LA Tofu House

Super comfortable dining alone.Great Soon Tofu! Great hours or eating all day long!LA tofu house!

LA Tofu House is so good! Been coming here for almost a couple years now and honestly it's one of the better places for soon tofu. Move over BCD with your high price and small portions! My go to here is the LA Galbi combo with beef soon tofu. And for $30 they give you so much Galbi, compared to other places that probably only gives you 3 slabs, LA tofu house gives a BIG portion. The service is here is amazing for only 1 lady running the restaurant. She is super kind and works hard to make sure every table gets what they ask for, and on top of that makes sure the uber eats orders are pumping on time. I heard it while eating how many orders were coming in and how much she juggles those orders and the dine in patronsI came here with my 9 month old and when I asked for a little side tofu and rice, she brought me a whole bowl of plain soon tofu on the house! Such amazing service and care. Will definitely continue to support this business!

It was an uber eats kind of night... ordered beef soon tofu medium and the galbi special...It came with four banchan each, a fish, and rice...my boyf was pleasantly surprised by the galbi soup- he couldn't believe Korean because so different and yummy! Banchan included spicy cucumbers, kimchi, rice cakes and macaroni.The soon beef was plentiful and had delicious dumplings.... Loved every bite!

Beef bulgogi is broken. Do not get. Soondubu is where it's at.You come here when everywhere else is closed but don't want Sun Nong Dan or the loudness of drunk kids at BCD. The tofu soups are always good here, I do like how it's not overly salty and really easy to eat with the rice, like how it's supposed to. It doesn't blow your mind but will definitely take your mind off a long day (or night). I like the assorted (S2) here. The beef bulgogi the light I ate (Dec 2024) is definitely the wrong cut of meat. They used some lean thick-cut beef that was not tender instead of thin ribeye or sirloin. They didn't grill/saute it enough to get any good caramelization or 'grilled' taste. I'll say it plainly, it sucked. I don't know whether they got cheap or ran out of the right beef for this, but this will make Koreans cringe if they're willing to call this beef bulgogi. The pork bulgogi looks way more appetizing.The sides are all good. The standout: - Kimchi has a nice fermented action to keep you entertained. - Radish with small fish has a nice fermented salty taste different from typical LA Korean banchans.- Fermented squid, albeit salty, has a nice texture that keeps you going for more.- Thinly sliced radish was way more refreshing than expected, almost had a pear sweetness to it.- Bean sprouts are getting rarer as a banchan at popular chains, so it's nice to get some hereI like how they have bibim nawnmyeon and milmyeon as an option if you don't want a hot tofu soup in your combo but an icy cold noodle. Most soondubu places don't do this.The lady serving us late night patron is really jolly and serves with a smile. She holds the place together with that charm and spirit. Please be nice and patient with her serving the whole restaurant, she may even crack a joke with you.

Impressed with how efficient waitstaff work here, they really work hard! There was one lady taking orders, serving and fulfilling togo orders as well. Just amazing to watch her work, they do deserve the tips they get. Tofu is OK, I feel like for house made tofu there should be a smoother texture but it was broken up in pieces before I even digged in. Flavor of the soup was great and medium was not spicy at all to me. Comes boiling hot perfect to cook the raw egg they give.I was hungry so went with the roast squid combo, surprised at the pile of food they give you it's like at least 50 to 100% more than what you would get at other tofu places for a combo. My friend got the chicken teriyaki combo and it was the same thing! Almost double the amount of meat in a huge pile, totally worth it... as you get full from the tofu soup and banchan and you can take the extra food to go for another meal. Banchan selection the most I have seen, service does it's best to refill as you finish dishes. I also took the leftovers home to eat with the squid I had and had a whole another meal. Service is a bit slower than you would expect as you're hungry and waiting but they are doing the best they can with the limited staff they have. Parking in plaza lot, typical Koreatown parking so bring some cash (just a couple dollars) for valet.

Incredible food! Friendly staff! Came here after getting my tattoo and you know banchan is the tell tale of a good spot! Did not disappoint! Kalbi great flavors! Would get again. If i am ever back in the area I will be back!

We were in the area after WII spa, and decided to give this restaurant a try. The prices are good and the food was as good as it gets. Service was great but there were many people that night being Jan 1st, food came a little slower but that is very understandable. Would be back again when we are in the area for sure. Give this a try everyone.

go somewhere else! food is horrible. nothing but msg in their soup! plenty of other soon tofu joints in ktown

I've ordered from LA Tofu many times from food delivery apps, but I finally had a chance to dine here in person. They offer different "combos" you would expect to find at a soon tofu place. It kind of reminds me of BCD. I ordered the bulgogi combo, and the original soon tofu beef was pretty good, but the bulgogi was just ok and nothing to rave about...just a little too sweet and a bit coarse. The service was pretty friendly, quick, and attentive. A great thing about LA Tofu is that they also offer a larger variety of other Korean soups and dishes than you would expect to find at a soon tofu place. They're also open late. It never hurts to have another soon tofu option, and I'm sure I'll find myself back here.

Great restaurant that's open later than pochas! I would skip anything seafood related as the shrimps are not very good and ruined my sundobu for me but the kimchi and soup is good tasty standard soup!
