Young Dong Tofu — Restaurant in Arcadia

I wasn't even gonna post anything until the waitress came running outside after us when we left because we didn't leave a tip. This is the saddest tofu soup I've ever had, my wife hardly ate. For 3 combos it was $90. I don't know how they can justify the price when everything down to the banchan was just sad and flavorless. Literally had to ask for salt.

I also love their steamed pork belly "saam." It's so good! They have decent "banchan" as well, especially their kim chi. The stone pot rice is delicious, especially pouring in the barley tea to the crusted, savory rice crackling that sticks to the bottom and sides of the stone pot. Most non-Koreans don't know this comfort food secret. Get it next time and eat it at the end of your meal with the broth that forms from it with the...
