The mighty Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu has some competition in town! Tofu Village is a new player in the Annex's tofu game...and it's fantastic.
Here are my notes:
1. The soon tofu is da bomb bizzle. The Chinese would say that it's more "waht" than the tofu at Buk Chang. That means the shiz be silky smooth like my botoxed balls, ya heard? A bargain at $7.
2. There's a damn spicy cold noodle dish for $9 or $10. Like a Jarvis Street hooker, it burns so good (so I am told). There's also a nice egg and tofu pancake app for $6 or $7 that is forgettable, but not regrettable.
3. There's a serious lack of menus here. Maybe five for the whole restaurant, so they need to recycle them from table-to-table.
4. It's usually less busy than Buk Chang, though I suspect this might change as word gets out. If Buk Chang has a long line-up, do yourself a favour and walk four doors east to Tofu Village.
5. Since they're trying to impress, the staff attentiveness is quite good...for now. I suspect that in time, it will degrade to the more standard "eat fast and get out immediately" attitude of service.
6. There's paper place mats that have "learn Korean" on them. So when you're prepared, you can say "sa rang hae yo"! You may need to learn Korean to eat here since the servers don't understand much English.
From what I can see, there's definitely enough demand for another tofu baron in town.
