| - If you doo doo on Doo Roo, then I must call you cuckoo. While walking along Bloor street in Korea Town, I spied with my little eye a sign that said Doo Roo. Out of pure curiousity, I walked in and saw a nice spacious area that was quite clean. I took a look at the prices and I think they were reasonable. They seemed slightly more than the other shops in Korea Town, but not a lot. This place had much better atmosphere so I completely get it.
I ordered the Soon Tofu which is mostly tofu with some seafood and a cracked egg cooking in the soup. It was $7.10 so not as cheap as some other places in the area, but still very reasonable. However, it was more than worth the price because of the banchan/side dishes you get.
They gave me 7 side dishes!! It was crazy!
1. Some kind of Korean radish pancake - very yummy
2. Spied bean curd - decent
3. Potato salad - pretty good, but I have no idea what this has to do with Korean food.
4. Pickled cucumbers
5. Sprouts
6. Some kind of green veggie (not seaweed)
7. Kimchi - which tasted like it was made in house - very good but not too spicy.
They also offer free refills on these but I didn't want to be too much of a glutton, so I only asked for more kimchi.
As for the soon tofu, it was loaded with fresh tofu, wasn't too salty and came with purple rice. It had a delicate natural flavour without being too overpowering. Delicious.
Also, the service was wonderful. So what did this all come to with tax? $8.00. Yep. That's it. What a steal.
Verdict: I'm coming back Doo Roo!
