I have to say that after having Buk Chang http://www.yelp.ca/biz/buk-chang-dong-soon-tofu-toronto-2#hrid:-6aabdWFC578uyB-DaEe-A a handful of times recently, and visiting Owl of Minerva http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-owl-of-minerva-markham#hrid:dkpR7cFBfI5b-vTk85kMEA , HoSu http://www.yelp.ca/biz/ho-su-bistro-toronto-2#hrid:5aGYarz_0wDRn5CjXlZUmg and First Markham's Sogong http://www.yelp.ca/biz/sogong-dong-tofu-house-markham#hrid:3LUMtZVV9GgpWgI2cMd16w for soon tofu since I wrote my last review, I think its time for an update.
House of Soon is by FAR the best. I eat the vegetable soon tofu which comes bubbling hot, with an egg and purple rice in clay pot. It comes super Spicy if you want it, you get 5 side dishes including killer kimchi and those delicious potatos.
Two of the above restaurants served white rice instead which was lacking. Owl of Minerva didn't give me an egg.
The food here is top quality and the service is incredible. This last Friday we visited with some Korean food newbies. The server was asking them questions and explaining everything without any attitude whatsoever. They are respectful, and your side dishes are constantly replenished along with your tea. You get zero intimidation here. If you don't understand what something is, or if you will like it, they do not give you "really?-then-why-are-you-here-huh-fried-rice-and-chicken-balls"
We tried the seafood pancakes on the last visit which were fantastic. They OWNED ka-Chis. Must try.
I am with Lauren M. This is my FAVORITE Korea town resto as well., and perhaps one of my favorite Toronto restaurants as well. AMAZING.
