| - Compared to most KBBQs here in town, the variety and setting does it for me at Tofu Hut. I stumbled on it after a get together with some friends after our first semester of radiology school ended. It was my first KBBQ outside of California and after trying the others like Woo Ché, Korean Garden and Kimchi Korean BBQ on the strip, Tofu Hut satisfies my palette and leaves me with a pleasurable stomach ache (from being soo full)! ;). Each and everytime I've come to this place, I'm with a huge group. Now, this place isn't super big but the staff, especially Rachel, is very accommodating and helpful. I'm not talking about groups of 6 or 8-- I mean groups of 12 and 15! If you've been there already, you know what I mean.
Most of the time, we visit this haven of BBQ late at night and go for the 13.99 special of AYCE. Aside from AYCE, they do have an ala cartè menu as well. Their side dishes and salad are a bonus to the festive and colorful flavor of Korean cuisine. My favorite is the pancake. The pancake is a mix of vegetables fried with batter usually served warm. The starchy texture brings more of a soft and chewy feel to the crunchy bunch of little appetizers they bring to you. If you come a little earlier in the evening, you can order steamed egg that I like to mix my rice with! A twist for the Asian folks or anyone who likes fried rice. What can I say? I work with what I got to make it the best! Haha! And now for the meat:
Brisket-- It's the most popular choice from the AYCE menu! The thin slices are easy and quick to cook and serve. They seem to burn really quick if you leave them on the grill for a minute longer as soon as they're browned. Add a bit of soy sauce or lemon while it's on the grill for extra flavor! ;)
Ribeye (bulgogi) -- The meatier of the meats! My personal favorite from the meat department. The ribeye is very tender and takes a bit longer to cook. The flavor is exceptional and I suggest adding a bit more to the
majority of your choice of meat. You can also order some garlic slices on the side that you can brown on the edges of grill! BOMB!
Marinated Chicken-- My least favorite. It takes a while to cook and you can't eat chicken when it looks like a vampire bit into it's neck. Unlike the red mea of the meat family, the chicken isn't as flavorful but if you like chicken with a bit of a spice to it, take the patience to cook it off to the side and get back to it when you can because it does have kick!
Beef tongue-- I was very skeptical about this one at first but after taking a chance to try it, it's really flavorful. It looks like the brisket so if you are only comfortable with having your own tongue in your mouth, ask your friends what's what before you start shoveling it into your face! ;). Burns quick, so pull it off the grill fast and enjoy!
Squid-- you have to be with someone who knows how to cook this right. if you aren't and you decide to be Mr. Iron Chef, just know that if you over cook it, you'll feel like Fido at home chewing on rubber! Add some vinegar and hot sauce with some garlic chips and you're set!
Pork belly-- Looks like a big slab of bacon and it tastes pretty much the same. I like to cook this one extra crispy like I do my bacon! Add some sesame oil (the stuff in the tiny dish with salt in it) for extra MM MM flavor!
Note: If you aren't a radish fan, don't eat the square vegetable in the reddish sauce, that's called daikon. But I always suggest trying everything once. Other yelpers will appreciate you taking one for the team! Oh, and if you decide to take your date here, give them a courtesy reminder that whichever car you decide to take will smell like BBQ for a few days! Hahaha ;) Happy eating!
