Near Bloor and Christie, next to the last X-Rated movie theatre in Toronto, sits Tofu Village. It has garnered some praises in comparison to its rival a few doors down. Wednesday night, I checked out the competition. First up was 3 Korean seafood pancakes ($7.95). They were hot and greasy. The best parts were crispy and studded with shrimp, squid, and onions. The not-so-good areas had too thick batter, resulting in soft gooey centres.

For the main I ordered the bulgogi + soon tofu combination ($13.95). The sizzling beef platter was average, no better or worse than the other restaurants in Koreatown. The soon tofu had fresh tofu and the spiciness has been dialed back, but it was lacking in seafood: only 1 shrimp and 2 clams. The stand-out was the kimchi side dishes: a coarse tofu plate that was silky and fresh, and marinated potato chunks that dissolved into starchy tastiness.
