Revisiting 5A5 Steak Lounge in San Francisco
Updated Review as of June 24, 2014. This time, I have photos of the food at 5A5. Original review is below this updated section.
Recently, I had to pick a location for a dinner for 10 people on a Monday. All of us were getting together for happy hour first — and I’d already ...Authentic Korean Tofu Soup (순두부찌개): Sogondong Tofu House
I still remember the first time I ever tried “soon tofu” — which is how Koreans refer to this tofu “casserole” of sorts. I had just moved to Los Angeles, and a friend of mine was taking me to lunch.
