Boiling Point

March 20, 2012 Leave a comment

A definite to go to whenever I drop by Los Angeles or Seattle for the weekend. If you like fermented tofu/ taiwanese hotpot, be sure to give this place a shot and you will not regret! Go with number 1 if you dont cant take/ dont like excessively spicy stuff. Go with number 8 if you love spicy stuff (be warned.. not for the faint-hearted!)

Seoul House of Tofu, Los Angeles

Latest addition along Sawtelle Blvd. A dark sushi spot, Place Yuu, used to occupy this spot and apparently closed as of 24 December 2011. The place just opened recently, hiring new staff and blasting kpop music like 2NE1 when I was there. This place is rather big as compared to Tofuya thats along the same strip and have a menu thats identical if not exactly the same as Tofuya. Currently, several waitresses working here works at Volcano Tea House too.
