Best Tofu House — Restaurant in Lynnwood

Cashier/server was so rude. I ordered 2 hot tofu soup. She told me I have to carry both trays to my table which was no problem except the tray with both soup contained two soup pots that were boiling hot, literally bubbling on top. I asked her if I can use the rolling table (I saw her serve others who were seated with it) because I did not want to drop the pots (these were NOT stone pots as I initially suspected), she grabbed the tray and took it to my table and slammed the tray on my table spilling the soup. I don't understand where her rage came from. Probably because I didn't leave a tip? I am going to watch my credit card slip and will dispute any charge able what I signed. Nevertheless, will never eat there even if it's the last (and worst) tofu house...

I got perilla seed tofu $13.99 and with tax, it was $15.47.

When cashier asked me how spicy I want my tofu to be, I was very very shocked. I have NEVER seen or heard spicy perilla seed tofu in my 30+ years of living in Korea. For other seafood or meat soon tofu, yes it makes sense to make it spicy but you never ever make perilla seed tofu soup spicy. It’s not korean food then.

Anyway, when I got the food, I understood why. It had NO taste or smell of perilla seed at all. It was just fully mushroom tofu soup. Yes you make mushroom tofu soup spicy in Korea too.

They should change the name to mushroom tofu soup from perilla seed. When I thought of it as mushroom soup, the taste was okay. Not that salty.

+1 for pretty side dishes, +1 for not...

Don’t go! Unfortunately they are not the best, yet they should rebrand themselves as a worst tofu house because this was one of the worst tofu soup I can remember to rate.. combo costs $21 and they reduce the size of the tofu soup if I go with the combo. Literally what the heck? Combo should give you more, not less? Yet this place claims to run a business as a tofu place.

Also the soup tasted something in between kimchi jjigae and boodae jjigae. Just because you can see some tofu and red color based soup, does not mean it’s a tofu soup. Shame on you.

They also do...
