My Tofu House

A go-to spot for serious Korean comfort food in SF. The soondubu is deeply savory with a clean, well-balanced broth and silky tofu that melts in your mouth. Banchan are thoughtfully prepared and always fresh, not an afterthought. Everything arrives bubbling hot and perfectly seasoned. Consistently satisfying and worth coming back for again and again.

This place has a special place in my heart. Just classic soon tofu and what I like most is that they do the nunungi, not sure how to spell that. But it’s a good spot. It feels like home if that makes sense. I’m definitely bias because I’ve been coming here for all my life but I just love this place. It definitely is not the best Korean food or the best soon tofu or anything spectacular but you know what you’re going to get and I like what I am going to get. My Beli gave it a 7.5, I think it’s more like a 8.5 because I’d prefer this place over so many others even if they are more expensive or fancy. This is definitely an experience and nostalgic place for me.

When I need a comforting meal, I come here. Delicious banchan, rice made fresh in a stonepot and they even make you nurungji at the end of the meal 😍 The Oi Muchim and fried fish banchan are my fav. The stews come out boiling hot with the most amazing silken tofu. Bibimbap loaded with healthy veg, BBQ plates steaming with piles of juicy marinated meats, and thick crispy pancakes stuffed with goodies.

The staff were exceptional! But the food was pretty bland/not exceptional, which is really disappointing! I really wanted to like this place, having heard great things about it and loving soondubu. But the food was really bland. (Honestly have had much, much better at other places) I ordered the combination soondubu (beef+seafood) at medium spiciness. It wasn't spicy at all and the stew had no flavor other than the clams from the seafood. The same applies to the banchan: also pretty bland. The portions were generous though, and the service was great! I'd be willing to come again to support the staff, but I wouldn't get the soondubu.

Vegan tofu soup options, vegan option for the vegetable pancake (no egg), and bibimbap. All delicious! Although the broth needs more flavor and seasoning if they can replace the fish sauce / meat seasoning. Friendly service, but very busy and a bit slower during dinner hours. We came around 7 and got in without a wait but quickly had a line between 7:30-8:30pm

Solid place for Korean food. Everything we ordered tasted great with a great portion. Galbi is particularly tender and juicy. Of course, the tofu soup is the staple here that you shouldn't miss. Still the steal of the show is the banchan, especially the fish cakes! It is warm, thick, and flavorful! Another thing I like here is the hospitality of the hosts here. They are attentive and helpful. This is definitely one of the authentic Korean restaurants I am willing to come back in SF.

Very underwhelming experience. Banchan selection was basic and I couldn’t taste any flavor in any of it. Kimchi needed more sweetness. Soondubu was the best dish but I would still rate it as 3/5. Seafood pancake could have been significantly better if they salted it (no, dipping it in soy sauce is not the same). Price is quite high for the quality of food. No alcohol served here.
