DUBU TOFU HOUSE — Restaurant in Eastvale

Updates from February:

It was my favorite Korean restaurant BUT not anymore. The staff training could definitely be improved. When we ordered, we were told they had run out of rice, but they didn't offer any alternative solutions. They just stared at us blankly. I noticed on the receipt that they have other locations in the same plaza, so maybe they could check if they can get rice from one of those stores? Eventually, I asked if we could substitute rice with noodles, and after staff asking the kitchen, the staff said it was fine—but then chef loudly emphasized that it was a one-time exception. Of course, I understand that! Who would eat tofu stew without rice or noodles? And it was their lack of rice that made us suggest alternatives. During a previous visit, the staff offered a free refill of Korean side dishes, but this time, they said that service was no longer available. Then asked which staff member told us, but I honestly couldn’t remember the staff from a few months ago. Overall, the staff's service and problem-solving could use some improvement.

Beef tofu soup and Bulgogi were soooooo good

Offer One time FREE refill for side dishes 🧡 Which I don’t know after visiting 7 times🤣 Also love their side dishes （but it will be better if they have...

My kid loves to eat JapChae so i came here for this. Came in and there are couple people in the line, but they got helped pretty fast, and all the staff are so friendly and nice. After pay they gave me number and i went to look for table. And later on the staff will bring my order out to my table.

Based on this service, i really like it. That show they care about the service, other place that i went there you have to go to the counter to pick up your own food. This like a plus from me!

Now the Jap-chae, its good portion, ahhhh the flavor was sooo good!!! Its perfectly season, just so good. My kid loves it!!!!

This DUBU tofu house has so many options on their menu, i definetly will come back again to try others dishes on their menu. I heard from a friend that their Tofu soup was the best! And their porkcutlet also so good.

They also have so many different type of drinks in can from Korea. I got the peach puree drink, and its super good. My kid also likes it. And would love to try other flavor that they have next time.

Overall my experience here today was...

My party and I ordered soondobu and galbi combos. The soondobu is pretty okay, the tofu is smooth and tasty. I did like that they had black bean rice. However, the cashier wasn’t that helpful when ordering. To be honest, they barely gave any galbi for the price that you pay. We got just 6 cut up pieces in total. The banchan isn’t as fresh as it could be, the kimchi is over-pickled. The cucumber “kimchi” is not really cucumber kimchi. It was sort of sweet, and tasted like sweet and sour cucumber salad with spicy powder on top which threw us off. Some of the reviews on here show the potato salad for a side, but the day we went they had bean sprouts. They seem to rotate their sides everyday, so please keep this in mind if you expect potato salad.

Overall, it is not that bad and if you’re really craving a tofu house it’s an alright choice for the area. But if you compare to areas in OC, like BCD Tofu House, which is the same price point (~32 for a soondobu/galbi combo), other tofu houses...
