Tobias SchmidtJuly 29, 2018Extremely good tofu soup and lots of tasty banchan to go with it. I like things spicy and thought medium was just about perfect
Soosie ChoiApril 25, 2013Order the mushroom tofu soup (medium spicy) and the cold noodles (add a touch of mustard) and share between the two. The hotness of the soup and the ice cold of the noodles work well with each other!
Gary Eng WalkSeptember 2, 2014I miss the tennis balls on the feet of the chairs (they installed scratch resistant floors) but the tofu is still excellent. Try the #14 if you like octopus.
An ShengJuly 31, 2021Great food and service! Clams were tender, not chewy like in most soondubus. Bulgogi was also tender and tasty. The mackerel was crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside
Derrick YuSeptember 9, 2015This is the place to go for tofu soup. Hot, spicy, and delicious. Owner is super-friendly. Banchan selection (for lunch) is limited. Come early because it fills up quick!
Caroline DengMarch 13, 2017Love the Korean appetizers that come with the tofu pots. The Fried Noodle hotpot with purple rice is good. Also, you should try the kimchi pancake.
Kat 🐱June 18, 2017The spicy beef stew is pretty good! Be aware that medium spicy can get pretty spicy (especially when the soup is hot).
Andrea LeeSeptember 11, 2011The sign is only in Korean, so you won't see "SGD" anywhere. Great tofu soup, but not very spicy. The spicy tofu soup is only "medium" in my opinion. You can ask for extra spicy.
Shruti NarayanMay 23, 2013Mushroom soup is awesome, and its veggie too, ask for the special spicy sauce- Edward HsuMarch 31, 2013All of the tofu soups are amazing and you can add ramen! And get the seafood pancake!
HeyunAugust 25, 2013Their regular spicy isn't very spicy...coming back for the extra spicy next time!
Eddy BMarch 19, 2013LOL I see the tennis balls another person mentioned! The side dishes here for lunch suck. The palo alto location (with i think the same name or owner) is much better
Adrian LiuAugust 5, 2011You can order #14 with noodles and then substitute the ingredients from 1-12
Teresa Wheeler-KyleMarch 13, 2012Come early if you can. The parking lot really fills up around noon.- Kathleen NgoAugust 12, 2014Galbi is just okay. Stick with soondobu and take advantage of the banchan.
When there's a long wait, cheerful older man makes balloon animals for customers to pass the time!
Brendan McDonaldSeptember 10, 2014Everything is bomb. The food is deceptively filling: order accordingly. Spicy isn't crazy spicy--unless you're sensitive don't be afraid to go for it.
