1. The soup is comforting, and the side dishes really complimented the soup! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes with a spacious interior! 3. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! Note: There is a restroom available for customers! Photo: Galbi Tofu Soup and Side Dishes

What’s not to love about kaju. My go to for Korean comfort food. I’m no expert but I know taste when I experience it and this place delivers a wonderful feel of a Korean grandmas home cooking… at least that’s what I imagine when I eat here… thank me later :)

We love dining at Kaju, especially for their delicious banchan and flavorful soups. Our go-to order is the set meal, which includes tofu soup and galbi ribs, along with an extra large soup—usually galbi soup, beef soup, or seafood soup, all of which we highly recommend. The banchan are refillable, and the service is always quick. We usually arrive before the rush, so we never have to wait for a table.

It was my first time coming here. I was Greeted by everyone and then auntie assisted me to sit down. I was Greeted by one of the waiters and he recommended i get the ham and cheese tofu soup and the special with bulgogi since I had a hard time choosing what I wanted. Their fried coconut shrimp was so crunchy and delicious. I was so excited to have all the ban chans so many dishes and flavors. They even gave me a big bowl of rice in stone pot very traditional. I enjoyed the service and atmosphere. Everyone here is very polite and kind they make sure to take care of you. They have a few selections will come back here soon. If your are in the area go show your support you won't be dissapointed

This Korean restaurant is located right next to H Mart, a spot I've passed by many times but never actually tried—until now. Despite picking a non-peak time, my friend and I still had to wait around 10 mins. Here's what we ordered: - **Grilled Mackerel** – $22.99 - **Mushroom Tofu Soup** – $16.99 - **Tofu Protein Combo** (Spicy Pork + Kimchi Soup) – $23.99 For a group of four, our total came to $64 before tip, $80 including the tip. I’d say this was pretty reasonable. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly. We definitely will be back! 📍 **Kaju Soft Tofu Restaurant - 가주순두부** 8895 Garden Grove Blvd, Garden Grove, CA 92844 Another location in Buena Park: 📍 7232 Orangethorpe Ave, Buena Park, CA 90621

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Parking: 2/5 Family friendly: 4/5 Stroller friendly: 3/5 ADA accessible: 3/5 My daughter loves coming here for dinner. She especially loves the little robot server. I think we've narrowed it down to what we like and how much we order is just enough for the 4 of us. My daughter is a big fan of the tofu soup. As am I. We usually get the meal that comes with bulgogi beef and small tofu soup and then we'll order a Big spicy tofu soup for the wife and I. The service here is good, and the Banchan is good also. Plus, I do like that the rice comes in individual pots. Parking is kind of a pain because it's in a strip mall so sharing with so many other shops. Come check out the place if you're in the area.

We have been here a few times and thoroughly enjoy our food and sides. It’s a quick place to grab a bite and the little robot is always a hoot with my kid. It is basic decor inside and sound level can get loud when busy (always).

Easily my most favorite spot to get Korean food. In particular the spicy beef tofu soup. There is nothing better than seeing that bubbling hot stone pot come out and you know you are about to be beyond satisfied. I always get the soup very very spicy, which is spicy, but does not take away from the overall flavor of the soup. I enjoy mine with rice and fish cakes. Love all the employees too and they always make sure I have everything I need. Apps are delicious!!!!!

Food: Food here is delicious! I love their tofu soup and galbi. Service: The service is the only thing lacking here in my opinion. Really hard to flag someone down for what we need and our order also came out wrong. We ordered galbi and received bulgigi instead.

My favorite tofu spot of all time! I always order the Galbi tofu soup very very spicy -- it packs the perfect amount of heat and flavor. In my opinion, it's far better than BCD. The flavor here is just unmatched. The only thing BCD has going for it is the whole fish side dish, but since I'm not a fan of fish, that's not a big draw for me. One thing that really sets Kaju apart is offering Galbi with their tofu soup. Most places just have regular beef (which they also offer), but Galbi takes it to another level -- it's my go-to. Their side dishes are also great, especially the cucumber, which is my favorite. And if you've got the appetite, definitely try the fried dumplings -- they're worth it!

Came here a bit after 5pm on a Saturday. The place was 70% full and we got seated immediately. I ordered the pork tofu soup in medium spicy which was delicious. It wasn't too spicy but still had the kick I wanted. I really like how Kaju does the crispy rice. The service was pretty good and we refilled our banchans twice. For the first time coming back in a few years (after all the other tofu spots prices caught up to kaju) this place is still consistently good. Just make sure you come here a bit early to beat the lines because every time I pass by around dinner time theres a line out the door.

This location is definitely extremely popular! We had over a 40 minute wait at 9:30 pm, which we were expecting! Service was a bit lacking but can partially be because of how busy they were! I got a text saying my table was ready and the lady inside told me to wait outside. We had to wait an extra 5-10 minutes, and they sat the four of us at a shared table with a random group of people. We had barely checked the menu before someone asked us to place our order. It was confusing because two different people were helping us but they were not communicating with each other. One brought out drinks, and then the other lady didn't know and had also brought out drinks. Our food came out quickly and was very tasty, but they did not take out the rice for us like they usually do, and the lid for the rice pots were very hot. When it came time for the check, both ladies again did not communicate and each dropped off the receipt. We ended up with two receipts at the table, and then did not know who to give our cards to. Overall, service was confusing but food was good.

Friday night and had cravings for tofu soup so the wife and I decided to try this place out. The tofu soup is pretty good 9/10 and the side dishes were very good 9/10. The beef bulgogi didn't have much flavor so I give that 6/10. Wife liked this place better than BCD because of the side dishes. I still like BCD better lol. The service was awesome. I didn't know that they give the big stone rice pot one per two people because I was used to BCD giving one per person but the lady gave me an extra bowl of rice on the house. The place is really clean and the place is busy since it's next to the H mart. Don't worry about the parking because spaces were easy to find since it's a big parking lot.

hands down my favorite place to get tofu soup and galbi! their side dishes are the best, I can literally eat the side dishes as a meal LOL! perfect to share for two ppl when u get the combo! Inside is very organized and quick! staff is accommodating and always refilling our side dishes!

Came here for lunch with my coworkers. We each had the lunch special! The service was great during lunch. I got the kimchi tofu soup with beef and beef bulgogi (I believe it was lunch special D). Great portions for the price! I ended up taking my beef bulgogi home because I was so full! For the tofu soup, you can pick your spice level and I went with medium. We got there a few minutes before opening and was seated right away. As we were eating, the restaurant got really busy! Def recommend this spot.

The place serves soft tofu soups and not much else. But they do it very well. We ordered four different tofu soups: beef, mushroom, seafood, and assorted (seafood plus beef). Each soup is $18 and comes with a raw egg (which you can crack into the soup). They bring stone pots full of rice and an assortment of refillable banchan for the table. My favorites were the cucumber and the fish cake. The soups were great, coming to the table scalding hot, with aggressive columns of steam rising up. Enjoy them one careful sip at a time, with a spoonful of rice, a piece of kimchi, or however else you like. They're located in a mall next to an H-Mart, so there is plenty of parking available. They do get busy though, so try to get here a little early and join the Yelp waitlist (only possible in person, not through the app).

I've been coming here since I was a teenager back in the days. It has expanded a bit, which I'm glad, however the soft tofus taste still remain the same. If looking for tasty soft tofu in any flavor I recommend. I have to say it's probably the best one in GG. You can't go wrong with any of your soft tofu choices.

Kaju is a Korean comfort staple in Orange County. The Garden Grove location is situated within the plaza where the H-Mart is. There is a lot of parking but during dinner time it can get packed and you may have to park farther away. The service is fast and the waiters are friendly. Additionally they were accommodating to our party and we were seated fast! Overall Kaju has the best Korean Tofu soup in OC and it's definitely worth it. As you get a warm filling soup, with sides and rice. Which pairs perfectly with meal. You can't go wrong with any soups but if in doubt get the assorted. Additionally the value you are paying is worth as you are able to get a filling meal with the amount you pay for.

Service was great. Quick from ordering to getting your food. It is located in a nice plaza that has other places to shop if they are busy. I'm giving 4/5 because I felt the spice levels were a little underrepresented. I got a medium but it wasn't really spicy at all and I felt that it was a little watered down. There is a lot of meat and other seafood in there. The chicken bulgolgi had similar issues, but the grilled onions on the bottom gave it the flavor needed!

Kaju Soft Tofu in Garden Grove never disappoints. This is one of my go-to spots whenever I'm craving something warm, comforting, and flavorful. The soondubu (soft tofu soup) here is absolutely delicious; perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spice, and it always comes out piping hot just the way it should. The side dishes (banchan) are fresh and tasty, and I love that they're always quick to refill them if you ask. The rice comes in the traditional stone pot, giving you that nice crispy layer at the bottom which I always look forward to. Service is consistently great: friendly, fast, and attentive even when the restaurant is busy. The place gets packed during dinner hours, but the team keeps everything moving smoothly without making you feel rushed. If you're looking for authentic, no-fuss Korean comfort food, this is the place. Always hits the spot!

After a long day of driving in the cold (and the drive back from a Laker game) my brother and I were craving some delicious tofu soup. Kaju always hits the spot if you're looking for some warm,savory soup and some great ban chan! Just to let you know it does typically start to get busy at 6pm - but we got there around 5pm and were seated promptly. Food always hits the spot, and has remained consistent over the years. Ambiance has been the same from the last couple of years I've gone - so no updates there!

Super recommend this place! This is one of the best boiled tofu places I've been to in a while. The banchan is such high quality and they serve it to you endlessly if you want. I got the galbi boiled tofu and I enjoyed every bite. The bulgogi and spicy bulgogi were also super tasty. Service is quick and there is plenty of seating. They were nice and gave us the lunch special price even though we came a little afterwards. Ambiance is casual

It has been great experience dining in here. Was wondering what makes this place so crowded compared to other korean resto in the area. First off, there is the delish anchovies that I never found in other Korean Restaurant thus far, hot stone rice, as for Kaju Bibimbap, to me taste is decent, it served with gocujhang red sauce. The ahjuma staffs were nice. Foods were served quick every request was given in timely manner. Decor is quite interesting to me with the wallpaper of Korean letters, looks so sacred.

Description: A super solid Korean soft tofu soup place that rivals BCD! Upon arriving at this restaurant, I was transported to the traditional Korean restaurant scenery complimented with brush paintings and totem pole like statues. The waitresses were relatively quick to seat us and take our order. The food was delicious and truly warmed my soul. We started off the meal with some banchan of kimchi, cucumbers, mashed potatoes, small fish, fish tofu, and bean sprouts. Unlike BCD, there was no large fried fish. We then had the main dishes of assorted tofu soup and galbi. Though the quality was lower in terms of flavor, the quantity was really good for the price. I have never seen galbi in such a big portion size! We literally left the restaurant with half the galbi in a to-go container! Definitely would say this is the up and coming Korean tofu place in OC!

What I ordered: - Set C including galbi and kimchi oyster tofu soup A frequent food spot of mine! Kaju has multiple locations and various tofu soup (soondubu) combinations. Spice level can be adjusted from mild to triple spicy with the options including galbi, kimchi pork, and seafood to name a few. Each tofu soup comes with an egg to add, banchan (Korean side dishes), and a stone pot of rice. My personal favorite is the kimchi oyster tofu soup due to the added depth of richness from the kimchi compared to other options. Quality of the banchan is amazing, very fresh and flavorful (my favorite kimchi). I highly recommend ordering the Set C if you're really hungry, it comes with a small tofu soup and slices of tender galbi. If you do plan on visiting, join their Yelp waitlist from your phone before arriving because wait times are usually high at night!

We have come here many times since my last review and I think it's about time I updated my review. We got into the habit of coming here to take food to go on our days working. Husband always orders a small intestine tofu soup and I get the combo c for lunch that comes with a small tofu soup (I love the oyster one) and a small galbi side dish. It's always delicious and always filling. It's just perfect for us. They have a machine by the door for to-go orders and they have a loyalty program with Toast. I still love the atmosphere inside it's just so beautifully decorated. I love that it pays homage to Korea. Anyway, this place is highly recommended -- eating in or taking to-go.

Got the combo tofu soup in very very spicy and it had a nice kick prior to the addition of rice. But after adding my rice the spicy flavor went down. The banchan were decent and they had a good variety & luckily had about 2-3 that I really enjoy. My sister and I really enjoyed our food. Service was decent, they were quite busy so they didn't check in on us that often. The check was very high tech and you can pay via QR code so that was very nice and convenient.

Poor service - BCD is wayy better. Was super disappointed by the food and service, side dishes weren't great either. The napkins they gave us were dirty and it was difficult to get someone attention, we saw the robot doing more than the staff. I don't expect amazing service, but they wouldn't even say thank you back and would ignore us if we asked for more banchan. Waitlist to sit was about 20 minutes on a Tuesday night. Very uncomfortable experience: took forever to get our bill and the server pressured us into tipping on the kiosk and physically stood behind me and told me to leave a cash tip before leaving. They literally didn't do anything so no tip! And that's coming from someone who served for years. I always order ham and cheese and liked how they used real cheese! But it tasted like tomato soup and not like an Asian soup at all. My friend ordered very spicy level and it was so foul because you can chew the chili flakes and it was so thick.

TLDR; food is decent, banchan with little fish is good, service is ok but they are clearly understaffed; bathroom is really sticky and gross This is a homey tofu soup restaurant that is quite popular. The side dishes (banchan) varied in quality; the little fish were good, but the potato and kimchi were a bit bland. Cucumber kimchi was good, and the soup was decent -- when I asked for extra spicy, they made the soup thicker with gochugaru (Korean pepper flakes) instead of just adding capsaicin. They are quite busy though so service was minimal. Bathroom was awful -- smelled gross, was somehow sticky and slippery at the same time (straight up wet).

Not as good as BCD Tofu House. I ate here on Tuesday, April 22, 2025 at around 6 PM. First of all, Kaju is around the same price as BCD. The side dishes were not as fresh as BCD. Their kimchi tasted like the same type of kimchi you buy from a jar at the Asian market. The potato salad good but basically I like the sides at BCD bettThe rice was burned on the bottom of the hot pot. They don't give you a small fried fish here like they do at BCD. What they have here and what I got was the Galbi Tofu Soup, which was somewhat bland and didn't have the same flavor and taste as the tofu soups at BCD. The soup tasted watered down. I'd say portion size, there was about 2 bbq short ribs that were cut in pieces in the tofu soup. But there was a lot of tofu, but very little green onions. I sat down for about 15-20 mins after being seated and the waitress did take my order, but forgot to enter it in the system so she came back and took my order again. I'm not sure if I'll come back here since it's the same prices as BCD, which is just 5 mins away from them. Plus, you get better tasting food at BCD, they are open very late, and you get more for your money. Maybe I'll give Kaju another try and order their Galbi bbq a la carte next time and see how it taste compared to BCD. I had a large bottle of water which was great, but no ice in the cup. The waitresses were busy but they seemed nice so I'm giving this Kaju location 3 stars.

1. The tofu soup was delicious and comforting! The side dishes were generous! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! 3. There are plenty of indoor seatings! No outdoor seatings! 4.

My absolute FAVORITE place to eat at in Orange County! I've been to the Garden Grove and the Buena Park location. The Buena Park location is a bit more roomy then the Garden Grove location. You'll have to join the waitlist once you enter the restaurant. You'll either get a text notification or a host will call your name when your table is ready. I usually order the vegetarian soup with mild spice. It comes with veggies and tofu. You're served with a hot bowl of rice with other sides like eggs to add to your soup. They also have other sides kimchi, pickled cucumber, fish cakes, bean sprouts, potato salad, anchovy banchan which are free to refill. Kaju never disappoints when I come for a bite to eat. If you're looking for something hot and spicy, try Kaju!

If you show up during peak hours at Kaju tofu without joining the waitlist, you might as well bring a sleeping bag--but trust me, it's worth it. While you're waiting, keep an eye out for the adorable robot server rolling by like it's auditioning for Wall-E. Pro tip: swap out your basic white rice for the purple rice--it's got more nutrients and more flavor. I'm obsessed with the cucumber salad and fish cake side dishes, and here's the best part: refills are free, so go ahead and live your best side dish life.

Had to wait for a while but it was expected on a Friday night. This is my go to soft tofu spot but I did think it wasn't exactly as good as usual, probably because of how busy it was. I shared the chicken bulgogi and tofu soup combo with my friend along with an extra pot of rice, and I think it's the perfect amount. Spicy chicken bulgogi: 5/5 Kimchi tofu soup: 4/5. Good but the kimchi flavor wasn't that strong

Service was fantastic during lunch. And the lunch special have a good amount of food for $24.99. I got the vegetarian dumpling soup (white because I cannot handle any spicy stuff) and it was delish. The bulgogi was very tasty too. Rice portion was good for there but def not enough to take home with my leftover bulgogi. Will definitely head back

This was the perfect comfort meal for a summer night after a day of outings. Do yourself a favor and put your name on the waitlist online and browse through Hmart next door--a time saver! I loved the variety of the soondobu, banchan, and the hot stone entrees. The flavors were pretty mild compared to other places but the quality and the variety of the menu items made it worth it. My fav was definitely the galbi tofu soup with the galbi combo!

This definitely hits the spot when you're in the mood for tofu soup. The side dishes are good- the spicy cucumbers are amazing! The rice they bring out in stone pot doesn't have a burnt bottom.... They don't even have barley tea here. Sad. (This makes it -1 star) - Dumplings 2.1/5 The beef dumplings were okay, slightly below average. Wouldn't get again. - Small Intestine Tofu Soup combo w/ beef bulgogi 5/5 *triple spicy* The triple spicy is VERY spicy. I think it takes away from the taste of the actual soup. It contains so much red pepper that there's barely any broth. Still really good though. The small intestine doesn't smell. I'd definitely try this again but maybe less spicy, so there's an actual broth and actual taste to the soup. - Bulgogi 2.1/5 It was okay. Small pieces, tasted ok... Free parking in lot.

Went looking for some authentic Korean food during a trip to Southern Cali earlier this year. After navigating to and through Garden Grove, we settled into a strip mall parking lot, where surprisingly there wasn't a line queued up yet on this Friday evening. Likely attributed to the fact that it was about 4:30pm. We were seated immediately and after perusing the menu, I settled on their Kimchi Tofu soup, and I shared their Kaju Beef Bibimbap stone pot. The Tofu soup was so rich and flavorful, without being too spicy and the Bibimbap was one of the best I've had(it's all about the type of rice they use for me). The side dishes(Ban Chan) were one of the best sets I've had as well. The interior is full of dark rich woods, and the speckled brown tabletops go well with the rest of the motif. Service was efficient, polite, and I couldn't ask for more. There is a little robot helper that delivers some of the dishes to the patrons, which should make you smile or maybe terrify you.

Its home food. Been here for years since I was a little kid. It's just real nice and cozy and everything is chill, you can always enjoy the chatter in the restaurant. The waiters are always moving around refreshing water and side dishes. They also got a fun little robot going around delivering your dishes. My go to order is usually the Combo Set D.

Love this place! Food is always consistently good. I always get the seafood bibimbap and the veggie dumpling soup. The service is decent, definitely not high touch and super attentive but it gets the job done. The ambiance isn't what you're going for - you're going to eat good food!!

10/10!! The food was amazing, i got the beef soon tofu soup and it comes with rice and a ton of sides for the dish. Price is understandable and honestly good for the amount you get. The service was great, and the restaurant was clean and very comfortable. For authenticity, I would recommend!!!

The debate is always Kaju or BCD ??! I prefer the soup at Kaju, it is more flavorful and the prices seem a little cheaper compared to BCD. The side dishes here are always consistent and not as salty as BCD. If you order items other than soup, it can take awhile to come out. Good amount of seating, I recommend joining the Yelp waitlist as lines can get long. ig: @cravingswithcat

Ordered takeout recently and their new AI ordering system was pretty good and easy to use. It takes just a bit longer than talking to someone on the phone and it can't process substitutions. If you just want to place simple orders, this is useful and you won't need to wait for someone to answer the phone. I liked it a lot. And of course, Kaju's food never disappointed me. Will order again.

Always come back to this place for some comfort food on the cold weather days. I prefer Kaju over BCD for some reason. This location is always packed but the line moves fast. The servers are usually very attentive.

Great food. Cozy restaurant. Fast and friendly service. Menu is easier to navigate than other nearby tofu soup restaurants. They have a cute robot deliver your food too. Tofu and protein combo is plenty for two people to share. The combo comes with all the side dishes, a stone pot of rice, and a raw egg to crack into your boiling hot tofu soup. We added a bowl of multigrain rice which tasted great.

I've been wanting to try this place and finally got to! Staff were great, they have a big dining area. One of the first tofu spots I've seen that bring your meal using the robot server, I normally only see it at a Korean bbq spot. We got the tofu soup combo with kalbi and it was okay, flavor was good. The sides/banchan was delicious! The bibimbap was also okay--not the standout of the meal but still decent. It was filling and had a good mix of ingredients, but it lacked a bit of the bold flavor. It's good to try but probably wouldn't be my first choice.

Kaju Soft Tofu in Garden Grove is a great place for some comforting soondobu and delicious bibimbap! With its cozy atmosphere and friendly service, I would definitely recommend it. Try to get on the Yelp waitlist ahead of time if you are planning to dine in for dinner because it does get busy and there will be a wait. We ordered the dinner special with galbi and assorted tofu soup, kaju bibimbap, and mushroom bibimbap. All tasted so good and were piping hot in the stone bowls. The banchan were all great, as well. I didn't know until we saw the menu that they have other locations. I would for sure want to try some of the other locations.

Kaju is one of my favorite go-to spots for Korean food in the area! I've been taken friends here many times and it's always a hit. Their soondubu is the ultimate comfort food, but you can't go wrong with anything else on the menu. My favorites things to order are the bibimbap dishes and galbi. I also love the variety of banchan that's provided here too. Service is really great, especially when it comes to how packed this place gets. I highly recommend joining the Yelp waitlist ahead of time because the wait can get pretty long.

Wow the food was amazing! Definitely similar to BCD Tofu House but this place felt more cozier.

Ordered online for pickup. Food was made pretty fast, so can't complain there. I am usually a BCD Tofu House girly, but wanted to try this place out because I was having a hard day, and it was next to H-Mart and I was doing a grocery run. I love trying out new places, so I took the chance on this place! I ordered online from their website, and came in to pick up. The restaurant is small, and they had one of those robots going around the restaurant delivering food items. Personally, that robot takes up space. The workers are already working hard and moving so fast already. When I got home and tried the food, I came to the conclusion that I enjoy the galbi + sides more at BCD. The meat was too chewy, thick and a bit hard to swallow. The soup was good, but wasn't as flavorful (which is okay cause I can add soy sauce or salt myself). But it was a good try.

Food was alright, we had purple rice in a bowl, tofu sea foods, BBQ short ribs, and drink. They have a variety famous dishes, we didn't order. Service was ok always rushing, it's a busy restaurant I assumed. It's a small place and simple but clean.

Kaju is a place I could eat everyday. 10/10 EVERYTHING. I never get tired of kaju and always crave it. This place never misses on food or service. It does get busy sometimes but it makes sense because of how amazing it is! Overall great vibes too with the Korean art on the walls too! LOVE THIS PLACE! If you think you love BCD, just come and try this and your mind will change in a heartbeat! MUST TRY RESTAURANT!
