Surawon Tofu House

There are lots of places to get spicy, bubbling cauldrons of soondubu in Koreatown, but Surawon is the best of them, especially now that Beverly Soon Tofu is no more. They make all of their tofu totally organically in-house, and for $1 more, you can upgrade to black soybean tofu which is a little nutty and super savory. Come by with someone you love on a cold night, order some soju and a couple of soondubu combos, and be sure to include a seafood kimchi pancake (here, they’re loaded with veggies and squid). Surawon is a go-to on cold LA days.
