Beverly Soon Tofu Los Angeles

Beverly Soon Tofu is rather cozy with its rustic, petrified wood decor. The benches make it a tight squeeze to get in and out of your seat. All of that adds to the Korean comfort food vibe. They started us off with some barley tea. Then came the tofu salad, circles of tofu sitting in some light soy sauce (?), spring onions, and topped with shredded seaweed, which is quite refreshing on a hot day. The banchan consisted of cucumbers, bean sprouts, potatoes, kimchi, radish. $13 Chicken - grilled, spicy, marinated chicken breast: Strips of marinated chicken breast sat on top of some grilled onions in a sizzling plate. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken breast was not dry and the spicy flavor was very good. $17 Stone Plate Bibimbap - vegetables, meat, fried egg over rice on a sizzling stone pot: Sizzling hot vegetables and egg over rice mixed table-side. The charred flavor is very nice. $24 Soon Tofu Soup & Squid combination: They really pack each bowl full of tofu, and the soup holds nice, big chunks of pork, as opposed to the bits of minced meat you typically get. $14 BBQ Squid grilled, spicy, marinated whole squid: Very good squid. Each piece was very meaty, and quite chewy, but not too tough. It actually has a lot of the same flavors as the spicy grilled chicken. I'd say share a few dishes and the Soon Tofu combination meals are quite good. However you don't really need to considering the combination prices are not much lower than paying for each dish separately. Though I am not sure if the soon tofu is better than any other soon tofu I have tried, I will say that the dishes are very good together.
