Easy in and out but make sure you FIRST check the daily open and closed times. The bibimbap is good as you can't easy find it in the area. The sides the come worth it are great as well.

Really really busy (but you should expect it at an Asian restaurant) Location: plaza with Zion Market. We were sat down quickly. Ordered a mixed tofu soup and galbi combo as well as a hot stone bimbimbap. Ban chan was bean sprouts, mung bean jelly, fish cakes, kimchi, japchae, and dried anchovy. Tofu came with a small fried croaker, hot stone rice, and a raw egg. Tofu was absolutely delicious. It was very busy but we got served about a moderate pace. Enjoyed everything, definitely would visit again.

반찬 재탕이 아닌 쓰래기 탕. I am leaving a review right after I witnessed something I could never imagine in United States (26Aug2025 19:05). When I entered the restaurant, a bus lady was cleaning a table removing all the side dishes(반찬) in a waste tray. Then, a server lady came and scolded at the bus lady. It seems like there was a miscommunication between two. What happened next shocked me the most. The server lady brought out those dishes from the waste tray and put them back on the table again. Few minutes later, a customer and her daughter came back from restroom to finish the food. I couldnt say anything since they have already begun eating that same food before i say any. I was on my way to LAX with my friend and did not want to make big out of it. My last conscious wanted to let them know but I couldnt as they seemed to have a great time together. Even worse, the customer even packed the left-over with her... I used to go to this restaurant once a while, but treating their customers less than the food trash made me so uncomfortable. The restaurant just demostrated its lowest ethics and morality. Funny thing is that I cut myself with credit card when i was paying, which never happened in my life. Could be my karma of not speaking out... I hope the restaurant owner rewinds the cctv. I am ready to be called for duty if the owner of the restaurant rejects what has happened on 26 Aug 2025 ~19:05.

I just had dinner at this place with my family including a baby of 15 months old, and one of the waiters asked my baby to be quiet and silence while a little irritated during dinner. Please do not do that ever again. This is not a kid-friendly restaurant you actually have to leave your stroller outside due to the small place.This was our first and last dinner at this place there is not a second chance. Good bye!

There are a number of Korean tofu restaurant options in Irvine but after several visits, It's Tofu now ranks as one of our favorites. Situated in a plaza at the corner of Irvine Boulevard and Yale Avenue a few doors down from Zion Market, It's Tofu's menu offers traditional Korean favorites like soft tofu soups, kalbi, bulgogi, pork belly, dumplings, bibimbap, buckwheat noodles and so much more. They also serve combinations like LA BBQ Short Ribs + Tofu Soup which is always my go-to. The menu appears to be updated on occasion because I no longer see the steamed egg dish we ordered during one of our initial visits on their menu anymore. If you have children, I recommend the Tofu Soup for Kids (Under 7) w/Rice Balls…it offers variety and is also an incredible deal! The restaurant is popular and seating isn't too plentiful, so expect a wait or visit during non-peak hours. What time is it? “It’s Tofu” time!

Service was amazing from start to finish. I’m Korean and everything was authentically delicious. The quality of the bulgogi was delicious and tender. My daughter who doesn’t like any tendons or fat are every bite. One of the best tofu soup bases around!

My husband and I come here for lunch all the time, it's a favorite spot. You get a generous portion of entree and sides.
The service is great! We've been here 10+ times, even during peak hours we've always had a friendly, efficient, comfortable experience.
Had hot tofu soup, grilled flounder, and spicy pork today with the family. My wife and I could quickly agree that the food here is tastier than other tofu places. Place felt clean as well. Will definitely go back. Just sad we didn't take any pictures.

I got the steamed egg and bimbibap combo. The tofu soup came with plenty of beef and i got a lot of side dishes with the order. The bimbibap portion was also very large and good for sharing. However, be warned that for weekend dinners the wait time can be up to 45 min for a seat.

Enjoyed the tofu bibim bop and the vegetarian water based soon. They accommodated are vegetarian diet and the service was overall pleasant. No wait and I’m glad they don’t have robots serving only cause I believe it would just be messy for the vibe. I like that’s its mom and pop as well! Cleaner and much appetizing
