    Get the seafood and beef soft tofu soup for maximum umami thanks to mussels, manilla clams, head-on shrimp, and scrappy bits of tender beef.

    We recommend starting with Kaju’s signature soft tofu soup (sundubu jigae), which you can order 15 different ways. Very popular here: galbi, four tender strips of sweet barbecued beef ribs. Read more

    Just get the plain tofu soup - it's not at all plain, very tasty and filling. Definitely get them to add the egg, it's yum!

    Bibimbap (stone pot with crispy rice and veggies) is amazing, so is the tofu and egg soup.

    The kimchi tofu soup, curry tofu soup and the veggie tofu soup are so so good.

    A seafood pancake is definitely worth splitting with a group.

    They are so stingy with their banchan. They literally gave us 3 pieces of everything and there are 3 people eating. Coincidence? I think not.

    The name is a little misleading they have very few tofu selections.. and I ordered the kimchi soup... which I didn't know came with beef. this place isn't as vegan/vegetarian friendly as it may seem

    Dont come here after 9pm cause the service is horrible. They were rushing us to pay the bill so that they can close although we just got our food.
