Tofu Cabin Korean Cuisine exterior

Myung Dong Tofu Cabin is a Korean restaurant with two locations, San Mateo near Highway 101, and Santa Clara. We went to the San Mateo location which is in a strip mall next to a Marina supermarket.
They have a diverse menu with a weekend option of grilling your own items. It requires 2 or more pricey orders to qualify, so no one was doing it when we were there.

Picks:

Tofu Cabin Korean Cuisine Beef Tofu Stew

Beef Tofu Stew or So Go Gi Soon Doo Boo ($8.99) was very good. It came boiling hot out of the kitchen with a cracked egg on top, good broth, and soft tofu. Spicyness level is optional.

Tofu Cabin Korean Cuisine Broiled Ribs

Gal Bee

Side Dishes

Gal Bee or Broiled Ribs ($16.99) had lots of tender flavorful pieces of meat still on the bone. It was sizzling hot and included lots of small side dishes including a multigrain purple colored rice.

Tofu Cabin Korean Cuisine Bi Bim Bab

Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab ($11.99) was Beef or pork, Vegetables & egg over rice served in hot stone pot. Included bean sprouts, carrots, zucchini, and daikon. The rice that stuck to the pot turned nice and crispy.

OK:
None

Pans:
None

Myung Dong Tofu Cabin had very average service. We had to chase people down to get refilled or to get items. The food is good and the prices reasonable, making this a good choice for those looking for Korean restaurants, although prices are a little high.
