All the food we ordered tastes really good. The beef bulgogi and short ribs in sizzling plates are my favorite. The gyoza is crunchy and juicy at the same time. This is our Korean favorite resto now in palm springs. You got to try this place ?

I recently visited K-Tofu House and was blown away by their soon tofu soup. It was truly the most delicious I've ever had. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the tofu was perfectly soft and silky.But the standout feature of K-Tofu House was definitely the staff. They were all so friendly and welcoming, and they made the dining experience feel like a home away from home. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. Whether you're a tofu lover or just looking for a cozy, welcoming atmosphere, K-Tofu House is the place to be.

My parents and I got inside and it took a couple minutes for us to get seated. It also took a couple moments to get our orders, but it wasn't so long of a wait. The place was pretty much packed. We got the chicken teriyaki, vegetable and mushroom soon tofu, and the bulgogi bibimbap.The chicken teriyaki was really good, I liked the sauce it was coated in. It wasn't too salty or too sweet, it was really pleasant. The side dishes/banchan were also good, I liked the fish cake the most. I didn't get to try the veggie and mushroom soon tofu, but they delivered it boiling to the table. The tofu dish was served in a stone pot/dolsot which was cool. They also gave an egg to crack open in the soup. The bulgogi bibimbap was delicious as well, and I received bottles of sesame oil and red chili paste/gochujang to add to my bowl. However for the price, I wish that the portion size was larger.After the whole experience I'd rate this place 4.5 stars out of 5. I wouldn't give this establishment 5 stars because prices are pretty steep. Pretty much most of the entrees were $20-$30 each. For me, when I rate 5 stars it means that I will continually give my money to the place and come here often. If I did come here often, I wouldn't have any money left haha :(Regardless of the score, I highly recommend this place. Service was amazing and everyone we came across were so kind. The server was such a sweet lady who took care of us. She was pretty much the only main person serving, wiping down tables, helping prepare side dishes in the kitchen, and leading people to tables. And there were like 9/10 tables filled while we were there. That lady was HUSTLING. Owners, I hope y'all cherish her. And the man who took our order and served us was nice as well. Thank you for taking care of me and my family, we look forward to coming back here again.

We liked the hospitality and the food. Unfortunately the prices were much higher than we are used to for Korean food. The number of ban chan (side dishes) was fairly small, but of great quality. Overall, I would give 5 stars if the pricing was slightly lower, and if word got around I believe they could make up for lower prices if they had more business perhaps?

OK, finally found a legit Korean joint in the desert! I do wish they had more appetizers (no chicken wings or seafood pancake?) on their menu but hey, it was all good food and we totally enjoyed our meals and we will, without a doubt, be back.

Granted, this is my first time ever having the Soon Tofu, but just WOW! The balance of spicy flavor is incredible. Just enough pork to make it interesting, and so much tofu! It was enough for me for two meals, with the addition of 2 pieces of fried chicken on the first night. And a bit of rice (and broccoli from my own kitchen) on the 2nd. Love the kimchi and pickles, too. The fried chicken was amazing, but had just a tiny bit of over-used oil flavor? Maybe an oil I'm not familiar with. Still have a number of pieces left for another meal (or 2). But love the crunchiness of the fried part and tenderness of the chicken. Plenty of Korean folks in there eating when I went for pickup. Looked clean. Staff super friendly. Easy parking - in a strip center.

A nice family owned Korean restaurant. Initially we were skeptical of the high Yelp reviews. But the food is very clean and well prepared. Seating area is very clean. Staff are wearing masks. We have been to many Korean restaurants and this was one of the cleanest ever. The prices were a bit high but this is the only Korean option in town. I would recommend for family and visitors to the area looking for some authentic Asian food while in Palm Desert. Tofu soup had lots of ingredients. Well worth the price. Must be a whole container of tofu inside. Downside was less soup.

It was our first time having Korean Food , we really appreciated the honesty , suggestions and services from the people at the restaurant! The food was incredible , the service amazing and the place was tidy and clean lovely ! Just wish you the best to this place !!! for you work and thanks for that delicious food! Totally recommended it!
I found this place through Google while i was filling up the gas tank at nearby Costco. I ordered Assorted Tofu Soup and Yachae Bibimap. They were not the most flavorful Korean dishes I had BUT the ingredients were SO fresh. This should really be the bar for every restaurants but sadly not many restaurants would meet the bar.

I can't tell you if this was authentic or not, but it was amazingly delicious. If you're looking for something that isn't generic American or Italian in the greater Palm Springs area, I highly recommend giving K-Tofu House a try. Absolutely fantastic tofu soup with silky smooth tofu, nice fresh veggies, tender beef, and well seasoned broth. Delicious, tender, slightly sweet la galbi as well.

First off... their food is really good. I'd give five stars for their food. Their service is as bad as it can get. So, I give three stars overall. We ordered online and immediately got cancellation notice. My credit card was charged and I have not seen any refund, even though the notice said it will be refunded. We'll see how that goes. We thought they were not taking online order, so we went to the restaurant to place a to-go order. I walked in, waited for good 5 minutes, was told to talk to the guy (assuming he's the cook/owner?) to place a to-go order. I told him that I wanted to place a to-go order and I was told that they were not taking any orders. There were other people picking up orders at the same time and there were about 20 people eating in the restaurant. I have no idea why he could not take my order. If you can get in to this restaurant and be served, you'll enjoy their food. But, they are not very service oriented...

Happened to see this resto while running errands and decided to try their Ramen. And boy it was good! Went back with the family during black Friday to check out other dishes. Everything we ordered tasted great. I'm not sure if it was just coz it was a holiday that we had a 1hour waiting but it was worth the wait. So, check this place if you want some authentic Korean dishes.
