Map of Foster City

Foster City and surrounding area, locate the restaurant called Soon's Tofu

This Korean newcomer to Foster City is housed in a shopping center. Its industrial-minimal look is painted with concrete floors, exposed ductwork, and hanging pendant lights. Soon's Tofu is casual and caters to local families. Meals start with a collection of tasty banchan like Korean-style potato salad and marinated vegetables in sesame oil. From there, venture into a flavorful tofu stew presented in a stone bowl with spicy kimchi and scallions, topped with a deliciously runny egg. A large bowl of beef bibimbap with mounds of daikon and tangy shiitake mushrooms is crowned with a perfectly fried egg; while heaping piles of short-ribs steeped in a sweet-salty sauce and grilled until smoky and caramelized are best for big appetites.
