Came here last weekend and have to say I'm really happy with the quality of food! Their service wasn't bad and could use some work but the ladies here are all very sweet and give you instructions on how to eat if you don't look Korean, which always find funny. It's a medium sized place with some bench seating and very chill/relaxed vibe.Usually galbi tends to be on the sweet side and since I'm more low sugar the last few years, things tend to be even more sweet but their galbi was just a little sweet, which was great. It really allows you to taste the quality of the meat and get more of the smoky taste.The banchan (side dishes) were also excellent and tend to judge Korean restaurants on the quality of variety of their banchan and they definitely had some great options. In all, they provide 8, with the sweet potatoes, spicy eggplant, and spicy bean sprouts being some of my favorites.Also got the army stew, which they call hotpot here and man is it huge. They said it's good for 2-3 people but feel like it's got to be 3 really hungry people with this being the only thing you order!I definitely want to come back and try their chicken wings as many other tables ordered them and it looked good.Parking: In a shopping center so lots of available parking

Tofu pot was tasty and still came with an egg. Good selection of dishes. Grilled spicy squid was really good too.

This place is pretty good. Service is fast and friendly.I think the place serves up delicious meals and nutritious food.The Banchan is good but I think the bean sprouts was too salty. The fried chicken is pretty good.

Ordered togo and I honestly feel scammed. Usually we dine in since their cold noodles are pretty decent but this time we ordered to go and wanted something hot. We ordered their Galbi and tofu soup combo and it was so tiny!! $50 for a smaller portion of their tofu soup and FOUR PEICES of galbi. That's right 4 (like the 1/3 of a whole piece if you know what I mean). For an extra $20 we would've gotten the full servings which would have been DOUBLED the soup and at least 20 pcs of galbi. I dont like leaving negative reviews which is why it's a 3 star. I would rate my visits to be 4 stars.

1. Tteokbokki, 30. Tteok Man Du Guk, and the seafood pancake. All great and delicious, even to go. Paired great with a kolsch type beer. Highly recommend

Came on a Monday and there were only a few tables empty! A few minutes after we were seated there was a wait for other customers. We ordered two combination tofu soups, one not spicy and one mild. They were both very flavorful! The mild was even a bit spicy for me at first since it was so hot. The soups came out right after the banchan, which were also delicious. I especially liked the potatoes and eggplant! We still have leftovers for the next day. Would come again, and after seeing the pictures of chicken on Yelp I want to try that as well!

Ordered on Uber Eats. $132. Did not get any of my items correct except steamed rice. This is what you call tteokbokki with cheese and ramen? No. It’s a bowl of beef and soggy vegetables with unseasoned rice cakes. Take your business elsewhere. Shameful.

Hidden germ in Milpitas! Authentic Korean food with high quality of gal bi tang, ginseng chicken soup, and seafood pancake. Gal Bi tang had generous portion. 3 long ribs. Juicy and tender. Soup is well seasoned.Ginseng chicken soup has the mini chicken that is stuffed with sticky rice. The flavor is so dense but wish that the chicken is more tender....Seafood pancake has tons of ingredient. Fresh and crispy.Also amazing banchan! The eggplant and tofu were so yummy.Servers were very friendly. Lots of parking. Price is definitely on the higher side but will return for sure.

Great Korean restaurant with massive portions (my bibimbap was huge). Good banchan as well and quick service. Minus 1 star for the prices…tofu soup was a hearrbreaking $19.99 (usually this is one of the more affordable items on the menu).
Stopped by for dinner on a Sunday evening. It feels like a very homey place, and the servers are quick and friendly.The banchan variety here is great! I loved the eggplant, fish cake, potatoes, and kelp. The kimchi is more fresh and less fermented. They rotate their banchan based on availability but based on the offerings being good I have no doubt all the options are of the same quality.The soondubu with seafood is very shrimp heavy. I personally am a fan but it may be too much for people who aren't into strong flavors as much.The kalbitang had 3 large rib pieces and egg ribbons throughout. It tasted a lot more heavy on sesame oil than I'm used to -- I think I would stick to the soondubu if I'm looking for soup but it was still good, just up to personal preference.The pork bulgogi was good but pretty oily, which I feel has been typical of most bulgogi in general.Overall I would come again for their soondubu and sides alone, but I'd be interested to try their other options.

Hansang tofu has quickly become my boyfriend and my favorite Korean spot. They are open later than other tofu houses and have a variety of foods to choose from.They are run by ahjummas so it's very homey and it feels like they are always trying to take care of you!We've gotten the spicy cold noodle, fried chicken, tofu soups and the seafood pancake.The spicy cold noodle is not spicy at all and was so refreshing and nice on a hot summers day. It comes with one meat slice. The noodles were chewy, long and fun to eat. One bowl is enough for one person, but if you want more protein you'd have to order something else bc there's only one slice of meat.The first time we went, we were not gonna get chicken wings, but we saw everyone else get it, so.... we got an order lol. We decided on the supreme flavor. It kind of tastes like the chinese dish, sweet and sour pork. But instead of pork, it's chicken. If you order the chicken but not wings, you will get other chopped pieces, such as the parts of breast, drum and thigh. They will all be different sizes.The tofu soups here are very good. My bf has gotten the extra spicy and there are different flavor profiles per spicy level, which I also enjoyed. The spiciness is not overwhelming but will gradually build. I got mild and loved the flavor. The broth and spices they use are deliciousWe've been on a hunt for a good seafood pancake spot and this is definitely it. Originally we weren't gonna order it since we've been let down too many times, but we're glad that we did. It has a nice crunch, seafood plentiful, and not too doughy! Perfect ratio. It has flavor without the sauce too, but the sauce compliments it well. My bf and I finished 2/3 of it!l before we left!! When we packed it, the ahjumma gave us extra seafood pancake sauce in our bag :) awesome customer service!Don't get me started on their 9 plate banchan!! I haven't seen a place with that many before. They switch it up sometimes though so you might not get the same ones every time. You will mostly get typical kimchi, japchae, fish cake and potato, bean sprouts, broccoli, pickled cucumber (one of my faves). They switch up between tofu , radish, eggplant and the pickled seaweed (last two are my other favorites). All very delicious.Thank you hamsang tofu for another yummy dinner. Will come back for more chicken and tteabbokki

After a nice long hot hike to Mission Peak, this place hit the spot. Korean cold noodles on a hot day are so refreshing and we were so glad to have found this spot!Hansang Tofu is in an unassuming plaza. We got here a little before 12 on a Saturday and there was no line but it got super busy and packed at like 1230. The waitresses were super overworked when it was packed so don't expect your banchan to be refilled.Now on to our order:BanchanThese banchan were plentiful and filling. They were all pretty tasty and I really enjoyed the spice on the bean sprout and tofu. The japchae was basically just the noodles but satisfied my japchae craving.Mul Naeng Myun 4/5 $24.99These noodles are perfectly iced with a strong and flavorful beef broth. There is an underlying sourness that blends well with the mustard condiment and leaves you wanting another bite. I really enjoyed the crisp and crunchy fresh veggies as well. The downside is the price. For this price, I'd expect more beef and more veggies. Chicken wings 4/5 $21.99These chicken wings were well fried and crispy. The insides were still tender and juicy as well. It was however missing a touch of salt which would've elevated the fattiness of the fried chicken. Again for the price, it's hard to justify a higher rating.Overall, it was the perfect spot for cold noodles. A cute little mom and pop shop in a small plaza. Highly recommend you trying it!

Food was delicious , Service was prompt and friendly & ambiance was good on a sunday afternoon! My first time having Tteokbokki & it was delicious!! All the banchans were also more flavorful than what I've tried at other places. The chicken soondubu was delicious as well with more spice and flavor than at other Korean places as well.
