THE HOTTER, BETTER COUSIN OF KAJU TOFU HOUSEUpdated ( I sincerely have to give 1 star because I found this in my kimchi pancake)One of the best korean dishes I have ever had, this is also counting the food I have tried in South Korea. Employees work over here are super friendly and attentive, food come out super fast and boy oh boy was it so gooood !!! Compare to the soup I ate in Kaju ( have to compare cause they basically the same and Kaju previous owner opened Emone Tofu), Emone Tofu is better, the soup, the tofu and the protein, everything. Oh and big plus is that it’s been 5 hours from the lunch now I still feel good. Only thing is that it’s far from the T and there’s a limit on parking space.I love this place :D

If I could give a 0 star, I would. I can go home and make these dishes in 10 min. The pork belly is chewy and bland. The ribs are over cooked . The side dishes are a joke and looks old. Totally disappointment. Don’t waste your money here.

Tofu soup and bibimbop were not authentic at all. Soup was flavorless (when did mild spicy mean NO pepper flakes?! It was almost white in color...) and ingredients felt skimped. The meat in the bibimbop was so dry and why are there bell peppers in bibimbop?! I don't think a Korean person made this food and I'm disappointed at the taste. The price is super high too... Never going back.

The WORST Korean restaurant I’ve ever visited. The pork belly is basically pieces of fat, and very thick. The taste of other dishes is also mediocre, however the price is quite high, the pork belly is $24.99.

We came at an off peak time, late lunch, early dinner so there was no wait. We were loud and had an infant with us and the server was very accommodating and understanding.The food was very good portions to share. There were 4 of us and we had leftovers. We got the seafood Tofu soup and it came out bubbling hot. If you want to put the egg in there, you have to crack it in right when the soup comes out if you want the egg to cook. There are different spicy levels for the soup - we went with medium spicy and that was good enough where you can taste the flavors in the soup along with a slight kick.The noodles were very flavorful and very large portion.

stopped in here for dinner last weekend. we ordered two tofu stew soups and a plate of crispy pork belly. the crispy pork belly was cooked to perfection. it was crispy to the right amount and not burnt. the two stews we ordered were kimchi and pork and the other was beef and octopus. both stews had depth in their flavor profile. the little dishes that accompanied our dinner were tasty... not the best not the worst... on par with the boston area. the one unforgivable mistake from our experience that night was the rice, it was undercooked. when you bit down to the center, the rice was still raw. non perfect rice from an asian establishment... c'mon Emone. with that said, i'll definitely go back... and hopefully, they'll get their rice in order.

Terrible. Soup was very watered down, the mushroom soup tastes like straight up soaking water for the mushrooms (probably because they didn’t actually soak and wash the mushrooms). Worst of all, there was a piece of plastic in my soup and it cut my mouth!! I would give negative if I could. Avoid for your own safety.

When you first see it, you might doubt it by the look BUT THE FOOOD ? let's AMAZING!!!!!. Everything we had was very tasty, fresh, hot and definitely filled us up. The waitress is very nice and polite. I definitely recommend it.

Brought my grandson and his girl. We all got Bibimbap and it was terrible. The atmosphere was cold, service terrible and food barely edible. Will not return.

We ordered a vegetarian tofu soup and kimchi oyster tofu soup. The tofu soups we thought tasted really good, but the side dishes were pretty tasteless. The rice was fine, it wasn't undercooked or overcooked. The tteokbokki with cheese and ramen was good, but it wasn't anything special. There was no music playing so it felt really awkward. There was only one guy out front doing all the work. Despite being so busy, he took the time to ask how our food was. The tables were awkwardly very large, and there could have been much more work done to improve the interior design of the place. The food was okay but not sure if I'd come back.
This place used to be my favorite for Korean food but recently the quality has gone down significantly. The last time we visited unfortunately the appetizers didn’t taste fresh, the soup was less flavorful, and the rice was undercooked. I’ll wait a bit before coming back.

So heartbreaking. The Korean owner had sold this restaurant. The food is not good as the old time. The recipes have changed. The chefs have changed. I came to this restaurant at least once a week before COVID happened. The owner and the Korean waitress knew me. I’m so sad the restaurant is not the same one.

For a millennial hot spot, their food for korean food is not so bad. They choose pretty smart menu that they can pull. I went there with family and we enjoyed bimbimbap, kalbee, bulgogi, roasted eel, and tofu soup. We enjoyed them. I dont know if they have no beverage option or it just the server that lacks? We never overed anything else, and he ignored us the whole time we were there. We basically have to asked for everything including check.

The biggest issue was that everything tasted off, as if it had gone bad. Most shocking was how bad the shiitake mushrooms were. Like those cook themselves, you don't really need to do much to them for them to taste good. Side dishes were ok, not amazing, but you could pull those out of a jar. Price point wasn't great for what I got also. Total was $16 before tip. I did get my order pretty quickly though, for better or worse. 5 minutes.

BBQ is pretty pretty good. Don't get the intestine tofu soup lol it kinda smells. Otherwise good restaurant in overall
