Soon Tofu Simply Stink-pendous
Our friends, Lan and Deanna took us to a fabulous Korean barbecue restaurant in Arcadia last night. It was one of those places that you don't know about until you hit upon it, or someone in the know let's you in, hidden in a mini mall next to a Blockbuster. I've had Korean, and I love it, but this was AMAZING. We had mushroom soon tofu which is served boiling hot at the table. There were hundreds of mushrooms in the boiling clay bowl. We broke our little brown eggs and watched them bubble, dipped into the goodies that were served with everything. The place is non-descipt, wood picnic tables, linoleum floors, family friendly (except for the boiling clay pots, watch yourself...) and really, really good. I have found that the better the Korean food, the worse the lingering smell on your hands, clothes and hair. It's not as great the next day, but hey, wear wash and wear and find these places.

After we went to the restaurant, I aired out my clothes by hanging them in the dining area. The following evening, Lan and I went to an Indian restaurant, and I had to repeat the same process. Food smells permeated my house until I did laundry the following day.
There are an entire chain of them in Korean town. One of the more famous ones, to me, is this one chain that starts with "B" something. They have a green and Orange colored logo. I like this chain because many of their stores are open 24 hrs. There's one on Wilshire a few blocks west of Vermont. There's a bunch of the older ones of Vermont also, like NW corner Vermont and Olympic has an really old Soon tofu shop.
