Korean style Sun-Tofu stew restaurant.
I ordered $29 Galbi combo.
Don’t expect too much. It is La Crescenta local restaurant.
So it is one of choice to eat locally not going to K-town.

one of those places that demand a tip (‘tipflation’; read the papers) after the kid mumbled something in korean and turned his back and wouldn’t say what it is, and for really poor service of just one customer. just one. don’t deny the customer was nice to you. you’re rude like hell while taking people’s money.don’t come here if your skin is black or brown—might work if you’re in a group.to the family who owns this restaurant, don’t hide your prejudices in plain sight. you’re in la crescenta, formerly KKK hotbed, because we’re color blind now. be kind. be fair. get rid of your prejudices.

awesome Korean food and far better parking than K-Town . Don't expect any great views and their short staffed like every other business in the world, but, the food was very good. The young man who was working was very honest and kind about a 20 minute wait for food .The seafood pancake was fantastic and the tofu soup with pork was awesome! I'll be back!

This place is such a hidden gem. The tofu soup is one of the best I’ve ever had, bibimbap portions are massive, and the banchan selection is great. Definitely recommend to anyone that’s searching for authentic Korean flavors!

The food is like fast food for Korean food but with prices that are not fast food. Expensive for fair food.

Really good food. I recommend it.

Small korean restaurant but tasty ?. More then expected. Little take time for serving might be long weekend.

We had 2 very poor experiences here. Food wasnt too bad, but the service was awful. Definitely will try the other tofu shop down the street next time.

Been coming here since day 1 of their opening. Came here last week with my wife to eat in. Really was a downer, we waited for 25 minutes before we got a menu or drink. Place was busy but cmon, hire more people, dont be so effing cheap! 1 person answering phones, waiting tables, packing togo, and clearing tables all by himself. Sad tgat you have all this business but dont care about quality of service to customers. I have seriously eaten here 2 times a week for thee last 4-5 years. My kid loves this place and always wants the bulgogi. I wont be back until staff increases. I have spent over 2k over the years eating here.

Very tasty and they made a vegetarian meal (no fish sauce) especially for me. Healthy and good, I got the tofu bibimbap. It came with a lot of food. They have great customer service. Ambiance needs a bit of help, if they fixed up the place a bit I really think they could be selling out all the time. Will be back again.

My family hadn't been here in a few years, but we were pleasantly surprised to see that the quality of the food was still great. We got a Spicy Pork Hot Stone Combo, Chicken Hot Stone Combo, Beef tofu, & Seafood tofu.Ambiance (8/10):I'm not sure if they're short on staff, but it definitely feels like a mom & pop operation. There were only two young waiters and one cook during my visit (mom and sons?). That's probably why the food can took a bit longer to come out versus other tofu restaurants.Hot Stone Combos (10/10):The hot stone combo could probably feed two people. It's probably the best bang-for-buck item you can get here since it also comes with a small tofu of your choice. The stone pot is insanely hot so start mixing as soon as you get it, otherwise your rice might burn.Tofu (10/10):The flavor of both the Beef and Seafood was the classic tofu stew taste. It costs and extra $2 for a stone pot rice but we decided to pass on that.Banchan (9/10):While most Tofu Restaurants give you a small fried fish with your banchan, Myung Dong gives you a Korean pancake. They used to give the traditional vegetable pancake (pajeon), but I guess they switched to a potato pancake (gamja jeon). It came out super hot and fresh and all the other banchans were great as well.Service (9/10):I'm guessing this is a COVID protocol, but if you have a party of 6 or more, you need to make a reservation. Like I said earlier, I'm guessing the restaurant is run by a mom and her two young sons so service can feel a bit disorganized and slow. We came in an hour before they were closing, but it was funny to see the waiters silently complaining about the number of customers still coming in. My advice would be to be patient with the waiters. There's only two waiters and one cook and there's a constant flow of to-go orders so if you're in a rush, it would be better to go to a different tofu restaurant.
