A specialist ox-bone-broth house (Google 4.6) — long-simmered seolleongtang, galbitang, and soondubu (soft-tofu) stew, the exact restorative, warm meal a full fight day earns. Dairy-free is effortless: Korean soup houses are dairy-free by nature (bone broth, tofu, rice, banchan), so Deb can order anything without a single question.

The all-day PKB fight (7:15 AM–7:15 PM) owns the day — the plan doesn't compete with it. It gives you one warm, low-effort dinner to land on together the moment it wraps.
After a full fight day you're both spent, so it's one calm anchor and nothing else — soup, then home. That restraint is the plan, not a gap in it.
Soo Ja is a specialist ox-bone-broth house (Google 4.6): long-simmered seolleongtang and soft-tofu stew — the restorative, warming meal that fits a hard day.

12 minutes from home in Fremont, and you drive — Deb doesn't plan, navigate, or decide. She just gets fed and taken care of at the end of a long day.
Cuisine rotates to Korean (the last Korean date was late May) and it's a brand-new spot — nothing repeated from recent weeks. Home before 10 protects your Sunday.
Bring
A light layer or jacket for each of you — it drops to about 60°F by the time you walk back to the car after dinner.Call ahead earlier in the day to hold the 8:00 table (510-573-4329) — the kitchen closes at 9:30, so lock the seating before the fight.Nothing else to carry — it's an indoor soup dinner, start to finish.
Backup
If Soo Ja's small dining room is slammed at the dinner rush (kitchen closes 9:30), get the ox-bone soup and soft-tofu stew to go and eat it warm on the couch — the night still lands. And if the fight wraps early, Kong Sarang Tofu & BBQ in Newark is the closer fallback (5 min from home, same warm soft-tofu/soup lineup, but its kitchen closes at 9:00).
