WOW…“Todam Soon Doo Boo” ISNOWCLOSED. Talk about a short lived operation. We never saw«Gangnam Hwae-jib» restaurant next door open for business. Then suddenly we see the«Gangnam Hwae-jib» signs replaced with grand opening signs for«Seoul Bok Dwaeji»(aka — «Seoul Happy Pig»). Apparently what they did was renovated BOTH restaurants and change them both into a BBQ restaurant. Really sad to see this Soon-Doo-Boo place close but it’ll be interesting to see how it will undoubtedly compete with nearby Gooldaegee(aka Honeypig).

I got jipped, I didn’t get my fish. Also, the soondubu wasn’t as flavorful here as it is at Lighthouse. The place is slightly cheaper than Lighthouse but the size is the same, so I think you’re sacrificing quality for quantity.

My theory on the local Annandale food scene is that restaurants are always tasty and a good bargin when they first open, and gradually decline after they brought in enough regulars. For this reason, I am always on the look out for new places. Todam piqued my interest, so I decided to check it out during lunch. The location is kind of strange, its situated all the way at the end of a hallway, like some of the restaurants in the Eden Center. They specialize in tofu casserole and they serve it exactly like Lighthouse tofu, bubbling hot tofu stew, a raw egg on the side, and cooked rice in a stone pot. They also serve alot more banchan than Lighthouse tofu, including a small whole fried fish(surprisingly tender fish) with the casserole. Everything was tasty and a bargin for under $ 10. There are two flat screen TV in the restaurant showing mostly cheesy Korean variety show about cooking. Its a clever move on the owner’s part to show Korean food porn to stimulate patron’s appetite.
