🥘 Tofu Story: Allston’s New Korean Comfort Food Spot

Finally tried this new Korean joint in Allston, chasing that Sun Nong Dan vibe—and while it doesn’t quite hit LA levels, it’s a solid East Coast fix for cheese-topped stew cravings. Here’s the real deal on what to order (and what to skip): 🌟 Standout Dishes (Worth the Trip) Cheese Torched Galbi Jjim (Stewed Short Ribs) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 • Tender, fall-off-the-bone ribs in a sweet-spicy sauce, torched with mozzarella at the table • Sweet potato chunks add natural sweetness—perfect for soaking up the broth 🍠 • Not as rich as LA’s version, but satisfying for Boston standards Handmade Tofu Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟 • Silky, house-made tofu in a flavorful broth (choose spicy or mild) • Comes with an egg to crack in—textural upgrade! 🥚 Complimentary Tofu Appetizer 🌟🌟🌟🌟 • Creamy, fresh tofu with soy sauce—simple but highlights their tofu game 🚫 Skip This One Plain White Rice 🌟 $3 for a small bowl—seriously, just get rice with your stew. Total rip-off 🍚 💡 Dining Tips Cheese Pull Hack： Act fast after torching! Cheese sets quickly—stretch it over ribs for insta-worthy shots 📸 Portion Reality： Stews serve 2–3 people (get the large for groups), but sides are small Ambiance： Casual, modern space—ideal for quick meals or casual hangouts 📍 Key Details Address：85 Harvard Ave, Allston (near BU Bridge) Price：$20–$25/stew, $10–$15/soup Perfect For： ✅ Craving Korean stews with a cheese twist ✅ Trying handmade tofu dishes ✅ Quick fixes when missing LA’s Korean food scene 🌟 Final Verdict: 3.5/5 for East Coast Korean Come for the torched cheese ribs and handmade tofu, but manage expectations—this is Boston, not LA. Pro tip: bring friends to share and skip the overpriced rice! 🥢 #BostonKoreanFood #TofuStoryBoston #GalbiJjimFix #AllstonEats #BostonFoodie
