(Mountain View) Food: *Seafood pancake(10/10)- Seafood pancake with shrimp, octopus, and green onion. Perfectly crispy in each bite . Mild salty flavor from the seafood blended well with the mild spicy sauce. A must buy *Snow crab Bibimbap (10/10)- Crab was prepared and tasted fresh. Very easy to cut and chew. Rice, seaweed, veggies on the rice, in addition of the banchan all blended deliciously with the different texture on the dish. Nothing was over powering. Free refill on the banchan (10 small side dishes) *Bulgogi Bibimbap (9.7/10)- same as stated above. Beef was cooked really well and easy to chew. Great portion size on the protein. Ambience: clean, simple and elegant decoration. Great for small to large party. 75-minute dining limit for all,90 minutes for parties of 6+ RSV. Service: Phenomenal service. Every staff was kind and helpful. Got any request on a timely manner and would check on us with needs and how the food was. Price: Is it pricy? Yes. Is it worth every penny? Absolutely. Food was cooked and prepared perfectly. Service was amazing and the setting is elegant. I would absolutely come back Parking: small side and back parking read more

We had lunch here before the concert. Honestly I really do not know what was ordered as our friend ordered before we arrived as we were short on time. This is a Korean restaurant on the fancy side, very pretty and well decorated. The service was very good and the sweet lady pushed the cart of banchans to refill without us asking. Instead of variety of banchan to share, they actuall offer individual set of banchan so we do not have to reach over to get to the ones we like. Whatever ordered were very tasty, but the portion was a bit on the small side, but with enough banchan it was okay. I think we had short rib stew, cod, grilled spicy pork, and others. As I said it is on the fancy side so it was not your usuall Korean tofu house price tag. I think after we split, it was about $55 a person. read more

I have already been back to Kunjip Tofu 5 times and I've only been living in the Bay Area for 2 months. This spot has quickly become one of my favorites. All of the banchan (which have free refills) are so delicious and provide a nice variety of textures and flavors. I usually get the Wagyu galbi or the crab bibimbap. Both are delicious but the galbi is something you have to try at least once. It is so tender and flavorful. A bit of a splurge but I think it's worth it. read more

Kunjip Tofu - Wagyu Galbi is so tender & delicious!! A bit of a splurge but I think it's worth it! - Korean Near Me - Mountain View, California

We have been fans of the OG Kunjip since they opened and it took us awhile to make it out to Kunjip Tofu, but would definitely be back. We could only get reservations at 4:30 PM on a Sunday with a 90 minute dining limit and was surprised how packed it was even at that time. The waiting queue did not seem to let it up even when we left. The restaurant is warm and inviting and service was great until after we placed our order, which is why the minus one star. Once we got our food, the cart of banchans appeared, but many times she just passed us by even when I kept saying excuse me to catch her attention. Our waiter also never stopped by to see if we needed anything. On to the food, we had appetizers of the Kunjip Tofu, Wagyu Yookhweh, and Wagyu Dduk-Galbi. They are all size in portion but all very good. The yookhweh was my favorite. All the textures and flavors went so beautifully together. For the entree, I went with the spicy octopus bibimbap. Loved the presentation on the tray and not having to share my banchans! I actually enjoyed the banchans more, as the rice was just too mushy in the bibimbap. The octopus was cooked nicely though, very tender. Sadly, I do think this dish gave me some stomach problems, so would not order this again and try their tofu stew next time. Overall, a great restaurant. It is pricey but the level of food you receive is worth it! read more

This is going to be different from my other reviews because I only got their take out Kimbap and WOW! AMAZING! $8-12 a roll and they're delicious and delicate and so tender! The ingredients are finely chopped and fresh! It's is light, refreshing, and very, very satisfying! This Kimbap melts in the mouth! Also it's beautifully packaged and CLEARLY labeled with a sticker. I appreciate that attention to detail. Someone dropped off a roll as a special treat for me. It was so delicious that the next day I immediately went myself and bought 4 rolls. What's wild is that this can ONLY be ordered for TAKE OUT! You can't even eat it there! I'm getting this for every road trip from now on. Amazing!!! 6 stars! read more

Upscale Korean restaurant. Great addition to Mountain View. Great food. The Starters - Crab, Shrimp & Seabass & top-notch with tasty aioli dips. We did the Wagyu Galbi & spicy Pork Bulgogi, both were well done & came with a bunch of interesting banchans - quail(?) eggs, tiny fishes, mini pancake etc. Definate try for occasions, just be ready for the sticker shock. Place looks swanky; do not expect standard tabletop BBQ grills & hotpots. Service is friendly & swift. read more

My friend introduced me to this place cause she says it is one of her favorite places and now it's definitely one of my favorite spots. We came on a Saturday and the wait was an hour long, but they have a machine that provides drinks and there are heaters while you wait. I got the abalone galbitang which was already seasoned and flavorful. The meat was super tender and every bite was delicious. I tried the wagyu galbi which was absolutely delicious and it had me thinking about it the whole time on my 45 minute drive home. The wagyu galbi was also tender, seasoned well, and delicous. I also tried the spicy oxtail which was fall of the bone and great flavor. We got the spicy which had a kick but wasn't too bad. The have carts to come by to ask which one of your banchans needs to be refilled, which is a nice touch. Service was great - everyone was nice and attentive. Their service is definitely top notch. Overall, I'd definitely be back! I'm still thinking about their food. read more

Kunjip is a one of a kind restaurant in the bay that offers homemade Banchan, tofu soups, and Wagyu beef dishes. I was able to call ahead to be added to the waitlist which was amazing! On a busy Saturday we pulled up and was able to get seated immediately since we had already been waiting. They have a parking lot in the back which is really convenient. I was really pleasantly surprised throughout this whole meal. I was a little skeptical based on the price of the dishes but all the dishes have extremely high quality and fresh ingredients as well as huge portion sizes. Each dish is definitely worth the price and felt like a good value. My seafood tofu had 2 pieces of snow crab, 2 scallops, 3 massive shrimp and octopus! The soup had a great depth in flavor. The banchan is also unlimited they came around 2 times asking if you want any refills of specific items. I've never had a lot of the banchan they provided but they were all so delicious. The Wagyu bulgogi was great as well. We loved how they gave butter lettuce so you could make lettuce wraps with the meat. It was well seasoned and not overly salty or sweet. The decor of the restaurant is so pretty and comfortable. The tables felt very private and the bathroom was very clean and modern. I did end up finding out that Kunjip has the same ownership as 10 Butchers which makes total sense in their approach to experience and food quality. I would happily come back often to eat here and want to try more items off their menu! read more

One of the best modern Korean restaurant in town. We reserved couples days earlier. It was busy when we arrived. The interior is modern looks and doesn't assembled a korean restaurant. The menu is pretty comprehensive with option from tang, bimbimbap, grilled, tofu soup, and appetizer. Each person have to order one. The order come with individual tray for each one with set of banchan. The banchan is refillable except the abalone if I am not mistaken. This is the first time I have abalone as part of banchan. We ordered seafood pancake, kunjip tofu, octopus bimbimbap, seafood tofu soup, grilled markarel, and spicy pork bulgogi. The foods were yummy. Overall we enjoyed our dinner and it was yummy dinner with good service. read more

The food is sooo good, the service is great and the ambiance is clean and modern. I also love that the banchan is unlimited. I got the wagyu bulgogi the first time and the galbi jjim the second time. I enjoyed both but I personally liked the wagyu bulgogi more. It is a lil pricey but honestly worth it because of the quality! read more

Kunjip Tofu is truly a gem and must try! We ordered the Seafood Pancake, the Snow Crab Bibimbap, and the Wagyu Bulgogi Bibimbap. The seafood pancake is perfectly cooked, with delicious seafood flavors, and a balanced crispy texture. The pancake comes with a side sauce that adds a bit of spice and moisture - it was delicious and a great way to start our dinner! The Snow Crab was cooked tenderly and melts in your mouth. The Wagyu Bulgogi is cooked well and has a lot of rich flavor! Both bibimbap dishes come with a side of miso soup and various side options to mix in with your dish. Each dish comes with the ordered meat, rice, veggies, and crispy seaweed. My favorite side dish option was the shrimp patty. All side options elevate the bibimbap dishes and blend in perfectly! The meal ends with a small tasty dessert! The waiters were incredibly welcoming and attentive! The venue is beautiful and has a simple and elegant look to it. We arrived close to the opening time earlier in the afternoon, as it can get really busy! They have a small designated parking area next to the restaurant. I absolutely will be coming back to have more delicious Korean food! read more

This is our second time here, so excited to come back. We like that they are kids friendly, the highchair is nice and they get a kids drinking cup. But this time our server also completely disappeared, we saw her once in the beginning to ask for water but she never came back with water but I saw her go back to all the other tables.. So we had to flag down others to take care of us. Not sure if what happened was cause she didn't like my Caucasian husband or cause we didn't speak Korean... not impressed. Will do take out if we come back. We got the cinnamon drink, Wagyu galbi, seafood pancake, japchae and Wagyu bugolgi. Everything was solid. The Wagyu bugolgi was a bit salty. read more

A friend told us this place had quite the wait so plan ahead to get on the Yelp waitlist or get there as soon as they open at 11am to get seated. We did the latter and Immediately got seated. You get a timed spot for 75 mins. Food: Our group ordered the mushroom and snow crab tofu soups with medium spice preference. The entrees came with a side of several banchans. The banchans were unlimited and you could ask for more, standard in most Korean restaurants. The crab was sumptuous and the soup was flavorful without being too overpowering or spicy. The portion sizes were generous. One of the banchans were quail eggs which was very new to me. I loved everything! They provided a complimentary dessert. It was a red bean treat which was not too sweet and just the right size to conclude the meal. Service: service was efficient and attentive. We were offered Banchan refills multiple times by their staff carrying around a cart of all their offerings. Ambience: The dining room is upscale and the decor is quite nice - dim even during the day with their tinted windows all over. All their tables are standard booths for 4. We were impressed by the cleanliness and the brass utensils. Parking is available in their adjoining lot. Overall, I'd give this place a solid 4/5 for maintaining high quality across their menu items and for their upscale dining ambience. read more

Our friends have been recommending this place for a while now and we finally had the chance to get together and try it. We camefive minutes before opening on a Sunday and the parking lot was empty. We were the first in line but by the time the doors opened, there was a line behind us and the restaurant filled pretty much immediately. Like, where did everyone come from?? Rating Breakdown: 2/2 Stars for Taste -- We figured since "tofu" is in their name, we had to try their soondubu. I got the gopchang while my husband got the Japanese wagyu. Move over SGD, I've got a new favorite place for gopchang! The intestines were stewed so well that they practically melted in your mouth -- even my toddlers could chew it. The broth flavor was so deep, you could tell that they stewed the gopchang in it and didn't just throw it in last minute. The wagyu was rich without being nauseatingly fatty. My husband and I swapped bowls in the middle and were both struck by how the two broth flavors were distinctly different. We tried the beef tartare and agreed that while it was good, we didn't need our raw beef to be so fatty. We also tried some of our friend's galbitang and the meat was ludicrously tender and fall-off-the-bone. Every dish was excellent but we were truly blown away by the panchan. Everyone gets their own array of 10 small dishes and they also bring a cart around with refills. My favorite was the marinated quail eggs, I think I ate an entire generation of unborn quail. Other standouts were the fried shrimp cake and fried burdock root. I heard they used to give an abalone as well, but as my husband says "I would rather eat refillable quail eggs than one booger sized abalone". 1/1 Stars for Value -- Even though the prices are higher than your average tofu house, you get what you pay for. The soondubus ran between $26-30, but your average mom and pop shop is easily charging $20 these days. The silky delicious broth by itself is already worth paying extra for, the elevated panchan just sweetens the deal. 1/1 Stars for Customer Service -- I noticed that there was an unusual amount of kids in the restaurant but then I realized it is because they are extraordinarily kid friendly. Their high chairs were much nicer than the one I have at home (although that's not saying much). They also gave each kiddo a sippy cup of water and a complimentary wagyu rice ball. For the adults, they gave judgement free panchan refills and also a complimentary dessert at the end. Another nice touch was that the changing station was outside the gendered bathrooms, which allowed my husband and I to split diaper duties. I would recommend calling ahead to reserve a high chair if possible because I did see a family eyeing our high chairs when we left because apparently they had run out. Bonus star because I am already planning to come back so I can convert my sister and mom to worship at the altar of this gopchang soondubu. read more

Overall dining experience was phenomenal. There is a wait time but it is very much worth it especially with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate option. Once seated, the overall ambiance was bright and pleasant. The seating is plentiful. Servers are attentive. Upon receiving our food, I was shocked by the quality and quantity. The meat was so fresh and tender. All the bangchan was delicious and flavorful. Personally very impressed with servers asking if you'd like more bangchan. I enjoyed every minute of this dining experience and we will definitely be back. read more

Amazing!! Definitely a bit on the pricier side but I think it's really great for special occasions. I love that they have the hot beverage machine outside for while you wait to get seated. They have the milk coffee, black bean drink, and hot chocolate. I loved the black bean drink as it was so delicious and creamy! The inside has an elevated and upscale aesthetics. There were waiters going around with the banchan dishes for any refills. Each person is required to get their own entree. We got the wagyu galbi, galbi jjim, grilled mackerel, and seafood tofu soup. My favorite was the wagyu galbi. It was high quality, tender, and full of flavor. Wonderful experience! Will be coming back! read more

Hands down the best Tofu Soup spot in the South Bay. Worth every penny and every minute of the wait Food Quality Seafood Tofu Soup: Perfectly balanced heat, savory depth, and just the right amount of umami (not overdone!). Generous mix of snow crab, shrimp, clams, and scallops. Wagyu Galbi (Grill): Slightly smaller portion than expected, but the quality speaks for itself. Tender, not greasy, with a beautiful hint of smokiness Wagyu Seolleongtang (ox bone soup): Incredibly tender meat. We appreciate the quality although it's pricier than the OG Kunjip location Sikhye Sweet Pumpkin: A traditional Korean sweet rice drink blended with steamed pumpkin. Tasty, but at $10/bottle... Banchan (Side Dishes): Impressive variety and above average quality. A standout on its own Service Experience Weekend arrival at 11:30 AM, already a long waitlist; expect 30-45 minutes before being seated Hostess was warm and welcoming despite the rush Our server: a lovely Korean auntie who kept our table spotless throughout the meal Banchan refills were generous without even having to ask DIY leftover policy: They hand you a to-go box and bag so you pack your own leftovers Value for Money Pricing skews on the higher end, but the quality of ingredients and meat cuts justify the cost Not a budget meal, but a worthwhile treat. Cleanliness Restroom check (always a kitchen tell!): Two stalls on the women's side. The larger one we got is spacious and well-maintained Minor note: paper hand towels would be a welcome addition after washing up read more

Service was really good and ambiance is also really nice. Basically no wait on a weekday night This place was between 4-5 stars for me but I think I ordered the wrong thing. We got seafood pancake that was 5/5 - it had a really great texture. We also got the non alcoholic honey drink which was also good but not worth 10 dollars imo I got the tofu soon soup with mushroom, this was a bit of a let down . It was good but nothing special at a higher price point.. I think it needed a bit of salt and for the onions to be cooked more but after i added salt it was p good. Partner got the waygu bibimbap and that was allegedly good and I liked the sauces that came w it. Banchan was definitely elevated but aside from being fancy it tasted p similar to reg banchan it was a fun experience. I'd wanan come back and try the tofu bibimbap or maybe the large black cod option. read more

Finally got to try this place for my birthday! It is very spacious inside and a lot more upscale than the other Kunjip location in sc. service was attentive and food came out quick. Snow crab twigim: 5/5 nice and crispy and very tasty! Seafood Tofu soup: 4/5 I had a sip and it was rich and flavorful. Wagyu galbi: 3/5 my daughter loved it but i did not like the taste of the galbi. It was thick cut. I prefer LA galbi. Wagyu seolleongtang: 4/5 good but definitely a lot more bland than mine. Abalone galbi tang: 4/5 very good rice broth. They didn't skimp on the meat. Could have done without the abalone. Banchans were plentiful and yummy! Complimentary cube dessert: interesting dense cube, a bit sweet. Food is pricey $200 compared to the other Kunjip but it's good. Ps if you order to go you can order tteboki. read more

9.0. dinner, one of the best we've had in a long time. We ordered seafood pancake, seafood tofu stew, and wagyu galbi.

Insulated metal cups that kept drinks the right temp. Great banchans and variety. The banchan cart. Every dish was well-executed. Great service. Nice decor. Can't ask for more. read more

This is now my newest go to place for any celebratory occasions, or just a casual Saturday lunch. The restaurant decor is very inviting and modern and when you walk in, it feels like a completely different place. The servers are really friendly and give really great recommendations. There's a parking lot in the back and I have not had trouble with finding parking but I often see it very full. I've gotten the same thing every time - the wagyu kalbi - and I think about it often. Side dishes are refillable and very filling. Each one is a different flavor and there's no duds in the line up. Although this is more fancy/fine dining, I don't feel like it's exorbitant, the main dishes are very filling and good for the value in my opinion. read more

Apparently there is a Kunjip in Santa Clara that I found pretty mid, but this one in Mountain View wowed me - I am not sure if they are related but this one is a solid 5 stars experience. I showed up on a Thursday for dinner around 5:30pm without any wait, but if I showed up 10 min later, there was a 1+ hour waitlist as every table was occupied shortly after. This is definitely a bougie, modern Korean restaurant that redefines classics like tofu soup, galbitang, etc with more premium ingredients without much pretentiousness. I tried the Chilean sea bass twigim which is a type of fried dish, wrapped with gamtae (seaweed) which added a nice depth of flavor. It is pricy at $22 for 2 pieces, but this is actually my first time having twigim despite having visited Korea and explored the markets before. I probably would not pay this premium again, but I would recommend a twigim here based on the quality - it is memorable I also got the abalone galbitang. Normally, the soups are intentionally not salty so you can add the amount of salt to your liking, but here, they do it for you and it is the perfect amount of salt and flavor. It is served with a wide spread of banchan, including kimchi, quail eggs, crab salad, mini seafood patty, pickled vegetables, plantains, etc. I particularly loved the quail eggs which has some sesame oil below. I opted for purple rice as it is healthier and more traditional pairing to the various Korean dishes. In the galbitang, the abalone is quite fresh, and the meat is super tender, falling off the bone. read more

Recommended by a friend from the local area. We came here on a weekday for dinner. The resturant was very busy, but we were able to be seated in about 15min. I ordered the mix tofu soup. One unique feature of this restaurant is you get your own servings of banchans (Korean side dishes), and these are delicious! And you can get plenty of refills. The mix tofu soup is just delicious as well with large shrimps and whole scallops. Great service with very attentive servers. Pricing is a bit higher than other tofu soup places, but definitely worth it value wise. Plenty of parking at the back of the restaurant. Worth checking it out! read more

Waited 75 min on a Saturday but was able to call ahead of time to put myself on the waitlist since the Yelp waitlist was closed. When I arrived, I waited about 15-20 for my table to be ready.

Service - amazing, inviting, and friendly. Loved our service and everyone was very attentive. Ambiance - the decor is sleek and modern. Even the bathrooms were well lit and clean! A bit pricey for Korean cuisine but I'd consider this as a special treat or once in a while option. As long as you're able to endure the wait, worth checking out. Good for groups 2-6 as well.

Kunjip is easily my go-to spot for Korean tofu soup in the Bay Area. The soondubu (tofu stew) is absolutely packed with flavor--rich, comforting, and hits the spot every single time. It's the kind of dish you crave and keep coming back for. One of the best parts of the experience is the banchan. They come around with carts offering what feels like endless rounds, and everything is fresh and delicious. There's that saying that a Korean restaurant is only as good as its banchan, and Kunjip definitely lives up to it. Between the standout tofu stew and the constant flow of quality sides, this place really sets itself apart. If you're a fan of soondubu, this is a must-visit. read more

Kunjip Tofu - Korean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Overpriced and disappointing flavors. I've tried both takeout and dine-in here, and unfortunately, it didn't live up to the price point. The Aged Kimchi Tuna Kimbap lacked the acidity I expected. It was 95% tuna mayo, leaving the kimchi undetectable. This was especially frustrating as it didn't match the promotional photos where the kimchi and tuna are evenly portioned. Donkatsu and Vegetable Kimbap were also quite bland. For dine-in, we had the Galbitang and the Spicy Octopus Bibimbap. There were two abalones in the Galbitang, and they were tiny and tasted fishy. It was also served with Chinese-style thick glass noodles instead of the traditional Korean dangmyeon. Galbi was good and bibimbap was okay. While I appreciate the use of Yugi (bronze) tableware, the atmosphere isn't fancy enough to justify $90 for two entrees. To top it off, service was nonexistent--we weren't offered a single water refill. Not recommended. read more

Wow I was seriously so impressed by this place. I now consider this place one of my favorite spots in the Bay Area! There is a decently sized parking lot in the back. We came for an early dinner on a Saturday night...I think the groups that came at 6 had to wait upwards of 90 minutes. 1. Snow crab twigim 4/5 Really delicious with a light batter and a couple of sauces. However, each snow crab piece was $4 which seemed a little bit overkill. 2. Wagyu bulgogi bibimbap 5/5 My favorite of the ones we got! You can choose the sauce and I went with perilla soy, which was nicely flavored. 3. Snow crab tofu soup 5/5 Flavored really nicely with seafood you can actually taste. 4. Wagyu patty (duk-galbi) 4.5/5 This was sweeter than I was expecting but I liked that you can eat it with lettuce and varioius mushrooms/condiments. Overall I think it's pricey but for the amount of food (as well as variety of food) that you get, it's a must-try. The banchan were definitely the standout! read more

omg! I can't believe it took me this long to try Kunjip. I wish I came here sooner! This visit was for my best friend's bday. Ambiance: this is an upscale restaurant so the interior is quite nice. It would be a great spot for a date! It is a bit small so definitely join the waitlist in advance because the wait got exponentially longer as soon as I joined. Service: the service here is fantastic! From the greeters to our waiter, everyone was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Our waiter helped arrange our table for sharing and was constantly checking in on us to make sure things were okay. The food also came out quickly even though it was a busy Sunday dinner rush. Food: we started off first with the snow crab twigim. This was my first time having anything like this and I was really surprised. The snow crab was fried and came with 3 different sauces, all of which were really good. The banchan here is definitely unique and unlike any Korean restaurant I've been to before. I particularly liked the radish kimchi, anchovies, mini seafood pancake, and fish cake(?)! A server also walks around with a cart full of unlimited banchan refills as well. The Wagyu galbi was definitely the star for me. The pieces were THICK yet they were still very juicy and tender. It also came with bean paste and lettuce on the side for wrapping with. The tofu soup was also good, not mind blowing but I was pleasantly surprised at how much crab there was inside. Finally, they gave us a small red bean dessert at the end. Overall, I had a great time here! Everything was delicious. Yes, it was expensive but I would definitely come back! read more

Service is great, we came after work around 5:30 on Wednesday and there was no wait. But around 6pm the waitlist was ~1hr long so I recommend going early and joining the list! The menu is simple. We ordered tofu soup which came with banchan & complimentary barley tea. The ambiance is modern and well designed. It felt like a restaurant you'd find in Orange County or LA. I ordered the combination tofu soup and it came with scallops, shrimp, snow crab leg it was fresh and the seafood wasn't overcooked. It was a good experience and reminded me of a higher-end BCD Tofu house. Would come again! read more

love the kunjip for their seollongtang in Santa Clara, so was rly excited to try out their sister restaurant kunjip tofu!!

Started with the kimchi ssam which was super unique as I've never had anything quite like it before! The pine nut sauce was also really good that was paired w it! The seabass twigim also surprised me in a good way because I was expecting like a battered fish dish but it was seabass wrapped in this special seaweed covered over and paired with two other yummy sauces! I got the Wagyu galbi that was really flavorful and tender, the meat was even precut. The dish also came w lettuce and ssamjang to make a wrap as well as many different side dishes that they replenished and asked if we needed more! I thought the pumpkin side dish was really good bc it tasted like a unique version of potato salad which I always love! read more
