Seoul Garden

There is a lot of Korean restaurants on 34th Street between Broadway and 5th Ave (a.k.a. Korean Town). Last Saturday, it was very cold. So decided it would be nice to have hot tofu soup – and “hot”, both in terms of spicy hot and hot hot. I called my friends and had a group of us try out Seoul Garden. The restaurant is big – take us a huge space on a 2nd floor of a building. No problem getting seated. The place is well known for its natural tofu soup. But the menu is also filled with other Korean food.

We ordered pajun and jap chae for the table. They brought different side dishes, like kimichi, pickles, and potato salad. Each of us ordered tofu soup as the main dish. I also ordered the set menu where in addition to the tofu soup came Korean BBQ (or kalbi). Tofu soup came in different levels of spiciness – very mild, mild, spicy, and very spicy. I tried the very spicy. It was hot, but bearable. It was actually great way to warm up the body in cold New York winter nights.
