My comfort food! love the staff. Food is constantly good. Love the banchan. This is the place I choose when I'm happy, sad, and everything in between.

Our first time to dine here today. The place is quiet and there's enough parking to choose from. K-pop groups on tv are shown the whole time we are there. The music is not too loud. We ordered korean pancakes, japchae, dumpling/tofu soup and spicy chicken. The wait is not long since there are only 5-6 tables that are occupied. The ahjumma who took the order is very nice and gave us 6 side dishes that goes with our order and gave me more side dishes when she asked me if I like the side dishes - my favorite kimchi and relish ( made of radish ). The food are hot and sizzling. Definitely, we are coming back to try their bibimbap.

They're not just "OK" they're great lol. If there's one thing you should order, it's the 감자탕 (potato pork soup). I love when Korean restaurants garnish their stews with perilla leaves and perilla seeds; it tasted so flavorful and authentic. Like it came from my grandma's kitchen in the Korean countryside. Side dishes were also yummy. 1000/10

I love the sauce they used for the pork cutlet. The veggie pancake was delicious too.The food came with many sidedishes. Loved the fish cakes.

Food is great but it's expensive nowadays....Ambiance is dismal for the sole fact that I didn't want hip hop music loudly played ...should I have said anything?

One of the OGs for Korean food in the riverside area, been serving up great tofu soup for years. Favorites gotta be the octopus stone pot bibimbap and the seasonal summer spicy cold noodles!

All dishes taste good as always. You can always trust ok tofu house if you need some tofu soup.

The worst customer service I have ever experienced This experience at the tofu house left a negative impression on me. I was not greeted upon arrival and my server seemed to have an attitude towards me when I asked for a booth. To make matters worse, my server did not come by for 20 minutes, making it difficult to order or ask for assistance. This lack of hospitality and attentiveness greatly affected my dining experience.

The food was very nice. I ordered the ribs. They were super delicious. Very high-quality. The soup was very spicy just like I asked them to make it. Their appetizers were very delicious even though they give you really small portions. The lady at the restaurant was very sweet and welcoming, and the young man who was the waiter was very professional and welcoming. I liked this place very much very authentic Korean very good quality.

We drove out of our way to come here as it was the closest Korean Tofu place. This place doesn't honor its stated opening hours. Nothing more annoying...
Best soon doo bu (korean tofu soup) in Riverside!! As a Korean-American born and raised in So-Cal, I've tried a crap ton of korean resturants all around; OK Tofu House's selections are pretty good! I had their beef tofu soup at a spicy level, and it was extremely delicious! It hit all the right, rich flavors that I was looking for, although I wish it was a tad bit more spicier. my girlfriend and I also had their spicy chicken, which was also delicious! I've had better spicy chicken elsewhere, but it was still good here. we also had their vegetable pancakes, which were delicious! a bit thicker than the typical korean pancakes, but the taste and quality was identical to many I've tried in the past. I read another review saying that OK Tofu House doesn't compare to other restaurants of the same cuisine, and I have to agree. If you go to other surrounding cities where there are more options and a higher Korean population, of course you'll find better restaurants to your liking. But I can confidently say that this restaurant has a great selection that serves a competitive dish, and I never hesitate to eat here! On top of that, they're playing amazing kpop music (shoutout gfriend!), and the music videos are playing on the TVs (although they're kinda small). Service is also great. Our server checked up on us the perfect amount; not too much and not too little.

Found this hidden gem in Riverside, and what a relief it was in our area! If you're craving sundubu definitely stop by. The quality was good, portions were great, prices were fair :)

Amazing Korean BBQ. Have returned a few times, I just wished I lived closer in order to visit everyday and try all of their items on their menu.

More than OK! The broth is very rich and flavorful. Restaurant is clean and service was fast and friendly.
