Omma Tofu House — Restaurant in Arcadia

Update on 9/13/22

First time ordering my food to go and thought the transaction couldn’t have been smoother. Ordered via phone, given an ETA of 15 mins and food was ready when I arrived. Not only was the food delicious, but it was packed really well and made it home nice and warm. I liked the banchan packs too. Four delicious sides to go with my jajangmien, beef tofu and kalbi. All really good and perfectly satisfied my cravings. They even followed instructions perfectly as my GF doesn’t like green onions and they were left off of both the kalbi and tofu soup. ————

Probably closer to 4.5 stars, but will round up for the great service and free tea. Food was good, really good especially for a food court, but had sit down restaurant prices so expected a little more.

Kalbi ribs had great flavors, but were a bit chewy in parts. Not bad, in fact very good, but just a fact - 4 stars Tofu soup was some of the best we’ve tried - 5 Stars Cold noodles!had a great, but strong beef broth flavor. Not what I am used to, but good. 4.5 stars Banchan - very tasty seaweed salad, potato salad, fish cake, bean sprouts and Kim chi. Non of which my GF liked or can eat. 4 stars for me, 2 stars from her :)

Service, free tea and water was 5 stars Prices were fair, but seemed high for a food court, so 4 stars from me there.

Overall a great experience and someplace I want to go again. The location and casual seating allowed us to take our dog and explore a little while we waited.

Pro tip - food is made to order so expect to wait at least 15-20 mins. Call ahead or explore the are while you wait. There are other restaurants, a watch repair shop, boba and other little shops in the court and in the shopping center to explore...

There wasn't a lot of Korean options I could find in SGV for a weekend lunch that included the regular tofu house kind of fare and that wasn't a place that BF and I were not returning to anymore. What caught my eye at Omma Tofu House was their cold buckwheat noodles, a perfect item to order on a hot summer day.

I knew I didn't have enough appetite to finish their combo of galbi and cold buckwheat noodles, so I opted for the cold buckwheat noodles only ($14.99). BF ordered the bulgogi and beef tofu soup combo ($22.99). Everything really hit the spot.

We've been back multiple times to try other things on their menu like their dolsot bibimbap, jajangmyeon, galbi, spicy pork, spicy grilled chicken, and seafood pancake. All were pretty solid. Our usual go-to now would be a solo order of tofu soup and a tofu soup combo with whatever protein we are in the mood for that meal. They refill banchan, so just bring back the empty plate to the counter for some more. The counter also has a self-serving water/tea machine so you can refill your cup too.

Plenty of parking in the plaza. They close at 8 pm for all 7 days of business, so don't stop by too late, as the food court also tends to shut down...

This is inside a food court with 3 Chinese food places, 1 Japanese, and 1 Korean place. Theres also a dried food place, a jeweler, and Coway and a slew of other strip mall stores. There’s plenty of seating to dine in. Theres also plenty free parking. The food is very good, healthy, tasty, fresh, and made to order for spicy levels. You get a raw egg to break into the bubbly hot soup and it cooks. And they add a lot of clams to the tofu soup if you ordered the clam one. This tofu clam soup is the best I’ve had because of the number of clam pieces (even when I ate most of the soup, there were still 10 clam pieces) and the soup base. For $15 for most of the hot tofu soup bowls w side dishes it’s a great meal and deal. I could eat here everyday! I appreciate food that tastes clean and fresh and Oma’s is it. They also give free cold and hot water...
