Joodooboo

House-made tofu paired with seasonal banchan is the winningly simple formula behind this humble shop, which has established itself as a beloved neighborhood staple. Excellent produce from an array of local farms is transformed into an appealing variety of pickles and kimchi, while their pillowy soft tofu is laboriously crafted from bean to curd, then served either fresh or lightly fried, with a tangy, savory sauce. Satisfying bowls featuring chilled acorn noodles or rice, plus rotating soup and salad, round out the diminutive vegetable-focused menu. The offerings may be limited, but change frequently according to the season, and skillful preparation, an eye for detail and reasonable pricing make every option enticing.
