Suuuuuch a good find!!! We stopped here on our way out of SoCal, we all ordered 4 different soups…read moreand shared a bossam and each of us loved our meal. The bossam was one of the best I've had, their ssamjang is amazing. Banchan included kimchi, radish, and fishcake, and the soups each came with a rice. There's a few designated parking spots on the back of the building. There was only one lady and one cook working but she was so kind and provided great service to all the tables. Would absolutely return if I'm ever in the area again.

Stumbled across this place looking for some cold noodles! They didn't have any, but found a new…read moresoup place instead. Amazing Haejangguk! Loved the banchan. Kimchi and kkakdugi were on point. We cleared it out while waiting for our meal. We got the Gogi Guksu and the Sunji Haejangguk. Both were great! So filling and warm. It was spacious and quiet midday and plenty of parking in the back. They handed us a yogurt drink at the end, probably to help regulate our gut. Haha overall we will be back when we are in the area!

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!

I do say this is my go-to spot for Korean comfort food in Arcadia at Omma Tofu House. Located…read moreinside the food court next to 99 Ranch and Sunright Studios (delicious boba), this place has become my regular for convenient, satisfying Korean meals. Their cold noodle dish is easily one of the best within a 15-mile radius. Honestly, there's not much competition in the area, so it's more about convenience versus driving farther for the absolute best, but Omma delivers consistently good quality that keeps me coming back. The bulgogi plate is a must-order when dining in. There's something special about that sizzling hot plate arriving at your table with the meat still bubbling and caramelizing. The banchan is standard fare with basic kimchi, nothing to speak home about but expected for standard Korean cruisine. What I appreciate most is how family-friendly this place is. The food court setting offers plenty of spacious seating, and parking in the lot is never an issue. I mostly do pickups and there's usually no wait time. The one time we did sit down to eat, I noticed a steady stream of delivery orders going out, which speaks to their popularity. It's not fancy, but for quick, reliably good Korean food in a convenient location with easy parking, Omma Tofu House hits the spot. Perfect for those times when I'm craving cold noodles or sizzling bulgogi without the hassle.

I decided to try to go in person and order my usual bibimbap + seafood tofu soup. I remember extra banchan can be ordered but not sure about dine in. I ordered directly with the server who handed me a buzzer to wait for my order to be called. It took an around 10minutes for the food the be ready. I had two trays, one for soup and banchan and the other for bibimbap. You mix your bowl of rice (be careful since the bowl is metal and hot!) into the bibimbap bowl, add sauce (only spicy version they do not have nonspicy sauce!) and mix!! It has all sorts of veggies and meat bits and a fried egg. You can also add all the banchan in as well but we wanted to eat them separately with each bite. They gave us a raw egg (crack it in the soup asap if you don't want it runny!) which I cracked into the hot stone soup, be careful because the bowl is super hot!! I think someone melted our tray with is be fair because the tray was morphed as well. Soup was delicious, love the tiny shrimps, clams, and oyster pieces inside with plenty of tofu which I mixed into bibimbap as well. Banchan was 5 dishes! Potato's salad is new to me as I'm used to their kimchi, seaweed, bean sprouts and fish tofu dishes. All great! Enough food so I didn't ask if they give extra banchan or a price or free. Once we were done we returned the tray and bowls to the restaurant. Glad I tried this is person! Still amazing and worth the wait.

We placed our orders about 20 minutes before leaving to pick it up. We placed 6 orders in total. When we arrived to the restaurant, all of the orders were prepared and ready to go. All of the orders were correct and the food was hot. I tired the Kimchi Fried Rice with Chicken. There was a bit of kick to it, so if you are sensitive to spice, I'd consider another option on the menu. I didn't try the friend chicken, but from what my coworkers said, it was deciduous. I'm excited to try more from the menu in the future.

Chicken was moist and tender with good seasoning. Freshly fried chicken because I could not taste the bitterness and smell from the oil. Wings were not oily.

Will come back to try other items on their menu.

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

I…read morecame in around 2 p.m. just in time for the lunch special, and there were plenty of tables available, which made for a nice relaxed atmosphere. I went with my usual mix: the classic beef tofu soup and bulgogi lunch combo. I also love mixing the banchan into the white rice while alternating bites with the soup. They gave a nice variety of side dishes: kimchi, seaweed, bean sprouts, squid, and cucumber. The food was immaculate and exactly what I was craving. The soup came out piping hot and was super flavorful and hearty with a good amount of tofu and beef. The bulgogi paired perfectly with it and made the meal feel extra comforting and filling. Food coma hit hard. Service was quick, and the food came out in a timely manner. I have previously only been to the one in Arcadia, so this one is now the spot if I'm in the Temple City/San Gabriel area. I would definitely recommend!

Not crazy prices. Tons of seafood. Noodle was cooked right. Nothing yo complain about. A decent spot if you have a jjajang myun craving and nothing else is nearby. As a warning, the seafood jjajangmyun is loaded with mussels and squid but it is pan fried and oiler than the standard jjajangmyun, in case that is not what you are looking for. Honestly, they were both good enough to hit the spot, and the sodium and oil made me gain 6 lbs in water retention overnight lol. The ullpong? Was like a white jjampong. My daughter ordered it but didn't like it. It was decent but I think Jjampong would have been better. It was huge! Easily can feed 2 adults. I probably ordered way too much.

I finally came back after several years and was pleasantly surprised, this visit was solid. I came around 5 PM on a Saturday and was the only customer at first, though it started filling up closer to dinner time around 6. Oyster Tofu Soup - Comes with a huge bowl of rice in a clay pot, which I love. The soup itself was very flavorful and generously loaded with oysters. The side dishes were reasonable, and overall this was very filling. (4.5/5) Ban Chans - The portions are a bit smaller compared to other tofu spots, but still good quality. They served five different ban chans, and my favorite was the kimchi, it had a slightly sweet profile with a strong chili pepper kick. (4/5) Overall, this visit was miles better than my last experience here. Prices felt fair and service was decent. I did notice the staff speaking Mandarin, so I'm not sure if it's still Korean-owned, but regardless, the food was delicious. Parking: Large parking lot available.

They are very cheap with the side dishes (banchan). Portions were extremely small, and refills were either refused or came back noticeably smaller. This is not what you expect from a proper Korean restaurant, especially given the prices. What made the experience worse was the unprofessional behavior. The staff were openly talking badly about customers in Korean, clearly assuming no one would understand. That is extremely disrespectful and unacceptable in any restaurant. Overall, the service and attitude did not match the cost or the reputation they try to present.
