Korean Tofu King

I was a customer of The Gogi for years at this location, but they retired!KOREAN TOFU KING is the new Korean diner at this address. "Tofu King" has a really big menu, not just TOFU.This place is very neat & clean. Staff is very courteous & helpful.The Kim Chee Beef soup with Tofu was tasty & filling. The Ban Chan was so fresh, maybe the best I ever ate!A small Caesar Salad was a bonus, with delicious dressing.Other diners around me were Korean and a table of Chinese ladies, enjoying conversation while dining.KPOP video was up on the giant big screen, but not loud at all.There is a "private section in the front, ask the staff if you can have quiet spot.This is right along Frontage Road of 75 Central XPWY southbound in Plano, Texas, in small parking lot next to Shipley Donuts & Jersey Mike.(Avoid frontage road by turning behind Shipley's from Chisholm Trail.)

Food - 4Service - 5Value - 5We came here a few weeks ago and with the 20% for their grand opening, it was a good value with large portions. Some of the menu items needed updating (e.g., no croaker, but a egg pancake was substituted instead -- we actually preferred the egg pancake anyhow). Their vegetable tofu soup also said that it included mushrooms, but we didn't find any...and then when we asked about it they said it doesn't come with mushrooms.Service was great and staff took feedback and passed it on to the owner.The decor still has some things that say "The Gogi" on it so it's a little confusing when you first walk in and see that.

Formerly The Gogi in Plano but now Korean Tofu King as of Oct.Ordered the galbi/veg tofu soup combo. Croaker does not come with entree as listed on menu, instead they sub in an egg omelet/roll with the banchan.Galbi order consists of six pieces that were a bit gristly so I wouldn't get that again. Veg tofu soup didn't come with mushrooms as listed on menu.Politely pointed out both of these menu misprints to staff & they were receptive to the feedback. Service was nice & pleasant. Plenty of japchae for leftovers. 20% off for grand opening, they think it may run until end of the year.

First time here, and it won't be the last! This easily became a top restaurant. Their banchan are fresh and delicious, and they were generous. I also like that they offer salad as one of them. The tofu soup comes with rice in a hot bowl (just like at Cho Dang). I got medium spicy but might go for spicy next time. I do slightly prefer this meal here over Cho Dang. They were so sweet and checked on us a couple of times. There were plenty of seatings/tables.

They give many side dishes: radish, omelet, lettuce, bean sprouts, kimchi, cucumber, fish cake, seaweed, and another one that I can't remember. We ordered the tofu soup and bulgogi combo, which were small, but with all the sides and rice, we couldn't finish! We also got the bibimbap, and it was very big compared to other Korean restaurants. The employees are very kind and helped guide me on how to eat the rice.

Worst Korean tofu stew I've ever had in my entire life. Not an exaggeration. I'm also Korean btw. So I went with my husband and MIL. Both of them ordered medium spice level, and I ordered spicy spice level. I assume that spicy should be spicier than medium, but I guess not. When I ordered with the Korean lady, I had my finger pointed at the word "spicy" on the menu but I said the word in Korean. Anyways, she said it back to me in English and said "spicy" so I said yes. Btw, I ordered a spicy small intestine tofu stew. When my soup came out, the broth was clear white broth. There was absolutely zero spice in it. I should have taken a picture of that but I didn't. I told the servers about it and they took it back to add some spice to the soup- no big deal. They brought the soup back.. but the only problem that I can see is that my soup is now the color that would be between mild and medium (based on my husband and MIL's soup color). I also tried it and it barely has any spice.. in fact, my husband's medium is spicier than mine. Another thing that sucks is that the intestine overcooked slightly when they went back to boil it longer to add spice in. I flagged down a lady and explained that my husband got medium, I got spicy, and that my husband's medium is spicier than my spicy dish.. and then she asked if I want more spice. I said yes. She proceeds to squirt sweet capsaicin sauce into a sauce dish and hands it to me. What am I supposed to do with this? Yes, capsaicin sauce is super spicy but I expect my Korean tofu stew to be properly seasoned.. which doesn't mean I should be just pouring a bunch of capsaicin into my soup. I expect it to be Korean pepper flakes, chili peppers, and maybe even some Korean pepper paste (not sure how they make theirs, but any of these would be common). The soup was unappetizing & I know for a fact that if their own family member showed up, that they wouldn't serve this to them. They should have started over. I barely ate my soup because it was so bland, tasteless, watery, and the intestine was too chewy like gum. When asking for the check, they asked if I wanted to a to-go box, I just said no. We typically tip well, but only ended up tipping 15% here for subpar service and experience.

The food was really delicious, and service was excellent. Got the hot stone bibimbap and a tofu soup/Kalbi combo. Everything was great. Can't wait to come back!

The gopochung tofu soup and the ribs are soooooo good! And the banchans were so good and lots of variety!!! Service is awesome, will be coming back!

We ate lunch here today and it was delicious. Lots of banchan. Fast and friendly service. Refill on banchan. Great containers to go. Compared to Korean food in LA and NYC the food is tasty and reasonably priced. We will be back!

Great food and fabulous service! My mom and I were so impressed by the delicious food and genuinely caring service. We love this place!!
