| - About a year ago, there was a line out the door at Pho Kim Long across the street and I thought, "Well, why don't we try something new? How about that Tofu Hut place across the street with the all you can eat? How bad can it be?"
Thankfully, the experience wasn't bad at all and I've been back a number of times since then. (Note: This was also my first Korean BBQ experience. Thank you, Tofu Hut for being open super late to offer this!)
This is on the cheaper/lower end of the Korean BBQ spectrum that Spring Mountain offers, (IMO the higher end being Honey Pig, but that's another review altogether.) Their all you can eat specials really do it here with AYCE (13.99). Tons of decent food with about 12 choices available of meat to cook, about eight side dishes, salad, a pretty rockin' tofu soup, and the whole thinly sliced meat combo.
My only complaint is that there is no AYCE for one person, you need to have at least two. :(
The staff here, as one review stated, is always flustered because they get huge groups of loud crowds that show up half drunk and the place ends up mobbed and they're unfortunately under-staffed. The staff here is friendly and I get a kick out of the Korean programs they show on the television, which are usually karaoke or K-reality programs.
If you go at night, particularly Friday or Saturday night, this is a hot spot for after-the-club crowd around 1/2/3AM. So if you're looking for a quiet dinner, I don't recommend it on those particular nights.
My current favorite thing there is their tofu dumpling soup; spicy tofu soup with some hot dumplings simmering away in there. Their spiciness level is pretty good, although I could do with a PINCH more for medium.
I also recommend their bibimbap in the clay bowl as that sucker stays hot for quite some time and you can take your time.
