SEOUL TOFU is a solid option if you're craving some good old-fashioned Korean food. This replaced Witch Topokki but they didn't change much other than their food menu. You can still see traces of the old restaurant on the table and on their silverware. Seafood Pancake 10/10 - So crispy! I like pancakes that are crispy all around the edges and contain a lot of seafood. Grilled Yellow Croaker 8/10 - Good value but a tad too salty. Kimchi Beef Soon Tofu 9/10 read more

I really wanted to like this spot because I've been trying to find a place to fill the BCD Tofu void. Despite the good reviews, it unfortunately did not live up to the hype. Everything was very under seasoned and not very flavorful. And this is coming from someone who adds only minimal salt when cooking. What really put a bad taste in our mouths was when the check came. There were 2 different amounts of suggested tip. The first check was calculated off of final total (tax inclusive of the credit card price) and the copy after the CC was charged had suggested tip that was $1-$2 higher than the first check. So please be mindful of what you're actually giving as gratuity. read more

3.0 stars for Seoul Tofu for overall as the service was somewhat attentive and the food was okay. The menu is fast casual or they offer bowls/stews that are good for sharing. My family and I came by to try it as we liked the previous restaurant that was here. There's still a parking lot at that's a plus in this hood. The menu has enough protein options to satisfy even the picky eaters. The most memorable items were the seafood pancake and their ban chan. I'm guessing I didn't order the best stuff flavor wise but the cooking was also hit or miss. The rolled omelet was tasty as well as the steamed dumplings. But we had a miss with the grilled chicken. It was not advertised as spicy but indeed it was and terribly dry. The meat was thin cut pieces and served on a hot grill pan. But not tender and definitely packed heat which if I had known, I wouldn't have ordered it for my family. We also ordered the galbi tang and for the price, we got two large bones. The issue with this dish, the meat was tough in most parts. Too chewy. It was sitting in bone broth so I expected more tender meat but it was not the case. The extra ingredients in the bowl were good at least, some cellophane noodles and strips of egg. I noticed many other guests ordered bowls of noodles or stews. That might be the better bet. We did order fish cakes on a stick and tried the purple rice. Surprisingly, the white rice came with some peas. At any rate, it's a casual dining spot. I will not plan on returning. read more

My husband and I went to Seoul Tofu for dinner because I was craving something warm and comforting on a cold day, and soon, tofu really hit the spot. One thing I appreciated right away was that they have a parking lot in the back, which made it super convenient since we didn't have to search for street parking. It looked like there might've been an entrance from the lot, but we couldn't find it, so we walked around to the front. There was plenty of seating when we arrived, though it started to fill up as we were finishing our meal. I ordered the plain beef soon tofu, and my husband got the dumpling tofu ramen. I thought it was interesting that the rice is cooked individually and served in a metal container, which I hadn't seen before. The side dishes were good, and while my tofu soup tasted a little different from the ones I usually get, it was a nice change and still really enjoyable. Service, however, wasn't the best. It seemed like only two people were working, a mom cooking and her son serving. Because of that, it was hard to get their attention when we needed things like water or utensils, and we didn't actually get water until after our food arrived. Overall, the food was comforting and satisfying, but the slow service did affect the experience a bit. read more

Was craving some Korean tofu soup so decided to check this place out since there is no BCD Tofu around. There is free parking for customers in their small lot, which is a huge plus in Flushing where street parking is non existent. The restaurant is spacious and pretty cozy. We ordered the intestines soondubu and the kimchi with beef soondubu. The kimchi tofu soup was okay but not as good as BCD flavor. The intestines soup was so good though -- loved the flavor. The menu says tripe but it's intestines -- FYI. The banchan here was ehh, felt lacking in taste and variety. Overall, it was a good meal but I had to take a star off because the service was pretty lacking here. Waitress seemed a bit standoff-ish and not attentive enough -- maybe even a bit rude. read more

Came here at 6pm on a Sunday for a late lunch/early dinner. The place was near empty during this time. Service was on the slower side and we had to request water a few times before getting to drink. There were many combinations available on the menu. However, spice levels were not stated, and the options would default to spicy or no spice by request. The default spice level was not too spicy - only slightly higher than mild. Food itself was definitely delicious. read more

Spacious restaurant with friendly service. The ramen and tofu soup are pretty OK. But unfortunately there's only one level of spicy, which is not spicy at all to me. The stir fry squid is unfortunately pretty tough to chew. Overall it's an OK experience but I probably won't be a regular patron. read more

This place is right on the main stripe of northern blvd and not too far from the heart of flushing. Bonus that it has a parking lot. I really enjoyed the different stews this place had to offer and really enjoyed the banchan too. I had to order the steam egg and it was fluffy and flavorful with sesame oil and broth. The rice was a nice surprise though I wish I had opted to try the purple rice instead of white. I didn't realize the rice was cooked in Individual pressure cookers. I would def come back to try some more dishes. It was very affordable and the service was good. read more

They have a parking lot! Friendly service and yummy food. I really like the spicy pork - it's more on the sweet side with a peppery taste. The galbi tang is a new menu item and it was very flavorful with 2 large beef ribs. I liked the steamed egg as well.

Stopped by Seoul Tofu and ordered the beef soondubu with bulgogi combo, an assorted soondubu, and a seafood pancake. The soondubu itself was solid -- rich broth, soft tofu, and satisfying spice -- but nothing particularly unique compared to other Korean tofu houses. The combo portion was decent, though a bit pricey for what it was. The seafood pancake, unfortunately, was the biggest miss for me. It was very doughy in the center and lacked the crispiness you'd expect from a good pancake. Flavor was good and it had a lot of seafood, but the texture really threw it off. Service was friendly and the space felt clean and modern, but overall, the meal didn't quite justify the higher price tag. A decent stop if you're craving soondubu, but not one I'd go out of my way for. read more

Love the purple rice here! The soondubu were good, the seafood pancake was a little thick for my liking but very filling! The service was really nice and they checked on us a few times. The restaurant felt like I was in Korea, it was pretty quiet on a Weds night tho! Definitely will come back! read more

Not sure if you can guess what this restaurant's specialty is. Good portions of soondubu and some banchan to pair alongside with it. No frills service, and relatively quiet during the awkward time during the lull between lunch and dinner. Would visit again if I were in the area and in the mood for more tofu, but would skip if it's not your thing. Then again, what would compel you to visit a place with this name if you weren't into tofu? Yum. read more

This is prob my go to place for tofu soup from now on in flushing! BCD closed a while back and rumor has it they are trying to open a new location but until that day comes, this will be my go to. The seafood pancake is huge and has many toppings, and the tofu soup is flavorful and plentiful as well. I would def come back to try the other types of tofu soup but this time I got the seafood / beef tofu soup. Service was great and there were many seats. I hope this place does well so I can keep coming back! read more

The food and service is amazing! I love their seafood tofu stew, absolutely the best!

New tofu spot that I believe replaced witch topokki? The place is quiet and big and had tables available on a Sunday around 2pm. We did street parking further away, but I believe they have their own parking lot! We usually get soondubu at BCD, but this was a nice change. Their banchan included the same fried fish and also a small side of spicy pork! We had no complaints with the tofu soup - came out bubbling hot and it's set at about a medium spicy (they didn't ask us how spicy we wanted when we ordered). My husband said his didn't have too much filling (intestine), but mine had a decent amount of oysters so it might depend on what kind you get If tofu is not your jam, they have lots of other options on the menu! read more

Soondoboo here taste like shin ramen. I can't say it's a good or bad thing. It was just ok. They didn't ask us for the level of spice but it was either plain or mild. They also have combos to go along with it as well. I liked the rice came in a hot pot. Also, free refills on banchans. Plus side is that they have parking in the back. Would probably come here on a cold winter night. read more

The food here is really tasty. I walked in with a friend after work on a Thurs. evening and found it empty. I wasn't even sure if it was open. They have delicious banchan (very fresh). The purple rice was really a nice touch. Our waiter offered us hot tea. I would say 4.5 stars. We ordered the galbi and seafood soup. Both dishes were filling and yummy. I saw other delicious options in their menu that looked amazing. The only thing to improve was that it was not easy to find our waiter for the check even though before the meal, he was approachable and available. Otherwise, I would say altogether a good experience. I would go back. read more

Mom wanted something different and we stopped by for dinner at Seoul Tofu. Menu surprised me too, I always loved silky soft soon tofu soups with raw egg we add and spoon under the hot soup, if done right to cook till white is cooked and yellow center is half cooked, to each is own! Some surprising soon tofu options that I must return to try. Bunchan was nicely done and leveled up with complementary versatile tofu with spacious ambiance with outside under the subway track mural. Thank you serving staff for your helpful fast service! Definite recommend! read more

I came here for a very unusual reason which is that my favorite (former) FTISLAND member is one of the owners. He wasn't around during my visit but I had full anticipated that reality and wanted to pair that with my ability to leave an unprompted review. In things I noticed when walking up, they had put a sign saying that they've open from 8AM to 11PM which is different from the yelp hours and I'm too lazy to update. At 11 something AM on a Friday, I was the only customer for a couple of minutes. They currently have a promo for tofu soups if you come in the morning. It's not the clearest sign as not only did I ask for clarification but so did the other person who had come in after me. The sign just means that between 8 to noon, all normal tofu soups are $13.90 and the special ones are $15.90. I ended up ordering the kimchi beef tofu soup. I wasn't asked for a spice level which looking back is odd especially at a Korean place. It came with the option of white or purple rice which I chose purple. The banchan this particular day was lettuce with a dipping sauce, broccoli, fish cakes, bean sprouts, kimchi and a raw egg for the soup. I found all of them to be very fresh and light as well as primarily not spicy. The soup spice level ended up being mild which is great for me since I do go for mild but for a place that calls themselves Seoul Tofu, I find that it wild that there there aren't multiple spice levels, especially for a cuisine that's known for spicy food. I found the soup to be very hearty in ingredients which is both a compliment and a complaint. I was very quickly confused by the lack of soup in my soup. I'm not new to having tofu soup, so It's kind of baffling that it felt like I didn't have much soup to dip my rice in. It was very full of ingredients including button mushrooms which surprised me. I wouldn't say it's bad but definitely different and unexpected from every other tofu soup place I've been to. Also the purple rice was served in the containers I'm relatively used to seeing at BCD but instead of scooping out the rice for you, it's just given to you with a bowl. I'm used to seeing it scooped and then hot water poured into the original container so that you'll have a scorched rice soup. The only reason I point this out is because I don't understand the intent. There feels to be the implication that someone could ask for hot water for the scorched rice soup but I don't know because I don't tend to actually eat it. One of the things that had initially had me raising my eyebrows was the contrast of how many google reviews there were to yelp reviews. I typically find that if a place has organic reviews, the numbers while never the same, are usually within a reasonable ballpark of each other. This on the other hand was something hundred to less than 20. Now I don't believe people using yelp reviews is the target audience but to only inflate one website does mean I came into this adventure suspicious of how good the food was. As a southern Californian, this is not a place to go out of your way for. It's a decent spot if you're in the area and want tofu soup. read more

Authentic Korean Dishes with 5 Star service and 5 star Meals with reasonable pricing. I am a large fan of Kimchi but know very little about Korean cuisine, the gentleman whom served me was so polite and took the time to explain how each dish is prepared, supposed to be eaten and what everything was. My server went above and beyond and even ran up the street to return my hotel key I had dropped. This was also my very first time trying tofu and it was AMAZING. The Kimchi was perfect and the broth was delicious. Reminded me of the homemade kimchi my friends grandma would make. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and all of the food was prepared and served quickly. Incredible hospitality, service and Food. 10/10 restaurant and I will come back Everytime I'm in flushing. read more

Truly the most hostile and terrible service that I can recall experiencing at any restaurant anywhere in the world. We walked in at 9:33pm (11pm closing) after seeing the great reviews, and asked for a table for 2. The first two staff members who saw us did not acknowledge or respond to the request but instead looked back at a third staff member who rolled her eyes and looked unhappy. She approached us and, for some reason, decided to address us immediately in Chinese even though we had been speaking English in a Korean establishment. She said, "The kitchen closes at 10:30pm, can you manage that?" We thought it was an odd question with an unexpectedly aggressive phrasing, but we obviously didn't need nearly that much time to place an order, and we said yes. We got seated, and less than 5 mins later, the same lady came over to ask us if we're ready. We said we're not sure yet, and she rolled her eyes again and looked upset. We asked her for recommendations, and she scoffed and said, "What can I possibly recommend for you?" Awkward silence. She then said, "If I recommend something for you, it'll cause problems." I asked her what she meant. She said if she recommended something and we don't like it, then we'd blame her. She told us to order whatever we feel like and walked away. This place is around the corner from my parents', and I would have loved to become a regular here. Unfortunately, we were clearly not welcome at this business. Perhaps they were intentionally rude so that we would leave and let them close early. Or perhaps this is one of those restaurants whose gimmick is to be hostile to customers--that would be the most satisfying explanation. Perhaps we broke an unwritten rule about not entering restaurants within 1.5 hrs of closing, but they could have turned us away if so. I can't rate the food because we left without ordering. read more

Seoul Tofu - S2. Seafood Mixed Soon Tofu (순두부 해물 짬뽕탕) - Korean Near Me - Queens, New York

Seoul Tofu hits every note when you're craving something warm, flavorful, and deeply comforting; this is Korean comfort food done right. I came in on a chilly night with a serious craving and left obsessed. The soon tofu stew came out bubbling hot with the perfect amount of spice (I went medium and it was just enough to make my nose run--worth it). The tofu was silky, the broth was rich and layered, and the little stone bowl of rice on the side? Chef's kiss. The banchan was fresh, tasty, and constantly refilled -- special shoutout to the pickled jalapeños + onions. Service was super friendly and quick, and even though it was busy, everything still felt personal and cozy. I was here way before the pregnancy cravings... and I'll STILL be coming back even after the baby's born. This place is the kind of lowkey gem you keep in your rotation year-round. read more

I visited Seoul Tofu on November 2 for takeout and ordered the assorted soon tofu. They included three banchan (fish cake, kimchi, and bean sprouts), plus a mini fried fish, which was a nice surprise-similar to what BCD Tofu House offers. Everything was delicious, though the kimchi was a bit too fermented. The price is decent, and they have a lot of other options on the menu besides soon tofu. The employee was nice, and there's parking available in the back. read more

Amazing food and service. This is my third time here and it's great. They even have those fishes that BCD used to give.

Their tofu was bouncier than any other soft tofu I had. And they seasoned it well so it was also tasty. Rice was shiny and very sticky and we loved that texture. My seafood soup base could have more ingredients. My son's pork soup base had decent amounts of meat. Service and appetizers were both very good too. Will go again for sure. read more
