Update: This restaurant has unfortunately been closed down. I had plans to eat dinner here with my friends on March 28th and it was closed. Something new is being renovated here.

It's under construction. Went there last Sunday and nothing. Need to update Yelp. Drove there for nothing. Sad because reviews looked good. Oh well.

This food is goooooood. I order the tofu soup and short rib combo. It ends up being pretty pricey, but the short rib is seasoned well, and the tofu soup hits the spot. It's more affordable with other combos. Been here multiple times, I'm sure I'll be back again. Busy restaurant, but never had to wait too long. Casual sit down, there's always a couple tvs playing mukbangs.

Placed a pickup order through yelp / grub hub which went through and charged me... only to show up and see the location is fully closed and under construction

Soft Tofu Soup (mix) and Beef Short Ribs Combo is our favorite! The fried fish cake and fried seaweed roll are also very very good! We tried the fried calamari and sweet potato fries here before too and those were also really delicious! Service here is also good! Will definitely come back!

Excellent Korean food! Love all the included side dishes. The tteokbokki and beef bulgogi was delicious.

We had Japchae Bibimbap Tofu soup Plan ahead if you're visiting this complex because it's one of the busiest on Convoy and it takes time to find parking. The warm soup and sizzling bibimbap were so comforting especially on a rainy day. Their dishes remain really hot even as you're closer to the end of your meal. The japchae could use more sesame oil flavor and the tofu soup could use more anchovy and kelp stock base. They have a variety of banchan with your meal and they refill it quickly.

tteobokki was great, it tastes a lot like buldak ramen sauce but not as spicy if mild. tofu soup also had lots of ingredients inside. best side dish was the fishcakes and the cucumbers for sure! inside is very big so was very nice and calm with a pretty ample parking lot for convoy. would come back again just to try the tteobokki again

DO NOT BOTHER. Do yourself a favor and go down the street to any of the other half dozen korean tofu houses.Slow 2 pm on a Sunday, trying to grab a quick lunch and was craving tofu soup. Came in, made eye contact with the single server in the whole restaurant and signaled "table for 1", zero acknowledgement or response. Waited while he typed at the PoS and watched the two kitchen workers chatted on their phones behind the front desk on their break. Tried again, this time the waiter said to put my name down on the waitlist, a waitlist of 1 with no one else around waiting at all.Stood in the doorway waiting for 10 mins, watched the waiter move around with the speed of a sloth and the attitude of zero care or compassion, I get it, server jobs suck, but this guy had the most amazing disinterested face ever and moved as if he was paid by the second, not the hour. Counted 6 uncleared tables with no signs of being cleared anytime soon, 3 seated tables with zero food served, and patrons looking around as if puzzled as to why their food wasn't there yet.10 mins of standing like an idiot at the doorway still waiting to be seated or acknowledged later, another 2 people come up to wait behind me. Turned around, advised them to leave as well, and just went down the street to another tofu house. Absolute waste of time.

Came here for brunch. We were seated with the menu. Waitress immediately brought out dishes, utensils, the sides and water for us. We went with the spicy kimchi pork stew for me and mild kimchi pork stew for my BFF. We also ordered Sinjeon mild topokki, deep fried dumpling, deep fried glass noodle and deep fried fish cake. Spicy & mild kimchi pork stew is a 9 out of 10! Very authentic taste, it came out piping hot and raw eggs on the side if you want to add to your stew. Great amount of tofu and vegetables, the pork portion is a hit or miss, sometimes they put a lot and other times just an okay amount. This is my go to dish whenever I order from here. Great hang over cure too lol. Mild Sinjeon topokki is a 9 out of 10! Very delicious, great rice cake texture, delicious sauce flavor. I had their spicy Sinjeon Topokki and it is very spicy with a curry taste to it. It's different from the regular topokki and very good. Small portion but worth it. We ordered some deep fried dumplings, glass noodle and fish on the side. The glass noodle was very tasty, it was filled with glass noodles and bits of meat, deep fried to perfection. Dumplings were deep fried, it had noodles inside of it, I did not see any meat or bits of vegetables. They were just okay. Now for the deep fried fish, it took a while to come out and we had to get our waitress attention a few times for it. By the time it came out, we were basically done eating and the fried fish was dry. It was a 2 out of 10. The service for a Saturday was just all-right, we had to get our waitress attention several times and ask for stuff. Other than that, when I order to go, it's always superb service and they don't forget stuff. Plenty of tables and seats, decent size restaurant. They have a restroom for customers. Limited parking, it is shared with other businesses. Overall: 4 out of 5 for food! Dining in service 3 out of 5 Take out service 5 out of 5

Food was super delish. Had tofu soup with kimchi and bulgogi and spare ribs. The bonchon was super flavorful as well. Ribs were marinated well, grilled, and super tender. Can’t wait to go back and eat more of the

Hot stone pot bibimbap with vegetables was fantastic!!! This was my second time visiting here to get this food and It didn't disappoint me.

On Dec 29, 2023, my family went for dinner. Restaurant server requested last order needed to be made by 9:15pm as restaurant closes at 10pm. We were being rushed on the order, eating and leaving. Restaurant refused to refill our small dishes and no hot tea were offered (they said it's all out) as it's getting close to their closing time. Around 9:45pm, server tried to turn off lights to signal us to leave. With almost no service given, our party of nine was being imposed on 22% service charge without any choice. It's not recommended but charged without an option.

Food: Bibimbap Hot Stone Bowl with Beef - 5/5 The hot stone bowl with beef bibimbap was excellent - very good, hot, and crispy. There are 4 sides offered and were just okay but not amazing. Service: The service was nice, not too personal but satisfactory. No issues were encountered, and it contributed to a pleasant dining experience. Ambiance: The restaurant is busy but not overly crowded, maintaining a comfortable atmosphere. The size is on the smaller side, but it adds to the cozy ambiance during busy hours. Parking: During busier hours around this center, parking can be challenging. It's something to consider, especially if you plan to visit during peak times.
