The How to Tofu post, the recent NYT article on tofu and our recent wintry weather all directed me to wipe the road salt off the windshield of my car and drive to Annandale. Vit Goel, roughly translated as Lighthouse Tofu & BBQ on its bright blue awning, is a cozy, country-style Korean eatery. From the honey-colored tables and wooden floors, traditional faux rice paper-covered walls and a hanoak-style facade, the restaurant strives for a down-to-earth appeal. Quick and casual, you’ll be surrounded by tables crowded with Korean families and friends enjoying a no-fuss meal of soon dubu.

Vit Goel is amazing – especially on cold winter days!
Soon dubu is such an amazing experience, and this place does it the best. Sooo spicy!!
this is the best eating i’ve ever had in annandale– not to say that i’ve explored the area as much as i’d like. comparable to LA, NYC, or even seoul. great stuff, friendly and accessible to non-koreans.
I just went there last night (Cinco De Mayo) with some friends from work. Absolutely amazing Soon Dubu. That Sweet Potato Vodka’s great too. Try their 50/50 if you get a chance too. Great place I can’t wait to tell my parents about, who just love traditional Korean food.
