Love a good tofu soup - it was my first time trying beef intestine and I was pleasantly surprised by how tender it was! My friend and I shared one combo meal and it was more than enough to make us super full. They had some more unique sides at this place including the full fried fish which I love. Service was fast and we didn't have to wait for a table when we came in Sunday at 12:45pm. It's a very casual atmosphere with mostly families eating. Recommend to satisfy that tofu soup or galbi craving! read more

Its Tofu - combo with beef intestine soup and galbi - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

Is it tofu though? I don't get the name of the restaurant, and I kept starring at the name quizzically when I was eating. Beside the name, nothing else is confusing about it. The food is traditional and very tasty, and the service is good. It's always a delight to be greeted by so many of these appetizer dishes at a Korean restaurant. There was even a whole fried fish as a part of the banchan. The clay pot rich was legit too, and the staff served it for me and poured barley tea into the remaining rice. The tofu was fresh and fragrant. The serving size was quite substantial. I was stuffed by the time I was finished. read more

Really good tofu with a wide variety of menu items to try. I got the spicy crab combo and it was delicious. The tofu had great flavor, though I would've liked a bit more spice. Overall, the restaurant was very clean, modern, and had a great atmosphere. read more

It's Tofu! Smells good looks good tastes great. I can see why a party of 4 on a Friday night takes a 45 min wait. We ordered spicy raw crab, la gambit, tofu soup (a mist), and bibimbap read more

First time trying this place. I appreciate the waitlist on yelp. They text you when your table is ready. We got seated and then had to flag someone down to take our order. Very busy place with not enough staff but they do try their best. We got the rib combo with tofu soup. You can pick which tofu soup you want with the spice level. It comes with a few side dishes which were good. The small fish was cooked really well too. Tofu soup was good and had a good kick for sure! I got the spicy and it was spicy!! The short rib gal I was great as well. Nephew loved and ate the whole thing! Combo was $35.99. I would go back again! read more

the banchan here is pretty yummy! i love the japchae especially!! and the mushroom tofu dish. me and my mom split a combo and we got beef tofu mild and a grilled mackerel. the mackerel was huge!!!! its definitely a great deal. the meat pieces in the beef tofu were also a good size and not chopped up too finely (common at other tofu establishments). the quality is outstanding here! service could do with some improvement. we went during an off time so it was quiet and a little empty. it was peaceful! read more

It's Tofu is a Korean restaurant in North Irvine. It is a stylish place with booths and tables. They offer the traditional menu with a very nice selection of small dishes. We love it that they change their small dishes and serve the food hot. I found the meat to be rather bland and the tofu lacked seasoning and taste. I would return if someone wanted to go there, but I would not make it my first choice. The service was okay. When we needed something, we needed to get their attention to ask. Three stars service and three star food. read more

Its Tofu - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

I am extremely disappointed and shocked by the lack of hygiene and quality control at "Its Tofu." I placed an order (#295512433) for pickup on January 11, 2026, around 5:06 PM. While eating, I discovered a rubber band inside my food. Finding a foreign object like this in a meal is completely unacceptable and poses a serious choking hazard and health risk. It clearly shows a neglect of food safety standards in the kitchen. I have attached photos of the rubber band and my receipt as proof. I expect the management to take this matter seriously. I will not be returning and would advise others to check their food carefully. read more

I tried the raw marinated crab here for the first time today and it did not disappoint. This place has solid hot tofu and side dishes. The raw crab is kind of a hit or miss food (both on the cooking side and people enjoying it). But they strike good balance in the marinade that I think anyone can enjoy read more

Its Tofu - Raw marinated crab - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

Service is fast, generally no or short wait until real peak time, and food is pretty good. Also overall the place is clean and tidy. One downside is that the very clean bathroom had an overwhelming smell of bleach/clorox, to the point that the smell of cleaning product stayed in my nostrils and made so that water tasted like the smell of clorox. Its good to know that the bathroom is very clean (since that means the kitchen is also very clean), but toning it down on the cleaning products would probably help a lot - maybe use fragrance-free cleaning products? My kids went to the bathroom for a bit longer than I did and when they came out they said their noses stung and that they had slight headaches. read more

Its Tofu - Unlimited appetizers - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

Yelp usually doesn't lead me astray...but it sadly did this time. Its Tofu....its not the place you want to go. We came earlier in the day before the restaurant was packed and it was still at least half empty. Service was non-existent from the start, which should have been a warning sign for us. Nevertheless, we just thought we were early and beating the crowd. I mean, look, I'm used to bad service at Asian restaurants, but I'm not used to having to ask for literally everything, including utensils. And I'm def. not used to being ignored even when I'm trying to flag down a server for things like a banchan refill. Seems like any one that asks for hot tea gets the most annoyed and disgusted face by the server?? We were another one of these. Plus, we asked for a water for our baby and it seemed like they were acting like we were just being so difficult. Now, service is one day. But the food? BLAND AS HELL. This place must be super popular for people with blood pressure issues because salt and seasoning is no where to be found. This place had one of the worst galbitangs I've ever had and the special "egg" just made it even worse. The meat was also super chewy like it was old. There's no assigned server for your table or area, and flagging one of them down is like finding a leprechaun. Good luck getting one. Oh, and the lovely part is they'll just randomly slam down your check to get you to leave even if you're not done eating or if you didn't ask for it. So that's also fun. Learn from my experience and avoid this place. There's so many better places in Irvine that won't treat you like you're not welcome (and most importantly, a place that will season their food so it's not BLAND). read more

A tofu restaurant with cold noodles this good?? Visited It's Tofu in Irvine -- if you're Korean, you already know this place. But real talk -- if you've only been ordering tofu, you're missing half the experience Order the spicy tofu, crack an egg in, and when the heat hits -- cool it down with an ice-cold mul naengmyeon and LA galbi set. As a chef, I'm telling you this combo is absolutely insane And the real hidden gem? The yangnyeom gejang -- marinated crab packed with meat. Squeeze it over white rice and it's game over This quality at this price in Irvine -- you're seriously missing out if you haven't been read more

Best tofu place in this side of town! Highly recommend it! Everything is so flavorful!!

Great service, Delicious Food! 10/10 will be back! Cold Noodles were fresh and delightful and the Galbi BBQ was cooked perfectly. SeaFood Pancake was also good compare to other places. Highly recommend! read more

Love this spot! If you're in Irvine and craving Korean food, It's Tofu is a must. The soft tofu soup hits the spot every time--super flavorful, comes out bubbling hot, and you can pick your spice level. Their side dishes are always fresh and tasty, and they'll happily refill them (the kimchi and cucumbers are my fav). Portions are big, so you definitely leave full. Service is quick and friendly, even when they're packed. The vibe is casual, nothing fancy, just good food that makes you feel cozy and satisfied. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the area--can't go wrong here! read more

Its Tofu - Korean Near Me - Irvine, California

First time trying this tofu spot in Irvine, and all I can say is I prefer Myung Dong in Walnut, Young Dong in Chino Hills / Diamond Bar and Arirang Tofu House in San Gabriel CA...my soup had no eggs in it. And the banchan was very mid. And for the price to value to quality ratio, I will probably go with BCD. Service was very fast here, and despite being a packed house, they seated me fairly fast. In all honesty, unless I live by here, this would not be a place I'd automatically frequent. And so it's true what they say, "Irvine is a barren land for quality tasty food." Probably because all the working class immigrants folk with all the years of authentic cooking experience all live in LA county. read more

My friends and I wanted to try this place after seeing their raving reviews. Let's start with the good. The place is nice and clean and has plenty of booth seating. Perfect for small groups or even large parties. They take your order quick and bring out the banchan within minutes. Now the bad .... Their pricing is extremely steep for the quality and portion sizes. I ordered the Masaengi and Oyster tofu soup; and it was honestly the worst tofu soup I have ever tried. It tasted like ocean sea water, hot pepper flakes, and seaweed. No depth of flavor. My friends also ordered the Galbi combo, which came with 6 measly pieces of Galbi, so thin there was practically any meat on the pieces. The best part of the meal, honestly speaking, was the japchae, which was part of the banchan. All the other banchan either lacked flavor or seasoning was completely off. This restaurant is definitely for those who either 1, don't know Korean cuisine, or 2, like white washed Korean food. I'm not trying to sound racist or anything, but it's true. Overall, my group and I won't be returning. We wanted to support a local, family business, however after our visit, we'd rather go to BCD. read more

It's Tofu is a Korean restaurant in the same plaza as Zion Market. There's a Yelp waitlist but they had no wait on a Wednesday night. We were serviced by Daniel who was very kind and helpful. We got the Seafood Pancake, bugolgi, hot stone bibimbap, and mild beef tofu soup. I really enjoyed the beef tofu soup and bugolgi. The flavor was rich and strong. The hot stone bibimbap was good too but I definitely needed to add the sauce for the extra flavor. I wish the seafood pancake had more flavor and was more crispy/hot. It came out warm but a little soggy. They also did not fill water until we asked for more. Overall, food is good but not amazing. read more

This is a place I'd love to become a regular for. This place can have no wait or sometimes a small wait but it's exactly what you come for. I usually get the seafood soondubu but the yellow croaker was absolutely great, nice and tender and crisped to perfection. My husband enjoyed his kalbi and cold noodles. But the kind service from the staff is what makes me want to come back, they were so sweet and funny. Easy parking too, it's in a shopping mall. read more

I love a good tofu soup but I'm also picky about it. First I noticed they had Bibimbap I could order as a combo with my tofu soup. Win! And it was not the stone pot version, I prefer the cold one. With this option I chose this spot over another tofu spot down the street. I'm so glad I did. The Bibimbap was delicious, I think I enjoyed it more than my tofu soup! It has the perfect amount of all the ingredients and balanced very well. I was also impressed with the kids tofu meal. It came on a meal tray with plain tofu, fried dumplings, japchae, fried egg, and rice balls. It was way too much food for my 1.5 year old (lol) but the rest of us enjoyed picking things off his plate. The extra spicy tofu soup is pretty darn spicy. I love my food spicy and it put my taste buds on overdrive. And it wasn't overpowering at all of the flavor of the soup. read more

Best thing here is the variety of banchan. Solid tofu soup option. I got the spicy and it was hot but tolerable. I would recommend medium if I went again. Soup had lots of tofu and decent seafood.

Yummy! A nice Korean place to try, especially if you don't feel like fighting the parking lot or the line at BCD. I shared the LA galbi and a medium spice beef soondubu with my partner for dinner and it was a pretty sizable portion, with banchan and a fried fish as well. I liked the banchan variety and the staff was quick to refill it when we asked. No wait time either, even though it was pretty busy on a Sunday evening !! read more

Aside from BCD, Its Tofu is another tofu soup spot that is added to my favorites. Came last Friday around 6pm and even though it was pretty busy inside, I only had to wait around 10-15min because I was able to add onto the yelp waitlist beforehand. My party ordered the brisket wagyu bulgogi combo with the mild crab miso tofu soup and the mild seafood tofu soup. The galbi came pretty quick, but the tofu soups did take quite some time (we were almost done with the galbi and our sides by that point which usually doesn't happen), but at least the staff were aware of it. The banchan had very good variety compared to other places and were also all good, with my favorites being the pancake, japchae, and the fishcake. The crab miso tofu soup is a unique flavor that most tofu soup places don't offer (they have quite a lot of flavors to choose from). I wasn't sure what to expect and thought it might not taste good, but I actually really liked it. Arguably better than the seafood flavor we usually get at these restaurants. There were a few pieces of crab and it was relatively fresh. Overall, I'm glad I got to try and I would come back again. Definitely recommend this spot if you're craving something comforting. read more

"It's Tofu or It's Cold--Your Choice!" Listen, if you're out in this weather contemplating life choices and wondering why your fingers are numb, let me save you the trouble--get yourself to It's Tofu ASAP. Their Spicy Kimchi Beef Tofu Soup isn't just a meal; it's a warm hug for your soul, a reset button for your body, and possibly the cure for all bad decisions (okay, maybe not all). This broth? Piping hot and packed with so much flavor it could revive a hibernating bear. The spice level? Just enough to make you question your life, but in a good way. And the beef? So tender it practically melts into the soup like it was born to be there. The staff? Super friendly and welcoming, like they somehow already know you needed this meal to fix your mood. So do yourself a favor--stop shivering, grab a spoon, and let It's Tofu warm you up from the inside out. Your taste buds (and frostbitten soul) will thank you. read more

This was my second time visiting on a Friday evening, and it was definitely busy! We added ourselves to the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, so by the time we got to the plaza, it didn't take too long to get seated. We ordered the brisket wagyu bulgogi combo with crab miso soondubu and a seafood soondubu. I think their banchan really stands out amongst most Korean spots, with a good amount (7 different items) and great quality. I thoroughly enjoyed them all, and the wagyu brisket was super tender + portion was pretty good as well. Overall, solid soondubu spot in Irvine that I will continue to visit! Dare I say it might even be better than BCD haha read more

The banchan was delicious. read more
