Kong Tofu & BBQ

They sat us as soon as they could. The tables were turned over at 12:30 noon as soon as they could. Couples and groups of two or three. It was not completely full. Banchan was fresh and a good portion. We had the pork tofu soup and purple rice. No complaints. They came by and looked at us at least once. No refills offered to any of the tables for banchan so less one star. Even if I don't need a refill, it would be nice if they asked if we needed anything.

My friends and I were shopping in the area and decided to grab some Korean food for dinner. The servers were super friendly and welcoming. I got the spicy beef and veggie soup with udon noodle and while it was good, it didn't exactly hit the spot for me. The soup was the perfect level of spicy, but other than the spice, it wasn't very flavorful. I knew there would be a good amount of vegetables in this dish (since it's in the name) but I didn't expect there to be so few udon noodles. The soup was mainly bean sprouts and other vegetables. There was also egg in the soup which was a delicious addition. My friend got the eel bibimbap, which I liked more than my dish! The eel was nicely cooked and the sizzling stone bowl made the rice have some yummy crunchy bits. We did have to add quite a lot of the bibimbap sauce for flavor though. The side dishes were all tasty and paired well with our main dishes. This restaurant is a convenient place to grab a hearty dinner if you're in the area. Although the soup I got didn't particularly hit the spot, I'm open to coming back again to try their other dishes, such as the tofu soup or their naengmyeon.

Was a solid 8.5/10Now a 6.5/10This use to be a staple for me and my friends. Who doesn't love a good korean tofu soup on a cold day and sharing banchan with friends?Unfortunately the quality has downgraded since over 8 years ago. I used to think the the server/owner? of the place was very funny. He used to push me to get the purple rice (which was extra) and push my friends to order the seafood pancake which is delicious (and gave us a discount). I always felt pretty homey eating at this location.However, the food quality has definitely downgraded since then. They no longer provide an egg for the tofu soup (my favorite part!) due to the recent bird flu. The last time I went, the banchan was pretty bland, and the soup was too salty that I packed it to go. Overall, it was such a disappointing experience. Not to mention, this was during a special occasion.I don't think I'll be coming back often anymore. The 4/5 stars is for the nostalgia.

Really enjoy eating here for the friendly service and excellent side dishes.The tofu soup was above average, very satisfying on a cold day with the right amount of spiciness, plenty of tofu, and a small portion of beef. The seafood pancake was decent, nothing special.Restaurant was full but still relatively quiet inside, makes for a nice meal with friends or family. Will recommend this place to anyone looking for a reasonably priced Korean meal with plenty of menu options (but a focus on tofu soup and barbeque) and delicious sides.

Oh my gosh the family who owns this restaurant are the cutest ever. They were so attentive and sweet and I'd come back just for them tbh ;-; The food being delicious was just a plus - the short rib was sooo tender and flavorful and the tofu soups were solid. They gave plenty of side dishes and the vibe inside is very cozy and welcoming.

Solid place for Korean food. We ordered the assorted (mild) and beef tofu soup (medium), seafood pancake, beef short rib, and bulgogi. The tofu soup is always good here and the medium is not too spicy. The seafood pancake is crunchy and comes in medium or large. They give a good amount of meat as well and it's well marinated (lunch and dinner prices). There's a lot of tables and it's usually not too crowded so the wait isn't too long. There's chairs in the front for a waiting area. They also take same day reservations (have to call). The workers are super nice and like to joke around. They're also very attentive and the food / service is quick. At the end they also give free rice crackers.

The seafood pancake is okay. A little greasy. Tofu soup is good as always especially during winter. It comes with a lot of ban chan. The owner is really friendly. The vibes/decor are giving authentic korean.

We came here on a weeknight and the food was fine, but we felt like the service could have been better. It took awhile for someone to take the order. We ordered the original bibimbap and seafood tofu soup, and we thought the food was just okay. The bibimbap had the option of white or purple rice. I opted for purple rice and thought it had a good flavor too it, with the right chewiness and thicker texture as well. The seafood tofu soup was a little bit on the smaller side, and there could have been more flavor to it. We had tried getting attention from staff to refill our kimchi and fish cakes, but that was really difficult. Someone told us a staff member failed to show, but we think that there should be more than one person in the front anyways given that the restaurant was pretty full and there were plenty of to-go orders as well. Overall, I'm not sure we would be in a rush to come back, but the food is pretty decent here, even though they can work on their service here.

I go here a lot and my review hasn't changed. I like this place because of the side dishes they have. It's such a good variety of dishes and I liked all of them. My boyfriend said a few of them weren't that good but I think he is wrong. I got the beef soup this time and it was very hearty and yummy.

The environment here is clean and tidy. The service staff respond quickly, and the food is cooked to perfection, completely exceeding expectations.
