I will be honest. After reading some of the reviews, I was a little concerned about trying this place out. However, my wife and I wanted some Korean cuisine so we thought that we would experience the location for ourselves.
Well Being Tofu House is snuggled into the corner of a predominantly intersection of different business which offer grocery, furniture, cellphones, fast food, and whatever you can imagine within a plaza in the high desert -I mention this because parking, while not a problem, will be interesting.
I digress, when we arrive, the place was quiet and had the look of Korean style restaurants I have frequented in the past during my travels overseas to Korea. I laugh now when I think of a comment someone made of the hostess’s attitude. While her delivery and inquiry about or meal was straight and direct, there could be some other variables influencing her approach. However, I found her manageable and even personable as the meal progressed.
The meal was not bad and the portions were comparable to the price - I got full and could not eat it all! There was so much! You will get your money worth if you are a reasonable consumer who do not frequent all-you-can- eat establishments. The one hang-up for me was the white rice I was served. Just did not taste like I am accustomed to. My wife did not seem to notice, so it may just be me.
In all, it was a pleasant experience and I will have to explore with my wife if we will make a return visit. Hope...

Read moreit was a big mistake to come there the non- Korean lady brought out the wrong soup. we had ordered three beef soft tofu soup. one of the three looked very spicy compared to the others, but we ordered three beef medium spiciness. we compared the amount of beef inside the strange one. it had almost no beef. but it had kimchee inside instead. we pointed it out to the owner who said it was just that way. when we pointed to the kimchee inside which should not be inside she brought it to the back kitchen, and we heard her yell, what kind of soup did you make!? another bowl was brought out. but we realized the cook just added more beef because we still found kimchee inside. the next strange thing: the table next to us were a Korean couple. the waitress brought out bulgogi to their table. the man spoke English to the nonKorean waitress and said that he ordered kalbi not that. the waitress said, we ran out of kalbi! we heard that and almost gasped. then an argument erupted between that man customer and the owner about the situation. then we saw the couple storm out. we were done too and left. ...
