"So Gong Dong Tofu House is where Stanford students can escape the dining hall for great tofu soup. While the wait (and road rage in the tiny parking lot) at this Korean spot off of El Camino might test your patience, the gochugaru-filled tofu stew is worth it. There are 16 different varieties, but the dumpling version is the best thanks to the contrast between the chewy dumpling wrappers and the silky smooth tofu. Each bowl is served with plenty of banchan, and they also have a few bibimbap and some KBBQ items like bulgogi. But the soup is why you’re willing to put up with the guy shouting from his Tesla. " - julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez

Wine bar · Palo Alto

Welcome to Salvaje (sal-va-hay). We are a wine bar with a focus on natural wines. To us, natural wines are made with grapes grown organically on biodynamic farms or at a minimum with sustainability in mind. They are wild fermented with native yeasts, cellared with minimal intervention, and contain little to no sulfates or other additives. Each of the wines we serve reflect most or all of these characteristics. Wines that have a sense of the places they come from -- the climate, soil, and surroundings. These farming and wine making practices along with a wide variety of grapes make each glass of natural wine a unique and memorable experience.
