A Ri Rang Tofu House

First time in LA and we opted for this instead of all-you-can-eat kbbq. The food was delicious and the quality was great. The complimentary sides were plentiful. Everyone got what they wanted and was more than satisfied. Prices are reasonable for the serving sizes (a bang for our buck). Our waiter was attentive to our needs and offered suggestions to make our dining more enjoyable. We didn't make reservations but got seated almost immediately.

I had no complaints about this place. When you ask for extra spicy dumpling tofu soup, be prepared. It is SPICY! Which I love.... but regret later. 🤣 🍑🔥 I love that they give you a whole pitcher of barley tea and we didn't need to ask for banchan refills. The servers were attentive and brought it automatically. I also appreciate that if you get the tofu combo with the meat, they don't give you a smaller tofu portion like some other places I know. This place never disappoints.

I have dined at this establishment on several occasions. It is the nearest Korean restaurant, and while the food quality is excellent, weekend crowds are anticipated. Service, however, requires improvement; attentiveness is lacking even during less busy lunch periods. Although complimentary side dishes are refillable, proactive replenishment is inconsistent, a common issue among restaurants. Enhanced service would undoubtedly lead to increased customer satisfaction, higher tips, and repeat business.

Had the Mushroom Tofu hot pot(med spicy) with bulgogi. The spicy level was perfect for me. Just enough kick for someone who enjoys spice flavor but wants to avoid sweating… Loved that they kept asking if we wanted refills on any of our side pickle dishes. Service was great and pricing is fair. Give em a try!

Food: Very Tasty with option choice of spicy. The flavors are excellent. Lots of side dishes Portions: Good size/Same size as any Tofu house Price: A bit in the high side, but fair for Korean food Service: Service are fast and responsive. Seems like there's always a waiter/waitress around. Atmosphere: simple, all table and single chair style, no booths. Place is clean Con: No Brown or Purple rice. They do not serve any other kind of rice except for white. I come to this place a lot when my friends. This place has a pretty good flavor for their tofu soups. They actually have more side dish than some other tofu house I've been to. There are many options that is printed on the menu also double as your placemat. Brilliant, all the Asian restaurant does that, when I place my could be an advertisement. Tofu soup can be ordered in combination or by itself. When ordering a combination, the tofu soup is the same size as an individual order. Some restaurants have a smaller size tofu soup as their combination. The service is quite fast, it's rare now restaurant has this many service people in house As the wages are getting high. There's always someone around to check your order and any other requirements you need. The atmosphere is okay, that place looks clean and looks very open. They use just regular rectangular tables an individual chairs, no booths. I actually like it this way better than the booths.

This place has improved service-wise. The food is not bad. Rather than sit-in though, I usually just order to-go nowadays, and I'm glad that the takeout actually includes the 반찬(飯饌). The 김치 marinade tends to me on the sweeter side, but that's alright. Review from 2 years ago: Each person serving us varied their quality of service. First lady dumped the cups on our table. Some were nice to check up on us. The food is ok, but it's kinda expensive from what I'm used to.

Great place if you're craving Korean food. The appetizers are all really great way to get you started. We ordered a couple of items and all are very delicious. Spicy pork was easily my favorite. It is full of flavors and right level of spiciness, go super well with rice. Galbi ribs are really tasty and tender, very easy to it. I recommend the 2 hot stone items, either bibimbap and kimchi fried rice. I think this is a great way to get your creativity flowing and also experience the Korean culture. (Bibimbap used to be a "poor man's food" during time of hardship of old days Korea. You would throw anything you still have into 1 pot, mix, and eat). I can add anything else into the pot like the appetizers, difference sauces, different meat, etc. The hot stone continues to burns for a long time so you can really incorporate the different flavors into your rice item. There is a bit of a wait on weekends, but they have a wait-list system and the staff works hard so everyone do not have to wait too long. The price on the pricier side. If they were slightly more affordable, I would definitely come here much more often. But I really do enjoy the food whenever I come here. Plus the food is mostly pretty healthy.

So many customers visiting to A Ri Rang Tofu House. I visited it for the first time with my family. The food tasted delicious, satisfying & happiness. My parents liked it alright but I liked it very much. As busy as always. Great service & the atmosphere looks perfect. So noisy. Great amount of parking inside the garage. My stomach can’t fit anymore because I ate the entire food. I should definitely come & take my friends for lunch & dinner.

Yummy delicious food. Great ambiance excellent service and the food yum yum in my tum tum. Edit: They do reviews for free sodas... the food is genuinely good the service is pretty bad but the food is worth it‍

Good food, service, and ambience. I consider it as one of my favorite restaurant. You guys should try their seafood pancake, spicy pork or chicken, short ribs (galbi), ginseng chicken soup, different kinds of tofu soups. And of course, their delicious side dishes... Yummy!!!!

A local favorite, A Ri Rang has been around for quite a while. It's a great go-to spot, service is exceptional despite busy times. Your banchan is always refilled (&sometimes without having to ask!!!). The food never disappoints here. I like that they continue to serve their rice in stone pots, (for what I know, many in the bay area don't do that anymore). My family of 4 likes to get the combo meals for the best variety to share. There's also always leftovers!

The tofu soup combos are the best here and they have the best bachan selection! The soup isnt burned or too salty and it comes with alot. The portions are big enough to share with a family and service is always so nice here! My new favorite place for local Korean food. I will say other items are a bit lacking so definitely stick to what they're known for. We have tried the rappoki and the seafood pancake, both were a miss for us. The rappoki didnt have enough noodles and was a bit too soggy. The seafood pancake is super thick and not thin and it has heavy batter.

Whenever I feel a bit under the weather, I'd get their ginseng chicken soup (samgyetang). It's a whole young chicken simmered in a rich, slow cooked in broth, often stuffed with rice, garlic, jujube & ginkgo nuts. The chicken is tender and juicy, broth is hearty & flavorful. They also serve a solid spread of banchan, and they're always generous with the portions, which I appreciate! I've been coming here since 2019, and they've always been consistent with both flavor and quality. Service is always great. It's one of my go-to korean restaurants in this area

The banchan was so good. Good variety, good flavor, and generous portions! We also got soondubu and bibimnangmyeon. I am usually not a cold noodle fan but this was so good. I would get it again. Staff was friendly and service was fast. We got here at 3pm on Saturday and n there were still some tables filled. I would definitely recommend to friends and I would come back to try more things in the menu. :)

Came here specifically for the Ginseng Chicken Soup as I was recovering from a cold. The chicken itself is a little bland and some parts were dry, but I didn't mind as I was more concerned about the nutrients I was getting. However, they do provide salt on the side if you prefer to add more flavor to either the soup or chicken. One nice surprise is that within the chicken, there is hot sticky rice, pieces of ginger and ginseng. Overall, the mild flavor and steam from the soup, chicken and the contents within it definitely hit the spot. Additionally, they provide a generous amount of banchan and will even ask if you want refills. Very friendly staff. Would come back to try their soondubu combo next time.

Best tofu soup in the San Gabriel area! Tofu soup combo is a must try. So is seafood pancake- crispy and thick full of flavor. Eight banchan dishes all delicious. Service is quick. Make sure you flag down servers if you need anything. Parking is limited. There is Covered underground parking in the back.

Excellent food; we will be coming back next week. Tofu was soft and supple; broth was tasty and spiced right

Let me tell you--this is my absolute favorite place to get tofu soup! It can get pretty loud when it's busy, so it's not the best spot if you're trying to have a conversation. Most of the staff are friendly. There's parking downstairs, and I've never had an issue finding a spot. Highly recommend! Sides: They come with so many sides, and you can get free refills. I especially love the bean sprouts, broccoli, and spicy cucumber. Every table also comes with tea (hot or cold). Soup: I always get the beef tofu soup, mild--and it's perfect. The broth is super flavorful and comes with a generous amount of meat and tofu. You can choose to have an egg added or leave it out (they'll ask when you order). The rice is served in a stone pot, which is great, but they tend to bring it out too early. By the time the soup arrives, the rice is kind of warm.

The service is always exceptional! Sides were refilled quickly and staff were all attentive. Food came out sizzling hot, flavorful and just in time to satisfy my hunger. The unlimited sides here are fresh, I love the broccoli and kimchi here so much that I order extras to go. Prices are still reasonable and economical. Plenty of parking in back & underground garage. The restaurant is usually busy but it's spacious enough to accommodate large groups too.

Loved it. I had a craving for tofu soup and this really hit the spot. Inside is simple with plenty of seating. It's a good place for small groups. A nice simple menu of Korean dishes and tofu soup. The combos are where it's at though. I got the spicy grilled chicken and clam tofu soup combo. So good! The soup had plenty of clams and tofu. I got medium spice, it was a good level for my taste. The banchan was good too. It was a great filling meal, perfect for this colder weather. Will definitely be coming back to try more. Service was good. Friendly staff. Easy parking in the shopping center lot.

Our absolute favorite tofu spot. We actually prefer this tofu spot over Young Dong! I was on a Korean fiend all day yesterday. Having to have eaten breakfast at Namu Kitchen, had to end our night with a bang at none other than... Ai Ri Rang! Hubby and I went to dinner around 6:30p and surprisingly, no wait! There's this girl that works in the front whom calls out whose table is ready, don't know her name, but her service is always impeccable. We sat down within 2 mins of arrival, our server got our order within 2 mins of sitting down. Since I've been craving for banchan for awhile, I went ham on it as soon as they came out with the banchan within 5 minutes. The girl that works up in front, she's amazing, she came by and refilled our banchan without us even asking! I even told her she's the best, in which she said thank you and smiled. I ordered the combo spicy chicken with #4 (seafood and beef tofu). Hubby ordered the spicy pork with seafood & beef tofu soup. Ambiance was nice. I'm surprised there wasn't an hour wait as usual. But did see the customers were starting to wait around 7:15pm. Ratings + Prices: *Spicy Chicken + Seafood & Beef Tofu 9/10~ $26.99 *Spicy Pork + Seafood & Beef Tofu 9/10~ $27.99 MUST try! Happy Eats!

The food came quick and was hot and delicious. This especially hit the spot since it was a cold day and we were starving upon arrival. Once seated, we were served iced barley tea and sides, which we munched on while waiting for our order. They are very generous with the free side dishes. The server was really helpful, checking in on us to see if we wanted more sides. The barley tea was good too but since it was iced, would've enjoyed it more during a hotter day. Maybe we should have asked for hot tea, but I didn't think about it at the time. I ordered the bibimbap + tofu soup combo (C7). My friend ordered the sizzling galbi + tofu soup (C1). You can select your spice level for the tofu soup. You can also choose the type of tofu soup you want for when you order a combo. We enjoyed our food! Outside is a bit hard to spot since it's nestled in the corner, but once inside, the atmosphere was spacious, clean, and welcoming. We went on a weekend around 2 PM so it wasn't too crowded. However, it's on the pricier side due to weekend pricing. Parking was plentiful. Tip: You can split the bill by using separate credit cards based on what you order and they will give you two receipts!

Genuinely the best soondubu ive ever had in my life. This was so nostalgic. To be honest I thought I hated soondubu but i think i just hate BCD. This place has the best banchan, they serve the rice in the hot stone pot and you KNOW it's gonna be fire when they have the two peas on it. Noorungbap was the perfect texture, they're so on top of refilling banchan (which is BOMB by the way). I got the assorted (beef + seafood) soondubu medium. I usually eat less than 20% of my rice at restaurants but i ate the entire bowl. Everything was fire

I visited thanks to a huge Soondubu craving and it was everything I wanted. I came during the lunch special, so the combo meals were a great deal. I went with the beef tofu soup and bulgogi combo. The place was fairly empty around 2 PM, with just a few tables occupied, but it was still pretty loud since they had music blasting. They start you off with water or hot tea and bring out a generous variety of banchan dishes. I loved that there were so many to try and choose from. They also ask if you'd like an egg cracked into your soup (I said yes, of course). The servers were quick with everything. The food came out fast and was delicious. I always love mixing rice with the soup and banchan. Such an awesome combo in my opinion. I definitely left in a full food coma after both the main course and all those sides. I'll definitely be back the next time a craving hits. If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend it.

Amazing service and always friendly. Food is good and the sides are tasty It does it get busy around certain times but they are quick on service The vibe is great for friends and families

Came here on a Saturday around 530pm and there was no wait thankfully. Parking is in a share plaza with lots of other restaurants and shops, there is underground parking available as well. We each ordered our own tofu soup and decided to share some other items including seafood pancake, Rabokki and a plate of Galbi. So I honestly just think it's really overpriced for what you get. The quality is decent but we spent over $50/pp although we did have some leftovers. The Galbi was definitely a paltry portion for like $35 which is insane. I know flanken short ribs aren't cheap but jeez. The seafood pancake was also way too thick and I wish they sold a smaller portion for cheaper instead of being forced to order a huge one for $26. The Rabokki was good but it was way more onion than tteok-bokki and ramen. Their banchans were good but when we asked for extra they never came back with any. So service was also lacking. It's clean and pretty spacious so that was nice but honestly I just don't really think it's worth it imo for the price only.

Amazing Korean food. We had a party of 7 and first to arrive. They set up a table for us all and two of us were seated even though it stated your entire party must be here to be seated. It was 2:30 pm though. I ordered the combo lunch galbi and dumpling tofu soup. The galbi was marinated to perfection. Flavors popped and very tender. The star of the show was the tofu soup. This was outstanding. The tofu was top quality and the soup was superb. I added rice into the soup making the meal memorable.. You can order to your own spice level. I can't take to much heat so I ordered mild, but next time I'll order medium. This place is awesome. I'll be back.

Good and tasty Korean tofu restaurant in the area. The lunch time specials have a good price, but I felt like dinner was a little bit pricier than what I'm used to. Nevertheless the food was good and I liked they had hot barely tea since it was cold outside. The combo included a wide array of side dishes too. The service was relatively quick. It was a busy dinner time during a Wednesday night. The restaurant was clean and lively.

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 This tofu house is my go to spot in the SGV area. I ordered my usual beef bulgogi combo with medium spicy seafood tofu, along with the fried yellow croaker combo. The side dishes were awesome, and the service was great. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place.

We came here on a rainy LA night. My mom wanted something comforting so she said she wanted tofu soup. So we came here for dinner. We got the combination C1. Galbi and Tofu Soup, C7. Bibimbap and Tofu Soup, fish and tofu combo, S15. Gyoza, and S9. Seafood Pancake. Everything came out pretty good. Our favorites were that Seafood pancake, Bibimbap in the Stone pot, and the seafood beef tofu soup. I would skip the Gyoza. Not sure if they change owners since the last time we've been here which is a few years ago, but I feel like the taste is a little different. Their service is OK. They are banchan is still better than most places. If you decide to go here, make sure you go early because there will be a line outside.

i don't have korean food too often as i can't take the heat, but i do know when it be hittin. this was my first time at a tofu house other than bcd or youngdong, and im glad i tried it. this place is tucked away in a corner of an asian plaza. they got plenty of seating and we were seated and served rather quickly. first thing i noticed was that the side dishes were quite different than the other chain tofu places. they were actually quite unique and hit in their own little way. we got bibimbap and a tofu soup. there's only one right option and that's gotta be the dumpdump soup. solid food all around. unlike other places, they ask if you want the egg in the soup, to which we said yes. strangest egg i've ever seen though. it had a white yolk. somebody tell me if this normal cause i thought i was trippin.

We arrived at the restaurant on a Friday evening, around 6:00pm. There was no wait time, but things did get busier after ~6:30pm, maybe we got lucky :D. The restaurant felt spacious, great service! There are two bathrooms, mildly clean. Definitely would go again! We ordered 4 items: 1. Tteok-bukki: The tteok-bukki was very flavorful, had great spice (not too spicy, as a person with a spice sensitive partner, he was able to eat this with ease). There was good umami flavor to the dish! The rice cake was cooked to perfection, chewy but not soggy. My only complaint would be the ratio of rice cakes to veggies, I felt that there were too little rice cakes for the amount of veggies that was in the dish. 2. Bulgogi: The bulgogi comes with a little pot of rice, perfect for sharing! If you're looking to share with about 3 people, this should do. The pieces of meat are on the smaller side, but meat melts in your mouth and the portions are quite large. It was not overly sweet, which I liked! Often times, I think bulgogi is to sweet at some restaurants so this had the perfect balance. Came with onions too. 3. Spicy cold wheat noodles: This was my favorite dish! We came on a hot day, so this was well worth it. The combination of the coldness, chewiness, and that authentic Korean red pepper flavor makes for the perfect dish on a hot day! 4. Kimchi fried rice with bulgogi (I totally forgot to take a picture b/c it was so good!): The kimchi fried rice pulled the whole meal together. I loved that they used older fermented kimchi (at least I think they did). I find that sometimes kimchi fried rice does not have that kimchi flavor due to using newly made kimchi or not enough. This kimchi fried rice was acidic and you get that kimchi flavor! Bulgogi was the same as the bulgogi on the hot plate, added a good mild touch of sweetest. Parking: Parking is good! There is underground parking behind the building, and also free.

With so many tofu soup places out there, I can't vouch for this one. Everything was shockingly sweet, which seems to be a trend I've noticed in many Korean restaurants lately. Why?? And don't even get me started on the cheese--I don't get the obsession. (For context, I'm Korean.) One cool aspect is that the wait staff speak both Korean and Chinese, but unfortunately, that's where the talent seems to stop. The banchan (side dishes) looked so promising in the pictures--offering rarer items like potato salad, acorn jelly, and seaweed knots. But in reality, the flavors were a letdown. The potato salad was so sweet it tasted like ice cream--just plain weird. The tofu soup and spicy pork were okay, but everything else leaned heavily on the sickly sweet side. On top of that, their prices are a few dollars higher than other tofu soup houses, which makes it even less appealing. Definitely not worth it for me. I won't be returning.

A Ri Rang Tofu House was one of my favorite restaurants to go to when I was young, so I decided to give it a try after years! I had to wait a while, but the queue was very efficient, and they gave me a number to check in. I waited around 20-30 minutes and was seated quickly. Service was super friendly and I ordered the beef and seafood tofu soup with the spicy pork bulgogi. Compared to BCD Tofu House, a natural Korean staple, the portions are less, but the flavor is consistent and strong. The kimchi, broccoli, and other side dishes complimented well with the bulgogi, and the seasoning was well-detailed and had depth. The rice portions were fair, and the tofu was big and chunky--something that may be disliked by some but definitely enjoyed by me! Big juicy chunks of tofu, followed by pieces of shrimp, clam, and beef. Super warm and comforting. I would definitely come again if I'm in the area. I'm just not sure if I'm willing to come over compared to BCD, though. It's a great alternative!

This is probably my favorite Korean tofu soup spot in the area. I've been here several times and it's a great experience every time. This restaurant is located in a plaza with ample parking on the ground and underground level, though beware because the ramp to get underground is steep. This restaurant does get busy, but the wait usually isn't bad. I always get seated immediately or have to wait max 15 minutes. I usually get their combo option where you can choose a dish and a tofu soup. Bulgogi (5/5): Really good and flavorful dish. Cooked and marinated well, and pairs great with rice or by itself. Definitely recommend trying this! Beef tofu soup (5/5): I got the medium spicy level and it was perfect. Had a small kick but not overpowering. There's a lot of tofu and beef, and the soup comes with a raw egg cracked inside which I really like. You also get a variety of banchan like kimchi, fish cake, mashed potato, etc. most of which I like! Plus their cold barley tea is good. The restaurant is pretty big with plenty of seating indoors. Great spot to check out if you are craving tofu soup. There's also some dessert spots in the same plaza if you want to continue your food journey afterward, though I usually get really full after eating here.

Great Korean food. Casual Asian dining experience. A Ri Rang Tofu House is located in the ground floor corner of a two story plaza. The plaza has ample parking on the basement level and even has a few EV charging stations. Service was quick and efficient and we were seated immediately. A quick raise of your hand and the staff attend to your requests just as quick. Our group ordered a 2 mushroom tofu soups, a dolsot (hot stone) bibimbap, and a regular bibimbap. All of it delicious. As standard with Korean restaurants, banchan and hot tea is provided as soon as you sit down. The banchan was some of the best I've had. All of it, from the kimchi to the cucumbers to the fish cakes (and I don't even like fish cakes), all of it, delicious.

This is establishment is in the same plaza where I got my sca massage. The banchan is on point. A nice variety and it's fresh. The kimchi is good hate when kimchi is not fermented enough. I ordered the lunch combo C8 which is the dolsot bibimbap plus tofu soup. You can choose what type of tofu soup you want choices are beef, pork, seafood, seafood, and beef, they even have mushroom tofu soup I went for the oyster tofu soup. The egg already comes in the tofu soup so no need to crack it yourself, which is not a big deal if I did have to. The dol sot has ground beef instead of bulgogi strips which was fine. Fresh veggies with an egg right on top hit the spot. I will come again.

Disclaimer: We did NOT try the tofu soup here. This is a Korean restaurant specializing in tofu soup that we did not try. This is a pleasant restaurant with great service. Servers are attentive, kind and accommodating. To be completely honest, this would not be my first pick for Korean food. While the Kalbi was decent, the yukgaejang was bland with meat that didn't taste very fresh and way too many bean sprouts and fern. This may be a great place for tofu soup or other items but not my go to for other types of Korean soup.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty full, but there was no wait. The service is very fast. They have the menu on a mat placed out already. They give you some code iced tea and the side dishes and check to see if you're ready to order within 2 minutes of sitting. The food also comes out really fast. They come out with the free, complementary unlimited side dishes and then the rice in a pot. I love the crispy rice. Then they come out with the meats that you may have ordered and finally it will be the tofu soups. The beef bone, tofu soup, and it was really good. It was very warm and cosy and had the perfect amount of beef and tofu. it was also very flavorful with an egg cracked inside. We also got the 12 piece galbi that was well cooked and delicious. TLDR - good food, quick service,

A Ri Rang has become one of my go-to Korean spots in the SGV area. I've been here many times now, and every friend I've brought along has agreed it's delicious. I'd even say it surpasses BCD Tofu House. On busy evenings (around 7-8 PM on weekends), the longest I've waited was about 25 minutes but some days I've had no wait times. Even on busy days there is always parking available in the underground lot. As soon as you're seated, a generous array of banchan awaits. The spread includes fish cakes, kimchi, spicy cucumbers, bean sprouts, cheongpo-muk (mung bean jelly), broccoli, potato salad, and seaweed salad--quite the selection! You can always ask for banchan refills, and the servers are happy to oblige. They serve warm barley tea in the evenings, but water is also available upon request. A Ri Rang is always bustling with customers of all ages, and the staff are incredibly quick and attentive. My partner and I usually split a combo (soup + side dish) and an additional soup so we can share a side dish together. The rice is served in a hot stone pot with peas, and you can choose to add an egg for extra richness. The soups are customizable in spiciness, ranging from not spicy to extra spicy--my favorite is the seafood and beef soup with medium spice. If you're looking for something comforting, healthy, and satisfying, A Ri Rang is always a solid choice. Highly recommend if you're in the SGV area and can't decide where to eat!

This place has always beeen my favorite place! The food is 10/10 especially tofu soup, never seen any korean restaurant that sells better tofu soup than this place. I've been a customer from this restaurant for at least 6 years now and the quality is still top notch. What made me write a review is the service. Though the service wasn't impressive years ago but these days, WOW. Everyone is very helpful and friendly. Which helps me to enjoy my food even more. The ambiance is cozy- feel like home. It's usually always packed but I got lucky there was still a table available when I walk in. Yummy

Was craving some tofu soup and found this spot. Can in around 8PM on Saturday and it was still kinda busy but got seated right away. They give a lot of banchan compared to other tofu places and their fish cakes were my favorite. I got the galbi and tofu soup combo. The taste was good but the galbi and rice weren't that hot. Marinade was good but was expecting some grill marks sizzle on the galbi. The rice wasn't hot for being in a stone pot and didn't produce the scorched rice. The tofu soup had a great silky tofu m but the flavor was a bit lacking.

Best food this is the best restaurant ive been to really enjoy the tofu soup! I cant wait to come back

I will definitely be coming back here when i'm in LA! We went here for lunch on a Friday afternoon and I ordered the C1 Galbi and Tofu Soup and it was delicious! The soup was flavorful and the Galbi was tender and juicy! The banchan was also very high quality. We got seated immediately and the workers were super nice and sweet. The place is very clean and smelled great! I liked how there were lots of utensils and napkins and whenever we run out they were quick to give us more.

This tofu house is hands down one of my favorites in the 626 area! I've been here so many times, and it never disappoints. The service is always on point, and the food--wow! You have to love the tofu soup; it's always served piping hot, which is perfect for cold days. The small side dishes are also fantastic, and the best part? You can get as many refills as you want! The prices are right, and parking is usually pretty easy since it's in a plaza with plenty of spaces. Sure, it can be a little annoying to park on the second level sometimes, but trust me, it's worth it! On my first visit, I ordered the combination with beef tofu soup and bulgogi, and FLAVORRRRR! Everything was seasoned so well, including the chap chae. I even had leftovers for lunch the next day. The place was nice and clean, and despite being busy, we were seated right away.

The food here was so delicious! I went with my friend and they sat us right away since it was 40 min to closing and it was a Monday night. It's located in a plaza and the time we went wasn't too busy! I'm sure if it were another time, it would be busier. The food was so flavorful and tasty. I was hungry so it was perfect for a hearty meal. The sides were also fantastic. I think the menu was kind of pricey though but overall it was a great experience! I would highly recommend it if you wanted to try some Korean foods in the area. Inside was clean and a cute comfort spot. The servers and waiters were nice!

Quick and welcoming service upon entry. There's a pink frog at the entrance!! Very welcoming too. Our party of 4 on a Friday...we ordered combos (teriyaki chicken 3/5 and dumpling soon tofu soup 4/5; galbi and dumpling soup 4/5, spicy pork (mild) 5/5 with seafood soon tofu soup 5/5 ...I got the galbi 4/5 and beef soon tofu 4/5... Ambiance 5/5 It's modern comfortable pleasant clean spacious...well-designed open seating space. Teamwork 5/5 amongst the servers, so the banchan arrives in a tornado of activity, servers are quick to bring out the generous portions of banchan 5/5...the banchan. .a lot of variety but the potato salad was the favorite: also the bean sprouts. Love the rice in a iron cast bowl. The Galbi was good 5/5 but the teriyaki chicken was more savory than sweet 3/5. If you have a craving for soon tofu soup...I enjoyed eating here. Plenty of free parking especially in back and undetground.

You get for what it is worth. The amount of side dishes and price makes up for lack luster taste of soft tofu soup. The establishment is clean, wait staff are courteous and attentive. However, the soft tofu soup taste like Korean instant noodle seasoning. Also, some of the ingredients like seafood are not fresh or of good quality. The seafood looks and taste like it was from frozen seafood package. I would not be surprised as the owner needs to cut cost. At least they have a decent parking in the front and back.

One of my favorite tofu house in the 626 area! It's located in the corner of the plaza next to Tay Ho. Parking in the front is limited, but there's more parking in the back and underground. Service here is always top notch! Upon being seated you get roughly 8 different banchans with unlimited refills and a pitcher of iced barely tea. --- We went during lunch time and go their C2-Bulgogi+ tofu Soup combination ($26.99 , lunch special) and the Kimchi and Beef tofu soup ( 16.99). Everything was a solid 5/5!

Was craving cold noodles, so I decided to stop by here with family! We got a tofu and dish combo and the cold noodles (the non-spicy one). The service was good! They were very attentive in bringing another round of side dishes when we finished the first round of side dishes. Everything was good, light and not too saucy but still has flavor. I want to go back for those cold noodles already hehe.

The soups here are really good--full of flavor and super satisfying. The pork cutlet is just okay, but still enjoyable. Overall, it's a solid place, especially if you're craving some tasty soup! There was no problems with service and the place is a decent clean place to come eat with everyone. Everything is pretty shareable portions as well!

Nestled among other shops and restaurants, A Ri Rang may be easy to pass by. However, if you are looking for some good Korean food in this part of the SGV, you should definitely stop by. The server quickly asked me about how many were in my party and was seated in less than a minute. The banchan is brought out by the waiters in no time! After placing my order for a bulgogi and sundubu combo, I enjoyed my banchan and in a few minutes the bulgogi was brought out, followed shortly by the sundubu. Both the bulgogi and sundubu were delicious! The bulgogi is mixed with some onions, so be mindful of you do expect the whole plate to be all meat. They do ask if you'd like an egg included in the sundubu and what level of spice you'd like as well, which is greatly appreciated. All in all, you can't go wrong with the Korean food at A Ri Rang, and you will be able to enjoy some too!

Ordered via Uber eats so my comments are about the food (galbi tang, naengmyeon, and seafood pancake) Food is average, good portion of meat served with the galbi tang, but the seafood pancake was disappointing Typically there is a balance between pancake and assorted seafood.. This pancake was majority imitation crab with some other seafood occasionally..it was not a good balance of flavors or texture for $25+ Won't be ordering from here again

I love this place. The service is good and the food portion is generous. The sides are really good and they keep the size coming. I typically order the combination. Technically the combination can eat about one to two people. When I come here with three people, we order two combinations and it's more than enough. Good food, good service. What else can you ask for.

A Ri Rang Tofu House is a local tofu soup spot in the heart of 626. When we arrived, there was only parking downstairs, and roughly 10 people in front of us in line. I was excited as there were so many people waiting at almost 8 pm on a Saturday. However, when the food came out, I was a little underwhelmed. The food was just ok, as the tofu soup was not as flavorful as I expected and did not have as much tofu as I hoped. The galbi was good, but there were not many for the price. In addition, the bathroom situation is atrocious as there was no toilet paper in either restroom for the entire 2 hours we were there. Overall, just an average tofu soup location.

I ordered combo C2, bulgogi and soup. Bulgogi cooked to perfection and delicious. Sides are also delicious, plentiful, and refillable. We came in at around 1:40 pm and were sat immediately however it was getting a bit busy as we left.

Came for dinner one night and the wait was over an hour so went to another dining option. Came back today since it was off peak hours and was seated right away since there were many unoccupied tables. We ordered the croaker combo set and the galbi combo set. Both were delicious. The fried croaker was very good. You can chew up most of it since the ground technique made the bones soft. The ban chans or side dishes were good. The combos came with rice. You'll be immediately offered hot barley tea in metal cups or water. Lunch time was not busy at all. Everything was so delicious. Highly recommend this place. There is free underground parking available.
