Love this place
Great food and service
Unique Korean hot-pots. Extra spicy is suicidal!!
"This is so good, it's ridiculous" is literally what I uttered to my wife.
My wife and I ended up here because I felt like having some spicy tofu soup. Usually I would end up going to our favorite KBBQ AYCE place, but now that my wife doesn't eat much, I feel like it's a waste of money to get AYCE when she doesn't eat all she can.
Lo and behold, Soy Tofu pops up. It was really a case of convenience that we ended up at Soy Tofu on a Saturday night around 7pm. Upon entering, we got a pleasant greeting right away and seated right away. I guess it wasn't busy yet.
Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. I've only been to a tofu house maybe one other time about 10 years ago and it wasn't a good experience. Anyways, onto the food.
I ordered a combo beef bulgolgi and beef tofu soup ($20) that comes with rice. The portions, I think are generous since I didn't finish my beef bulgolgi. But the star of the show was the spicy tofu stew. I don't know how to explain the flavors except that it was hearty, spicy and the perfect amount of savory I've been craving for the past week. To be frank, I could've just had the tofu stew ($11) and be good with it. My wife ended up ordering a combo as well with chicken and kimchi tofu soup ($18). To top it off, there is the thrifty ice dessert at the end.
Service: A+ / Food:A+ / Parking: A
I highly suggest coming here if you're looking for some excellent Korean food.
Tips: Don't be shy to ask for refilling the free appetizers and request purple rice instead of white rice.
Best tofu in town. The soup base is the soul of the tofu set lunch and dinner. It has improved over the last visit two months ago. Don't forget to ask for the hot corn tea and help yourself with the ice cream on the house...green tea, coffee, strawberry, and vanilla flavor.
Always great tofu soup. Owner is super nice.
