This place is amazing, I would highly recommend to anyone experienced or new to tofu soup. The prices are also very reasonable and the food is incredible
Servers are pretty rude, price is too high for quality. When I dined here, a lady was playing a video on full speaker volume and none of the staff said anything. Seemed like they knew each other as they were speaking the same language and were chatting a few times, so of course the workers didn’t tell them to turn off the video. Made the whole restaurant seem like a food court with all the noise.
This was the absolute worst tofu soup I've ever tasted. The kalbi also seemed poorly cooked, as if the pan wasn't hot enough. It's easy to see why the restaurant was so empty on a Saturday night.

The portions are tiny, prices are high, and food was just so so. Not going back.
We ordered short ribs with tofu soup combo, chap chae, and eel rice pot. There were 6 very small ribs, and the chap chae size was laughable. Almost like the size of a banchan. And we were charged $90 for the food, which is ridiculous. The eel over rice tasted like an $8 frozen eel put over rice (and it probably was).

The taste of the food here has really fallen! Visited here last weekend and ordered a few staple dishes that we always get but was sadly disappointed.
Assorted tofu soup (mild) combo w/ beef bulgogi ($26) - this was the most disappointing tofu soup. It was super bland, there was no flavor, not even a tiny bit spicy for mild. Bulgogi was very saucy and overly sweet.
Spicy Cold noodle ($16) - was very mushy, no chewy texture. It did have a good spicy flavor.
Small Steamed pork ($18) - was the only dish that was decent.
The service was good. They even brought out crayons for the kids which was nice. The restaurant was clean, but pretty empty while we were here during prime dinner time.

Service is so bad. Came here a few times and the service is bad but this time it was the worst ever. Slamming plates down in front of my face, not wanting to give more side dishes, server said she can pour the bean sprout side dish just out from the bowl onto my rice (dirty), owners and servers glare at you, servers just speaking to you in Chinese no matter what you speak to them, and one of the servers friends frequently dine in and watch videos at 100% volume from their phones as if this place is a food court. Squid side dish didn’t have squid in it either. Very sad and noisy meal with rude workers.

This is my family's go-to Korean soft tofu stew joint. The quality is always spot on. I've never been disappointed with their food. I love their oyster soft tofu stew, spicy. I also love their steamed pork belly "saam." It's so good! They have decent "banchan" as well, especially their kim chi. The stone pot rice is delicious, especially pouring in the barley tea to the crusted, savory rice crackling that sticks to the bottom and sides of the stone pot. Most non-Koreans don't know this comfort food secret. Get it next time and eat it at the end of your meal with the broth that forms from it with the leftover banhan. ?

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

I ordered bulgogi bibimbap and it came out with one slice of beef. It is very overpriced.

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.
