Tofu Story 두부 이야기

First time to Tofu Story and we were not disappointed! Their tofu is very good - slightly firmer and nutty flavor compared to other soft tofu places. We tried beef, pork, and seafood and each broth was rich, distinctively different, and very tasty. We shared the kalbi, and it was also very good. Tasty and melt in your mouth soft. Highly recommend!

Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the overall quality of the dishes was satisfying. However, the portion size is on the smaller side and the prices feel a bit high for what you get.

Dol-sot Bibimbob is absolutely fantastic. Stone pot was heated hot enough to get the rice crispy at the bottom without burning and ingredients proportionately balanced which is very satisfying for my wife, and the Polk-tofu was so delicious it makes me keep taking spoon after spoon. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area.

Food is solid. Bonchon is just ok. The tofu is a good touch. Other places have better bonchon. Service tho, waitstaff is nice, is really slow. Very disorganized and understaffed. The wait for it is really bad. Expect a 40 min wait for food almost. The soup and galbi and seafood pancake are worth getting.

Solid new Korean tofu spot in Allston. Dropped by a couple times for lunch. Most Korean restaurants in Allston still lean old-school, and for years, Kaju Tofu across the street basically had a monopoly on soft tofu stews. So it was refreshing to see a slightly more modern, refined spot pop up in the neighborhood. Not that the menu takes any wild creative swings, but small touches—like offering sotbop (cauldron-cooked rice) and trendy entrées like cheese ribs—gave it a different energy. The banchan here are complimentary (no longer a given), though fairly basic. Still, the little sample of fresh, house-made tofu they serve with every meal was a thoughtful touch. As much as they specialize in soft tofu, my favorite so far was actually the BBQ ribs—classic lateral cut, tender, with a nice char. The side of raw green onions added a sharp freshness that paired well with the meat. Other dishes were solid too. The stone bowl bibimbap was satisfying. Could’ve used more crispy bits at the bottom, but still a comforting bowl. The Ham & Sausage Soon tofu had decent broth, but the highlight was again the soft tofu itself. The sotbop upgrade was fun (though $5 feels a little steep), and I wish they had served it in a stone pot instead of a stainless steel bowl to really get that crispy rice crust. It’s not miles ahead of the competition yet, but still a nice addition and definitely worth checking out.

Big and clean restaurant. Great tofu and side dishes. Tons of seating for a big party and they were very accommodating.

Went there with a friend, very clean interior, it was new. The mixed tofu soup was very good, had both red meat and seafood, as well as soft tofu. The rice freshly cooked in the small ga-ma-sot was so cute and tasty. The BBQ meat was burned, and we only realized it after we started eating and flipping the pieces. We ended up calling the waiter because it was so bad. We only asked to replace pieces we hadn't eaten to be fair, but they replaced it with a whole new plate (we only had eaten a few pieces anyway). At least they responded very gracefully. There were only two waiters that day so thing were overall bit slow. But they were both polite and helpful. The price is not cheap but the soft tofu soup itself was good.
