| - As one of my favourite go-tos in Koreatown, Tofu Village is uncharacteristically clean and spacious. (even the bathrooms!)
I've only ever ordered their namesake, tofu soup, which comes boiling hot with a raw egg, and a stone-bowl of rice. Yum!
The spice factor can actually be customized however you like, although the menu lists mild, medium and hot only. If you say "really, really mild, like the mildest ever," your soup will be white...it might be a little bland, but that's what you asked for!
The servings are plentiful, and the side dishes are unlimited, as per the norm in Korean restaurants. My favourite part is the multigrain rice. It's sweet, soft, and good for you.
I know this makes me a huge human rights violating evil person, but some of the servers don't speak Korean, which I find a little jarring. My preferred language is English, but I'm conditioned to order food in Korean in Korean restaurants. On the positive side, everyone speaks English, so never fear, anglophones!
If you order takeout, they just give you regular white rice without the crispy stone bowl part, so that's kind of a loss. But, a whole meal for under $8? What more can you ask for?
