I do say this is my go-to spot for Korean comfort food in Arcadia at Omma Tofu House. Located inside 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. read more

During Covid, I ordered from here the most via Uber Eats. Mainly because they had the quickest delivery speed and most reasonable prices. 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. read more

Service was a bit slow tonight, I think it's usually faster. Maybe it's a slow Saturday night or less staff because it's close to closing time. We got the bibimbap and tofu soup. I was not expecting so many sides. Bibimbap felt like it was a little light on the meat ( I thought I didn't mix it well enough and the meat was all on one side) The soup was sold with a good amount of claim meat Well lit area, food court with music playing from the speakers read more

Absolutely love the idea of having a Korean restaurant inside of a food court. There's plenty of options to choose from at this mom and pop shop. My dad and I ended up choosing the bulgogi set. The meat was pretty juicy and the Banchan refills were unlimited. The Korean mom working at the establishment was super nice and she made sure everyone was full by the end of our meal. It was definitely refreshing to not feel rushed trying to leave our space. I will definitely recommend this place for those who want Korean food in a more casual space. read more

I loved this spot! The tofu soup was perfectly salted with just enough spice for a "medium" but I think i'll go for spicy next time. The bibimbap and pork was delicious and a generous size for the combo option. The banchan options were great. The service was kind and the pricing was fair and similar to competitors. We waited around 20 min for our food as it was peak dinner time but it was okay because the dried food stall worker came around with some free samples (perk of being located in a food court). read more

Omma Tofu House - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

Located inside the President Square Food Court, this spot shares a parking lot with the complex and offers complimentary water/tea, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Beef & Seafood Tofu Soup with purple rice. It came with a generous spread of side dishes: bean sprouts, a seaweed-onion mix, kimchi, fish cake, and potato salad. Compared to other tofu soup spots, the food was okay- not bad, but not memorable either. For me, the broth didn't quite have that comforting, "Omma-made" homey flavor I was hoping for. It leaned more toward salt and spice rather than depth. I also felt there wasn't much meat in the soup, and the shrimp tasted a bit off. That said, the tofu itself was cooked nicely and had a good texture. I did enjoy some of the side dishes, and the staff member who took my order was kind. This is very much an order-at-the-counter, seat-yourself kind of place, which works well for a casual meal. read more

I was trying all other restaurant vendors at the President Square Food Court. I said why not try Omma Tofu House, too. Btw, I do love tofu soup! Great to see this option at a food court. Tofu soups come with a variety of protein of choice such as beef, pork, seafood, etc. You can make it a combo by adding on another item such as sizzling plate or bibimbap or whatever else they have. Banchan of 4 items come with each meal. Prices were average compared to other tofu soup houses. I ordered the pork tofu soup + bibimbap for my eldest daughter. I got the seafood tofu soup + spicy teriyaki chicken for me. My daughter loved her pork tofu soup meal. YUM! I enjoyed my seafood tofu soup very much. Banchan was great. Gotta eat the bean sprouts quick otherwise it may get spoiled. Unfortunately, I had to toss out my bean sprouts. I ate everything else though. Good stuff! As for the bibmbap and spicy teriyaki chicken, we haven't gotten to them yet so we can't comment... they look good so I'm sure they are good. Staff was okay. Service was decent. Timeliness of the order readiness was a bit on the slower side, but then again, they were super busy so it's understandable. Wi-Fi reception could be better in this area. Shared seating are inside the bright and clean food court. Restrooms are available. Free parking at the President Square in Arcadia. Great place to grab some hot and delicious tofu soup meals on any day. Come by and try them out! I'll be back to dine-in for sure. Take-out experience is usually not the same as dine-in experience. Got to try them both. See you here! read more

Found this hidden gem in a food court that still has my favorite spicy squid. I ordered a few dishes to take home. This Korean place exceeded every expectation. The spicy squid was exceptional--delicately tender with a balanced, flavorful heat. The presentation, freshness, and seasoning were all top-notch. The side dishes were all delicious and the portions were generous. If you love bold Korean flavors, this spot is a must-try. I'll definitely be back read more

Omma Tofu House - Spicy Squid and Galbi combo - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

My favorite Korean tofu place near by house. It is conveniently located in a food court at a plaza with a supermarket, so there is usually plenty of parking. I have been here multiple times and I ordered the Beef Tofu Soup and the combination (Beef Tofu Soup + Bibimbap). The combinations are pretty worth but I have only tried the bibimbap one so far. For the tofu soup, you can choose different levels of spice and I chose the not spicy. And for to-go orders, I always ask to have the egg added inside. The tofu soup broth is very good and there is a good amount of tofu but the amount of beef is a bit sparse. They also give some side dishes which is free refill if you dine there. The side dishes are good and I especially like the fish cake and bean sprouts. For the bibimbap, its a good assortment of vegetables but it doesn't come with rice so it's good if you get it with the tofu soup. The tofu soup is cheaper than if you eat out at an actual restaurant. I usually get it to-go and I really like how their containers are eco-friendly. Just a note, they also let you choose purple rice which is cool and I always opt for this option with my soup. Totally recommend if you're in the area! read more

My go to spot after work when I'm hungry and want an affordable filing and nutritious meal. I. The 99 ranch plaza food court, so plenty of parking available. "Secret" purple rice is here, but you have to ask for it for those in the know. Depend on my mood but I get like a beef tofu soup and sometimes the Galbi combo to share if I'm hungry. Other times when it's hot outside I come here for their cold noodles, as it's close to home and hits the spot without having to drive out to k-town. read more

Since I'm in the food court at 99 Ranch in Arcadia and my sister wants some Korean tofu soup, we ordered from Omma Tofu House. You get some Korean side dishes and piping hot Korean tofu soup, which is ideal for a cold day. I wish there were more Korean side dishes, and the tofu soup was tasty and satisfying. Reasonable price, plus there is no need to tip because it is located inside the food court. read more

The perfect comfort meal for a rainy day inside a food court plaza! We ordered the extra spicy beef tofu soup, mild mushroom soup, and seafood pancake. The soups came out still hot and bubbling, which allowed us to crack in an egg to be poached perfectly. The soup was deeply flavorful, and was well complemented by the sticky purple rice (they give you the option of either white or purple!). The seafood pancake was one of the best I've had in the SoCal area, with super crispy edges and loaded seafood. Many seafood pancakes are too doughy or soft, but Omma Tofu House really blew me away with the generous portion, definitely worth the price. The side dishes, which included fish cake, kimchi, seaweed, potato, and bean sprouts also paired well with the hot food. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, which was not a problem considering other soup shops were very busy that day given the weather. The shop is tucked away in a corner of an indoor food court that shares a building with many other eateries, businesses, and Ranch 99. Parking was quite easy in the large outdoor lot. Would definitely be back again! read more

Fantastic Korean Tofu soup especially for being in a food court. If you get sit in you'll get everything you would get at a sit down restaurant on a tray like the hot bowls for the tofu soup etc. Loved that they also come with all the side dishes as well which was pretty plentiful. This is what I ordered. Spicy Pork and Tofu Soup Combo - This was such a great deal and the pork and tofu soup was delicious. Can't go wrong and price was cheaper than other spots. (5/5) Oyster Tofu Soup - It was great, very reasonable price and oysters portions were pretty generous. Great flavors. (5/5) Solid spot for delicious food in the food court. Also that means you can bring your own drinks or get different food that might fit your needs. We ended up returning the plates to the stall after finishing so a lot of self service. read more

It is indeed an ummas kitchen. The owner is friendly and speaks English and Korean fluently. Definitely felt like going to ur neighborhood or aunties house for some Korean food. The tofu soups have really great flavor and very decent for being small ran and in a food court. The nakji and ojingeu bap is uber delicious and didn't know but she said I could request it spicier (as I grew up eating that dish burning my mouth) which was nice to know. It was flavorful and good. Will be coming back as it's hard to find outside ktown. Self serve water which is great because if I wasn't so full I would've definitely added some hot tea or water on top of my neurungji made from the hot plate. Will be coming back read more

We visited this spot on a Monday afternoon at 12 PM. It is conveniently located in a food court with easy parking. Vibes were extremely casual as it was in a food court and service was adequate For our meal, we ordered the mild spicy seafood and beef tofu soup along with a bibimbap combo. The soup arrived piping hot and was accompanied by a generous selection of banchan. The bibimbap was also hot and fresh as well, served in a traditional stone bowl. The pricing is comparable to other Korean restaurants, which was surprising given the casual setting of a food court. I would've expected slightly lower prices. Despite that, the food was of quality and definitely satisfies a craving for korean tofu soup. read more

Omma Tofu House is located in a food court in a strip mall that is anchored by a grocery store and a large Cantonese restaurant. Plenty of strip mall parking. Omma had grilled items, tofu soup, noodle soups, bossam, appetizers, Banchan, etc... for take-out, delivery, or eat in at the food court tables. Order at the counter, receive a pager, pick your food up at the counter, eat at the food court tables, return the trays to the counters. Ordered: Combo #1 Kalbi & Tofu (Various options) Soup (Mild, Medium, Spicy), Combo #10 Bossam (boiled pork slices) & Tofu Soup. Seafood Pancake, and Spicy Cold Noodles. Food is passable for mall food but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there or take out as: Kalbi was dry, Bossam was dry and flavorless, and Seafood Pancake was pan fried top and bottom with imitation crab & seafood - dough bottom layer, seafood, and potato shreds on top. Expected better quality from the Yelp reviews. Ok if you're in the mall.... read more

Omma Tofu House serves really good Korean food even though they are located in a casual food court (President Square Food Court) next to 99 Ranch in Arcadia, Ca. Ambiance: Seriously no frills, you order, pay, wait for your food buzzer to beep, get your food/eat, bring your food tray back, then leave. If you do decide to eat there, the good news is the chairs are comfortable, the challenge is finding a table when the place is busy. Food: Their Beef Kalbi is seasoned nicely and tender; I'd definitely order this again. The spicy cold noodles (Bibim Naengmyeon) were perfect in this scorching hot weather- their house version is good. I got the tofu soup (soon dubu) as well and it was very tasty. The banchan was just ok. -Credit Card and Cash accepted. -Parking is shared in the 99 Ranch lot and should not be problematic on weekdays (weekends may be different). read more

I was craving tofu soup and seafood pancake and I am really glad I stumbled upon this restaurant. It's located in the food court in President Square mall near 99 Ranch. We ordered bulgogi + tofu soup (beef & seafood) combo and seafood pancake. All the dishes were pleasantly tasty. The tofu soup was sizzling and served hot with the classic ban chan spread (kimchi, fish cake, bean sprouts, potato salad, and seaweed & onion salad). My favorite was the classic seaweed & onion salad in vinegar sauce. The tofu soup could have had more meat and seafood but overall the meal was filling. One thing to note is the spice level seems milder than the ones in Ktown. I usually order mild but at Omma I think medium is the way to go. The bulgogi was on the sweeter side but surprisingly I really enjoyed the marinade. The seafood pancake was made with squid and imitation crab with crispy topping and it was a solid dish. Overall, I'm glad to have found a local option for Korean tofu soup and seafood pancake without having to brave the traffic and parking in Ktown. read more

Was craving tofu soup and the kimchi tofu soup from Omma Tofu House definitely hit the spot. I got the mild spice level and it was perfect. Soup was flavorful and the banchan was not bad either. Service was pretty fast. The food was ready after about 10 minutes. They remodeled the food court where Omma Tofu House is located recently, and there's plenty of seating. I went on a Saturday around lunch time, and the food court was busy but not overbearingly crowded. Would definitely recommend if you're ever craving a quick and lowkey meal!

Being originally from Koreatown, it's been hit or miss getting really good Korean food in the SGV. The one consistent exception so far has been Omma Tofu House! The woman, owner I think, who takes the order and calls is always very kind and attentive. The food quality is top-notch and the taste is amazing. Anytime my wife and I crave Korean tofu soup, we always come to Omma Tofu House. The name is perfect for the restaurant too because it really is like Mom's cooking! The side dishes are exceptionally fresh and tasty too!! Would totally recommend for anyone looking for some cozy, comfort Korean food. read more

Portions are the same as your typical tofu soup place and they have unlimited banchans (sides) too. I would say that their spice level isn't as spicy though!

They have galbi, bulgogi, spicy pork, along with all the sides, which are included with takeout. They also offer different soups eg bone broth, buckwheat noodles, and a variety of choices. Other than they can be slightly pricy ($25-30 for a combo), the portions are decent and can be for two meals. read more

Pros - for a food court this place is 5/5. Parking is easy Cons - It's no frills. straight up order and eat. I was craving cold korean noodles so I yelped, found this place and gave them a try. I got the spicy buckwheat noodles. Wife saw a picture of Jjajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce) on yelp and wanted that. We were given pagers and found a place to sit in the cafeteria. The customers around us were a mixed bag. The vibe I feel is totally random. But generally safe, clean, and welcoming. I was delightfully surprised when I found out that ban Chan (small side dishes) came with the order. Seaweed, tofu skin, bean sprouts, kimchi, and mashed potatos. The main dish itself was pretty good, the buckwheat noodles had a nice bite to it. Came with crunchy pickled radishes, cucumber, egg and beef. Broth was spicy, sweet, and flavorful I took a few sips after finishing the noodles. When we ordered the Jjajangmyeon, the chef/owner was called to see if we can get it. Then I was notified that it's not on the menu. I was also happy that they could accomadate us. I'm not a fan of Jjajangmyeon but my wife and son loved it. read more

My brother, his friend, and I ordered the spicy pork and the seafood tofu soup. It came with banchan (side dishes) and a small container of rice. We shared everything among the three of us. The spicy pork was really good, though it had a slightly grainy texture, probably from the gochugaru. It wasn't too spicy which was nice. The seafood tofu soup wasn't my favorite, but everyone else at the table liked it. It has a very strong seafood smell and taste, so it really depends on your preference. It came with an egg on the side and was served sizzling hot in a stone bowl. The most important part for me is always the rice, and I like mine fluffy and soft. This rice was a bit on the harder and drier side. As for the banchan, the kimchi was solid. My least favorite was the seaweed kimchi. It was very sour and acidic from the vinegar. Overall, despite a few things not being my favorite, the food was pretty good and enjoyable. read more

Omma Tofu House - Mul-naengmyeon and galbi - Korean Near Me - Arcadia, California

There wasn't a lot of Korean options I could find in SGV for a weekend lunch that included the regular tofu house kind of fare and that wasn't a place that BF and I were not returning to anymore. What caught my eye at Omma Tofu House was their cold buckwheat noodles, a perfect item to order on a hot summer day. I knew I didn't have enough appetite to finish their combo of galbi and cold buckwheat noodles, so I opted for the cold buckwheat noodles only ($14.99). BF ordered the bulgogi and beef tofu soup combo ($22.99). Everything really hit the spot. We've been back multiple times to try other things on their menu like their dolsot bibimbap, jajangmyeon, galbi, spicy pork, spicy grilled chicken, and seafood pancake. All were pretty solid. Our usual go-to now would be a solo order of tofu soup and a tofu soup combo with whatever protein we are in the mood for that meal. They refill banchan, so just bring back the empty plate to the counter for some more. The counter also has a self-serving water/tea machine so you can refill your cup too. Plenty of parking in the plaza. They close at 8 pm for all 7 days of business, so don't stop by too late, as the food court also tends to shut down around that time. read more

This is inside a food court with 3 Chinese food places, 1 Japanese, and 1 Korean place. Theres also a dried food place, a jeweler, and Coway and a slew of other strip mall stores. There's plenty of seating to dine in. Theres also plenty free parking. The food is very good, healthy, tasty, fresh, and made to order for spicy levels. You get a raw egg to break into the bubbly hot soup and it cooks. And they add a lot of clams to the tofu soup if you ordered the clam one. This tofu clam soup is the best I've had because of the number of clam pieces (even when I ate most of the soup, there were still 10 clam pieces) and the soup base. For $15 for most of the hot tofu soup bowls w side dishes it's a great meal and deal. I could eat here everyday! I appreciate food that tastes clean and fresh and Oma's is it. They also give free cold and hot water (barley tea). read more
