So I’ve had quite a few soondooboos now (even that famous chain in LA), but none of them can get it as spicy as Jong Ka Jib’s extra spicy soup! I usually order the beef soup, but I learned recently that soondooboo is usually with seafood (esp shrimp), not beef. Oh wells. Usually when I go, everyone gets their own soft tofu soup bowl (to their own level of spiciness) and then a plate of kalbi for the table!

my extra spicy soft tofu soup! I think the heat (hotness) makes it worst, so I'm usually sweating because the soup is so hot, not cuz it's spicy!

plate of kalbi for the table

I think it usually comes out to $10 to $11 per person including tax and tip!
