Korean Kitchen Tofu & Galbi

Came by here after grocery shopping at Ranch 99. Yes we are that couple that shop for food only to dine out for the day. Not ashamed to say that out loud because we are always too tired & lazy to cook after we get home LOL! This was our first time here. It's pretty quiet, quaint, dim hole in a wall spot. There were two waitresses and one bus boy who killed it! Amazing customer service. Filled our cups and banchan without us even asking. Love the pickled radish/carrots, cucumber and cabbage kimchi. Also love the fish cakes. For our entrees, we ordered fried tofu and Kimchi Pajun. Both served with soy sauce vinaigrette. For my main entree, I had Galbi Bento Box. It came with 3 Chicken & Veggie Dumplings, Japchae, white rice, orange slices and side salad. Tim had Pork Belly Kimchi Jjim. We enjoyed our lunch with Strawberry Good Day Soju.

Came here for lunch after flying back home from a trip. Ordered the lunch combo bibimbap with bulgogi and assorted tofu soup and a side of seafood panjun.Out of those three things I would say I enjoyed the soup the most. It had a nice umami flavor and overall really tasty with lots of ingredients, but the stone pot it came in wasn't hot so it seemed like the soup was just placed in and brought out. The bibimbap was also good with the right flavors, but I was a little disappointed that the stone pot it came in again wasn't hot as it's usually supposed to be from all my other experiences. It just seemed like the ingredients were placed in the stone pot and it was brought out, evidence being when I touched the stone pot it wasn't hot, so I didn't get any crispy rice at the bottom when I was eating the bibimbap. The seafood panjun was my least favorite. I did like that it was so crispy, but flavor wise it was just okay and it was pretty doughy and not much veggies or seafood. Now for the service I went around 1:30pm and when I first arrived there was another table seated and when I was leaving there was about 4 other tables filled. There were two ladies serving and I saw they were helping other tables so I understand if it gets busy. When I was ordering I was told by the waitress the seafood punjun would take about 15min longer to come out then the other foods and I was totally fine with that and appreciated her telling me that in advance. However, when trying to pay it took a while for the waitress to get back to me, and I saw she was standing at the counter with her phone so I decided to just walk up and pay at the counter.Overall the food was pretty okay and service wasn't bad so I would go again if I'm ever having a craving as it is close in the neighborhood!

I've been going to this place so many time because the food is amazing. They serve you a a lot of different kind of side dish as soon as they sit you. A lot of dish to choose from and I'll say they are all delicious. Most of the foods are served on a hot plate. I will give the food a 5 stars. The only thing that holds me back is most of the time the service is slow as they only have a few staff. The place is on an average rate as it is located on a plaza but plenty of parking. Will I comeback? Yes, Do I recommend this place ? Yes

Great food selection and our favorite place to have Soon Tofu soup and Seafood Ramen. We also come back because of the great service as well. Our Server, Adrienne is the best!! Thank you!!

The good was good I been here many times but the service was bad !!!! My server never came and asked me how my food was or any of the times she had !!!! And the other lady with glasses was cleaning tables and touching food with the same gloves she did not change her gloves. Or wash her hands 5-13-24 left at 745 pm great food but not great with check backs with how is your food can I get you anything else etc I still left a tip but she needs to do better .

Finally made my way to dine in, just like my initial review I was beyond impressed with this place. Everything tasted amazing and it surpassed the flavor from my first order. Service was amazing and our waitress was beyond friendly. They had K-pop playing in the background and it definitely added to the experience. The portions are on the larger side and we definitely ordered more than enough food for two people. We ended up paying around $70 which surprised us. We have become obsessed with this place and have already been back a few times.

I've come here so many times, and I have never been disappointed! I usually get the Kalbi and the Woogoji Galbi Tang! The food is fantastic and the servers are always so kind! I LOVE the layout of the restaurant too!

Big parking lot, cute clean open space inside with tables and booths that are divided conveniently to give you a sense of privacy and peace while you enjoy their wonderful food. No TV or loud noise distractions. I rate this establishment in excellence because they met every detail with quality. From clean, organization, service, attitude and energy, choices available, and taste. Across the line it was a 5 star experience. Food was fresh in taste Water vase brought out and left on the table is genious as well as having utensils carefully placed in a box on the table and available for us to use. Really big menu but server was so patient and helpful in explaining differences and helping us make the best choices. Definitely will be coming back for more great experiences and memories!

The food is great, the flavor of the bulgogi bbq is well balanced. I wanted to try their Bossam, there was not enough pork slices, they added raw oysters but it wasn't a great match for the kimchi with bossam. The bento box is always a good variety to have, it has japchae, rice and dumplings too. The price has gone up and they added 18% service charge for 5 people and up. The service is fast and friendly. The ambiance is bright and clean.

Finally decided to visit this place with my boyfriend not too long ago. We always ended up going all the way to Convoy for good korean food, but its so nice knowing theres a good restaurant here in Chula Vista. The ambiance overall feels very authentic. The servers are so nice! My boyfriend converses with them in korean and says they're very friendly :-)Our favorite thing to get here is the Gobchang Gui! We like how all the pieces are a little different from each other (like different cuts). There isn't a lot of "gob" in them (the paté-like filling), which some may mind. This is a regular order for us every time.
