The Stone Korean Tofu House

I've been to California's popular BDC Tofu. This place is just as good or even better. The tofu might be better at BDC, but for the price and quality that you get here makes it a fantastic place to get Korean tofu soup. At an insanely better price than BDC! Great service too!

Staff was kind & food came out relatively quickly. Came for a weekday lunch. Wasn't the best Korean food I've ever had, but I wonder if that's just the nature of sundubu here.Seafood soft tofu soup - Comes so hot it's boiling, but once it cools you'll taste it's not very special. Tofu is crumbling away and shrimp used has been in soup so long that it's tougher than I'd like. Comes with nutritional purple rice cooked in a small pressure cooker that had great texture.Banchan was disappointing. I like a fermented kimchi, but just a little bit of fresh kimchi was provided. We also had a fish paste(?), cucumber salad, fish cake, and some other pickled veggies. Overall food was okay. Probably won't be back.

Honestly, the food was amazing, and the quality was exceptional! I absolutely loved the vibe and the restaurant setup :) Tonight, I was really craving intestines, and I must say, I LOVED THE FLAVOR AND TEXTURE. We also ordered tofu soup, roasted intestines, spicy intestines, and a purple sticky rice dish. All of these dishes are easily 10/10. My compliments to the chef.However, I have to rate it 4/5 because of the host/server who had a name beginning with an R. When we arrived at 8:55, she initially said, "We are closed," but then changed her mind with a roll of her eyes. Normally, I could overlook this since I understand people get tired, but she continued to complain the whole time we were there. At 9:25, she loudly and aggressively said on the phone, "Yeah, I'm going to turn off the AC to get these people going," even though we still had 30 minutes before closing. She kept yelling across the restaurant to her coworker, making our experience even more awkward. We asked our kind server to turn on the AC as we started sweating, and R grudgingly did so, saying, "I'm only turning it on because she asked."I want to emphasize that despite R, the food was amazing, and the other server, who wasn't the server with the R name, was fantastic. I really enjoy the environment here; it was just that one server. In the future, I hope R realizes that some of us work late/ graveyard shifts and come to restaurants to spend time together. It's nice to find a place open later than having to resort to fast food. I try to sympathize because everyone has off days, but please don't take annoyance and anger out on customers.Despite the service hiccup, my group left by 9:55 and thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic food. I'll definitely be back :) This place is definitely worth visiting!

Ambiance is very nice inside. The outside doesn't make it look like it but an old dennys but inside is very nice and clean. Service was good. We were sat immediately and a few minutes to wait before we got to place order. Staff were friendly and helpful Food was great! Everything came out steaming and boiling. If this place wasn't so far from where we live, we would come back more often!

Was on my own for dinner (solitude=I can eat whatever I want and as much as I want) and picked tofu soup since I had a craving. This place had great reviews so naturally I had to check it out.I ordered a combo with galbi...and also noticed they charged for side dish refill. Highlights:- Side dishes are NOT worth paying to refill. I tried all of the dishes and they were all lackluster.- The galbi was not grilled over a flame...just...no...- Tofu soup was missing some oomph flavor.- The rice to soup and galbi proportion was off.I'm trying to consider the fact that it's AZ and the Asian food is just not at a high level yet - but COME ON, FREAKING HMART IS ACROSS THE STREET! HMart is like the holy Grail of Korean supermarkets in the US, there's no excuse to not get the ingredients or tools you need to get the right flavor profile.This place actually made me thankful for BCD - a chain which I usually consider as my last resort go-to.

Let me just say that I love Korean purple rice so you know that this place started off strong. They had such interesting rice steamer pots imported from Korean. The meats were so flavorful and tender, I wished it had more of a char and smoky flavor. The soups were so warm and hearty. The soups had zucchini in it, always nice to be healthy and have some veggies. The workers are so nice and the service was so welcoming and fast. I'm craving this as I'm writing the review omg

Review for Stone Tofu House - Mesa.I recently had the pleasure of dining at Stone Tofu House, located at 1870 W Main St, Mesa, AZ 85202, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home.I decided to try their Seafood Tofu Soup, and it exceeded all my expectations. The soup was perfectly spicy, with a rich and flavorful broth that was both comforting and invigorating. The seafood was tasty, and the soft tofu was silky and delicious. The portion size was generous, more than I could finish in one sitting, making it a great value for the price.Accompanying the soup was a side of rice and a variety of banchan (side dishes), which were all tasty and complemented the meal perfectly. The highlight for me was the homemade kimchi - it was simply outstanding. The perfect balance of spice and tanginess, it added an extra layer of flavor to every bite.The service at Stone Tofu House was also top-notch. The staff were attentive and friendly, always ensuring that I had everything I needed and that I was enjoying my meal. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the dining experience even more enjoyable.In conclusion, I highly recommend Stone Tofu House to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Korean dining experience in Mesa, Arizona. The food is fantastic, the portions are generous, and the service is impeccable. I will definitely be returning to savor more of their delightful dishes. Follow me for more Yelp reviews. Jordan

The food is really good and especially their black rice that's pressure cooked. There was only two server at the time when we visited so it took sometime to get the food, but it was worth the wait!

Rain or shine, I'm ordering soft tofu soup. Even in 80° weather! I wish I could eat fry bread tacos everyday. But for our last dinner in Arizona, we made the mature decision to pick something "healthier". This restaurant was conveniently located in a plaza across from the H Mart I just visited. They're in own little corner building in a large plaza, so parking is very plentiful. I saw some umbrellas and tables on their outdoor patio, but it wasn't in use. There's a good amount of seating inside; most had partitions for a bit of privacy. It wasn't crowded on a Sunday night, but they were understaffed. It took a while for someone to come over and lead us to our table. No paper menus here, pull out your phone and scan the QR code on the wall: https://thestonetofuaz.netlify.app/qr/Side dishes (banchan AKA 반찬) were average, you get one plate for free and it comes with six different options. Refills are $3.00; I understand they have a business to run, but thought it was important to point out because Korean restaurants traditionally don't charge for more sides. They say each plate serves up to three people, but it felt like the portions were better suited for two. Beef Soft Tofu Soup (sogogi soondubu AKA 소고기 순두부) came with lots of soup... not so much beef or tofu. The pieces of meat were tough to chew. No complaints on the tofu consistency, it was soft as expected. The soup came with assorted vegetables like onions and zucchini. Spice level was tolerable and the purple rice was fine. Overall not bad, 3.5 stars taste-wise. Rounded down for cutting corners.

TASTEY TASTEY!!! The restaurant is clean, friendly, & inviting. Great air circulation. Kept us cool from the heat while keep the air fresh so you don't feel like your in a hot pot. The menu is simple, but the flavors are complex & so satisfying. Sweet, tangy, crisp, & fresh. Cold noddle soup where have you been all my life! My fab dish for sure. My daughter & I split the salad & combo (bulgogi & cold noddle soup) and walk away full and with happy tastebuds! Five stars for good prices, friendly service, nice atmosphere, & delicious flavors!!
