FROM OTHER DINERS
Great tofu stew experience in Seoul Korea. Spicy w/o the overwhelming heat. Stew came w/ a side of pork belly lettuce wrap. Delish!
Savoury, hearty and filling tofu stew. I got the 빨강순두부 (red soft tofu/ spicy tofu stew). The tofu was very soft and almost custard like. I wasn’t quite taken with it as I am more familiar with firmer silk tofu, but it was still good. The side dishes were also great.
No-frills tofu restaurant. I got the white soft tofu stew, it was simple and soothing for a cold day.
