Soy Tofu

It’s a great place to go sit down for some yummy Korean fare! My favorite is the tofu soup, and the lady who runs the place is lovely.

Highly recommended. The galbi short rib, kimchi pancake, soon tofu (especially the mushroom broth), and the banchan were all delicious. There was even a bonus ice cream, how delightful! The ambiance feels elegant and distinctly European with a chill vibe. Service was great. Will be returning!

This is a review of our experience on 9/12/25 Friday Reason for 1 star: Disrespectful, Unprofessional, Hair in food We really wanted to like this place, but our recent experience was so frustrating and disappointing that we will never return. My husband stopped by on his way home to place an order in person since we couldn’t get through on the phone. Once there, he learned their phone and internet were down, which explained why. That part we understood. He placed the order and was asked to pay via Venmo. He confirmed the recipient with the owner and sent the money, but she didn’t seem to know how to check her Venmo app. As she fumbled with her phone, the food came out, but instead of finishing the payment check, she rushed over to help a new group of customers — leaving my husband standing there while the food sat on the counter. After another 5–10 minutes, a worker asked if they could hand him the food, and the owner actually yelled, "No, don’t give him the food! I need to check Venmo!" Even after he showed both the Venmo confirmation screen and email receipt, she insisted she hadn’t received it. Finally — more than 30 minutes after ordering — she suddenly said, "Oh, we got it!" and let him leave. By that point, my husband was so upset and frustrated with how poorly it was handled. To make matters worse, when I opened my beef intestine soup at home, I found a hair in it. That was the final straw. Between the lack of basic payment knowledge, the way the owner abandoned the transaction mid-check, the unnecessary delay, and the hygiene issue, this was an awful experience from start to finish. We tried to be patient and understanding, but left feeling disrespected and let down. Definitely not somewhere we’ll return.

I really love this place. From the banchan to the tofu soup, everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The fishcake banchan was the best I've had from a restaurant, smoky and savory. I got the intenstine tofu soup and the intestine was cooked just right, cleaned and so tender. Spouse got the seafood hand cut noodles and the broth was wonderful. Cannot recommend this place enough!

This is truly a hidden gem, if you want great Korean food in the La Palma area. They serve various dishes, but the soon tofu is a staple. Other great dishes include the nangmyun and galbi. Service is excellent and the servers speak English. A bonus is it’s located adjacent to a Korean market and there’s plenty of parking.

A local tofu shop near Buena Park and La Palma. was recommended by friends who said this place was better than bcd and other chain tofu restaurants.. I was quite disappointed by the tofu. It was very bland and didn't have the creamy texture that my friends mentioned. Maybe it was an anomaly.. their side dishes were great especially their spicy cucumbers and seaweed salad. The owner was super kind and the service was great!

I'm a fan of Soy Tofu! It is another local gem. The service is kind and attentive, the dining area is clean, and the vibe is pleasant. The decor is simple and homey. I've dined here several times already, and each time was fantastic. My current favorite items: - Soon Tofu (soups) - mushroom and the beef + seafood with black rice - The Tofu Combos - if you're a little more hungry, I recommend the BBQ short ribs with the tofu soup - Dumplings - fried or steamed, they are both excellent! - The complimentary ice cream! When you receive the boiling hot tofu soup, immediately add the raw egg and stir it a little. The egg will cook fast in the hot broth. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available. If you're in the area, try Soy Tofu. It's in a plaza with a Korean market and many other restaurants. There's usually plenty of parking in the public lot.
