Best Korean BBQ restaurant in SSF! There are no grills for you to cook your own, but the meat based dishes are very full flavoured. Service request is with a bell installed at each table (love it). The ambient is well lit. Larger party friendly. Kpop videos playing on the screens. All that is expected in the best ways.Vegetarian options: There isn't much purely vegetarian dishes. If you are ok with meat mashed soup with vegetarian 'toppers' then you'll be fine with tofu soups, fried tofu, etc. Ban chans are veggies based.

Was craving korean food and decided to try this and ended up being impressed! We ordered bibimbap, seafood pancake, and chicken soup.Bibimbap and the seafood pancake has great portion and flavor. The pancake was crispy and full of seafood. The chicken soup was ordered as plain and not exactly my favorite, but my friend loved it.Service was great because the server was present and ready for all of our questions when needed.The restaurant was big and comfortable. I’ll definitely go back!

The food was salty. Taste like MSG. I had beef tofu soup and tasted like packaged tofu soup. The seafood pancake was really good. That will be the only thing that I would go back to order. I felt so thirsty after eating.

I really like this place. The service is polite and the prices are very reasonable for large portions of authentically made Korean food. We had the seafood pancake, stone pot bibimpop, and the tofu soup and all were excellent. Service can be slightly slow as there can sometimes be only two people serving multiple tables, but the food comes out in a timely enough fashion and it's delicious.

This place is a small, yet cozy restaurant that offers good Korean food! The seafood pancake was super crispy and had good seafood inside, and we also got the Galbi which was super flavorful. The rice cake with bulgogi was lacking, The flavors were off and there was not enough Bulgogi. The sauce was runny/watery and too sweet.Service was slow because they were busy.

If you're looking for an amazing seafood pancake or some comforting soft tofu soup, this is the place! The seafood pancake is crispy on the outside and loaded with seafood on the inside. I usually don't like how most places make seafood pancakes but this place really has the best! Their tofu soup is also great too. The fried tofu was just okay to me. The ban chan was a little bit too salty but would be good with rice!
Paid by card. Mom's Tofu is located downstairs and offers street parking. I went on a Thursday afternoon at 430 PM and there were only a few other parties there. They only have indoor seating.I ordered the seafood pancake, beef tofu soup spicy, and stone pot bibimbap. Everything was great and the servers were so nice. I would recommend this place and would go back.

Everything was really good for the price! Nice interior and clean. Attentive staff, came in on a Friday night and was surprisingly empty. Came with my partner and we both ordered combos. We got SUPER full and definitely a lot of complimentary banchan to go around. 1 combo can fill two people so I recommend that. We were able to have leftovers.

Very clean and nice environment. You have to walk down steps to get to the restaurant You can park on the street. We came on a Monday night around 750pm and there was street parking. Spots weren't plentiful bc a lot of people were out and it looks like a fairly busy street. But you should be able to find one spot on other days even on busier daysWe were greeted right away even though the server was way in the front. Good service and attentive.There were 3 other tables with people so liked that it wasn't empty but not crazy full.Order got received quickly. The guy must have known I was Korean so he asked me how spicy I wanted my soup in Korean. I liked that hahaWe got the Dumpling - 4.5/5Seafood pancake - 4.5/5Mandoo tofu soup - 4.5/5. Maybe if I should have ordered the slightly spicier one bc I got mild Galbi - 4.5/5Ban Chan - 5/5. Fresh and tastyI loved how they gave us a small creamy soup initially and the sweet rice drink shikae at the end Loved the burnt rice tooOverall really enjoyed the experience! 5/5!

Authentic Korean food that specializes in tofu in SSF. Located on the lower level, you can find parking on the street or at a parking garage nearby. Came here on a Saturday evening and there wasn't really a wait. Very home styled and a variety of items to order. My friend had been craving bossam (Korean pork) with lettuce wraps so he really wanted to come here. We ordered deep fried tofu and their tofu soybean soup. We asked for lettuce wraps and of course we had to have our beer and soju with our meal. Service is great and it feels like home because they also use Costco disposable plates and utensils which makes it easy for them. Definitely Korean styled with the wooden tables. I'd definitely come back and recommend this place if you're looking for Korean food that's not all you can eat.
