Daniel GraysonDecember 30, 2017I am so full and happy: Kim chi jun and vegetable tofu soup made me feel this way. Go here, order these things, and over eat and you’ll feel good, too.

- kenan akbasOctober 4, 2015It's all sooooooo good. It's all handmade from the Kimchi, to the go-Chu-Jong (they grow their own soy beans) best Korean food the the Bay Area!!! -hands down.UpvoteDownvote
Srikanth KannanOctober 13, 2015Has quite a few options for the vegetarians. They serve the food quick. For a group of 9, we got all our entres within 5-7 minutes after ordering. Some of the entrees come with the kimchi soupUpvoteDownvote
The soon is nourishing and filling. My default is mushroom, spicy. If you take #smalls, they'll bring out a special tofu soup for them along with kid-size utensils. #TinyMightsUpvoteDownvote
Brian StraussDecember 15, 2022Get the kimchi pancake and any of the Tofu Soups!!! One of the best winter restaurants around.UpvoteDownvote
Fred Stevens-SmithSeptember 8, 2015Clearly one of the most authentic Korean restaurants in the Bay Area. Korean approved. Ignore the basics.

at the end of your meal, ask for tea and they'll add it to the stone bowl rice.

They'll make the soondubu super spicy if you ask them, a pretty decent Korean tofu soup place, with the old school community eat bench tables.UpvoteDownvote
Sherry LiFebruary 11, 2016Great service. Yummy tofu soup. The pumpkin pancake is great. Also the spicy pork was delicious.UpvoteDownvote
Devora ZMay 27, 2018Make sure to ask for egg for your soondubu - it’ll poach in the hot soupUpvote1Downvote

Amy GoldenAugust 2, 2014Delicious! We got there at 5:50, no wait. Our favorite was the medium spicy tofu soup. Yum.UpvoteDownvote
The rice is made to order in stone pots. It's very special to have your personal pot of steaming rice, or a larger pot for the table. They say it taste better this way, instead of the rice cooker.UpvoteDownvote
