The plates and cups were dirty and the food was not bad. Customer service is not so good too. It wasn’t satisfying.

The whole complex that this restaurant is in looked unpromising. It felt run down to me, but boy was I surprised. I have written a review about Tofuya but this place is actually next level! I would say that this place is second only to BCD Tofu House!I actually enjoyed every single dish I ordered: Grilled flatfish, Soon Beef Tofu, and dumplings. Every single dish's portion was very generous but I would say the Tofu in particular was the bomb! ? So let me start with that. ? By the way, DO NOT TOUCH the pot, if you need to bring it closer to you, please use a napkin. This pot is no joke, I hurt myself a little because I was too excited to dig in. ?When you choose to have eggs in your tofu, the server would put the egg in for you (clean hands! yay) ! Anyways, the soup feels light but still very tasty and they don't put sugar in any of their dishes (cheers to that). The meat was delicious and the tofu had perfect texture! Now, the grilled flatfish reminds me a lot of BCD Tofu's fish. They are both equally good but since we actually pay for the flatfish, the fishes are way bigger than the ones served in BCD. In terms of taste, Tofu Village's fish was less salty but I still enjoyed it very much! Dumplings? I didn't think it was anything special. It was delicious but I wouldn't order it again.Right, let's talk about the place then. The restaurant is pretty cozy and clean. I have a strong feeling that the waitress here is also the chef and owner of the store. The lady was nice and respectful but doesn't speak English that well. So speak slower if you won't be ordering your food in Korean. ?Overall, I would recommend this place, but maybe if you are not a huge fan of dumplings, then skip it. I would be coming back again though, that Tofu was a mood booster! ?

The food here is exceptional. We loved everything we ordered. Good service. The galbi is cooked and seasoned well. Soon tofu soup can be ordered from not spicy to spicy. Everything comes out hot and sizzling. The fried fish was hot and fresh. Overall great experience and food.

Very good food. Price is decent too. Love the lightly fried tofu. It’s the only way I eat it. The side dishes are very good. The beef ribs are yum. A nice spicy dumpling soup.

GalbitangGalbi: 0/5. Smallest portion of galbi in 34yrs. Galbi was also very tough. I suspect they threw the frozen galbi into the broth and served it in 10mi. There was significantly more bones than meat....Broth: 4/5. Broth was solidBanchan: 4/5. Good variety, fresh, quality for most dishesService: 4/5. While they dont smile much, I reckon it is the culture. They do respond promptly and they do check in with customersAlternatives: 2/5. If this place is the only korean place in vicinity, i would recommend it is worth once in a while. Unfortunately, this place is surrounded by better nearby korean alternatives.

The food is fantastic.

I seldom eat Korean food. I like the Soon Tofu at this place. I ordered mild and it was just right. They came you about 10 little dishes vegetable. They were good. The rice was individually cooked in a small bowl. It was wonderful. Service was good. The place was clean.

Great soon tofu with good variety of banchan, korean side dishes.

Very good tofu soup! The beef rib, seafood soup combo was great! Definitely would recommend this restaurant.

Great soon tofu with good variety of banchan, korean side dishes.
