LA Sokongdong Soontofu is the name of a Korean restaurant, with an emphasis on tofu dishes, located near the Marina Grocery store. My friends and I normally go to Koi Sushi Boat when we want to eat somewhere close by after school, but winds of change were blowing, and we decided to try Korean cuisine instead. None of us had ever heard anyone at school mention the name of this particular restaurant, so we all entered the place with open minds.
LA Sokongdong Soontofu's is at 1749 Decoto Road. The phone number is (510) 489-7288. Iona Childers/Courier Photo
