and lacked seasoning. The service was okay but somewhat detached. I enjoyed the atmosphere, but I doubt I will return for the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lackluster experience. The tofu soup lacked seasoning and the kimchi tasted off. Although the place was quite busy, I felt the service could have been more attentive rather than rushed. I'm hoping my next visit will be better as I’ve heard good things from friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you haven't tried their spicy pork yet, you are missing out! It's everything you want from a Korean eatery. The flavors are crisp, and the service was incredibly friendly. So Poong is perfect for quick bites during busy school days, and they always keep the place clean and welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)

" While So Poong has potential, my last experience wasn’t great. Wait times were longer than expected, and I was given a cold dish that seemed like it was made hours before. The cozy atmosphere is a big plus, but the food quality must improve for me to return regularly. " (*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*)
