I have been here twice and the staff were always attentive! The environment feels like very homey like grandmother’s house. They have purple rice for their meals and they are not salty!! Definitely recommending for a stable, comforting Korean meal :)

I’m always ordering seafood tofu soup whenever I’m at a Korean restaurant. This was so good & heart warming. It was very cold that night and this really warmed us up! Love all the side dishes as well, my favorite one is always the bean sprouts.

We craved Korean food and decided on Dae Jang Geum Tofu because it was close by. I am glad we did, the portions were hardy and flavorful. Parking is a bit tricky on that block, but at least it's free!

Delicious Korean food! Some of the best beef dolsot I've ever had. Service was fast and friendly.

Dae Jang Geum Tofu House is a great spot for Korean food. The food is always delicious and the service is great - attentive but not over-the-top. There are parking spots out front but also street parking and the Westlake parking lot nearby.

First time eating here. Wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. The interior is really nice and welcoming. The service was really nice and even brought extra napkins during our meal without us asking. I love when places do that. Overall experience was great and planning to come back to try the other items. Highly recommended!

We went here for lunch. The restaurant’s main dish is Soft Tofu Stew. They also have Hot Plate. We ordered a combo of Soft Tofu Stew (any type, we chose beef tofu stew with spicy broth) and Spicy Pork. They brought out 8 banchan dishes (side dishes). They were really good. The wait time was about 15 minutes, but the food was smoking hot when they brought out. The sound of the spicy meat on the hot place made the dish even tastier. The soup was excellent. The tofu was extra soft which melted in your mouth. You should eat it when it still hot with a full spoon of purple rice. Totally recommend. As the food was so good, we could not resist and ordered Soy Garlic Fried Chicken Wings. And we were not disappointed. The chicken meat was tender and the sauce was very delicious. The staff was extra nice and always checked in us to see if we need anything.

Dae Jang Geum Tofu House in Daly City is a must-visit for Korean cuisine enthusiasts, especially if you’re a fan of tofu soup. The variety and quality are outstanding, with silky tofu and flavorful broths that cater to all spice levels. The portions are generous, and the ingredients are always fresh. However, parking can be a bit tricky, as street parking is limited. Nearby Westlake Shopping Center offers a more reliable option just a block away. One thing to note: the area can be quite dark at night, so it’s wise to stay alert for traffic and cautious drivers when walking to and from your car. Despite this, the amazing food makes it all worth it. Highly recommend!

The **banchan** (broccoli, potato, japchae, bean sprouts, kimchi & cucumber) is exceptional - "the best". **Soup Tofu** is a must-order, praised for its generous meat portions. **Bulgogi and Galbi** are delicious, tasty, and tender. Spicy Pork was too sweet and overly wet/soggy. **Seafood Pancakes** were overly thick and contained too much meat, overwhelming the seafood. must-try soup tofu, excellent bulgogi/galbi. The restaurant is **clean** and provides a pleasant atmosphere, making it **good for family dinners**. Service is a strong point: **very fast and professional**.

Was craving Korean food and ordered the bibimbap. It is a bowl of veggies consisting of carrots, sprouts, spinach, mushrooms and bulgogi beef. There is white rice inside as well. Mix it with some gochujang sauce and it's over! So gooood!! The icing on the cake is the fried egg on top! It also came with some ban chan sides like kimchi, japchae noodles, broccoli and spicy cucumbers. Service was fairly decent and the ambiance is casual. It's good for both small and large parties. Located nearby the Westlake Library, Quickly's and the Post Office. Parking can get busy but is not too bad.

We made reservations for a party of 16 on a Sunday morning at 11:30am, and there was plenty of room in the restaurant at that hour. 8 adults at one table, and 8 children at the other lol Parking is a HUGE pain in this area, however, so be prepared to drive around scouting for a spot, or just give up and park at Home Depot like we did :) The food here was fantastic, and my personal favorite was the seafood pancake, which was larger than expected like a medium pizza! The Bulgogi was delicious and flavorful, while the Bibimbap was a healthy assortment of sauteed veggies and goodies. We also got the Ramen with beef. It's not particularly fancy inside, but still a great dining experience!

We've walked by this place plenty of times but never thought to try it. Headed to Original Joe's but the place was packed, we wanted some meat, and the Korean Kalbi came to mind. Drove by, parking opened near the front, we took it, and walked in to a half full restaurant around 6pm. Sit anywhere you like and we sat away from the door to avoid the draft. Light barley tea brought out immediately. Perused the menu and ordered: Japchae, and main dishes of Combo Kalbi & Mild Pork Tofu Soup, and Ribeye Noodle Soup. We also opted for purple rice in place of white rice. Two bowls brought out although we had three people - guess they go by the main course orders. Couldn't comp another bowl of rice on an over $100 dinner with tax and tip. Jeez... allow some staff leeway to make decisions. The combo was the best of the three ordered items. The tofu soup had a lot of sliced pork belly although we had to request the egg. No ladle for our soups either. Next table also didn't have a ladle for their shared soups. The Kalbi of two strips was good and came out on a sizzling platter with lots of onions on the bottom. Not too fatty and the six cut pieces were thick. The Japchae was average, a little gooey, beef shreds were overly sweet... not the best or the worse that we've had. As for the Ribeye Noodle Soup, it was more like an overly sweet Beef Sukiyaki. It's not a savory soup like a Beef Pho but some weird sweet version with shreds of beef. Likely the same beef as the Japchae but in the soup. Pass on the Ribeye Noodle Soup. Banchan of broccoli, potatoes, bean sprouts, fish cake, Kimchee, and Oi Muchim. Refills if needed. Overall, we'd go back for the Combo, Soft Tofu Soup, and maybe try the Seafood Pancake in the future. Pass on the Japchae and Ribeye Noodle Soup. Service was good. Place was clean and well-lit with tables not overly cramped.

If you're craving for Korean food and want value plus delicious food, then you have to go here! The staff is friendly and patient as we had a large party. The food is always on point and delicious! The star of the show this time was the garlic soy fried chicken wings! I had no idea they had Korean fried chicken and it was damn good! The chicken was juicy and fried to perfection. The sauce was really what made this so good. It's no Korean fried chicken like in Korea but still very good .

This is my favorite place for Galbi! It's a bit pricey but the flavor, texture and quality is very consistent every time. We also love the Kimchee tofu soup and all the banchan. Service is usually good, but can be slow sometimes. It's not a fancy place, but it'll do! We've dined in, ordered out and ordered via DoorDash before. Oarki

Came here with my extended family for Sunday lunch twice and luckily didn't have to wait for a table because there can be a wait sometimes. The people working here are working hard and friendly. They are also very accommodating with asking for extra bonchon. The food is very good and everything we ordered are items we would order again. My daughter loves the bonchon glass noodles. Like most Korean restaurants the grilled beef and ribs can be quite pricey but still very yummy. The server once incorrectly added 2 items to our bill that we did not order but they were very nice and acknowledged the mistake and rectified the situation. We would definitely come back.

Excellent value especially during lunch hours, when you can get an entire plate of spicy pork (bulgogi) for $20. Lots of room inside and it's rarely crowded. Service was excellent and expedient. Dinner is quite a bit more expensive for the same quantity of food, so not as great value. If you pay cash, it's a 5% discount.

This was my second time here. It's a decent place to curb your Korean food cravings. It's well priced for the amount of food you get. I ordered the combination tofu soup and Galbi dinner. I'm not sure if I got less Galbi than if I ordered it by itself but the portion size was still pretty big. I ordered my tofu soup mild and it wasn't that spicy at all but still very flavorful. If you have party of 2-4 people you won't need to wait long. They are very accommodating to larger parties but I'd probably get their earlier to ensure you get a table. Since it's located in between residential housing and the Westlake mall, parking really was not an issue if you're willing to walk a little bit. Service is always good here.

I've dined in a few times, but I recently tried ordering online for pickup. The website said to be prepared to show your ID and matching credit card when you pick up the order. When I got there, they just checked my ID, and I was good to go. There were a few street parking spots available in front of the restaurant and there was only one occupied table inside when I picked up my food around 1:30 PM on a Thursday. My mom got the So Go Gi Soon Dooboo with medium spice. She described the soup as healing and soothing. I got the Soon Dooboo + Bul Go Gi combo and chose the Mandoo Soon Dooboo with mild spice. I wanted a slight kick but nothing painfully spicy, and the spice level was perfect for me. The bulgogi marinade had a nice sweetness, and the portion was generous and lasted me two meals. Both Soon Dooboos came with a side of purple rice. The bonus banchan was a nice complement to the meal. We enjoyed the sweet braised potatoes, but we found some sides like the beansprouts and broccoli to be a little bland. I appreciated the extra care in packaging the to-go order to prevent leaking (the cucumber and kimchi banchan were wrapped in an extra layer inside the box and the Soon Dooboo containers were sealed in individual bags). One of the Soon Dooboos leaked a bit, but that's why the individual bag came in handy.

My goodness...how is this place around and also busy? I wanted some soondubu and if we were in the area so this was our stop. Terrible mistake. The food quality was terrible. The soondubu had zero flavor and it was extremely disappointing. I can't explain it other than drinking red water. Probably one of the worst I've ever had. The kalbi was semi decent. It wasn't super sweet which I appreciated but really nothing t write home about. Banchan was also pretty bland. It was busy and there was a lack of servers which made everything a bit slow. I don't recommend this place for soondubu and would rather take a few steps and eat elsewhere.

Took family & friends to lunch at this great place, located on Southgate Ave. in Daly City. Since this was our first time eating here, we were greeted kindly and they explained the menu to us. We ordered the Gal Bi (Beef Short Ribs), Beef Dolsot (Beef, vegetables & egg over rice in hot stone pot), Kkan Pung Gi (Soy Garlic Fried Chicken). There were so much delicious food between the four of us, that there was still some more left over to take home. The price was not bad either for the amount of food that we ordered.

The soy garlic wings were crispy and tasted good. For some reason the tofu soup was bland, ironic since this place is called Tofu House. Spicy pork was decent but seemed like it was drenched in sauce. Bulgogi, Jap chae, and seafood pancake were decent. Service was good, but the food was just okay. All in all, an ok Korean restaurant. Parking can be a challenge.

I always order the ramen soondobu! First off, I love ramyun in tofu stew and the fact that the noodles aren't an add on but included is why I always come here. Can't forget the galbi. This plus the service which is attentive and quick this review is five stars

A decent spot for Korean food and a good space for large or small groups! Service is prompt and friendly, plus they offer a discount if paid with cash. Upon arrival there were three other groups eating here. I came here on a weekday with friends and a toddler. The ladies were very mindful of the toddler and made sure not to put sizzling plates in front of the toddler! I ordered tofu soup with beef and you can decide your spice level- none, mild, regular and spicy. I chose mild and it was perfect for me. My friend got regular and it was definitely more spicy looking but that's what they wanted and they enjoyed it. There's also banchan (kimchi- very wet and sour fermented here, japchae noodles, spicy cucumber, bean sprouts, broccoli) and the tofu soup comes with raw egg that you can crack into the soup. We also ordered veggie pancake and kalbi to share. The kalbi was delicious but the plate looked a bit deceiving as I thought there would be more pieces for the price. I mean either way Korean meat tends to be pricy. They have different prices for lunch and dinner so note that when you look on the menu. The veggie pancake we noticed was more cooked and browned on one side / half than the other but it was tasty! The meal comes with purple rice and barley tea. Parking on the street can be difficult. It's pretty busy out there so factor in time to park the car!

My parents were having dinner before we went to an event in Westlake. Inside, the restaurant was really warm and kept us cool from the cold weather. The place was nice and not crazy even if it was winter break. I had the bulgogi and it was the same taste as other places. If you want a cozy Korean meal, this place is your go-to.

***Update*** We decided to give this place another shot after a few years. It was actually really good food! Our friends joined us and enjoyed everything that we ordered. GALBI ~ Flavorful and smoking when it's served on a hot sizzling platter! This was a yummy dish (though pricey at $39) KIMCHI FRIED RICE (beef) ~ as expected, spicy and tasty! Most restaurants don't give meat options, but this restaurant does! FRIED CHICKEN WINGS ~ Sweet tasting and really good. I think we got about 10 wings (wings and drumettes) SEAFOOD PANCAKE ~ I guess I was expecting it to be more crispy or crunchy but it was kind of soggy and eggy. At least not oily. Our friends liked it though, but they've never had Korean food! We've had better, but this tasted healthier. BAN CHAN ~ I enjoy ban chan while waiting for the main dishes! And they give a nice variety too! They give you jap jae (clear noodles), 2 kinds of kimchi, potatoes, broccoli...etc I think about 6-8 small dishes. Sorry I didn't get all the ban chan in the photo. We ordered sake and a bottle of yogurt soju. The total was about $145 with tip....but we had 3 boxes to take home and our friends were impressed! The staff was attentive and accommodating. Although the restaurant interiors haven't changed since our first visit a few years back, it has that comfortable, down to Earth, homey vibe.

Had a great experience at Dae Jang on a Saturday night. The restaurant is spacious; upon our arrival, there were several tables that were already eating, but there were still available tables and we were promptly seated. (This was around 645pm) Enjoyed the standard banchans, my gf and I opted for the kalguksu and the combo (pork soondubu and kalbi). The bill totaled around $60. The restaurant was clean, complimentary hot tea was a nice touch, and the servers were quite attentive. Overall, a satisfying visit. I would definitely consider returning.

Pretty good Korean. Second time eating here. The first time I had uninspired chicken. Today's spicy pork was very good. Wifey liked her ramen. The shoyu potatoes were also good although the kimchi (which is my favorite Korean app) was a disappointment.

Stumbled upon this place during lunchtime and decided to give it a try. We were able to be seated quickly and were given ample time to look over the menu and place our order with the attentive waitress. The banchan and tea were brought out and were nothing less than delicious! It's a relatively quiet setting with plenty of tables in the dining area. Not only was the food delicious, the portions were generous and were enough for sharing and to take to-go. We ordered the japchae, ham, corn, and cheese tofu stew, and bul go gi dduk bok ki. I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

Was craving Korean and decided to try this tofu house out before our Sunday grocery run. It was definitely packed by the time we left, so obviously a local fave. And I can see why! Huge portions of Japchae and bulgogi, flavorful galbitang, and prompt service. What more could you ask for??

Our server was very nice, she made sure we had enough side dishes and double checked everyone's order since we came in a big group. The restaurant has lots of seating, you usually don't have to wait too long to be seated, and you can call in beforehand and make a reservation. I ordered the combination tofu soup - mild and it was good! It came with beef, clams and some shrimp. The soup was delicious and not too spicy. The tofu soups also come with complimentary purple rice and an egg to crack in it.

First time in this Korean restaurant. It was a little difficult finding parking in this area. Side dishes were good. The Korean pancakes were delicious. Short ribs were tasty. Cost $68 for comb lunch & pancakes. A little overpriced for the foods.

We came here for dinner a few weeks ago since I was craving for some tofu soup. The restaurant was pretty busy when we got in, which is always good to see. The service was good as well, super friendly and tried to make sure we weren't being neglected amongst all the other tables. We ordered the combination tofu soup, galbi, soy garlic chicken wings and some tteokbokki. The tofu soup was nice and hot, not too spicy and definitely satisfied my craving. Both the galbi and soy garlic chicken wings were really well seasoned. My boyfriend thought the tteokbokki was good (unfortunately for me, I'm not a big fan of rice cakes so I didn't partake). The portions were pretty big enough though some have mentioned that it's pricy. We had quite a bit of leftover even though I feel like we made a dent in the dishes. For what it is around this neighborhood I thought the food was good and authentic. Will definitely be back again when we crave for Korean food again!

They used to be good. But service sucks horribly now. I used to come here a lot the last few years. But my most recent trip here really turned me off of this restaurant. I wanted to meet up with my friends here since we haven't met each other for months. I suggested this place because I wanted some tofu. We came here at 7 on a Sunday night, the restaurant was not packed at all. There were lots of empty tables. We sat down and try to order, the waitess was kinda taking their sweet time serving us. They were rude and uncaring. Through out the dinner it took them forever to bring us our food, and didn't really care what we ordered and just wanted to get away from us. (I ordered Regular Chicken Tofu and my friend ordered the Regular Beef Tofu. When the waitess brough it to us, she just said "regular, regular". I ask was it Regular Beef or Regular Chicken? She just repeat "regular, regular". wtf???) On the other hand, there were a table of Korean diners and the waitess was so friendly and helpful to them. The difference was ridiculous. I still like the food but the terrible service just make me want to go somewhere else and never come back. Maybe that was why the restaurant was not packed. Because the terrible service drove away all the good paying customers.

Came here after hiking at Mussel Rock Park. There was no wait to get a table for our large group of 8-10. Service was quick and they checked on us multiple times! The food: I think everything was good except for the large soup we ordered (I forget the name but I labeled it in the pictures). This soup tasted extremely salty..We added water to the pot to dilute the taste but it didn't really help. Perhaps this was a one time mistake on adding too much salt when preparing it. Overall, still a good meal at a good location!

I always find myself coming back to this place time and time again. And I still find myself coming when they are about to close. We got seated immediately after 5 to 10 minutes of looking for parking (difficult to find parking in the area). Right away we got our side dishes which I love here. We did ask for more, and it took them slightly longer to bring them out but that's okay. We ordered a bibimbap, tofu soup, chicken wings, and galbi. Everything today tasted so good and satisfied. All my cravings. This was for three people and it would be too much if everyone had a small appetite. Maybe perfect for four people. Overall, I will still find myself coming back (I love the tea here)!

My go-to when I crave for seafood pancake and delicious banchans. I don't normally eat kimchi, but their kimchi tastes extra fermented and has a bubbly taste. Service is friendly and the food comes out quick and piping hot. If their prices weren't so steep, I would love to come here more often and try every single item. Bring cash for a 5% discount. I almost always get the seafood pancake and the tofu combo, which comes with a tofu soup and meat dish of your choice. Who doesn't like variety, the price to portion is more justifiable in my opinion. The beef tofu is full of flavor with plenty of ingredients and the galbi is extremely tender with the right balance of sweetness. There have been a couple times where the beef is overly charred, but the tofu soup never misses. Parking can be quite difficult, but the Safeway parking is in close proximity.

I've been coming to this place since it opened a decade ago. It's one of the better Korean restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, the service can get very hectic when it gets busy. I love that they give you banchan to wet your appetite. The restaurant is located on Southgate just west of the Westlake shopping center. Sure, there's plenty of places to eat in the mall, but this place is not mall food. The ambience is nothing special. It's all about the food. Nothing here is bad. My partner got the traditional rice cake soup and said it was delicious. My go to is the beef bibimbap. The price is on par with most place in the area.

Their soups are quite good, particularly their Kim chi chi gae (kimchi stew w/pork & tofu) & man doo gook (pork dumpling soup in beef broth). The soy garlic fried chicken is must have. Other dishes I've enjoyed is their bibimbap pork dolsot & broiled mackerel! So many other dishes I've yet to try though, but I'll be back. One thing they need to address is their blown out speakers. It's sounds terrible...and it only gets worse with every visit. The music is fine, but never on blown out speakers. I'd rather they just turn the music off than hear it crackling on blown speakers. It's just bad. One star down till they fix that. Otherwise the food & service is great.

Was near the Westlake Shopping Center in Daly City and craving for Korean food. Came across Dae Jang Geum Tofu House close by, near the Post Office. They opened at 11:00am for lunch, but we got there at 10:45, the server lets us in. We wanted to try something new outside of the Galbi short ribs we all love; so for my party of 3, we ordered the combination of tofu stew and Galbi, and the Seafood Dolsot. This is my first time eating tofu as a stew and it was surprisingly delicious! The Seafood Dolsot was plenty, just a tad spicy for me. In fairness, our server did ask how spicy we want it, probably next time, we will just keep it spicy as is. Galbi short ribs were tender. If you love Galbi that much then order the dinner portion; lunch portion may not enough for your craving. Overall food was great, place is somewhat dated but clean. Street Parking may be a challenge, but you can park at the Westlake Shopping Center a block away.

First time and what a nice find. They are located behind Westlake in a long street that has a few restaurants and other store fronts. Parking can be tough as you are in a residential neighborhood. Ambiance is casual with plenty of tables for various party sizes. Staff was friendly and service was efficient. Food was very good. Portion size was a bit larger than typical for Korean restaurants and that's a plus. Banchan was tasty with japchae noodles as an option. We got a second helping and staff had no issues accommodating our request. Tofu stew was flavorful and hearty. I love the red rice option and the combination dish offering. The stew and rib combo along with the tteokbokki is easily shared amongst 2 people w/ leftovers. Enjoy a wonderful meal at a wonderful place.

Great food, mediocre service! We went in a group of 6 so we go to try little bit of everything. This is a great place for comforting Korean food. Their side dishes are fresh and flavorful. Kimchi was very spicy, most of us couldn't handle it. Dduk Boln Ki - fish cake and rice cake with spicy sauce sauce wasn't good. It has way more rice cake compared to fish cake and sauce was not appealing. Pork dumpling tofu stew was my favorite. Beef tofu stew was also really good. Bibimbap chicken was very good. Marinated spicy pork was delicious, but slightly sweet. It is HUGE! We were so full by the time this arrived, we couldn't enjoy much. It was overall great experience. We all enjoyed warm Korean dinner for cold night. I was fulfilling and satisfying.

amazing vegetarian bibimbap! i wish the soups had veggie broth options but i'll take what i can get. it's hard to find places to trust as a vegetarian girly and this place definitely covers my cravings. banchan is delicious, tea is served instead of water, and i see ajummas here at all hours so you know it's legit. love coming here and bringing everyone i know is a goal!

This was my first time visiting Dar Jang Geum and I was pleasantly surprised the BBQ Kalbi was tender and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and savory soy sauce marinade. Overall, this is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Korean flavors in a cozy setting. I'll definitely be coming back!

A very nice, cozy sit down! The meal is very comforting on a cold day. Love all the banchan they serve. Recommend ordering their fried chicken--a personal favorite! The employees serve us well every time we come.

I came by with three others on a Saturday night and were seated immediately. It has a fair amount of tables available. The service and food is straightforward and easy to navigate. Their tofu stew is delicious and 10/10 recommend ordering it. Their tteokbokki is pretty spicy so keep that in mind. The japchae is great. Here's the thing, you cannot go wrong with this restaurant. Anything you order will be delicious and is authentic as ever. It has a super homey feeling, I'd come here again and again.

One of the tastiest tofu soups I've had in the bay!! My husband and I were looking for Korean spots close to the theaters in Daly City, and feel very lucky we found this spot. It's always a good sign when the banchan is tasty as well and they had a very tasty variety! The flavor of the soup was robust, and they actually put in proper spice for my extra spicy, which you can't often count on as restaurants tend to hedge on the spice levels. Only thing is if you sit at a table further from the service counter, it's a bit more difficult to grab their attention -- everyone's very friendly, but if you want something, you might need to put in a little work to get their attention. All that said, will definitely be back!

A solid 3. Parking around here is sooooo difficult 95% of the time. We came here around 7p on a Sunday and were seated right away. Service: 8/10. This is a restaurant ran by aunties so don't expect them to check in on you periodically throughout your dining time. You'd order, they'd deliver the food to you, and won't come by again until you're asking for your check. Food: 6/10. Food was just okay. Seafood pancakes- 6/10. Although serving was huge, it was actually pretty bland. Couldn't taste anything from this-- neither the vegetables nor the seafood. Oh, and "seafood" was literally just pieces of octopus here and there. Maybe rename it to octopus pancakes? Seafood soondubu- 6/10. Had to wait a while for this... about 30 minutes? We got medium spicy, and it had a nice kick to it but wasn't too bad. Tofu was cooked very nicely but then again, lacking in flavor. Very little amount of seafood as well-- 3 small shrimps and 4 tiny clams. Wasn't worth it since they charged more for seafood.

We came here around 11:15am and we are the only customers here. This restaurant is roomy and clean. Customer service is okay. Today we ordered the Seafood and Egg over Rice, Combination Tofu and Beef Short Ribs. It's came with six side dishes. The food was tasty, but the portion of the beef short ribs is small ($17 for six small pieces). I hope that they can give one or two more pieces. :) I love their Korean tea though.
