I am a regular patron of Mr. Tofu, usually visiting at night, but recently I attended a business meeting there. I decided to order three items from the appetizer menu along with multiple servings of rice. However, I was informed by an elderly Korean waitress that if we did not order an entree, we would not receive any side dishes. Reluctantly, I ordered a subpar bulgogi dish. Unfortunately, the bulgogi we received consisted mainly of beef fat and was inedible, which was disappointing considering the high price. I also observed that the waitress was more attentive to other Korean customers, neglecting us Polynesian women. As a chef and food critic, Mr. Tofu used to be my preferred spot for late-night gatherings with clients or family, but after this lunchtime experience, I am reconsidering my loyalty. Despite having had great experiences on previous visits, this particular incident has led me to downgrade my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. I am hesitant to return to Mr. Tofu given the abundance of other excellent dining options in Chinatown. Very disappointed.

You can tell from the Bonchon and mainly Korean crowd that this place is legit. Ordered bulgogi dolsot bibimbap and soondubu+ yellow croaker(fish) combo... So good. Definitely will bookmark next time I happen to be in Vegas.

Bruh, this is THE PLACE I guess…Everything, literally EVERYTHING on the table tastes amazing; side dishes here are absolutely fire rice are served in hot stone pots which means you got a layer of crispy rice at the end. soak it into your soup and thank me later.Tbh this is the very first time I miss rice since I’m on keto.Will comeback to try the galbi Jim and update this review.They are fire
Highly recommended restaurant with lots of side dishes!!!

At the end of March 2024, 6 people went back for the first time in a long time and had a delicious meal, but they did not provide any special service and forced a 20% group tip. It's delicious, but I won't be going there again...

On March 6th, I took four friends from Atlanta, GA for lunch.We each orderd, and when the server bought the condiments she said " no refills on the condiments"Unheard of such statment in Korean restaurants.The server never returned to the our table after she broughtthe food except for dropping off the bill.Terrible service.

The side dishes are neat and generally tasty. The sundubu jjigae was delicious, but I found the yangnyeom gejang disappointing as it had too much ginger.

One of many Korean spots in Las Vegas. I got the kalbi combo with Mandu soup. Food is decent with a wide array of side dishes. However service was literally non existent. I'm Asian so I'm use to terrible service but man this place is bad bad. We couldn't even get anyone to take our order or pay for our bill. Good luck getting a refill on anything or togo boxes or water. Unless the place tastes amazing there's so many other places you can spend your money at. Food wasn't bad per say maybe it would be better to order togo? Maybe 5/6 tables occupied, I can't even imagine if they were half full or full. Parking lot is also terrible but it's cool to take a pic or all the side dishes.

Tbh, my first time could have been a better experience. So I'm glad I gave them another visit. Recently, I left this restaurant with a smile so I know I'll be their regular every time I visit Vegas. Their tofu soup is amazing even when it's TOGO. Soup is not watery and is full of flavors. Price is pricey, but it's understandable with everything else inflating. Totally worth a try.

Sat for 20 minutes without being served water . Watched other customers being sat and order taken . Came from out of state and decided to try something new. If you are not the same race they will bypass you and not serve you first . Walked out without even getting a glass of water. Do not.come here.
