NY1 reviews Natural Tofu Restaurant

Soondooboo, boiling mini-cauldrons of spicy, silky soft tofu stew, is the specialty at Natural Tofu Restaurant — a busy, inexpensive, Korean spot in Sunnyside, Queens, complete with kitschy, village-like interiors.
Six varieties of tofu stews are available here from vegetarian, to kimchi, to intestine. I recommend their seafood soft tofu with boiled shrimp, clams, mussels and green onions. You can enjoy the customary side dishes while you wait for your soondooboo to cook.
Into a thick clay pot, the chef adds a spoonful of traditional Korean red pepper paste, a pungent mix of oil, chili powder and chili paste. This is how your heat level is determined. A half spoonful means mild. A whole spoonful means spicy, which is how I order it.

NOTE: Natural Tofu Restaurant is located at 40-06 Queens Boulevard, between 40th and 41st Street.
Well deserved! was just there on Mother’s Day with a few moms and had a scrumptious feast for under $20. It’s my new go to place.
I wonder if they serve any of the stews without red chile pepper paste, or perhaps just a teeny tiny bit.
They do. You can order without any spice
Wonderful place. Delicious food that even my tofuphobic husband enjoys.
