Still Our Favorite Tofu Spot -- Had to Bring the Family This Time!…read more Of course we had to come back to our favorite tofu spot, and this time we brought the family for a belated Mother's Day dinner after raving about this place nonstop. Best part? We saw Shelly, our favorite girl that works here! She's always so sweet, kind, and welcoming every single time we visit. It honestly makes the experience even better when you're greeted by familiar friendly faces. We came around 7:30 PM and the wait was only about 10 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering how popular this place gets. Service was quick, efficient, and the food kept coming out fast. Plenty of tables inside, so it never felt too cramped. This time around we ordered: * Jap Chae * Bulgogi with Beef & Seafood Tofu Combo * Spicy Pork w/ seafood & beef combo * Teriyaki Chicken w/ seafood & beef tofu * Bulgogi with All Seafood & Beef Tofu Combo And of course... the unlimited refills of the banchan are always one of the best parts. Honestly, sometimes I think I could make a full meal out of just those alone. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and exactly why we keep coming back every couple of months. I will say the prices have slowly been creeping up little by little each visit, but honestly, we still enjoy it every time. Still our go-to tofu spot and definitely one we'll continue bringing family and friends to. Happy eats!

My family has been coming here since the pandemic days when they had the tables outside and met a server named Valente. He's always been so amazing with us and his service as well as other staff here has been phenomenal. It's always nice coming over here for more than 5 years and seen this place get renovated and upgraded and we've loved it even more now! Happily Valente is still here to greet us with a smile and give us an amazing service like today when my sister and I came for lunch. The food is ALWAYS amazing! I love getting the hot stone bibimbap and their spicy tofu soup! The banchan is also so good that I literally ask for more all the time and they always come by and giving us more I've never had a bad experience here in the 5 plus years that I've been coming here. We can definitely say we're regulars We want to keep it that way. If you guys come here, you guys will enjoy the throwback Korean music that they also play. For OG kpop fans, you'll enjoy it hahah

We didn't realize what a big portion this would be the first time we ordered it, but it's definitely shareable or you can do what we do: add a combo for extra food to take home for leftovers =P I do also wish they added more broth/water to their tofu soup because it always seems so dry after they bring it out. Their Beef Ribs area also good! Their banchans are good (some are a bit on the sweet side). Service is still quick and restaurant is clean. One unisex restroom in the back that's clean. Parking lot is still a doozy but this plaza is always really busy.

Tender beef, green onions for texture, and the soup was flavorful and spicy but not too spicy to take the enjoyment out of eating. Will be back for this again.

I heard they sell some legit kimchi here so I decided to stop by the other day and grab one to try…read more The kimchi comes as a whole cabbage, so you do have to cut it up yourself. It was about $20 for a pretty big container. Flavor wise it was good and definitely a step up from your typical store bought kimchi. The only thing for me was it leaned a bit on the sweeter side. Not bad, just a little more sweet than I personally prefer. Overall I'd still get it again if I'm in the area, just wish it was a little less sweet.

I was in the area and craving KBBQ and stumbled upon this place! There was no wait so we walked…read moreright in. It was a huge restaurant with a hot bar/sides in the middle. Even though there was a weekday special, we ended up going with the normal dinner menu since we wanted some more of the speciality cuts. Of the sides, my favorite was the steamed egg. It was sooo savory and good!! I usually tap out after one steamed egg but I ended up ordering another one because it was just that good. The corn cheese was just okay to me but it got cold and hard really fast. For the meats, we tried a lot of different things. Usually beef belly is one of my favs but I thought this one was a bit thick and hard. All the other cuts though were incredible, like the beef tongue, galbi, flat iron, and pork jowl. The pork jowl was actually both our favorites because it just melted in our mouths! They were quick with changing our grills and asking us if we wanted more meats so service was great! I'd come back if I was in the area but probably wouldn't drive out just for this place.

Haven't been to oo-kook in a while but came in today and all I can say is the meats are not wow and…read moreamazing. Why are the meat slices so thick? The beef belly was hard to chew because it was so thick. The tongue was so thick it's like you're eating real tongue . The brisket was sliced perfectly and probably the best out of all the meats we ordered. Pork jowl was okay. The vegetable egg roll in the buffet section was cold. The beansprouts did not have any flavor. Service was amazing because the restaurant barely opened. Other than that there's no vent sucking the smoke so you'll smell a lot walking out of there. Overall, I would definitely not go back due to the food quality.

The interior is decorated with a Taekwon V theme, which was so unique and nostalgic. It really brought back old memories and gave us that authentic Korean vibe, which we loved. The food quality and variety were excellent, and everything we tried was delicious. Service was also very friendly and attentive. Since it's a very popular place, there can be a wait, and sometimes the servers are quite busy so food might come out a bit slower--but they were always kind and did their best to take care of us. Overall, we really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back!

They like their savory food strictly savory. But this time, I didn't compromise. I went all in on the sweet combo: tteokbokki with honey butter chicken. Truly a match made in heaven. The tteokbokki delivers that perfect balance of heat and sweetness, with the sauce clinging beautifully to each chewy rice cake. Every bite is bold, glossy, and deeply satisfying. The pickled radish on the side adds just the right touch of brightness, cutting through the richness and refreshing your palate between bites. And the honey butter chicken? It arrives hot and audibly crunchy, each piece generously coated in that addictive sweet-savory seasoning. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and dangerously easy to keep reaching for. This combo hits every note--spicy, sweet, crunchy, chewy, rich, and refreshing. Easily a five-star experience.

After last time we wanted to come back and try the army stew we saw one table had that time…read more Parking was decent, since it was a Wednesday night, it wasn't busy. We came around 6pm and it changed for dine in option, a server was available this time to give us menus, take our orders at the table and provided banchan (side dishes) for us as well as water. There was a few other tables with us and the place still looks the same. I also noticed a QR code on the table which we didn't use but may be to help streamline ordering in case a server was too busy. The banchan is refillable upon request which we did ask and it was received! I am super happy to see fishcake, picked radish cubes, kimchi, and stir fried julienne potato. Here is what we got: An order of two boneless fired chicken (bulgogi and onion sauce, $3.50 extra for onion and it was worth it in my opinion!). Onion sauce was a nice creamy mild sauce over the chicken and slightly cooling effect to counter the spicy army stew. The bulgogi sauce was slightly spicy and sweet, since it was slightly spicy to my son, and he didn't want to try the onion one, we asked the server to add in a side of fries my son might not eat the chicken. The army stew spicy level cannot be modified and yes it was a little too spicy for me but I ate it well with chicken and fries. It came with a bowl of rice and fried egg on top. We didn't ask for more rice as there was plenty of food. I did enjoy the cheese covered spam slices, mini sausages, and fish cake in the stew, I didn't eat much of the noodles given how spicy it was. Once we finished eating we asked for a check and a to go box, the server was handling the tables by herself and was very attentive to us so she did a wonderful job. Overall, super happy I came back. We plan to com back to try their pancakes and tofu soup!
