OK Tofu House

We arrived at this restaurant at 9pm and they closed at 930pm. The service was great. They were very attentive and didn’t rush us at all. The food was delicious. We even got free ice cream for checking in. I loved this place!

For the area it’s in and the service and amount of food, it’s actually really good. So they gave us these potato onion pancakes for free along with our food. they also gave us some sweet rice punch at the end. The amount they give in the soup is plenty and the pricing is the same as other tofu places.

Nice little mom and pop type of place. Came a little past lunch time and the place wasn’t busy. Service was fast and the server was pleasant. Had their beef bulgogi and vegetable tofu soup combo meal. The meal came with a Korean pancake and six small yet filling side-​dishes. Beef bulgogi was delicious. However, the vegetable tofu soup was a bit bland and needed more flavor.

Nice service but got tricked in by the 4 star rating. Food was very subpar. Came in after a retreat with my big group of 15, and all of our food was completely flavorless.
If this is 4 stars in Riverside, makes you really question the quality of food/​standards in general in the area.
I’m going to stick to eating good Asian food in LA/​SD.

So yummy !!! Love this place:) even took me half an hour driving. Love the free pancake, it’s so delicious I just can’t stop eating! The tofu soup and so delicious and I just love everything here… Oh sometimes the services can be slow. But always worth waiting :)

I really liked the food here. It wasn’t terribly crowded, but there were several parties conversing over their meals. I ordered mandoo soondubu (Tofu soup with dumplings) with a Hite and sat back. This restaurant gives you a pitcher of water at each table, so you can fill up with as much as you want.
A hot vegetable pancake came out and I enjoyed the strong taste of fresh green onions from it. The banchan (side dishes) were not fancy, but well made and complimentary to each other. In particular, the fish cakes were a real treat, as they very much reminded me of the fish cakes I grew up eating as snacks. The hostess offered to refill my banchan, but I declined because I was getting really full.
The extra spicy mandoo soondubu was a little watery at the top, but I believe that they know their flavor. Once I made it down about halfway, their recipe really kicked in with a savory edge imparted by the small cuts of beef that they add into this dish. This soup really matured as I ate it. It was generously supplied with dumplings, small cuts of beef, mushrooms, plenty of silken tofu, and the ever present egg that you add when it comes out.
As I noted earlier, this was really filling. You really can make a meal out of just the tofu soup and side dishes. Their staff is also very attentive. I was getting pretty hot with the spicy soup, so they brought out a complimentary rice porridge with shaved ice and a bit of syrup (lychee maybe?). Even if you’re not a regular, the staff here treats everyone very well. This is definitely a place I will recommend to my friends.

This seems to be the only Korean tofu house restaurant in the area. I used to come here when I craved tofu soup during my UCR days. It is a mom and pop shop run by an elderly couple.
The pancakes that they serve are so delicious! The side dishes are also great especially the fish cakes. However, I came a few times when they didn’t serve the fish cakes. Darn, that’s the best side dish! I usually order their tofu soups. Yummy and made just as it should be. I’ve never been disappointed! I also liked their bibimbap.
Since other tofu houses are too far, it hits the spot. 3.5 stars but I will bump it up because the owners are so friendly.

Going keep this short and simple. This is no BCD, but it’s actually ok considering its in the IE and it’s the only tofu house within a 15+ miles radius. The service was petty slow at times, but the owner is very nice and friendly.
Food:
Beef Tofu mild was lacking flavor and the beef were in big chunks.
Kim Chee Tofu extra spicy. This was ok. It had a bit more flavor, maybe because of the extra spice.
Bulgogi. Another ok dish. The beef was well marinated and tender.
Bibimbap. This was the best dish. I had better, but this was my dish of the night.
In the end it was just ok.

Been here a couple times with friends so I took my parents and they loved it. You get a pot of food for what you order and the service is great. It’s usually not busy when I go. The owners are really nice, plus they have Korean shows playing in the background haha.
