I visited California Tofu Grill and ordered the combination lunch—chicken teriyaki and oyster tofu soup. Both dishes were freshly made and absolutely delicious! The servers were friendly and welcoming, even though it was pretty busy during Saturday lunchtime.
Plus, the free parking is a huge bonus. Highly recommend this spot!

Food was good, especially the BBQ beef ribs. I wasn’t a fan of the seafood pancake, it lacked seasoning. The waitress who primarily served us was rude which put a damper on our whole experience.

Had a great meal only to be harassed after paying about no tip on check. I left money on the table , which is normally better since all tips are taxed. Waiters and waitresses need to understand that “tips” are not mandatory and if they are living off tips they might need a different or another job. Ruined the rest of my day.

Great food! I was introduced to soon tofu here and definitely recommend. Lots of sides and their soup is surprisingly filling! Great on a cold day after grabbing some books.

Went on a weekday afternoon for dinner (gets busy during weekends). Just like BCD, but I think it’s better in terms of location (no heavy traffic) and especially food. Great deals for lunch time (opening hours until 3pm). The combo meals are very filling. Employees are welcoming and attentive to your needs. Definitely recommend this place.

One of the best spots in OC for authentic Korean food! The tofu soup is amazing, but the cold noodles and short ribs are just as impressive. I came here with family visiting from Korea, and everyone was so happy with the flavors and service. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome every time.
Definitely a go-to place when you want to treat guests or enjoy a hearty Korean meal. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The soup was good, but the server told us not to take side dishes when we asked for a box for our seafood pancake, then condescendingly and loudly explained how containers work to my parents. Not appreciated at all and we actually were talking about how the side dishes tasted strange before this interaction with her. I understand if it’s a recurring problem for your business, but no need to be preemptively rude to us about it
Soondubu, octopus & beef with Kalbi combo is bomb!! All the little dishes are delicious too. You’ll definitely enjoy your meal and stomach full. Haha🫃
I've never written a bad review in my life because I know how tough it is to run a business. But I feel like I have to share this experience.
I arrived about 5 minutes before opening. The door was already open, so I waited at the waiting area inside. And a staff member rudely told me to leave. If she had explained that I needed to wait outside, I would’ve completely understood and even apologized. But instead, she just stared at me for a while and then suddenly told me to get out because they were cleaning—just few minutes before opening time. I’ve worked in a restaurant before too, and I’ve never experienced such unprofessional customer service. On top of that, the last time I visited, the staff wrongly accused my friend of not leaving a tip (when he absolutely did). There are many Korean restaurants in Fullerton and Buena Park, but this is the first restaurant that gave me these experiences. The ladys here seriously need proper training.

Terrible place to be at this time of the hour it seems.
We're there just now 04/18 6pm.
Waiting about 15 mins and no one come to us about breeding or asking us for waiting period.
I SEE many tables available there's 4 to 5 staffs working but none of them pay attention to us, they just looking at us but no reactions what so ever.
What kind of services you guys providing here? Humanoid? Worst welcome I ever received, terrible place and terrible experience.
Really yummy, plentiful food and nice service. A family favorite!

This time i went here, the service was really bad. The waiters are very rude. We couldn't finish the food, so we ask for some boxes to go. The waitress made us an ugly face for that. Then, we waited a while for her to bring us the boxes, so we needed to ask again. At the end, when we were about to leave. The same waitress came demanding us to give a tip. She literally said: tip? Tip? Tip? No tip?
We really felt so offended, because the time we spent there, the waiters only assist korean customers. They just don't care if you are not korean, and they just ignore you. It's so sad because i like the food there. But, i don't think go back again with this experience.
