Soft Tofu 소공동

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. We asked the waiter to speak with the owner about serving food in such poor condition, and she took the dish to the owner who was in the front. The owner didn’t even say a word or even offer an apology. As a business owner, you’d expect some level of accountability or at least acknowledgment, but there was none. If you’re looking for unfresh, dirty, soggy, and burnt food served with poor customer service from an owner who doesn’t care, this is the place to go. I will never come back here again.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and everything is always delicious! Ultimate comfort meal in a homey place.

Our only complaint is the seafood pancake that has so little seafood. The rest we ordered (bbq beef, tofu soup, chicken soup) were all very good!

I was en route home back to Boston from the Princeton University area in New Jersey and had a craving for Korean food. Chose this location as it was less than a 5 minute detour from my journey. It was in reality really really convenient being so close to NYC and got off before I had to sit in the dreaded George Washington Bridge traffic. 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 seem so bad. :)

Just as good - if not better! as I remembered, family used to frequent this place. Sides are fresh and plentiful, seafood tofu stew rich and full of ingredients, LA galbi well seasoned and grilled, seafood pancake crispy. Prices have risen quite a bit though, which is a bummer. Will stop by as an occasional treat!

It’s one of the places that’s been around a long time and food has been consistent in my opinion. It’s nice they’re open late till 10pm but kitchen closes 9:30 so make sure to arrive before that and place order otherwise no food for you. I personally like the kalguksu (hand cut noodles) but traditionalists will want the tofu in the boiling clay pot and have rice. Haven’t had anything bad here.

Excellent place. Soft tofu soup affordable and tasty. Poached ginger young chicken very homey and comforting but not for everyone. Reminds me of my youth but perhaps a bit on the plain side for American tastes. Sides are modest but the place is more low keyed. Sure better places but you pay for that.....at least out of the ones I've tried in fort Lee, there are many.

Been here 15 years ago. Came back here this afternoon. As good as ever.
