(10/12/2023) 4.4-4.6 ⭐ The best customer service for Korean Tofu Restaurant by far. Prices are cheaper for lunch compared to others. Not a lot of combinations menu choices compared to others but Tofu Soup has the same as other. A slight improvement on Tofu Soup needed to be hotter when served. And they fix the problem right away. Tofu is good but the chili powder is not my top favorite though. Just standard in my opinion but recommend if you want a better price for Korean Tofu soup. Probably would come back here if I want something cheaper for lunch or nearby the area.

Came here for lunch on a Friday with my mom and sister, and there were plenty of tables. The lunch combo is a great deal as you get both a meat and your choice of tofu soup. We got a lunch order of kalbi as well. Unfortunately they made a mistake and brought us two Kalbis instead of one kalbi and one bulgogi, so we had to order a third plate of bulgogi in order to get our fill. Our waitress was a kindly older woman who felt terribly about the mistake and was super apologetic. Things happen, so it was all good. Credit cards accepted. They have takeout available as well.

We found this place as we were waiting for the light wondering where to have Korean food for lunch. We were greeted and seated by the window with a good view of the traditional decoration. We ordered BBQ Beef with Clam Tofu Combo, Mushroom Tofu, and Kimchi Tofu. The server was very nice to help our 11-year-old to crack the egg in the soup and reminded him to be careful with the hot plate and stone bowl. We were very satisfied with our food and looking forward to bringing family and friends next time.

My favorite restaurant in the entire San Gabriel valley. Their tofu soup is the best I have ever had ( I get the combination seafood and beef ) and their bonchon is tops. K BBQ is good but the highlight here is that tofu soup. My boyfriend is vegan due to allergies and he can get the mushroom or veggie tofu stew here which is great because it can be hard to find vegan options at mom and pop shops.

Had a wonderful time eating here. It was quiet at the time we went in and service was fast. I got the hot stone bibimbap and the side dishes were delicious. Will come back soon!

Great tofu soup spot. Banchan is on point and meats are always killer. I keep reminding myself that this place is better than places in Rowland heights and surrounding areas and to stop trying them. After my last visit its my official go to. Seems like its family owned too the son in front and parents in the back?

Chef changed. Doesnt taste as good as before.Been coming here for a decade. Last year the food was still great. Came here yesterday and a lot of stuff changed for the worst. Chicken teriyaki is no longer chicken thigh meat. Swapped to breast meat and dry. The tofu soup doesnt taste the same, more spicy and less flavorful than before. They used to give you pancake if you order entree, not anymore. Dinner combo is $26-30.

Came for dinner on a weekend. Ordered the Galbi and Tofu Soup combination along with the Bulgogi and Tofu Soup combination. The servers were very friendly. There were 9 banchan dishes provided with our meal. The side dishes were on the smaller side but they do provide refills. We were very disappointed in the Tofu Soup as they lacked flavor and not enough spice even when I asked for medium spicy. No egg was provided for the Tofu Soup either. The Galbi and Bulgogi were both fine, no complaints there. This is a smaller restaurant so come early if you want a table without waiting. For the same price, I would recommend BCD Tofu Soup instead of this place due to the lackluster Tofu Soup.

Greattt dining experience! We love their Tofu soups and bbq beef short ribs (kalbi)! The owners and staff were very friendly. Very accommodating with their tireless and excellent service even when they are very busy with lots of customers. That’s why we keep coming back!

This is my favorite Korean place. I drive 20 miles for this place. Because I know Ill be very satisfied with my meal. I order the lunch special. A combination soup with ribs (tasty ribs and a small spicy soup) and all the side you can eat. The side are homemade in house. The owner who very nice and attentive to costumers. Come by very often to see if you would like anything. I enjoy coming here. Im always satisfied when I leave.

I come here often and each time Im totally impressed with the food quality, taste and absolutely impeccable service. They continue to replace the little appetizer dishes (banchan I think its called). Ive always loved Korean short ribs but I think their spicy BBQ pork is my new favorite dish. You HAVE to try this place whether its for tofu soup or Korean BBQ meats.

Been meaning to write this review since I live nearby and it bugs me to no end. Ordered one meal to share since one of us wasnt hungry. I asked for a little bit more banchan and the server/son gave us lip about freeloading since we only ordered one entrée. Seriously being picky about giving out banchan? First of all as a Korean, thats offensive. Second of all, if he wanted me to pay for more banchan, just say it to us directly or tell us to order another entrée. Dont tell us off like were some homeless bums. Worst part about this? Food was sub-par.Havent stepped back in this establishment for years. They will never get another cent from me.

Great service. And when I say great service, I mean top of the line, guy owes you drug money type of service, minus the absolute desperation to please. I finished my fish cakes and placed it to the side. Within 1 minute a new plate is brought over. I finished that cucumber thing, new plate comes by outta nowhere. It wasnt even put to the side and was in the mix with our other food. Im assuming they are constantly watching us, but with the upmost subtlety that is impossible to detect. The workers are nice. Korean(?) guy and Hispanic lady. Very pleasant. I tipped them my paycheck. Worth every penny.Now lets get to the food. Id like to consider myself a tofu soup connoisseur of some sort, but my friends disagree. Either way. I like it. So come and get yourself some tofu soup. Seafood tofu soup. Delicious. Drop the egg in there. Crush it. Mix it with the soup. Absolute perfection.Tl dr; I like this place. You will too.

Our favorite for tofu soup! The dumpling tofu soup is my favorite along with all the banchan (side dishes). Jeffrey and his staff are the best.

The food is delicious. First of all, please be kind and take care of everything and prepare the necessary side dishes. Above all, we dont take food money away from guests until they leave. It is rare to find a store that is so considerate and courteous to its customers.
