Eek, the food here is not at all what I remember it to be.
I came here a few years back and it was the best Soon Tofu I've had up to that point, but now it's not very good at all.
I got the original beef soon tofu because apparently they don't make the plain soon tofu spicy. So I asked the girl if I can choose the level of spice for the beef one and she told me it only comes in medium. This was weird because it gives you spice levels on menu's second page, but I didn't question it. My mom ordered the pork bone soup.
So our food comes out with stone pots filled with purple rice and it's usually really really good, but this time the rice was super duper soggy. Pretty disappointing. My soon tofu was pretty bland and not spicy at all. I think they needed to cook it for a bit longer because it was warm instead of bubbling molten lava hot when I got it.
In retrospect I should have just ordered the seafood one, but I was kind of confused and taken aback that they didn't serve the regular one spicy so I derped and just ordered the first one on the menu.
My mom didn't really like her pork bone soup either. She said it wasn't very tasty and there was only two pieces of pork bone in it.
Their side dishes were:
- Young Kimchi
- Heavily seasoned bean sprouts
- Fish cake
- Green Chinese veggies with all the water squeezed out of them
We've had plenty of Korean food and this place does not measure up. It's a shame that 'tofu house' is in their restaurant name because they don't really do it well... Buk Chang is definitely a lot better.
