Description

Tofu Village is not a place for vegetarians. The fiery Korean "soon tofu," or soft tofu soup that is a specialty here uses bland fresh tofu as a counterpoint to hot and spicy meats and seafoods in a chile-based broth. The free side dishes that come with every meal are quite impressive.

    As the name promises, Tofu Village has all kinds of tofu (most of which are not vegetarian) and a village of two-dimensional Korean glitterati whose eyes follow your every move. It also has all kinds of pancakes, and they are quite delicious. What sets Tofu Village apart is that its pancakes — whether zucchini, seafood, oyster or kimchi/shiitake/beef — come out sizzling hot on cast iron platters, which makes them crispy and less doughy than at other places. On our last visit, we got the gringo treatment and received uninspired iceberg lettuce salads instead of the delicious banchan (side dishes) that usually accompany the meals; so you might have to request the colorful native lagniappe if you're offended by iceberg.

    Then check out Tofu Village! It's a lot more than the name implies and the food is excellent. It's like an explosion of flavor. The seafood pancake is great, as is the kimchi, the clam soup and pretty much everything else on the menu. The wait staff is very friendly and attentive. Upon entering, you may be put off by the rather plain, no frills inside of the restaurant, but don't be fooled, this place is anything but. I think it means there's just that much more attention put into the food where it really matters! Don't pass up the BBQ either...

  • 2009 | Best Korean Restaurant

    You wouldn't think of going to a restaurant called Tofu Village for the barbecue -- but in fact Korean barbecue is a specialty here. The Korean approach to tofu is nothing short of astonishing. Like the soft and comforting potatoes in the middle of a bowl of fiery curry, or the neutral tortilla that holds the picante taco meat, the soon tofu (fresh tofu) at Tofu Village is a deliciously bland counterpoint to a host of enticing hot and spicy flavors. The fact that there are so few tofu... More »

    "Soon tofu" is Korean for "tofu soup." If you are picturing the miso dishwater they give you at the sushi bar, you are way off. The soon tofu I tried at Tofu Village on Bellaire at the Beltway was a bubbling bowl of fiery funk. The soon tofu's... More »
