Tofu Village

Yelp Review

Serving quality, MSG-free Korean fare in a sophisticated setting, Tofu Village-Downtown Los Angeles served as the set location for our video depicting the story of Shin Dong-Hyuk, who was born and raised in a North Korean prison camp. Shin's most enjoyable moment was eating their signature dish, barbecued short-ribs - significant as Shin's desire to taste meat after a prisoner described the experience pushed him to escape.
