As a Korean food lover who has tried sundubu all over the Bay, I was initially skeptical of the higher prices here compared to other spots. We arrived on a Friday before noon and waited 45 mins. The ambiance feels upscale and thoughtfully decorated with comfortable seating, quality silverware, and even nice touches like plush restroom paper. They offer complimentary tea and small snack after a meal. Also let you choose between white or purple rice. The banchan was solid across the board; it leans on the saltier side, and the kimchi had that bold, savory fish sauce kick with some sweetness that made me want to eat more my rice. I ordered mixed tofu soup, and it was the richest, most flavorful tofu soup I've had. I was surprised by the generous amount of tender wagyu beef. Nothing tasted watered down or off. I usually get tired of the flavor halfway through and leave some behind, but I ended up finishing the bowl clean. Our server was also great, attentive with keeping our drinks full, and refilling side dishes without us having to ask. It's definitely on the pricier end, but the high food quality and exceptional service make it well worth it. I will definitely be back! read more

Kunjip Tofu - Mixed Tofu Soup - Korean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Called in at 7:22pm and was told we should be seated by 8:45pm. We got there at 8:35pm to check in like they mentioned and then was told it was going to be another 30 min wait. We checked in with the host again and she said our table was getting cleaned and we were next and then they called another group. In total, 10 more groups were called instead of us and we kept checking in and she kept saying we were next. We didn't get seated till 9:30pm. So did not appreciate the false timing and terrible communication. Servers were good and attentive. Ordered the snow crab twigim. That was delicious and would order again! The seafood pancake was a no. It was more of a shrimp patty and there was no octopus in it as mentioned. Very oily as well, but the sauce they served with it was like a cilantro jalapeño lime dressing which helped lightened it. If anything, it was a fried version of the shrimp patty they served in the banchan, but the shrimp patty had more shrimp chunks. Not worth the price. I ordered a very spicy seafood tofu soup. The server kept warning me it was going to be spicy and I was like bring it on. It came out.....mild, however the actual seafood in it compensated for it. There was a good amount of big shrimp, scallop, and snow crab. Also ordered the galbi Jim and it was cold. So that was not pleasant. Pieces were tender and others a bit fatty and chewy. Assuming they left off heat to not "overcook" however should have at least heated before serving. Banchans 10/10, but because we were seated so late and they closed at 10pm, when they refilled for us, they ran out of half of them which was sad. Overall, worth the wait we had to endure? No. Would I come back to try more things? Yes. Would not order the seafood pancake and galbi Jim again. Another thing, I placed an order for the gimbap at the beginning of our meal to go and they forgot it and was too late to order by the time we finished at 10:00pm (: read more

Delicious food, nice interior and vibe, and excellent customer service. We tried a lot from the menu and you honestly can't go wrong with it. Our faves were the crab tempura, the soup, and the grilled fish. Our server was so funny and attentive! Also, they come around to offer more banchan (side dishes) if you want more. I'd love to come back but the waitlist was really long. Definitely worth the wait though! read more

Came here with family on a Saturday afternoon and really enjoyed the overall experience. It feels a bit more upscale for Korean food. we kept noticing how nice the bowls, plates, and utensils were lol. K-pop playing in the background also gave it a fun vibe. The seafood pancake was really unique. It felt more like a fried seafood patty than a traditional pancake, with a crispy outside and a light, slightly spicy sauce. Everyone orders their own entree, so it's a little harder to share family-style. Portions are individual-sized, but the unlimited banchan was super flavorful. A server comes around with a cart to refill everything, and service was friendly and attentive. I got the beef tartare bibimbap, which was fragrant and really well balanced. I also got a bite of the galbi jjim, which was pretty solid. I snuck a few bites of the seafood tofu soup and OMG the tofu was SO soft and silky. It came with big chunks of good-quality, shell-less seafood, so it was super easy to eat. We got mild and it was perfect. Next time, I'm definitely ordering this for myself. Overall, really solid upscale Korean food with great service and quality. Will come back again when I am looking for a place to impress my friends :) read more

I finally tried the Mountain View location of Kunjip this year and really fell in love with it! The vibe is so modern and clean. The imagery of mountains it's really cool. Feels like a classy cafe/restaurant in the bougiest part of Seoul in my mind. Food is great too. All the banchan they give you is really visually aesthetic and delicious. The entrees like tofu soup and bulgogi are expertly made, the portions are reasonable and the prices are pretty decent for an upscale spot. Servers and hosts are all very pleasant and welcoming, and wait times are quick (once you're seated, as there's usually a wait each time we go.) All in all this is one of my new favorite spots and I'm so close by! read more

Heard so much about this place and so happy we got to try it finally. Right when you walk in you are hit with refined and opulent vibes. Gold and wooden tones with clean white booths. The service was top notch even as they were busy. As we were waiting for the host, another patron came and stood in front of us to which the host noticed right away and politely and professionally took us in first. We were seated and our waitress was as professional as many fine dining restaurants with impeccable posture and attentiveness while taking our order. It's really the little things that set great places apart. Food: -Chilean sea bass twigim - like the most airy and crisp fried fish I've ever had matched with the butteriness of the fish itself Yookhweh - pretty good but came out slightly frozen still. Needed to warm up a bit to get more tender. Galbi - so rich yet tender with sweet and savory sauce, super delicious and it came with lettuce wraps Seafood tofu - a bombshell of flavors with big succulent portions of seafood, the tofu itself was actually quite special, soft like silken tofu, but still had good body and a bit of firmness. It tasted super clean. Spicy pork Bibimbap - delicious as well but less vegetables then we've seen other places. This was super filling and rich. For me to standouts for the tofu soup and twigim but the overall experience was top-notch and I can't wait to go back. I just want to try everything on their menu read more

Kunjip Tofu is a an upscale Korean restaurant that is known for its soft tofu soups. The interior of the restaurant is very modern, and lends to a vibe of sophistication. The wagyu gopchang tofu soup was well seasoned and tasty, and every single banchan dish that they had was amazing! Servers come around to refill your banchan, which is all you can eat. Definitely a place to try if you're craving Korean! read more

Kunjip Tofu - Korean Near Me - Mountain View, California

I have been going to the original Kunjip in Santa Clara for a while; it's my go-to spot for a homey korean meal and the best galbijim and naengmyeon in town in my opinion. I wanted to give this place a try as I heard it's pretty different and a bit more upscale. No reservation system, however you can Yelp wait list. If you aren't within Yelp waitlist proximity, you can call them and they will add you to the wait list about an hour beforehand. Once you get there, it's about another 5-15 min wait. I took my parents and sister here for a family dinner when I was in town. Each person has to order one entree, and you get your own set of many little banchans. At first glance it seems pricy, but every entree we ordered was delicious. The banchan were also so good and well prepared - none of them were overly salty or fermented. We all agreed this was an excellent experience, and it is so rare that all 4 of us are on the same page about any 1 restaurant. They were also very good about periodically coming by with all banchan to let you choose which ones each person wanted to refill. We got wagyu bulgogi bibimbap, wagyu galbijim, seafood tofu soup, and spicy octopus bibimbap. The wagyu galbijim was extremely flavorful and melt in your mouth tender. Seafood tofu soup had large chunks of seafood. It is not the same style as a home-styled soondubu, but it is more similar to 10 Butcher's style. Surprisingly, the spicy octopus was very tender and had large tender chunks as well. The wagyu bulgogi was flavorful without being too salty. We also got a seafood pancake to share, and each bite was so full of seafood and barely any starchy filler. They also end your meal with a palette cleanser of a jujube rice cake. read more

The beef bulgogi was so good! The meat was flavorful, tender, and came out sizzling. I also loved how many different banchan (side dishes) they give you-it was fun getting to try a little bit of everything, and everything paired really well with the bulgogi. Definitely recommend coming here for Korean food, but just a heads up that the wait can get pretty long at night, especially during dinner hours. Worth the wait though! read more

I understand the hype now and the hype is real! After hiking with one of my gfs, she suggested grabbing lunch here since its one of her current favorite Korean restaurant. She mentioned the only thing is that we need to get there right when the restaurant opens which is 11AM or we will most likely have to wait for 1.5hrs. So we cut our hike short and was the second party in-line. I wanted to try everything on that menu but decided on the mixed tofu soup + braised kalbijim. I like our entrees but the star of the show is definitely the ban chan. They had this one particular radish that I couldn't get enough of, I would go back just for the ban chan. I had many tofu soups in my life but the one of here is so different. It's not homey but just very elevated. Actually, all their dishes were elevated. The kalbijim cuts of meats were super tender and well worth the price. We also order the shrimp kimbap to go and that was also amazing. I will definitely come back to try this place but maybe with a few more friends so we can order a variety of dishes. read more

My friends and I had dinner at Kunjip on a Saturday night with a reservation. I highly recommend making a reservation as this place gets busy around dinner time. There were so much good options but I was still very full from lunch so didn't want anything too heavy so I opted for the mackerel set that came with doenjang soup, purple rice, and a assortment of banchans! I like that someone comes around to refill your banchans. They are unlimited refills so eat away! The mackerel was grilled to perfection and I loved it so much that they gave you wasabi on the side. It helped cut the greasiness! Afterwards, they give you a little dessert but I wasn't a fan of it. Next time, I do want to try their galbi Jim or soups! read more

My wife and I stopped by Kunjip Tofu for lunch on a Saturday and we showed up exactly when they opened at 11:00 a.m. There was a long line outside, but we were fortunate enough that we were able to make first seating. After getting seated, we were promptly greeted and offered either complementary hot tea or water. If you're not familiar with the menu here, each person is required to order their own entree, most of which start around $28. My wife ordered a mild tofu soup with mixed proteins while I ordered an abalone bibimbap. In addition to our entrees, we also split a seafood pancake. I'm not the biggest fan of seafood pancake, but the one here is distinctly different than any that I've ever tried before. The texture of the pancake actually tastes very similar to shrimp toast. There's no shortage of seafood in every bite and the pancake is perfectly crispy without tasting oily. The pancake here is on the smaller side, but one pancake is more than enough for a group of 2-3 to share. The abalone in my bibimbap entree is skillfully prepared. There was no rubbery texture at all and the four abalone pieces were all very plump. The stone bowl the bibimbap arrived in wasn't blistering hot, but the bowl still managed to crisp up a bunch of rice on the bottom of the bowl. I appreciate that the spicy sauce is provided on the side so you can control how spiciness and salty the dish is. I absolutely love that each entree comes with an assortment of 10 different types of banchans. My favorites were the imitation crab slaw, the quail eggs, the shrimp cake, and the pumpkin puree with apple chunks. There's a staff member carting around refills of every single banchan, so don't hold back on enjoying your favorite banchan items because they come with unlimited refills. While the food here was fantastic all around, the highlight was truly the service. The warm hospitality of each staff member we interacted with was memorable and greatly appreciated. Special shout-out to Jinny as well, who helped us quickly resolve a small issue where we received white rice instead of purple rice with our tofu soup. If you're looking for next level Korean food with spectacular service, look no further than Kunjip Tofu. I cannot recommend this spot enough. read more

Kunjip Tofu - Tofu mix with purple rice - Korean Near Me - Mountain View, California

Good but hard to say if is worth the wait if you have to wait longer than 30/40 mins. I believe the avg wait can get pretty long on weekends. Luckily I got there for an early dinner like 5pm and was seated in about 20 mins. All the entree come with their own unlimited banchan and it's kinda plated individual style instead of family style though you can just share Food- Snow crab twigim: this is basically a fried crab leg. Def real crab. It was good. Japchae: small portion but tasty. They use like a wider flat noodle which I found interesting. The taste was basically the same as regular japchae but with a little elevation such as the nori as well. Wagyu galbi: was def tasty. Par for the course at premium kbbq restaurants A5 tofu soup: good and the beef quality is def better than what you find at most tofu soup spots but a5? I low-key feel it wasn't all that tender. Not sure I'd get this again Wagyu beef bulgogi bibimbap: solid bibimbap. The rice was crispy. It was good but I prob wouldn't get again mainly just due to I feel there were better dishes Seafood pancake: this was an interesting take on the seafood pancake. It kinda tastes like those shrimp cakes except there's other seafood in it as well but the main part is the shrimp cake. Was good and fairly interesting. Would def recommend at least trying once Overall, food was solid but dunno if I'd go all the way from San Jose and wait 40+ mins etc tho I wouldn't mind eating again if I was in the area read more

Bottom line: upscale, fancier versions of some of your K favs, FLAMEY galbi. Vibez: located off El Camino, just outside downtown Lou rain view towards Los Altos, sits the shop with its own parking lot. Chic decor and seating arrangement, mostly booths but some can accommodate large groups. Service was excellent, had no issue getting banchan refills. Service was so good, I'd come back because they made it feel so easy to enjoy the food. Bathroom: men's: notably, classy electronic music played that wasn't in the restaurant. Made it enjoyable to visit. Clean. Only had a hand dryer. Seafood pancake: you know what I liked, it wasn't a giant thing. It was tasty, three bites a piece, four pieces total. Crispy, flavorful, nearly FLAMEY. Galbi: it was expensive, but each bite was FLAMEY. Fatty goodness, tender melty, sweet and a little salty. Great with the lettuce wrap. And you know what, they refilled it every time the lettuce ran out. read more

Worth the price tag! Kunjip is definitely a more expensive Korean restaurant for the area but the service, the ambiance and the food quality makes the price worth it. We ordered the Japchae, spicy octopus bibimap, a mixed tofu soup and the grilled spicy pork. Everything was very well seasoned and came out very quickly. The kimbap was very delicious and colorful. They have a cart that comes around to replenish your kimbap when you run out! The Japchae had a flat thicker noodle which gave the noodle more chew and held the sauce very well. We arrived at 4:30pm on a Sunday and were seated immediately. By the time we left, there were many groups waiting for a table. read more

This place has such an incredible reputation and the food really is solid, but I think you can find better for cheaper elsewhere in the Bay. The tofu soup is packed with flavor and umami. We ordered the snow crab tofu soup and it was filled with tender seafood. The kalbi jjim wasn't great though. The sauce had too much of a mole-like taste and texture to it. I much prefer the kalbi jjim at Daeho. The bonchon dishes are where this restaurant really stands out. I think they may be the best in the Bay. You get a huge variety and each is beautifully and deliciously prepared. They also do a wonderful job of constantly replenishing dishes that you finish. Speaking of which, the service here is phenomenal. The setting is also upscale and super classy. read more

My sister and I were in need of a good location to enjoy lunch. She has had Kunjip Tofu on her radar for quite some time so we decided to pull the trigger and make the drive. If you didn't already know, KT is considered an upscale restaurant specializing in traditional Korean cuisine. The Wagyu beef dishes and the premium tofu soups will leave you craving for more. Due to the high ratings and non stop foot traffic, reservations are highly recommended and come here expecting a wait regardless of doing so. Lunch: *Sikhye Pumpkin- Korean Sweet Drink *Abalone Galbi Tang *Spicy Wagyu Oxtail Jjim [medium spice level] *Japchae *Chinese Date Dessert Thank you to Ms. Jennifer for being so patient, helpful, and informative with the menu and its offerings. Your input did not fail and your attentive service is unmatched. Food: Everything was delicious, including all 10 of the different banchan provided. My most enjoyed sides were: seasoned squid, pickled radish cubes, & the crunchy root. The japchae was good- nothing great. The best part of this dish was the thick chewy noodles, flavors were alright. The abalone galbi tang was delicious- the broth was clean, beefy, and deep in flavor. The huge chunks of meat were tender, falling right off the bones. The spicy wagyu oxtail jjim was the highlight of my meal. Oxtails were cooked to perfection- tender, gelatinous in the right places. The sauce was rich, flavorful and tasted so good smothered over the purple rice. 10/10, I would recommend the oxtail jjim to everyone! 5/5 stars for the yummy eats. Pricing is kind of high IMO and the portions are small but the high quality and delectable taste is undeniable. Another 5/5 stars for the staff who is all so very kind and pleasant. Jennifer, you honestly made our very first visit so memorable. We cannot thank you enough for your time & sweet service. ** I'M A FAN, Y'ALL!! I guarantee you will be too!!** read more

As a Korean, Kunjip Tofu is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the bay area. While it doesn't necessarily have a traditional Korean vibe, but more of a modern take on Korean dishes, it is truly delicious and highlights Korean cuisine. The vibe here is more classy and high-end. The hosts and servers are very polite with a polished aura. It does always have a wait, even on weekdays, so consider joining the line beforehand on Yelp. They give you a lot of delicious side dishes (banchan) that are unlimited refills. read more

I ordered to-go and was thoroughly impressed! Packaging is fantastic and the banchan selection is super diverse. You only get a little bit of everything and so I do recommend going to the restaurant for a dine-in experience where you could ask for re-fills (I was too tired after my flight). The spicy pork belly was well seasoned and had a really fresh taste to it. I order this at many restaurants, but the marinade really shined on this one. I wish it came with a little bit more meat, but they did include a lot of vegetables. You're definitely paying a premium for their food and I think they do their best to show that with their ingredient quality and packaging. They really do go the extra mile, but it did fall short in some ways. The rice was a little mushy and again the portions for to-go are a little tough to swallow the price for. I'd definitely come back to dine-in and think that would be a 5/5, but for a splurge to-go order: definitely great, but not perfect to give it 5 stars. read more

4/5: Would have been 4.5/5 if it weren't for service. I was not impressed with service. Once we sat down, I was asked how many water for us and that water never came until I asked again after we finished our appetizer already. Water was never refilled either. Not sure if there is specific water for each row of table booths. This is basic. Come on! Seafood pancake: It wasnt anything spectacular. Maybe, my expectation was higher for this dish since its one of my favorite. Bulgogi: This was really good. Sauce and flavor on the meat is just right and not overpowering with sauce or greasy with common korean palces. Tender too! Seafood soup: This was really good both and fair amount of seafood in there. The flavor of the broth itself is savory and not the typical korean soup taste I have come to expect in a good way. Was just disappointed with the service. read more

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

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

This Korean spot is definitely on the pricier side, but I have to say, the food is good! Service is attentive, and they keep the banchan coming. One thing I really liked is that everyone gets their own set of banchan, so there's no need to fight over the good stuff . The Wagyu galbi was tender and flavorful, the bibimbap had a nice crispy crust on the bottom, and the tofu soup was flavorful without being overly heavy. The braised oxtail was also really good -- the meat practically fell right off the bones. They also have sikhye, but it's $10 a bottle. I guess the glass bottle is worth something? My only complaints are the price and the fact that, for a fancier Korean restaurant, they keep rolling out a big cart to collect dirty dishes. It feels a little out of place with the otherwise upscale atmosphere. Overall, definitely a splurge, but the food and attentive service make it a good option for a nicer Korean meal. 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
