Tofu Village

October 9, 2007 - It's starting to get cold and dreary in the evenings now. Last night was particularly grey so we decided to go out for tofu soup to warm us up. Usually we go to My Tofu House on Geary but today we decided to give someone else a try.

Tofu Village is on Irving and has been open for about 6 months. It's clean and has very simple, no frills, decor. We got there right before the rush and were seated and fed pretty quickly. We decided to share a dinner combo of tofu soup and beef bugolgi. Right after our order was taken, a small salad was brought to our table. Not long after that, all the neat little small dishes were brought out. They are what make going to Korean food so much fun. Bean sprouts, cold rice noodles, pickled cucumbers, kimchee, yucca, etc. Yum.

The beef bugolgi was really good. The beef was so soft and tasty. It came over a bed of onions and was a perfect combo. The tofu soup was only ok. It was a smaller bowl than we had expected, and the soup wasn't as tasty as we've had before. We were surpised to find shrimp and clams in with the tofu. Didn't realize that we had ordered seafood. Anyway, it wasn't great which is too bad because that's what we went there for.

So overall, the food was ok, the service was pretty good, and the place was clean. We'll probably go again sometime just because it's nearby.
