Күн бұрынIn this video, I'm headed to Mr. Tofu, a Korean restaurant in the heart of Chinatown Las Vegas. I've never been here before but I received a recommendation from the comments of a previous video so I'm looking forward to trying out as much as I can because

i used to love going here after hours but they close around 10pm now so not so much anymore due to limited parking. went recently and food was still really good and they still give you tons of bon chon. prices seem to have gone up also. still worth going if you don't mind searching for parking or ubering over.

That's in the same strip mall that has Ichiza Izakaya Original. You should review that one. I went there last year during Memorial Day weekend for a big pro-wrestling weekend that had several Japanese pro-wrestlers in town. When I showed up three of the Japanese wrestlers that were in town were having dinner there. Which leads me to believe that they're probably highly recommended within those circles.

Hey Shin . Nice review! Never really had authentic Korean just Korean bbq joints which is I guess pretty run of the mill americanized some what like Chinese and such . Very interesting dishes . The looked wonderful. I would pass on the cold plate's, just not a fan in any culture . Might give it a try though kinda a little pricey . Do many locals frequent the place. For off the strip seems kinda pricey . Nice quality of the dishes I must say . See ya next vid ! ❤

I have only tried Korean-style food twice. I honestly can not remember what I had, but I do remember it being somewhat bitter. I can not stand bitter. So is what I got typical of Korean food, or was mine just bitter? I know; how the hell would you know, haha. But I guess what I am wondering is whether Korean food is naturally on the bitter side. What you had looked good.
