Okay, I know I'm from Philly and Philly is not known for having amazing Korean restaurants. That being said, I think Philly is blessed to have one of the best soondubu (soft tofu) houses on the east coast. I'm a little spoiled when it comes to soondubu restaurants. So this place was okay in comparison.
The location: It was close by the strip so when my friends and I were craving some filling, soupy, Asian food, this was easily one of the closest, most affordable places that came up.
The price: Affordable. It might even be cheaper than my beloved Jong Ka Jib back home in Philly. Also there is a $10 limit on credit cards, so if you're looking to pay for just one soondubu, bring some cash.
The service: There seemed to be ONE server for the entire place - for filling water, for bringing food, for hosting, for cashier, for taking orders. Just one guy. It was hard to get his attention, and I'm impressed that this place could be open with just one employee for the front of the house. But still, there were times where he would idle by in the back area of the place and I would be pining for some water or more banchan. He did indeed bring more spinach when asked for it; I was nervous to ask for the other side dishes after reading some reviews here.
The food: The side dishes are tiny, but decent. The soondubu itself is good. I ordered the pork one. Not as much tofu as I am used to, but a lot more chunks of pork. It wasn't pork belly, like how I am used to in my pork soondubu, but I think pork shoulder or butt? I am not sure. But I wish I could give this place 4 stars based on how much meat they gave me. I was a little upset that they cracked in the egg already for me - I am very picky with my egg. I was one of the lucky ones at my table that managed to have a soft, runny yolk. But other than that, the food was filling, yummy, and filled with meat.
I really wish I could give this place 4 stars, but the place itself was a little shoddy, the side dishes were not memorable, and the service was meager at best. The menu is also a little limited. If you don't mind all that is wrong, then come for some soondubu that is comparable to mom's (but not really, since mom's is best).
