Lee which specializes in soondobu and they always serve it with a raw egg which you crack yourself and add to the stew. This makes it way more dense and flavorful in my opinion, but I do not know of any other places that do this. Does anyone else know?

I don't think I've ever had it without, and if it didn't come, it arrives as soon as I request it. I prefer the soondobu from Seoul Garden on 32nd St over the one at the Sunnyside Natural Tofu branch (they're part of the same chain). Cho Dan Gul on 35th St does a good version as well.

This restaurant imported a tofu maker from Korea, and makes all of the Soondubu tofu fresh every day. It makes more of a difference than I thought it would (it's really good!), and I believe you do get the egg there, too. If you are going north on Broad Avenue from Rte 46, it is on the right side of the street, near the police station. Sat Feb 11 07:16:09 -0800 2006 1226656 0 Akorn
