Tofu House is a small restaurant in Korea Town (Houston has korean restaurants all bunched up near long point and the spring branch area, so this small area I would consider it koreatown.) It was my first time here.
Food: [description, flavor notes, rating, and if i'd get it again]
Spicy Chicken + Tofu Soup (medium spice) Combo:
Spicy Chicken
- Thin sliced chicken with a sweet spicy gochujang based sauce sat on a bed of onions.
- Not spicy at all, sweet, refreshing sharpness from the onions
- 5.7/10
- it's good, but i'd try something else next time
Tofu Soup (medium spice level)
- Soft tofu stew with beef cubes, tofu, and egg.
- Not very spicy, hot, comforting, hearty, savory umami, kimchi tangy
- 8.2/10
- I liked it and would get it again!
Comes with banchan - soy glazed potato, kimchi, cucumber, fishcake, bean sprouts, and brocolli
Good portions and great combo deal! They also bring out barley tea and pour it into the hot stone rice bowl to make a "dessert". It tastes just like tea and rice; not sweet.
Service + Ambiance: [timeliness, vibes]
20 minutes for food to come out. Nice waiters. Casual, quiet place. Not many customers. Very cold inside though. Bring a jacket.
Overall, Tofu House is a small no frills korean restaurant. It is good, but I think there are other better Korean restaurants in Houston that i'd rather go to. I would go again if someone wanted to, but I wouldn't go on my own proactively.
