Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu
[?]
416-537-0972
Soon tofu is a soft Korean specialty served in boiling soups. It has the slippery consistency of a dessert custard, only hot, and comes with a whole raw egg that you crack into it at the table. Buk Chang Dong offers a tiny menu of just six varieties, including seafood, beef, pork, kimchee and vegetarian. Water comes in plastic jugs, and don’t expect a glass for your soda or beer. For cutlery, each table has a metal box of spoons and chopsticks bolted to it, so help yourself. The patrons—mainly Korean—jovially accept this raw and raucous atmosphere, likely because it means their soon tofu arrives that much sooner. The best bets include spicy seafood soup with mussels, shrimp, oysters and tofu chunks. The bi bim bap, meanwhile, warrants a return trip. It comes laden with carrots, shiitake mushrooms, spinach, zucchini, bean sprouts, glass noodles and ground beef, all topped by a fried egg. The bed of rice beneath caramelizes perfectly on the bottom from the scalding-hot serving pot.
