Loved this place! Banchan was great, and favorite dish was the braised short rib as well as the ice cream you get at the end. We also tried the meat patty (also a fav), purple rice, beef soondubu. The place is well decorated and service is also great. Would come again to try more! read more

We were already impressed at the entrance seeing the grand decor. It was not your "standard" ma and pa Korean restaurant as everything looked sharp and modern. They accommodated our party of 6 easily. As soon as we were seated, one of the servers brought us each a small glass of their homemade soy milk. It was so smooth and creamy. Some of us went with the lunch combos, which are a great bargain. Galbi, spicy pork, and Kimchi soup were generously portioned. Bibimbap and cold noodles were beautifully presented with a fresh combo of protein and veggies. Their banchan was made with effort and delicacy as you can taste the crispness and freshness. Their white peach Makkoli is a must as it's in a slushy! Multiple servers took care of us and were attentive and refilling our banchan and barley tea. At the end of our meal, they brought us dubu ice cream. That sealed the deal, it was the perfect light ending to our meal. All of us were impressed with the food, service, and vibe of Dubu Haus. Thank you for the lovely meal. read more

Dubu Haus - Perila Oil Buckwheat Noodle w/Bossam Seafood Soondubu Deodeok Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Not one for hyperbole, but Dubu Haus made one heck of a first impression where ever dish was a hit. The soft tofu stews are unique and distinct - with the Perilla Seed Mushroom option hitting the spot. Hearty and delicious, yet never making you feel too stuffed! The Meat Patty Jeon was flavorful and airy, complemented perfectly by the chives. The only thing that was a bit excessive was the sweetness from the bulgogi and mushroom hotpot. The soup was almost undrinkable because of how sweet it was when compared to the perfectly flavored dishes, fresh bibimbap, and and tofu soups. But that one glitch did not mar the overall experience. The space is beautifully lit and spacious while the staff are kind and not invasive. If only they can be a bit more lax on the time limit! Can't wait to return and try all the other dishes! read more

Love the modern, elevated ambiance here! The warm tones and decor made the space feel so chic and the menu looked great across the board. I really appreciated the complimentary soy milk shot at the start of the meal and the soy soft serve at the end. Definitely had a lot of soy that day since I also ordered the kimchi & pork kongbiji but it was worth it. Very hearty and flavorful with a rich kimchi taste, and it was my first time trying this style of soup. While I liked it, I also tried some of my friend's tofu soup and honestly liked it much more. Definitely ordering that as my entree next time. Service was prompt and attentive throughout. The only small downside was the bathroom situation. Bathrooms were all clean individual rooms but I had multiple people aggressively jiggle my door handle trying to get in and push while I was inside. There are several bathrooms available so I was confused. I think some kind of occupied/vacant indicator on the door would help greatly. Bathroom mishap aside, I had a great experience here overall and enjoyed the food! read more

I just found my new favorite tofu house in Ktown! Dubu Haus specializes in dishes made from housemade tofu which they make fresh every day at the restaurant. After being seated, we were served complimentary soymilk freshly made and was thicker than I expected. I loved this concept since soymilk is the beginning stage of tofu making. We were served a nice assortment of banchans which they rotate so each time you come here, they will different. This was my first time seeing mushroom jelly. I asked for their most popular soondubu and it was the Prime Short Rib Soondubu and it did not disappoint. I also highly recommend ordering their 12-hour spicy braised prime short rib was so tender and flavorful. Don't let the size of the pot fool you, there was so much meat in here. For something light and refreshing, I also recommend trying their Perilla Oil Buckwheat Noodle with Bossam. We also had bossam as an appetizer. The pork belly is braised for 8 hours, thinly sliced and served with Napa cabbage, handmade Dubu, radish kimchi and are meant to all be wrapped together. At the end of the meal, everyone gets Dubu soft serve made of tofu, vanilla ice cream and bean powder and it was soo good! It looks modern and upscale inside and the service was exceptional so I was surprise to find the prices to be quite reasonable. This was my second time here and won't be my last! read more

Everything was delicious. We also tried the potato pajeon and my gosh, we loved!!! The ambiance was so luxurious and the service was amazing! They also have lunch specials that have out of this world deal. I would definitely come back for the food, ambiance, and service!

Great tofu stew! The vegetarian one was absolutely delicious. They have three side dishes that are shellfish free. The portions are very generous too considering the price. The tofu ice cream at the end is even included. However it's not vegan and does have dairy in it. Service was great. So big inside. read more

Really tasty and outstanding value for money. The meal started with a complimentary taste of soy milk, which was rich and nutty. For my meal, I had the veggie soondubu, which was spicy, hearty, and fully of a variety of vegetables and tofu. There was also a pretty wide array of delicious banchan - the cabbage kimchi and peppers were my two favorites, but they were all delicious. My partner enjoyed the seafood soondubu as well. The meal ended with a bit of soy milk soft serve ice cream with roasted soybean powder. This was creamy, toasty, and light, serving as the perfect end to the meal. The bill came to just over $50 for two people after tax and tip. The service was also very warm and attentive. read more

I've been wanting to try Dubu Haus for a while, and it lived up to expectations! Reservations are a must - walk in waiting times on a Tuesday evening were about an hour. The soondubu here is really tasty - the broth is flavorful and kinda thick, and they're generous with the seafood and tofu. It would be nice if the spice level could be adjusted a bit, and I wish it came out at more of a rolling boil like BCD. I really enjoyed the banchan here - the kimchi & pickled radishes were standouts. Kimchi jeon here is also one of the best I've had. The restaurant is quite modern, spacious, and aesthetic. Definitely more upscale compared to BCD, but well worth the price. read more

Came for lunch on a Sunday with friends. We made a reservation the night prior and were seated right away. The ambiance was very upscale and nice. I had no expectations coming in as it was a rainy day and I just wanted something warm. I got the beef soondubu and it was really good! The portions are pretty big and of course unlimited banchan. We only got a refill of their lettuce kimchi since the entree was filling. You are welcomed in with a small, creamy soymilk before your entree and end your meal with a soybean kinako soft serve- delicious! Highly recommend for a nice lunch spot. read more

Dubu Haus serves a more modern Korean cuisine - and their tastes reflects it. For appetizers, I got the meat patty jeon - the restaurant mentioned that it was a newer dish on the menu. It's a pretty interesting dish, it's like a patty stuffed veggie dish, so I'm not quite sure if it should be described as a pancake. For entrees, I got the spicy braised short rib. As someone who really likes galbijjim, this is the dish I was most excited for, and I definitely enjoyed it! I also got the seafood soondubu as well and I was definitely able to taste the quality of the dish! Both entrees comes rice. I got both the white rice and the nutritious kettle pot rice. I much preferred the nutritious rice! They also included complimentary dessert. I'm not sure if it was soy soft serve, or tofu soft serve. But it was also something I really liked! read more

I've been wanting to try this place because they make their own tofu in house. The food portions are pretty big so I would recommend sharing a few things. The prime rib soondubu and the perilla mushroom soondubu were really rich and good. My favorite dish of the night was the spicy pork and Dubu kimchi! It has a nice charred taste. For an appetizer it was super filling. We also got the potato and ma jeon and it wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. The staff was really nice with a variety of people who checked in on us. The food came out really quickly too that we didn't have enough room on our table for two. The decor is really clean and bright and there were also sections for larger groups! They also give you ice cream at the end of the meal which was really nice and a good way to end the dining experience! read more

One of the easier spots in Ktown to get a last minute reservation. Very fancy and upscale atmosphere, and waiters are great at refilling the banchan. They're known for making their own tofu in house, and give you some complimentary soy milk and tofu ice cream with your meal. The spicy braised dubu was definitely my favorite dish. The sauce was delicious, and the pork belly was cooked very well. The nutritious rice is very tasty, and definitely worth upgrading to for $3. read more

If you like tofu, this is your spot. Dubu house has quick and polite service, the servings are good sizes for the price, and the tofu is nice and soft when it needs to be. Came here the other night with a group, and we ordered a variety of the apps and mains to share. We were first given small cups of a tofu puree/soup, and it was excellent. Great soybean flavor, really rich and creamy, perfect if you enjoy the pure taste of tofu. The braised galbi, the soondubu, and the bibimbap are some highlights. They also give a lot of banchan, and wow is that tasty as well. At the end, you get a lil sweet treat, and the price seemed quite reasonable for the amount of food we got. Definitely left stuffed, and would absolutely come back. read more

I had a delicious Korean delivery lunch from this fine restaurant. I ordered Seafood Soondubu, and the Marinated Short Rib Combo which came with Soybean Soondubu. Of course, it came with four nicely prepared types of banchan including bean sprouts, pumpkin, broccoli and another green vegetable something like kale or spinach. Also, included were two mildly spicy types of kimchi...cabbage and a root vegetable. Steak does not carry very well on a delivery order especially when it is arrives at room temperature but the meat was very tasty and soft...still quite delicious. The Seafood Soondubu had shrimp, mussels, clams and scallops with tofu, some vegetables and spices...very nice. The Soybean Soondubu was a soft tofu dish to complement the short ribs. White rice was included. Delivery was medium speed. Packing was very good. In all, this was a very satisfying meal and I will order from here again. read more

This place is beautiful! The prices for the entrees are not that bad given how nice the space is. The appetizer is a bit overpriced, I wouldn't get the potato pancake again. It was tasty, but not at that price point. The sauce carried it for me, tangy and salty. The pancake has a crispy outer ring and a mochi like texture. I got the short ribs soondooboo and it tasted the most similar to BCD's, with a better cut of meat of course. However, I did find it a bit sickening towards the end becauseof how fatty it was. My partner got the perilla leave noodles, and it was refreshing and the perilla taste isn't super strong. Not my type of entree, but he enjoyed it! The kimchi was the best part of the banchan for me. It tasted fresh and well seasoned. The ice cream at the end was a nice touch that I looked forward to. Echoing other reviews, the service wasn't the greatest because the space is huge and I don't think they have enough staff to meet the demand. However, the service wasn't super slow, you have to be a little patient getting their attention. read more

My friend and I got dinner here on a Tuesday night. We made a reservation but you can probably walk in and still get a table. Even though all the tables were packed, they turn them around very quickly. As soon as we sat down, they gave us shots of their signature soy milk. I love traditional soy milk and this was some of the best I ever had. It's not the Silk soy milk you add to your coffee; it's rich and thick and creamy and gritty. You really taste the soy beans in it. We ordered two of their tofu stews and they were surprisingly very different. The mushroom one was very thick (real stew-like) whereas the oyster one was more like a traditional seaweed soup with oyster and tofu. Both were delicious and I'm glad we tried both. We also got the Garden Fresh Dubu Jeon, which was pretty underwhelming because we expected the kale and beet flavors to be more prominent. Instead, this just tasted like pan-fried tofu. I wouldn't get this again. Lastly, another highlight of our meal was the free soft serve to finish everything off. It tasted more like vanilla soft serve with soybean powder than soy milk soft serve, but was so good. I wish I could've had more! This is also connected to Hanwoo, a Korean BBQ restaurant, and MUSAEK, a speakeasy cocktail bar underneath. I tried the latter and really enjoyed their cocktails so I'd be interested in trying their BBQ too.

We finished off our meal with complementary ice cream. Overall, I would come back to try other korean stews. read more

This's our first time coming here. We didn't have a reservation in advance, we're able to do walk in and get seated within an hour. We're greeted with a small glass of soy milk for everyone which was tasty. I had to get the tofu soup of course since tofu is made in house. They have combos as well that you can order which has a protein dish + tofu soup of your choice (2 options)! Everything we got was very tasty! service was okay,I feel like he's rushing us to order our meals with zero smile on his face. The other server who handed us the check at the end however was super nice. Overall it's a very good experience, and you get complimentary soft serve at the end! Also, the bathrooms are very clean with multiple private stalls. Would recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit especially on the weekend !! read more

I came to Dubu Haus with some family for a Saturday night dinner. We made a reservation and I highly recommend doing this as they seem like they get rather busy. The restaurant is decently big and has really beautiful interior. The table for 6 of us was a very spacious booth and we had plenty of room. Since they're known for their tofu, we got their soondubu. We also got their seafood hotpot, perilla oil noodles, and bossam. Most of these were just ok. Their bossam was a standout item to me with it being sliced very thin, which I prefer. It came with the usual bossam items like tofu slices, cabbage, and radish kimchi which were all delicious. Their banchan was also all very good and we got several refills. They give soft serve ice cream at the end that was very rich and milky, we all loved this. Overall most of the food was alright. The banchan, bossam, and ice cream were great but we would've expected the other main items that came with tofu to be more memorable. This is probably more due to personal preference though. Service and ambiance were great with very attentive staff. I wouldn't come back to Dubu Haus but I would say it's worth trying once if you enjoy Korean food, especially tofu. read more

I tried a variety of dishes here and they were all pretty good. The flavors were good and the ingredients felt fresh. The interior is really modern and clean and the service was good as well.

So unique and creamy and I've never had it before so I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Dubu Haus - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Newly opened tofu restaurant right outside K-Town that has quickly become a go to. We usually will get the Perilla Mushroom tofu soup with the Bossam starter platter, though the spicy rib soup is also very good. For the price you pay, you get a very generous amount of food; this is one of the few dubu restaurants I've been to where I actually am stuffed after eating. As good as the entrees are, the highlight for me will always be the complementary tofu-flavored ice cream they give. It's incredibly fresh and has a refreshing but not overpowering flavor to it - I honestly think it's better than most ice cream shops in New York. I would recommend putting in a reservation beforehand, as it gets quite hectic during lunch and dinner rush. Would recommend if you're looking for good Korean food at a solid price! read more

Dubu Haus - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

Located in the space that used to be the rather terrible Japanese-Korean buffet IchiUmi, Dubu Haus is, as the word dubu/두부 suggests, a place specializing in tofu. They have done a good job transforming that old giant buffet, doing such things as adding larger booths, putting in much brighter lights, and separating the downstairs into a place for fancy cocktails/Korean seafood called MUSAEK (would recommend their Jeju Fluke Hwe and Cantalope/Boricha drink.) This staff was friendly, though a bit slow occasionally, and the food quality was good, with it feeling in general like a healthier meal compared to many of the other Korean places. They gave us a shot of fresh soy milk/두유 to begin with, which was a fun touch with the drink being mildly creamy and quite healthy tasting. The banchan at the beginning was a bit more varied than the typical spot included yeolmu kimchi/열무김치/summer radish kimchi, seasoned peppers, diced radish/kkakdugi/깍두기, burdock with sesame, bean sprouts/namul, and a pancake/jeon, which I had some mixed vegetables and possibly tofu or potato as the base. They refilled the banchan when needed, with all of them having mild flavors with various textures such as crunchy and otherwise. We started with the Grilled Short Rib Patty, or Tteok-Galbi/떡갈비, for $26 with prime short rib, rice cake, soy, and garlic, which came with three large pieces. Adding said rice cakes was a fun spin and is a bit cheeky, as the name translates to rice cake ribs, with the dish normally not having any actual tteok inside. The rice cakes added a unique extra chew and texture, but didn't take away from the meatiness, with the dish otherwise being a little sweet and slightly salty. This was a good appetizer, and I would recommend this to share. As per most tables, most of our orders were the various Soondubu (or sundubu) Jjigae/순두부찌개/Tofu Stews, which were all piping hot and comforting, with all the stews coming with a pot of white rice (with it also being possible to upgrade to their nutritious rice for $3 more, which I would do next time, with the quality in general being better than BCD or Five Senses. The closest in flavor to BCD Tofu was the Kimchi & Pork Kongbiji/김치 돼지비지찌개 for $20 with soybean curd, pork belly, and kimchi. The pork inside was good, while the kimchi added a pleasant funk. The tofu inside had a wonderful texture, making this, in most ways, better than BCD's version. Somewhat similar was the Prime Short Rib Soondubu/갈비살 순두부찌개, priced at $21, which featured the short rib along with zucchini and onion. The dish had a good bit of heat to it, and the meat inside was quite tender, being more flavorful than the pork and more tender. The only thing missing, by comparison to the other dish, was the funk due to the lack of kimchi. I preferred this a bit, and this would have been my favorite if there had been kimchi in this, as the short rib was that much better. More on the comforting side was the Perilla Seed Mushroom Soondubu/들깨 버섯 순두부찌개 for $23 with various mushrooms (king oyster, wood ear, beech, and shiitake,) along with zucchini and napa. The perilla added both a nice flavor as well as a bit of fragrance, while the various mushrooms had a good mix of textures. This was also very tasty. They were out of the Maesangi Oyster Soondubu, so instead we got the Dried Pollock Soondubu/황태 순두부찌개 for $22, which also had radish and bean sprout along with the aforementioned fish. The soup was mild, by comparison to the others, making it taste a bit healthier, with only the slightly rehydrated pollack having a light fishiness and a unique texture. I would probably order this again on a day I'm not feeling as good, but otherwise, I preferred the other soups a bit more. They gave us some homemade soy ice cream at the end, which was a nice and tasty ending note. This was one of the more comforting meals I had in recent memory, and I would go back here to try more of the soondubu or order again some of my favorites. read more

Service was very fast and friendly! Their unlimited banchan was good and they were quick to give us refills. We got the perilla oil noodles, short rib soondubu, and steak tartare bibimbap. My favorite was probably the bibimbap -- the steak was very tender and I'm a sucker for runny egg yolk. The flavors blended very well together. The perilla oil noodle was just a tad bland but I still really enjoyed the taste and the chewiness of the noodles. The short rib soondubu was perfect for a cold winter day. My only complaint is that the soup wasn't served hot enough to cook the egg. They also gave us complimentary soy ice cream at the end which was delicious! read more

Dubu Haus - Korean Near Me - New York, New York

I came here on a Tuesday evening with a friend. I made a reservation prior since I've tried to come here as a walk-in a few times and it's never been easy. The interior decor is very modern and sleek. The service reflects upon its ambience as well. For food we shared the kimchi mandu. My friend and I each got a soondubu for ourselves; I got the oyster soondubu while my friend got the prime short rib soondubu. We also got the white peach makgeolli to share. For starters; the white peach makgeolli is dangerously good! Highly recommend this! Kimchi mandu was good! Two each was more than enough for us. The soondubu were both really good! The only thing I'd mention is it seems we can't adjust the spiciness level. While I was fine with the spice level of the two dishes, I could see why someone who typically has a higher spicy tolerance could find this not as enticing. Nevertheless, I had a spectacular dining experience and would look forward returning next time. Thank you Dubuhaus! read more

I'm definitely a fan of Dubu Haus. As I get older, I think I start to appreciate some of the subtler flavors - and I think Dubu Haus's homemade tofu is a great example where you can really taste the slight nuttiness of the tofu in a very clean way. We ordered the braised short ribs and bossam, and they provided complimentary tofu-based ice cream afterwards. It was a good amount of food, and I enjoyed that the tofu in the bossam really highlighted the flavor of the tofu. The bossam is cut a bit thinly, so it's something to note compared to traditional bossam (but I kinda like it in this thin way). The braised short ribs were also quite tender. The restaurant has a beautiful interior and is a great addition to the neighborhood - I'd definitely come back. The service was very attentive as well. read more

I literally recommend Dubuhaus to all my friends and anyone looking for a solid spot in K-Town. It's one of those places that just nails comfort food--from soups to noodles and everything in between. My favorite part is that they make all their tofu in-house, and it's non-GMO. Huge draw for me as a nontoxic girly. They even start you off with complimentary freshly made soy milk, which is such a unique and comforting touch. The banchan is amazing, the food is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous for the price--I always leave with leftovers. The ambiance is elevated and stylish without feeling pretentious or overly trendy. Plus, there's rarely a wait, probably because it's a bit newer and not right on the main K-Town strip. Seriously, go. This place is such a standout! read more

I just can't believe this restaurant isn't talked about more and isn't more popular than it currently it is. Selfishly, I hope that it continues to fly under the radar because that will make it easier for me to get to eat here in the future! On the Beli app, I had a friend rate this restaurant a 10/10. Intrigued, I came here with my boyfriend recently and omg we were NOT disappointed. Pro tip, they don't give you utensils because each table already has them in a little drawer on the side of the tables. First of all, the interior is beautiful. Secondly, the restaurant gives you so many goodies on the house: fresh soy milk, banchan side dishes, and soy milk ice cream at the end. The soy milk was thick and and not sweet. We really liked the pickled vegetables and the fish cake side dishes. The star of the show was the perilla oil buckwheat noodle with bossam...holy moley...my boyfriend and I devoured this like nobody's business! I think I normally don't like cold noodles but I threw that thought out the window as this was not only so colorful and visually stunning, every bite tasted so crisp and refreshing. Though the prime short rib lunch combo was also amazing (like for real that was some wonderful beef), my boyfriend and I agreed that we both should have just gotten the perilla oil buckwheat noodle bowls, it was THAT good! They give you little soy milk ice creams to finish the meal. It's got a nutty roasted flavor that makes it interesting in relation to the milky creaminess of the ice cream, it was awesome! The meal altogether was so affordable too like we honestly thought that this caliber of meal deserved a higher price point but don't tell them this lol If I had to be picky about one thing, I guess it would be the bathroom experience. Don't get me wrong, I loved that there so many stalls and the set up is overall really nice. They play like swanky house jazz vibe music in the bathrooms to give the impression of a cool vibe. The loud hand dryer totally ruins this vibe. I would have preferred paper towels instead but I understand why they would opt for the hand dryers. I can't wait to come back multiple times in the future! read more

It's been a while since I had a standout meal, and this one had a couple shining stars. First, the shot of fresh soy milk was so refreshing and truly tasted like tofu in liquid form. We ordered the jjampong, oyster and seaweed stew, beef soondooboo, and the raw beef bibimbap. The jjampong and bibimbap I would skip - would stick to the single serving stews instead. They were both great, especially the oyster and seaweed soup. Coming from someone who is not the biggest fan of oysters, this soup was deep, not fishy, and had a thicker consistency similar to when adding a cornstarch slurry to soups. I would revisit just for this soup. Also a nice added bonus is that the single serving stews come with rice that is nicely charred on the bottom with no extra cost, which is rare these days in the city. read more
