Was here to visit relative and decided to eat here. We got the rib with tofu soup and marinated sirloin noodle stew. The short rib is overcooked a little bit, but the noodle stew taste really dense and really tasty. The rice is very mushy and watery.The old lady waitresses are not good in English and a bit rude at first when we place the order, but later she asked us if we need anything else and said thank you when we paid for the bill. Overall, average.

The food here is absolutely delicious but the owner is always rude. There is one younger lady that is super friendly but unfortunately for me she was not here. I continue to come here because the ramen, tofu soups and bulgogi are so tasty. It's sad that I need to resort to taking my food to go to not deal with her which is very unfortunate.

Not a formal setting, this place reminds me of a simple cafe in a suburb of Incheon or Daejon. That being said, the flavors here are all there. Arrived very hungry after lunchtime and we were quickly satiated. Food was delivered fresh and quick by a wonderfully friendly Korean lady. Happily when I asked for extra Gochujang - she brought a whole squeezy bottle full for us to enjoy. Abundant banchan rounded off this very satisfying meal. So much so that we totally didn't want to go back to work afterwards - lol. Come here if you want a quick, simple, no-nonsense Korean feast. Will definitely recommend to all my friends in the Freemont area.

We had soft tofu soup, and short rib soup. I was charged for 12.69% tax and 18% tip was automatically included but the waitress never said anything about it. The lady with pink hair had impolite and the food was just so so.

Food is so so. Prices are on the higher side. On top of this, they add a “mandatory” 18% tip to your bill after taxes, even for a smaller table. Deceptive practice. Won’t be going

Food is good but very very expensive. Service is terrible, borderline racist.I was there with my mum and husband and ladies helping the tables waited on all other tables while asking all other customers if they needed anything else and it took them more then 30mins to get to us. My mum wanted hot sauce, it was a pain trying to get anyone attention on our table. While taking the order, the waitress was literally yelling at us to look at the menu and just order don't ask questions. I took my mum out for a appreciation dinner and it was the worst spot. I will not be going back regardless of how good the food is.Everyone, every culture should be welcome to Enjoy food, that's what brings us together. Treat your customers with some respect.

every time ive stopped by seoul tofu house ive tried something different and every dish ive tried has been so bomb! even my friend who's vegetarian had really enjoyed her dishes. and that's usually my priority - is to ensure that my friends who have dietary restrictions is accounted for/have solid options to choose from. so 10/10 would recommend for yall to check this space out!- seafood and green onion pancake - A7 ($18.99)- beef rib soup - E7 ($20.99)- udon spicy beef soup - E4 ($19.99)- ham & cheese tofu soup - B9 ($17.99)- vege & mushroom tofu soup - B7 ($17.99)- cold buckwheat noodles mixed w/ spicy sauce - E9 ($18.99)tips:- sharable portions for family style or just for yourself too :)- plentiful options to choose from- service is super good- family, groups, friends, and date friendly

This place is a hidden gem. It's very clean, but cold in the winter. I don't mind because mini appetizers are always included, the food comes out quickly, is consistently delicious and cooked well--not over or under-cooked. More American palates will enjoy the BBQ short ribs--comes out on sizzling hot plate. A little pricey for amount of food you get, but never disappointed. Come here for good food!

I've been to Seoul Tofu House a few times in the past, last Wed went here for dinner. It was open around 4:30pm so that's a big plus when so many places don't open until 5pm. Got combo tofu soup w/ spicy pork $29.99, I got it veggie which is mushroom tofu soup, got it medium. No egg cuz of egg prices, so bummed! Spicy pork was little burnt and super temp hot, we liked it still. Hubby got seafood tofu soup, asked for spicy. He liked it. Got Free refills on banchans we liked. Charged it. Separate bathrooms on the left-side back. Support local restaurants.

It always happens! Every time I stream Korean show on TV and the show the characters eating Korean food, I get the sudden craving for Korean food. This spot always hits that craving! This is actually our second time here. The first time was during the pandemic 2020, so it was all for pick up and to go food. At that time I did not Yelp it cause we ate before I could record our order. 2023 and here we are sitting in the dining area! This place did not disappoint me. The food was delicious and as for me, a non Korean, it was authentic! We had the Deep Fried Dumplings, the Seafood Pancake, SamGyeTang, Marinated Beef Short Rib, and of course the sides. Everything was fresh and sizzling and even boiling when our order arrived. Consuming the food on the spot made it taste even better. The staff and the ambiance of the place is decent. Everyone is attentive, kind and most of all friendly.
