Mashisoyo gets five stars from me. In addition to the eats being delicious--"mashisoyo" means delicious, after all--the owners are just insanely nice. It was only my second time there and the lady instantly recognized me and greeted me with a warm and genuinely welcoming smile.
I'm slowly making my way through their sundubu offerings. I started with the combination a few weeks ago. I won't say it's better than Mr Tofu, but any differences are negligible, especially with it being a shorter drive from my house. Tonight, I tried the curry flavor. What a brilliant idea. All the goodness of the soft tofu, but with a nice curry broth instead.
Here's a tip. If one of you wants sundubu and the other wants a BBQ item, order one of the combinations. You get the BBQ item, an ever-so-slightly smaller bowl of sundubu, and some sort of dessert (tonight it was some fruit and a French coffee). The extra bowl of rice will cost you a dollar, but this combo worked out perfectly for Jieun L and me.
OK. I think I have six more visits to complete my quest. Next up, I'll try the oyster sundubu.
