YD Tofu House

Decent korean restaurant with a very wide variety of side dishes. Galbi-jjim was meaty and came with 6 large pieces of ribs with bones attached. The bulgogi was good, but the meat is a tiny bit on the dry side. The entire meal was filling, and worth the price!Service can be slow though. They're quite a busy restaurant but is clearly understaffed.

This location is very clean. Immediately upon stepping inside; it is clear that they take great pride on first impressions. Everything was spotless, despite it being the middle of the dinner rush!We were greeted immediately and the staff was attentive without being overbearing. The food was incredible. My partner had the dolsot bibimbap and I had the soondubu. Ample portions and high quality ingredients. Very plentiful banchan and all of impeccable quality. Every time a main course passed us on the way to a nearby table, I was amazed by the consistent quality of presentation of every single dish. I don't think there's a single "miss" on this menu. Order something you like, and you're likely to enjoy it here as well. I will 100% be back.Now I just need to teach my partner how to say "음식이 맛있었어요!" prior to our next visit!

YD Tofu House is like that dependable friend you call when you need comfort and good vibes--except this friend serves you steaming bowls of tofu soup and crispy seafood pancakes. Let me tell you, their seafood pancake is chef's kiss. Golden, crispy, and stuffed with just the right amount of seafood to make you believe in love again. It's so good, I'm convinced Poseidon himself would approve. Now, let's talk about the C1. Spicy Chicken. It's spicy enough to make you question your life choices but not so fiery that you regret them--basically the perfect level of heat. And the Bossam? Tender, flavorful, and the perfect balance of richness and freshness when wrapped with veggies and dipped in their sauces. It's like a little Korean hug in every bite. The tofu soups here are a bit of a mixed bag--some days, they hit harder than an unexpected plot twist in a K-drama; other days, they're just okay. But their bibimbap is solid--crispy rice, fresh veggies, and that glorious dollop of gochujang. And if you're lucky enough to visit during summer, do yourself a favor and slurp up their cold noodles. They're like a refreshing breeze on a 100°F day.YD's staff? Absolute gems. Accommodating, friendly, and quick to refill your water when the spice kicks in. And the banchan? While maybe not the best in Sacramento, they're definitely solid--kimchi, pickled radish, and those addictive little potato bites that always leave you wanting more. In a city with its fair share of Korean spots, YD Tofu House might not be the fanciest or flashiest, but it's the one I keep coming back to. Solid food, warm vibes, and a seafood pancake that could rival your grandma's cooking (sorry, grandma). If you're in Sacramento and craving some Korean goodness, this spot deserves a visit.

About a week ago, I came here for my birthday.The staff was friendly. I loved the fact that they serve a large variety of banchans, which is the most I've ever had! There were a total of 18 different kinds of banchan/side dishes including spicy marinaded baby crabs which were one of my favourites. We ordered the seafood pancake (make sure to request for it to be extra crispy!), which was delicious! The galbi was super tender but we felt it needed a bit more seasoning. We also got soft tofu stew with seafood and beef, which was great!Overall, we would definitely come back again to try some of the other dishes. They've got quite an extensive menu so there's a bit of something for everyone.

I don't enjoy most korean food, but I enjoy visiting YD Tofu House.I loved their "pizza bibimbap", which is far from traditional but is very tasty to me. The banchan are tasty as well - I particularly like the japchae. The tofu soups are also done well.The servers are always kind and hilarious and the interior is very spacious and clean.

YD Tofu House is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the Sacramento area. Although I've been to this location many years ago, I recently dined here a couple days ago. From the outside, it appeared dark and empty, however, once we went inside, the restaurant was bright and eventually filled with people. The best part thing about YD Tofu House is the abundant ban chan they provide! It was a nice variety, but I especially liked the japchae, kimchi, broccoli, spinach, and a few other dishes. We ordered the seafood pancake, tofu soup, and bulgogi. The seafood pancake ($19.99) was huge and delicious! It was so good, especially with the dipping sauce w/ jalapeños they provided. The bulgogi ($28.99) came out sizzling and smelling amazing. The meat was somewhat fatty, but full of flavor. The beef and seafood tofu soup ($18.99) was delicious and comforting during colder weather. The staff and servers were really nice and provided good service. The food was really good and overall a good experience!

Went with a group of 5 and got 5 items to share with some leftovers:bulgogi: pretty solid, flavor is good and the texture of the meat is not too chewykimchi pancake: could be a bit crispier but overall tasty soon tofu: I didn't think it was that great but it was my husband's favoritekimchi fried rice: was okay, nothing special fried chicken: had the sauce on the side and it wasn't great. Wondering if it would've been better if we had the chicken cooked in the sauce.Things that stood out were the amount of side dishes that they give. Lots of variety and pretty good overall. For the specific dishes, I would say they were all decent and would satisfy a craving for Korean food.

A decent place to get your Korean fix. I think they can work on the consistency of the taste/quality of their dishes. My favorite part is all the side dishes they give you! The place is a good size and suitable for larger parties. Don't expect much in terms of customer service though (although I've been informed that this is normal for Korean culture).

This restaurant deserves 5 stars! YD is one of the best non AYCE Korean restaurants in Sacramento. I had the kimchi soonduboo and it was very flavorful. It was the perfect amount of spice. The raw egg that we can put into the soup was a good addition. The included banchan is amazing!!!! The banchan is the best part of the food there. There is always so many options! The Tteok-bokki was okay 6/10. It was too sweet.The server was super nice.

I came here for a late lunch with coworkers around 1:00 PM on Christmas Eve and luckily it was not that busy despite it being the holidays. We got seated quickly and our order was taken after we were given a decent amount of time to decide what we want. One thing I love about YD is how many side dishes they give and how tasty it is. My favorite side dishes are the japchae, fish cake, sweet potato, and the baby crabs because it is so flavorful and crunchy. They also gave us some warm radish soup on the side and I thought it was good, but my friend said they did not like it because it did not have much flavor and tasted like chicken water to her. Since they said Christmas Eve is a holiday, there was sadly no lunch deal for the meats. My friend still ordered the spicy pork bulgogi because that is her favorite. She also got lettuce, garlic, and jalapeño on the side which is an extra 5 dollar charge. We also got a seafood pancake and a beef bibimbap. We were looking forward to trying their kalguksu, but unfortunately they said they sold out the day before since it was so busy at night. The food came out pretty fast and it was delicious. They give a good amount of meat, and the seafood pancake was so yummy with the jalapeño soy sauce made for it. However, it seems like they used a lot of oil to pan fry it because there was a little pool of oil at the bottom. The bibimbap was good but it needed more sauce and a worker took away the gochujang sauce bottle right away after we set it down because thought we were done with it. Service was good, but it can be a little challenging to communicate and understand the employees at times because English is not their primarily language. Overall, this is a great Korean restaurant to eat with friends and family, but it can be pricey. Having more people would be a good way to split the costs and pay less per person. The store is clean and decorated nicely. I like this location way more than the other one on Freeport because the food at here is more consistent in quality and tastes better. Also, the parking here is slightly better because it has a few more spots in their own small dedicated parking lot.
