Tofu Village

Summary: depending on what you get, can be such a filling and yummy meal easily shared across multiple people Food: plenty of options to choose from but if you want a bang for your buck, get one of the combo meals like the beef bulgogi with a soup of your choice (beef or scallop soup are good options). The portions are huge with plenty of refillable banchans (just ask) with one of the side dish even being a fish! Personal recommendation is the beef bulgogi bimbap or the beef bulgogi itself as it was flavorful. Also fav part of this place is how they give yakult at the end! Price: definitely worth or reasonable depending on what you get. Expect between the ranges of $17-25 Service: our servers were always friendly and helpful. Since it’s a busy area, expect a decent time of waiting Atmosphere: plenty of seating arrangements that can accommodate small to big parties. Noise level is decent depending on how busy it gets. Only issue I have is the decor as I feel like it can def be redecorated better to not have a clustered or old vibe to it. Note: would not recommend #37 as the dish was kinda tasteless and was not that good. Nor the black bean noodles as it was too sweet

Excellent Korean Restaurant that is well worth the reputation. They prices are fair for the portion of the main dish and it comes with a hefty number of amazing sides that can be reordered as wanted for free. It’s an excellent place to have a family style or individual classic Korean dishes and the staff are very nice. The space is small and it gets filled up quickly, but not as much as some of the other restaurants in the area. Would recommend and will be going back to.

This is in Dun Huang Plaza, so parking will be a nightmare. It’s hard because almost everything here is GOOD. Tofu village? EXCEPTIONAL. The food was SO tasty! But honestly, I got full with JUST the “little” side dishes! So many, so varied, so tasty, and so perfect with everything I ordered! I did not wait more than 5min’s to be seated and the staff brought everything out without making me wait as if they’d gone out to slaughter the cow. I forgot my wallet 🫣 but the young man in the cashier area was very kind and patient about my options if I had my cards on my phone. He was very helpful and everyone was very patient and generous with this delighted diner! Definitely thinking about what I’ll have next time, Gw.

I haven’t dined in at this place for a long time. Today I had lunch with my friend here. We ordered out of lunch special. I had seafood bento box and she had beef bento box. Everything was delicious. There were variety of food along with salad and soup. The soup was a bit too salty to my liking but it was not a big deal. The price was reasonable with the quantity you get. The waitress and busboy were polite and served us well. I highly recommend this place if you crave Korean food 😋

Great customer service. Food was delicious! So many yummy side dishes. They gave us extra side dishes bc the other table couldn’t reach.

I was skeptical from reading the negative reviews before visiting Tofu Village, so i came in with low expectation to have lunch with my friend. But the experience was wayyyyy better than i thought. The restaurant was not busy on a Wednesday at 1pm. The servers were very friendly and nice. The restaurant was cleaned and the vibe was very Korea, with Kpop playing in the background and on the TV, brought back the memories when i was in Korea last year. Let's talk about food. We ordered quite a lot cuz we're hungry lol. Both of us got the Tofu soup combo (Tofu soup + BBQ), and a tokbokki came with many other side dishes (a big mackerel was one of them!). Food came out quickly, tasted authentic to me. I love the chewiness of the tokbokki and also love the rice was served in a small stone pot to keep it warm longer. Overall, I love Tofu Village and will definitely come back to try other food they have! Highly recommend!

dont understand the 4.2 stars… this place offers so many options of food and great combinations. i love coming here for korean food. the ladies are very sweet and make sure your well fed.

We found a piece of wire from a dish scrubber in our food. When we called the server over, she simply said, “I am sorry, OK,” which was very rude and unfriendly. When we first came in, we felt the restaurant had a nice vibe, but everything that followed completely changed our impression. First, there was no service at all — the server handed out napkins to everyone except us. When we started ordering, we had only mentioned two dishes when she abruptly asked, “Is that all?” with zero enthusiasm or friendliness. This was the worst restaurant experience we’ve ever had. Bad food, bad service! Please don’t expect too much if you decide to come here.

Tofu village is such a warm and comforting spot! Been coming to this place since high school. Service and food are still just as good as I remember. I always love the countless side dishes they provide with the meal. They are very generous when it comes to that. I got the bibimbap, and while it was yummy, I feel like the stone pot could've been hotter cuz usually the rice that is directly touching the surface becomes scorched. I didn't get that this time, and I look forward to eating that part the most. It's okay though! The meal was super filling and satisfying. My friends and I had a great time hanging out at tofu village & we ended with a Yakult. The inside wasn't loud or crowded. The parking lot was a bit crazy though and I had to park pretty far back.

Food is pretty good for the price and portions are decent. We got the mushroom tofu soup and the kimchi jjigae. It comes out really hot and fast despite it usually being busy. The sides come out fast and they give you a wide variety. They also give you a salad with dressing and a small fried fish. I always go here for Korean food when I come back home to Houston since it's super convenient due to its location in the plaza (located around a bunch of cute shops and dessert places). If you're looking for a place to chat it might be a little loud due to the large amount of customers. Other than that service is really fast and the workers are kind/they give you free yakult.

First time, and also last time coming into this establishment. I've eaten at hundreds of different restaurants, and I don't think I've ever had a roach in my food until today. I took a single bite from my beef bulgogi, and on my 2nd portion I placed in my rice bowl, saw a roach staring at me. It was addressed to the manager, who promptly took care of it, but tried to play it off saying "oh it was in the onion" like that makes a difference? There's a roach in my food still? Just goes to show you the back must be disgusting for a roach to be even near food, let alone being cooked in a dish or falling into it.

Tofu village is a good place to go with friends. Whenever we're in Chinatown, this restaurant is one of our go-tos. The friendly service, cherry interior and spaciousness, despite the crowd, makes it a nice place to hang out- especially for a pre-karaoke meal. The food itself is very tasty. I like the seafood dol sot bibimbap. I like rice dishes, and the various seafood and vegetables that I get to mix make the dish fun to eat. The meat and seafood is well cooked and the portion sizes are pretty generous for the reasonable price. What really impresses me though, are the side dishes. A variety of kimchi and fish and other sides are given with each meal, which serves to enhance the experience. Our hostess also gave us all complementary yakult yogurt drinks at the end of the meal which were sooo refreshing. Now parking is pretty hard to find, which is a general difficulty with the area. This can sometimes make it hard to make it in, but it is definitely worth it!

I love tofu village. Been coming here for almost 20 years now. What more can I say? You have to come try it for yourself

I was here for the 713 day on 7/13. It's a day we should all go out to support the local restaurants. I chose Tofu Village because the lights were on for few days after Hurricane Beryl's power outage. I also love Korean food. I think this is one of first Korean restaurants in Chinatown. Being at Dun Huang Plaza is a blessing because of the parking situation. Especially, during weekday dinner time, I didn't have to walk far to find parking. Once I walked in, a gentleman greeted me and handed me a menu. I checked the prices. Wow. They were really reasonable. So, I asked to sit down. The waitress came so quickly, I didn't get a chance to pull out my phone to check on reviews. My seafood tofu soup was great. There were lots of bunchas and an egg came to my surprise. The price was reasonable for the amount of food I got. I would definitely come back to try other dishes with my friends.

Always a great place for casual Korean food. Service is quick and food is great! Always busy on the weekends so get here early! Hint: They open by 1030am.

If you love BCD Tofu House, you have to come here as the food and service is almost identical! Every entree comes with a bowl of rice, lots of banchan, and if you get the split combo, you can get a tofu soup and meat! I highly recommend the LA galbi and spicy pork bulgogi! Cooked and seasoned very well, and we ended up having to take home leftovers because it was so much! The only downside is we wish they gave us a bit more rice because another bowl of rice is an extra surcharge.

Serving a good variety of Korean dishes at very reasonable prices, Tofu Village in Houston provided our family of four a complete, delicious meal with a variety of banchan, soups, and rice. I was visiting Houston to see the Bears-Texans game on Sunday night. We wanted to eat before the game, so my brother, sister-in-law decided to come to Tofu Village where their son had eaten before with his college friends. He has good taste in terms of what is good Korean food at good value (considering he lived there for many years). Tofu Village is in a large multi-story strip mall, which has a large surface lot. It was pretty full with a few cars always circling to get a good spot. My brother found one, walked a bit to the restaurant and was seated right away. It took us a bit to order, since the menu is large. Each of us ended up ordering our comfort food, since Korean cuisine is something we are all very familiar with. SIL got DolSotBiBimBop ($14.99) - This was the most disappointing part I think. It came with ground beef (instead of bulgogi) but had nice selection of vegetables. The biggest issue is that they had not heated up the stone bowl fiery enough, so it ended up no different if she had ordered the bibimbop in a steel bowl. The result was the the rice had the bottom did not become caramelized/burnt which is the reason she loves this dish so much. The hot sauce was given in a ketchup bottle, so everyone could use it as well. Bro got Non Spicy Pork ($19.99) - Excellent. Initially, I thought the cuts were beef, in that they were so smokey (in a good way) and had been cooked with minimum seasoning to really accentuate the quality of the meat. It was served on a fajita skillet and had been grilled expertly. This is a great dish and would be the perfect filling for Ssam. Nephew got Kimchi ChiGae ($13.99) - it looked good. Kinda hard to mess up chigae as long as you use extra fermented kimchi and good amount of fatty pork. Seafood Tofu Soup ($13.99) - I asked for it mild, and it still had a decent amount of flavor. The dish was good and had plenty of seafood, including two big pieces of oysters. Unlike the bibimbop, this did come with the bowl scalding and the soup bubbling like crazy. With the rice, it's a very good comfort dish for me, and this iteration was fine. We also got a Seafood pancake ($15.99) - It was OK, nothing to write too much about. Our meal came with a ton of extras. - Each person got a small salad: iceberg lettuce leaves, carrot shreds in a thousand island type dressing. - We got well cooked rice in individual stone bowls with a few peas on top...I'm wondering if the rice was cooked in the bowl itself. It's a very nice touch. - The korean side dishes were solid. The kimchi cucumber and napa kimchi were OK. The spicy potato looked like radish, but were instead potatoes and tasty. There was also a croquette looking dish, that none of us tried. Even though there was only 4 banchans, they were all of quality and good places to start for someone who might not have tried them before. - Everyone got a small, battered, deep fried croaker. I was surprised when my nephew finished his...it's kinda of a pain in the ass to eat since you have to pick out the bones for just a small amount of meat. My brother reminded me that that was a tradition when they lived in Korea since most food vendors provide that as a side for a lot of dishes. - At the end, each person got a small bottle of korean yogurt. It does help with digestion, but I've found that as I get older, it can also cause unwanted visits to the bathroom, which could not be afforded if going to a crowded sporting event. I later learned from my brother that the total was around $100, with tip and that there were no additional add-on costs, even though we thought we got quite a few extras. That's nice at a time where a lot of Asian restaurants charge fees for things that were included before. Service was very good throughout. We didn't need refill on banchan, but our water glasses were kept full throughout. And since it wasn't so busy inside, having a conversation at normal decibel was easy. It was an excellent way to fill up before we went to the game (where we do any food would be intentionally overpriced).

This is my go-to place my friends and I go to when we crave Korean food. I highly recommend getting the dol sot bi bim bab if you are a fan of rice with beef and vegetables. They provide a gochujang sauce that I love combining for an extra kick of spice and flavor if you have a good spice tolerance. There are also many amazing complimentary and refillable sides to enjoy with your meal with notable mentions being the fish cake and potatoes. The establishment is fairly spacious and usually there is not much of a wait time but sometimes at peak dinner times the whole restaurant can get filled and wait times can be very long. The servers are very sweet and attentive especially with refilling our sides. Our food was also brought out in a fairly quick manner and I love how we are given complimentary Yakult drinks with our meal. They also offer a stamp card if you pay with cash and you can get a discount on your next meal once you hit the required stamp numbers.

Perfect comfort meal. Usually very busy but can still get seating fairly quick. Can be difficult to get staff's attention sometimes but they're walking around every so often to refill the delicious sides.

Tofu Village is the perfect place to go if you are looking for classic Korean food in a casual atmosphere. I'd highly recommend any of the tofu soups - the flavors of the broth and texture of the tofu are perfect! The sides are fresh, and the service is fast and attentive!

My family and I come here often, at least once every 1-2 months. It's located in a very busy Asian food complex so parking can be difficult at prime time, but you can definitely find many places to visit in the same area. The staff are always nice! They are always engaging with my kids. One server even took very good care of my toddler every time he handed the server his empty bowl or cup to be refilled with water. Definitely a family friendly place. The restrooms are single occupancy so sometimes you'll have to wait your turn but it is clean. The food is consistently delicious. We always get marinated beef short ribs, seafood tofu soup mild spicy level, Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab, jap chae noodles & chicken skewers. Mild spicy level gives a pretty good kick already. You get a complimentary salad to start then they provide several side dishes which are free to refill and a small fish (careful it has a lot of tiny bones). I also recommend the seafood pancake and stir spicy pork. I definitely recommend to check the place out!

One of our favorite restaurants in chinatown by far! This place never disappoints. We tend to eat early dinners here because of how busy it can get, and the service is always great! Really enjoy all of the side dishes, especially the potatoes and kimchi. Our go-to order is the seafood pancake, which is huge and perfect to share as an appetizer! There's a ton of indoor seating, and it's quiet enough to hear everyone at your table. The tables and floors are clean, as are the bathrooms

Tofu Village holds a special place in my heart as it is the go-to spot my friends and I hit the day after a night out. Our favorite thing to order and share is the combination option (and it is so affordable!). This gives you a tofu soup, meat dish, and lots of delicious banchan options. Our usuals are kimchi tofu soup & seafood tofu soup + bulgogi & spicy pork. The soups will cure everything and are best shared during debriefs with friends. Service is quick and friendly. It is a fantastic place for get togethers with family and friends as it can seat many people.

During our visit to the restaurant one Sunday afternoon, I noticed that they had some new staff members. To my delight, the service was exceptional this time, and I was quite impressed. For my meal, I decided to try the Dol Sot Bi Bim Bap, and I found the portion size to be just right for me. I particularly enjoyed the wide variety of dishes available on the menu. While I did notice a slight increase in prices, I still found the overall dining experience to be enjoyable. Despite the restaurant being quite busy for a Sunday afternoon, they managed to accommodate us, which was greatly appreciated. However, I do believe that the ambiance of the restaurant could be further enhanced if the staff were more welcoming, smiling, and engaging with the customers. Overall, I had a pleasant dining experience.

Tofu village has always been one of my go to spots for a comfort meal after a night out or on a cold day. My go to order is the Kimchi Tofu Soup (extra spicy) combo with spicy pork. The soup is so flavorful and tasty. The spicy pork has a nice crispy char and has a perfect amount of spice. I also usually order the kimchi pancake, which is one of my favorites but, this time I ordered the seafood pancake which did not disappoint! It has the right amount of crispiness on the outside and the seafood was cooked well. I also enjoy the side dishes that come with every meal and the yakult that is given at the end for a sweet treat.

I had high hopes but this restaurant was underwhelming. Service was quick and good. I ordered a bibimbap which ended up being enough food for two meals. I was not a huge fan of the rice portion though, wish there was more rice, and the banchan was mediocre. The bummer was that my partner ordered thin slices beef and it was almost impossible to eat. The beef was so chewy. Very bad experience with the beef dish and not worth the trip out to Chinatown. For good Korean food I'll be going elsewhere in the future. I did appreciate the little yakult that they gave us with the receipt, that was a nice touch after a disappointing dinner.

Okay place for Korean food. If you have cravings it will do the job, but I don't know that many Korean restaurants in Houston. It has been a Chinatown staple ever since I remember, and the first place I've ever tried Korean food! FOOD I've never had their Korean bbq meats, but I've tried their seafood noodle (jjampong), black bean noodles (jajangmyeon), Korean pancake, and rice stone dish (bibimbap) Jjampong is my mom and my favorite, but recently the jjampong didn't hit. It was not as flavorful and tasted watered down On the other hand, I used to hate bibimbap and this lst time I thought it was delicious and MUCH more flavorful than the jjampong The one time I had a craving for Korean jajangmyeon I came here and it was only okay, again not super flavorful but did the job. Seafood and kimchi pancake is still probably the best I've had in Houston. Everything has gotten pretty expensive, but I found the noodle portions filling and I always take home some. AMBIENCE/SERVICE Typical decor. Service is very fast and efficient. Feel free to ask for refills on any of your favorite banchan dishes! PARKING As always parking in Chinatown can be hard, esp when going to Dun Huang plaza, one of the busiest plazas. But usually it's easy to find one before 12pm in weekends, and there's usually spots on the other side of the plaza near Gi Au bar.

I love this place! I come here at least once a month with friends and family. The food is always good and service is typical to that of authentic asian restaurants. The interior is covered in korean culture and kpop LOL I love it. If you want to try authentic Korean food in houston definitely check this place out! Today we got; * tofu soup combo (clam tofu soup + short ribs) * tteokbokki * pan fried dumplings

Surprised that this place doesn't have a higher rating on Yelp! Came here on a Saturday and this restaurant is BUSTLING. Looks like it's a community favorite and there's a good reason why. The food is awesome! They have an extensive selection of delicious banchan - I would have bought their kimchi off of them if sold in jars. I also especially enjoyed the potato and radish side dishes. For our entrees, my friend got the scallop and tofu stew and I got the mushroom bibimbap, and we truly enjoyed both dishes. When we paid for our meal, our server gave us yogurt drinks, which was a pleasant surprise and nice touch to the experience. Ambiance wise, it's clean and nice appearing. But my eyes were really just glued to the food the whole time; it was a stand out meal.

The perfect place for authentic Korean food! Everything that I have tried here is very good. I came with some friends and it was my first time at a Korean restaurant and I was so pleased with the food and the service that I went back the next day! The staff is very nice and they help you if you are new and need some guidance. It's a very interesting experience because they bring all these small plates to share and you can eat from there or add to your food. The soup is very very good, they have several options of protein and also they have options from non-spicy to extra-spicy and they don't play games here with that so be aware! They serve the food really fast even when they are busy and I loved that and everything tastes very fresh. I tried the second time I went the seafood pancake, and loooved it! A very different concept but worth it! I want to bring my family, this kind of food is meant to be shared so it's perfect for a group of friends or a family time.

Tofu Village is a Korean food staple that's been around for a long, long time. Is it food the most flavorful? Probably not, but it's a really homey place with reasonable prices in a plaza where the cost of food has just been skyrocketing. How much has changed in the last 10 years I've been going here, and my go to has been the bibimbap. It's in a stone bowl, which is heated so that the rice is really crispy and has good texture. You can mix all the toppings of the bibimbap together and add your own gochujang. Service is always fast and they have a really neat salad that they serve right when you get there. It's kind of like a light thousand islands dressing and appetizes you nicely. They also always send you off with a yogurt drink. Convenient, homey Korean food is what this place offers up, and I'll come anytime that's what I want.

The was delicious. Made fresh and fast. Portions are perfect. Service was good, too. I plan to go back with family and friends.

I haven't been back in a while. While the tofu itself is still tasty...the mushroom soup has changed. They use to use fresh mushroom in the soup but now they use the dried shitaki mushrooms which has a bitter taste to it if not soaked properly. Overall I couldn't finish the soup bc the mushroom wine is soaked into it. The rice is still yummy! Ban chan has an added dish which is ham. Service was quick as well! You still get a side of mackerel and an egg for your soup. I'll be back but will get a different soup next time.

My kids love the food there, but I definitely dun like the Korean servers, they look so mean and when you ask to refill drink or side dishes, they have you a mad face . We had 8ppl in our party so they gave us two sets side dishes, and we stack up the finished one and ask for refill, they lady was staring at me and said how many refills did you guys get? I am like "What?" All mean and rude conversations.We all love Korean food but really can't stand their attitude

Fast service and good food. My mistake was getting the stew with no spice which I had picked for my stew because of my baby. Don't get no spice. It's not worth it. All the meats were good and the banchan was spot on!

- my favorite restaurant - friendly waiters - i havent ordered anything i dislike yet - whatever you order comes with an abundance of free sides - you get a free yakult at the end which is nice -one combo meal fed me and my friend comfortably -interior is nice and simple

The service here is so efficient, and the waiters are quick to bring out your side dishes and get your orders in. The tteokbokki was definitely a fave as the rice cakes were the perfect texture. And the sauce had a slight sweet taste that helped tone down the spice, not that it's that spicy anyways. The seafood soondubu was honestly okay. The broth was a lot runnier and clearer than I expected. However, the seafood flavor was very prominent and very welcome. As for the actual seafood, I expected more, like there was only one piece of shrimp. And just in general, whenever I've had soondubu, there's just a lot more toppings in the bowl such as vegetables. But still, not a bad dish. Also this has nothing to do with my review, but I packed up my leftovers to take home and left it there on the table like a fool and I have been very upset ever since :(((

I am so surprised that this restaurant doesn't have higher ratings because I was really impressed with both the food and service on my first visit. They have the absolute best Banchan (Korean side dishes). Most places only give out about 4-5 side dishes but this place gives you almost double that amount and their dishes are delicious! The restaurant is located in a corner of a very busy shopping center in Chinatown. The center is jam-packed with dessert shops so you can sweeten the experience and grab something sweet afterwards.

Service was so speedy, and I loved seeing how crowded it was for dinner time, i could tell that this place would be good even if the yelp ratings were not as high! Food was amazing!!! The side dishes were the best I've had even compared to other tofu soup restaurants. Food wasn't as spicy as I hoped at a medium so would def level up to a spicy next time. Otherwise, great vibe

I love their foods , I forgot what I ordered but all are delicious , highly recommended and will come back soon

Been a regular at Tofu Village but never thought to leave a review. For the prices and quality, this is a great place to come if you are craving some authentic Korean food. We usually order the seafood pancake and rice cakes which are both flavorful and addicting. This time, we ordered the combo that includes the spicy pork and kimchi soup which were both great choices. The spicy pork was sweet and paired super well with the rice. The soup is never a miss and the banchan is always one of my favorites. Love this place and will probably be back sooner than I think!

Rude service. I politely asked for napkins and was actually yelled at by one of the servers in response. I was shocked. The only upside of my experience was the good variety of banchan but I would never return due to the aggressive and unsettling interaction with the server.

Decided to revisit Tofu Village for a last minute dinner before they close. Needless to say, the food is still your decent Korean food. Got the mixed tofu soup and seafood pancake. The soup was pretty good as well as the pancake. However, the rice came out pretty late after the soup. Being that we were there before closing time, the staffs were rushing us to finish our food. Was not the most enjoyable experience as we only had 10 minutes to eat our food and rushed to get out. The atmosphere was quite hectic as it comes to the last minute all the staff were rushing us to go our food.

It must have been years since I've been back here! I guess it was before 2020! There were a few changes compared to before but most evident were the prices! Never thought I would say " Back in the day, this cost much less" so soon! Lol I felt like i was so lucky to have ate here before but also felt like it would be a while before I would visit again though I did enjoy the meal. There were more cold dishes plates now and service is still good. Still like the cold dishes very much! It's the same place really, with no special new renovation. I got the stir fry spicy chicken and mushroom tofu soup spicy and my mom got the extra spicy seafood tofu soup. I feel like there was lesser chicken pieces and more vegetables but the taste was good. The mushroom soup was also good. Essentially it was overall good, just feels more expensive.

Service was great. Very attentive staff and the food came out fast. Short ribs are amazing. Kimchi is very good. I had the beef sizzling pot and it was good. Vegetables were cooked right but it did need a little more flavor. The spicy s sauce they give you is a must buy with it it's very good. Good atmosphere. Lots of K pop videos in the tv. Overall, it was great and I'll be back.

Came on a Saturday night, around 8 pm. Chinatown is usually pretty busy around this time, but main lot parking in Dun Huang Plaza is relatively easy to find, with a free parking garage available too. Getting a table was quick- the wait was only around 5 mins. Server was friendly and the atmosphere was lively. Food came out around 10/15 minutes after ordering. The small plates- or "Banchan", in Korean- come with each table and include kimchi, fried fish, and potatoes, among others. They were good; very typical for a Korean joint. Ordered one appetizer, the #7 Pan Fried Dumplings and they were pretty solid. We also got the #51 Rice W/ O Jing Uh & Bul Go Gi and #9 Mixed Tofu Soup. The Bulgogi was very good, definitely my favorite of the two and I would highly recommend. Comes with squid too which was perfectly cooked and the bulgogi was well marinated. We ordered the tofu soup because it seems to be one of their specialities. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. Would probably skip this dish if I were to come back. Overall, definitely a very solid Korean restaurant in a nice location. Would recommend going to Feng Cha or Hui Lau Shan just next door for dessert/boba.

One of the best Korean restaurants in town. The food is great. They have a lot of banchan which is a big plus to me. Can't go wrong with this place.

Always a regular Korean favorite. Food here is reliable and I always come for the tofu soup. Numerous banchan is always a plus. Sometimes the Korean ladies get busy and forgot to bring us water and utensils but just get their attention! Yakult at the end was great!

Excellent Korean food! The bibimbap was incredible, and I absolutely loved everything that was served with it. Service was fast too!

Generous portion, free flow of banchan, efficient and helpful servers- what is not to love about this place? We walked in an hour before their dinner rush as we had skipped lunch that day and was hungry by 4:45PM. After getting all our grocery shopping done in the area, the bf decided it's time for me to try the sundubu place. Having lived on the East Coast for a long time and having family in the West Coast, I must say I have gotten really picky when it comes to Korean food given the access to some of the best Ktowns our country has to offer. Onto the food review...is it really that good??? The short answer is not quite. Whilst everything is delicious on its own, the flavor is still a notch not quite up to par with the legends on both East & West Coast. The broth is flavorful but somehow lacks the depth. But having said that, where I am thousands of miles away from the twos, I'd give Tofu Village a solid 5 star for the Houston area. Definitely worth the trod. Big shoutout to our server- the lady literally checked on us at respectable intervals to ensure that we have everything we need. We were offered banchan refills plenty of time. Not once did she rush us to usher us out despite a group of patrons waiting for tables outside by the time we were done with dinner.

Food is great and not pricey. But don't expect friendly staff. Korean K-pop on all TVs. Love the location.

Did the restautant recently change the owner? The waiter and waitness not the same people. The foods are so blend!!

Their short ribs are so good! I also like their tofu soups and think they are very flavorful. The banchan is good, and I especially like the fish cakes I used to like this place a lot more though, I think the quality declined a little bit. The mushroom tofu soup used to have enoki mushrooms as well but now it just has shiitake. The seafood pancake also used to have a lot more toppings.

I love Tofu Village! It is my favorite Korean restaurant here in Houston and it is affordable for the amount of food. Also the staff is very attentive and quick. Been coming here for years, and will continue to come.

Really good food if you're looking for korean food this is a place you got to try, service is awesome very friendly and accommodating. Ambiance is really chill a good way to relax and focus on your food.

I ordered lunch box. They high quality food serving in a large amount. I love the fried fish and egg cake a lot.

Great service and the restaurant was very spacious. We came as a large group and we were seated quickly (lunchtime). Its location is pretty convenient and parking was easy. I love that the lunch box was colorful and looked full of various items. It was like a sampler plate.... Presentation 10/10! It was incredibly filling and the banchan definitely exceeded expectations. It was priced pretty reasonably at the time. Would love to return to Tofu Village again sometime.
