Very delicious and good quality food! The tofu is very fresh and you can smell the soy bean aroma! We also love the white rice in stone pot! We read some reviews that said the wait time was long but let me assure you that the wait is quite worth it! The server explained to us that it took a bit longer for the food to come because the white rice is cooked in stone pot. So just be a little bit patient to be served and for the food to come. The price is really reasonable and portion is big. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Good home style food. Good portions and always comes out sizzling hot. Service could be improved but its been like that for a while. The chicken is more supple than the beef.

I ordered a takeout and the shrimp in the seafood tofu soup are black. Also the oyster it taste sour. At first I’m not sure about the ingredients are not fresh but few hours later I had a stomach ache.

They’re located in a plaza with lots of restaurants. Their service is pretty fast. First time trying cold noodles at the restaurants and their broth is great! The bossam was so tender! I wanted more! I also ordered the tofu soup which was yummy! Side dishes were pretty much the same as everywhere else.

I wasnt even gonna post anything until the waitress came running outside after us when we left because we didnt leave a tip.This is the saddest tofu soup Ive ever had, my wife hardly ate. For 3 combos it was $90. I dont know how they can justify the price when everything down to the banchan was just sad and flavorless. Literally had to ask for salt. I know the auntie was a little upset at us for asking. Uncle in the back was pretty rude to everyone coming in, yelling that they close in the next 40 minutes. We only ended up there because the 3 most popular restaurants around the corner were packed. Yall want business or not? Hate to write a negative review for what seems like a family owned business and the inflation is real but this cant compete with anything in the area plus its all cheaper for better food. Were definitely not coming back.

This location used to be very good. Now the portion of the bbq ribs seems to has shrunk in size and the seaweed is not as good as before. I, now, prefer the one on Las Tunas.

Its disgusting how this place tries to scam non-asian people out of tips. The old lady demanding a $10 or $15 tip for a $40 meal? You should be ashamed of yourselves. To be so entitled of people tipping your service already and demanding them a higher amount of tip. Save your money and go to a better deserving restaurant with BETTER food. This place is absolutely mediocre. Do better

Been going here since I’ve been a kid. The owners are so lovely and kind, food has always been fantastic. Their galbi tofu lunch special is the absolute best! And still some of my favorite banchans from anywhere. Love love love.

Quick inexpensive and tasty. I always go w medium spicy because its the perfect amount of flavor. Mild is to bland and spicy is too thick w chili powder. Weekday tofu pot and grilled dish combo is a great deal.

This place is ok. The location on Las tunas is way better despite the crowd and longer wait. The food here tastes a little dull compared to the other location

Small Korean restaurant with a limited menu but good tofu soup options. The Kimchi and beef is great option. The small sides are pretty good as well. The price is reasonable for what you get, but dont go looking for ambiance or amazing service. The staff is polite and the place was clean.

We had tofu soup, spicy pork and chicken.The soups were pretty good, as good as other good Korean restaurants. The spicy pork was ok, not the best. The chicken was delicious. The small side dishes were very good. The salad, kimchi and the seaweed dishes were better than others. We will go back to taste other dishes. The soup was boiling hot. The waitress should have cracked the eggs and put them in the boiling soup for us, like other Korean restaurants. Next time I will ask for that.

Food quality and cleaniness has gradually gone downhill over the years. Everything just misses the spot. Beef is tough, tofu casserole seafood ingredients are not fresh, clams chewy like rubber, shrimp jot fresh. Disappointing. Used to be a good place. Bathrooms very dated. This place needs remodeling and revamping.

My favorites are their Korean bbq kalbi, and bulgogi. Not a fan of their spicy pork. tofu soup can be spicy although medium seem like hot to me. However no heat tofu soup just isnt the same. Lunch on weekends and holidays are charged at dinner prices.

Weve been to this location for years. But tonight is not our night. we ordered 2 full price Tofu soup ($10.55 ea). And when we asked for additional kimchi, and was rudely told that our order is too few for more ban chan. Needless to say, we wont be back...

A favorite restaurant among my cousins and myself. This location did recently have a change of management, but this doesnt seem to have affected their quality or portion sizes. It should be noted that the other LA area location does not serve rice in a stone hot pot (if this isnt important to you, then ignore this). My usual dish is the beef tofu soup, extra spicy.

Consistently good food. My green bean pancake came after we finished the meal though. Other than that this place has been a go-to spot for at least 10 years!

The Korean restaurant I used to eat more than 20 years ago, where I ordered barbecue and served seafood pancakes in a tofu pot, has been changed to another owner. Although the operators are all Koreans, the dishes have changed. I ate my favorite grilled beef short ribs and The spicy seafood tofu pot, the roasted beef short ribs are more tender, the pork is pretty good, and the assorted tofu pot has seafood and meat slices! Lots of ingredients and delicious! The side dishes are okay, but they don’t sell seafood pancakes or cantaloupe-flavored chewing gum. I miss them so much!

Sundubu was exquisite. The tonkatsu was also very similar to the Japanese one and was easy to eat. The rice cooked in a stone oven was delicious. The parking lot is large and easy to park.

The service attitude of the waiter who answered the phone needs training. He hung up the phone before the customer finished speaking. It was rude and impolite. If possible, I wouldnt give it a star. I refuse to recommend this restaurant due to bad reviews!
