Soft Tofu 소공동 — Restaurant in Fort Lee

Disappointing Experience After Years of Loyalty

This used to be my favorite Korean spot for the past 6 years, but today was my last time here. We were a party of 11, and the quality has seriously declined since the ownership and name changed. The food was far from fresh. We ordered the seafood tofu soup, and the shrimp in it was dirty, black, and clearly not fresh. We brought this to the waiter's attention. The noodle soup was no better — soggy and completely inedible, left untouched at the end. The beef was also burnt.

There was limited parking at the restaurant itself but found a public parking lot, 1/4 block away, for under $2.

I ordered the Seafood Tofu Soup with Ramen and was smittened with the Oysters that were served in the soup. For me the oysters made the dish! They were mouth-wateringly tender, delicate and flavorful ::drooling:: I will in the future order the Oyster Tofu Soup. Yummm!!! The service was prompt and the food came out fast. Complimentary tea and banchan were a nice addition. After a satisfyingly delicious meal, the wait in traffic on the bridge didn't...

Traditional, fast, tasty. The menu is limited, but being able to actually get something hot enough to make me sweat is always going to score a good rating. Enoki mushrooms in the soup? Nice!

The place is big enough for large groups and the tables are really wide - necessary to handle the traditional accoutrements if Kim Chee, spicy cucumbers, marinated soybean sprouts, etc. Soup comes with a while egg for cracking into the boiling hot pot, just like you'd expect.

Vegetarian and vegan options are woefully limited. This is basically a soft tofu soup spot, as the name indicates. ...
