Tofu House 88
This place was a regular haunt during my undergrad days for late night dining. Not because it’s got amazing food (it’s good), but because it’s open 24 hours a day. In fact, it’s better known as the Korean Waffle House. The galbi here is pretty good, and so is the bibimbap. The tofu soups are a little on the thin side (watery) but good and hearty, nonetheless. The bulgogi tastes soapy most times so do steer away from that. There is, however, one thing on the menu that I go for again and again, and can’t be found anywhere else in the city…
Kimchi Fried Rice. This is my absolute, most favorite dish here. It’s made with tasty cubes of pork stir-fried in kimchi then served atop white, steaming rice in a hot stone bowl. Mix them up good and this is a slice of heaven. It is very spicy, very tasty, and very filling. I had a craving the other day so I went in for a late lunch. Nothing has changed. And that’s good.
Incidentally, I finished everything laid out in front of me. Every last bit. Of course, I needed a big nap afterwards.
