Master Kim's Tofu House

My korean friend said: if you see the older generation at a korean spot, you know its legit. Food: I wanted some kbbq tofu soup and this was like five minutes from my old place. We got the Budae Jjigae Hot Pot and Bo Ssam. Honestly this is a couple week since i been there but i just remember everything being amazing. The korean american soup with the cheese was an expereince. My friend said back during the korean war, american soldiers and korean soldiers have their items. They put it in a soup form and thats how they got Budae Jjigae. The Bo Ssam was awesome, the boiled pork belly was different. I never had it cooked before like that and it was amazing. service: The resturant was fairly busy. No complaints here. Ambiance: Place felt modern and mom and pop shop at the same time. Even though this place is a chain. I like this spot and ill def go back here again.

Came here a few times recently to take advantage of their (cough everlasting forever cough) "50% off" deal. (ONLY items marked off are included on the 50% off. Those unmarked is as listed)Came here once soon after work on a Wednesday evening, and once on a Sunday evening. Both had fairly easy time to get a table for us to seat. First time we had a party of 3. Second time we had a party of 5. With their 50% off deal, tofu soup's are $9.99. Entree's like LA Galbi, Beef/Chicken Bulgolgi, and Spicy Pork are around $13.99-$14.99. But if you do a combo, they're around $15.99-$16.99.We're unsure if it was because the server/kitchen messed up my friend's order of a PLAIN (no spice) intestine tofu soup (and gave her one with spice) and gave her a larger one as replacement, or maybe if you don't order the combo, it's slightly larger. But even with the slightly smaller tofu soup you get in the combo, you get a considerable pile of meat (especially if its the spicy pork vs LA galbi). Its a good deal to get the combo if you want to eat that much food (or share)The INTESTINE TOFU SOUP is tasty if you like intestine. Includes beef intestines and tripe. 2nd time, I decided to get the NAE JANG TANG which includes beef intestine and tripe in ox bone broth. Wanted to try something different. Still tasty. Wish they gave more green onions though. Service is good every time we're here. A little mishaps but its ok. They give you a yakult drink at the end for free.

Food was great 9/10 I wished the cheese was melted since they do not torch here. Service could be better. 1/10 Manager Lucy, she was rushing and was very rude. I'd advise to improve by having more staff on Saturday so that the business is able to perform well. I am sure she was not in the best mood because she was on her own that's why I give 1 stars, but I was a little upset because I didn't order a galbi jjim and she instituted that I did but I ordered a army stew instead. Rather than calling a customer wrong, maybe improving and double checking orders with customers. I feel like she was trying to upsell me in other words I didn't appreciate it at all. I just went ahead and bought both galbi jjim and army stew even though I was not that hungry. I just advise to not tell customers there wrong. I've worked in restaurants before and this is just unacceptable. Plz improve. I am still debating if I will come back because I have lost my appetite and taking the food home. If this is how management is run here it's a not a good place for customer service. To add on I saw food runners and they did not seem to like there manager as well. I really don't like leaving negative reviews, but an apology would be appreciated then I would change my rating.

Having lived in Korea their Tofu soups are on point. The intestine tofu soup also had some tripe. Add an egg and enjoy!!! The beat deal is the combo at one of the for entrees for bets value. The beef bulgogi had a good flavor and was quality cut not too fatty. Service was great and staff were friendly and attentive. Overall excellent food and experience.

Good choice. Weren't craving for any specific food. Went in and to my surprise the place was spacious and clean with good ample lighting. We got seated right away and got our order quick. Ordered Budea Jjigae Hotpot (kimchi,spam, sausage, bacon, American cheese,vegetable, ramen wirh egg on the side) if you are not a heavy eater it can actually serve 4 person. They have good amount of meat and ramen on it and spiciness is tolerable. We got the combo: beef tofu soup and the bulgogi for my young child it was a good serving size we are able to share it. I always love master kims bulgogi taste. Our order came with rice and a free milky like drink (see picture) We were so full we had 2 containers for to-go. Will definitely come back to try other flavors.

The restaurant atmosphere is really good. It's a modern newly built restaurant that is very clean. The staff are really really friendly and most importantly the food is amazing. It's so tasty and reasonable!! This is definitely the best Korean restaurant in the world even better than the Korean restaurants in Korea.

My hubby was sick and wanted soup so I thought Pork and Kimchi Soup would warm him up. I ordered it very mild so it wouldn't hurt his throat. Master Kim's takes take out to whole new level. You never need to worry about the soup being spilled out into the bag and dripping onto your floor. I've had that happen so many times with my deliveries. The soup is sealed in a square container like the tofu containers you get with the water in them. You would have to cut the plastic for it to leak. The soup was nice and hot and was mild as I requested. Absolutely delicious. The steamed rice was sealed the same way. We also ordered the LA Galbi which was yummy. The bon chon was also very good and in its own container with four compartments and a tight lid. It shows that they care about their to go customers as much as their eat in ones. Master Kim's is definitely going on our go to list.

Came in the evening a little bit before the prime dinner time and we got seated right away. It got so busy later on! The restaurant is offering a 50% promotion, which is why we came to try out the place. However, we're not sure how long the promotion is going to last. The prices of the menu is slightly higher than normal prices to justify the 50% off promotion. We ended up ordering the following things:Small bossam - 5/5. Was perfect with the right toppings. Galbi tofu soup with LA galbi - 5/5. LA galbi was charcoaled very nicely. Tofu soup was cooked perfectly but the portion was smaller probably due to the tofu soup combo. Galbitang - 5/5. This was cooked perfectly with date. The banchan was alright so I'm giving it a 4 stars. The kimchi wasn't super great but the sweet potatoes and fish cake tasted good. At the end of the meal, they give us Yakult as dessert, which was a nice touch.

4.5 stars given the promo. Without, it rounds out to a 4. I was craving soondubu and I noticed this place 50% off all menu items. Crazy to only be paying $10 for tofu soup!I ordered the beef tofu soup, medium spice. The soup was great. Perfect spice level and lots of quality brisket in there. Which makes sense since they get the meat from the OG KBBQ location in the same plaza. I can't complain at all given the value. If I had something to nitpick, the banchan isn't very impressive. Limited choices and the kimchi lacks that fermented punch I'm looking for Service was quick and good. At this price, this place is pretty great. At double the price, I'm not so sure. There are better options in Chinatown for less than $20 a bowl, so I hope they reconsider the pricing after this promo.

I really enjoyed this place! Don't let "tofu" in the name scare you away, there is a lot more on the menu than tofu. I went with 3 of my friends. We each got our own soup and split the galbi jjim. All of it was excellent - especially now that it's getting chilly! Right now, the menu is 50% off so we all ended up eating for like 25 bucks each. You can't beat that price these days. I will be back to this place! Be sure to give it a shot while their sale is going on!
