Loved everything we got! The original beef tofu soup and beef bulgogi. So glad bcd was so busy that we go to try this place. Got the combo to share between two people and thought that was enough. Highly recommend!

Excellent sundubu including the rarely seen black soy bean tofu. The tofu and banchan all have a good homey taste. The seafood pancake is also a highlight of the menu. Come early as this small restaurant gets busy around meal time.

I got the tofu (black bean) and galbi combo. The galbi is thicker than BCD’s but it wasn’t tender. The galbi tastes good, but it also requires a lot of chewing. I honestly prefer BCD for both the tofu soup and galbi. The black bean tofu is interesting. I like the fact that they give multigrain rice. The service is really good and the waitresses are friendly. The environment is super nice because it’s spacious and I don’t feel rushed to eat.

An LA staple. the soondubu and bibimbap are both top tier. Definitely gets busy around peak hours and parking is especially difficult at that time so Id recommend coming early or being prepared to wait.

Loved all the dishes; I don’t think you can go wrong with any. One standout, the raw crab, is especially amazing. It has a very jelly texture and it tasted so good with its soy sauce. The beef short ribs were good but not as tender as I would like. The glass noodles were quite delicious and bouncy.All the tofu soups we got were delicious. We got Assorted, Beef intestine, mushroom. It was worth it to pay for the soy bean black tofu. The assorted had a good variety. Beef intestine was good but could be an acquired taste for others. The mushroom was good.The service could be better but there was also only 1 waitress serving the entire restaurant so we were understanding.

Incredibly delicious and authentic culinary experience. Every dish surpassed expectation. Not being too well-versed in Korean food, I admittedly felt a bit overwhelmed when first seated as the tables around me were filled with a variety of beautiful dishes and the menu was extensive. The thoughtful, friendly server woman noticed I was a little lost with the menu, so she took time to learn about my preferences and then walked me through the menu, finding me several dishes that fit my tastes. Every dish was truly outstanding! The Korean pancake and the short ribs stole the show, but it’s the kimchi I’ve been dreaming about. Best kimchi I’ve ever had! Despite the food being out of control delicious, the most memorable part of the experience was the above-and-beyond customer service. I was on a business trip to LA while eating here and forgot to take my receipt to get some of the price of the meal reimbursed by my employer so I called the restaurant the next day. To my surprise, the owner of the restaurant graciously spent time searching for my order in the computer and eventually emailed me a copy of my receipt. This level of customer service is so rare now a days. I can’t express my gratitude for the amazing flavors and customer service. I will be going to Surawon Tofu House every time I go back to LA. It really doesn’t get any better than this place!

Great for any group with vegetarians and non-veggies. We ordered the vegetarian black soy tofu mushroom soup with vegetarian pancake. My husband ordered the stone pot bibimbap. Everything was delicious and hearty. The soup particularly was very tasty and perfect Korean comfort food. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

They serve a choice of results tofu or black bean tofu and have water base as an option for the broth. I would not say anything is vegan here but maybe- asking and making sure would be the best bet. Great tasting soups - soon. Parking lot is not that great at all but it’s LA nothing new with that.

I’m vegan and the stone pot bibimbap was delicious. It was large and great for the price. I ordered without meat and egg and it had plenty of veggies in it. It was filling!

Surawon Tofu House is a delicious established place. Their tofu soup options are plenty. Their hot stone plate bibimbap is delicious. I can’t wait to go back and try the other delicious food they have to offer.
