| - Authentic, Home Cookin' Korean!
As you can see from my photo, I'm a white dude, but growing up around lots of Korean friends and culture, I definitely know my way around a few H.O.T. albums and jars of kimchi in the garage. The food at Mashisoyo is homey and authentic in the best way.
The owners greeted me with sincere smiles as I walked in for dinner on a Thursday evening with a friend. We sat down in front of a TV playing some K-pop stuff, which is still entertaining, even if your Korean isn't so good.
We ordered the Seafood Soon Dobu (tofu soup), and the Haemul Paejun (scallion and seafood pancake). The Pancake was HUGE, and full of lots of tasty shrimp, calamari, and octopus. I like my Paejan crispy, and because of the size of this one, some parts could have been cooked a little longer, but it was still very tasty. The soon dobu was delicious, and had more seafood than Finding Nemo. Lots of mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari made this eat more like a stew than a soup. It was hearty and spicy and wonderful.
Mashisoyo is hidden in a small shopping center across the street from Walmart and next to a Tropical Smoothie place on Ft. Apache.
Make sure you come check out this repeat-visit-worthy, mom and pop tofu stop!!
