Best Pajun (scallion pancake) & SoonDoobu (spicy tofu stew). I'm a regular here- for those items, but everything else is not that great to me. but there's better in the northend than this place.

I didn't realize how delicious this place is for tofu until I actually left Seattle. It definitely holds up on a national scale. The atmosphere is your typical Korean 'kinda' dirty restaurant fare....

I've tried several Korean restaurants and this one tops the chart. It's most famous for their tofu soup but the meat dishes are top notched. Dishes to try tofu draft soup, kalbi and bulgogi. The so...

The haemul pajeeon stands out (8/10) , chigaes so-so (5/10)and barbeque rather mediocre(4/10 too sweet), panchan was barely passing(3/10) and service was below acceptable standards(3/10 and not worth the tip)....

Korean noodle soup is just what is needed for those cold, dreary days of soon-to-be-winter when the sun is AWOL for too long. Ho Soon Yi is unpretensious and serves some of the best tasting broth...

Most of the reviews of this restaurant said that the food was great and the service not so great. I would respectfully beg to differ. The food is probably great if you're a Korean. If you're a westerner, you...

They are famous for their (homemade?) soft TOFU hot soup. The tofu is so soft that melts in your mouth literally and the soup will do everything for you especially in cold winter. However, being a pop...
