I'm going to start posting Tristan's reviews of restaurants and movies whenever he sends them out, just for record's sake.



Actually I just went to the tofu place on Sawtelle since a bunch of my coworkers ended up going. I wouldn't recommend going yet tonight as they're still a mess there in terms of running the restaurant since it's their 2nd day. There grand opening is in two week and there's still a lot of kinks right now. The first thing was it took a long time for us to order as the service right now seems to be all over the place. I had to constantly remind the waitress about my diet coke. The food took a real long time too. Lunch ended up being close to 2 hours. The waitresses were friendly but seemed inexperienced. Like all restaurant openings though, I guess you have to wait a few weeks until they get the system down right. Other things...food wise, bcd is much better. The tofu was decent but not as good as bcd. The panchan they gave you was very average with the kimchi the weakest element so far. I had the combo and got the bibimbap which was okay but they forgot to give me the chile paste/hot sauce at first to mix it with. Didn't get to try the bulgolgi yet though. It just looked okay, nothing special. Would I go back? Yes, multiple times probably since it's the only place on the westside for that kind of food and it's decent tasting, though nothing spectacular. If it was in Ktown or RH though, I probably wouldn't. I'll still go though since you can't really judge a restaurant by its first day. Hopefully, a few weeks from now, they'll be faster with service. Overall grade - C
