    beef soon tofu
    Ruby L.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Chicken Ginseng soup, seafood pancake

    Been to Seoul tofu for the sixth times already. We always get their chicken ginseng soup, chicken is not dry. Banchan has 6 different varieties of veggie and fish cake. Parking in the back is a bonus.

    Galbi tang
    Tiffany L.

    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. Everything was well made and delicious - will be back to try more items!

    Korean

    Very good I have been here many times good food great service with location near transport and in Korean area

    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!

    Waheda I.

    Neat clean restaurant. Service was prompt. Menu had a lot of options. I enjoyed the food and calm atmosphere. It's a new restaurant. I'll be back to try other options.

    Seafood pancake
    Joseph H.

    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!

    Pork Dumpling Stew
    Mike L.

    Very friendly waitstaff, super accommodating and kind. Going to be a recurring customer for sure, the tofu stews hit the spot (pork dumplings and seafood). The seafood pancake is amazing especially with their house sauce. Honestly a great switch from Witch.

    Kimmy U.

    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!

    What a neighborhood GEM!! Kuku Korean was fantastic! Fresh, tasty food at reasonable prices!…read more We (6 of us) were in the neighborhood for a Valentine's Day celebration and searched Yelp for a good ethnic restaurant in the area. We came across Kuku Korean and said YESSS, this is the place to go! The only wrench in our plans was that Kuku Korean doesn't take reservations; not even on Valentine's Day! They warned us that they expected to be very busy that evening, and to expect a wait. Ok, we made plans to go, but also made a Resy with another restaurant close by, as a backup plan in case there was a long wait for a table. But really, Kuku Korean was our preferred first choice. After our V Day event, we rushed over to Kuku Korean to see what the wait time was for a table for 6. It was just after 6pm, and the stars were aligned for us, because we got the last large table available! Woo Hoooo! Happy Valentine's Day to us!! We quickly cancelled our Resy with the other restaurant (sorry!) and perused Kuku Korean's fabulous menu. Our MENU (shared by 6ppl): ~ Seafood Pajeon ($24/large): Crispy battered pancake made with green onions & seafood (mussels, clams, squid, and shrimp). This was phenomenal! So much seafood and such a comforting dish...get this! ~ Veg Japche ($21): Stir-fried Korean vermicelli with Kuku soy-garlic Japchae sauce and assorted veggies. This dish was also available with various proteins but we opted for Veg since we were ordering other meat dishes. This dish was so flavorful and delicious. ~ Kuku Bibimbap ($24): Seasoned vegetables over rice, topped with a fried egg. Served with Kuku spicy bibim sauce. Again, you have the option of adding protein to this dish but we kept it veg. Another great dish! ~ Pork Galbi ($28): Char-grilled Pork ribs marinated in Kuku sauce, served with sauteed onions. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. The pork was cut in thick slices, which was surprising, but wow, this was phenomenal! So tasty and lean, and just delicious. ~ Beef Bulgogi ($33): Sauteed thinly sliced beef rib-eye marinated in Kuku sauce with mushroom, Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. Another phenomenal dish. Bursting with flavor. -- Spicy Squid ($28): Stir-fried squid in spicy Kuku gochujang sauce, onions, hot pepper and carrot. Served with kimachi, daily banchan & purple rice. This squid was prepared perfectly; not over cooked nor rubbery! Great dish. - Ban Chan: generous unlimited servings; fresh & delicious. These 6 dishes, plus Ban Chan was perfect for 6 ppl to share. We finished everything and were fully satisfied. Every single dish was delicious and we ALL said we wanted to return to Kuku Korean to repeat some dishes and try new dishes. Customer service and atmosphere were great. The busser staff did an amazing job and were even more attentive than our server (who we only saw twice)...kudos to the bussers! They were so hard working, with a smiling, friendly attitude! Give them a raise! Looking forward to a return visit to Kuku Korean...hopefully SOON!!

    Nice staff and attentive. Helpful when asked about dishes and preferences…read more Ordered a kudzu and a chi bap. Both were flavorful and did not disappoint. The chilled kudzu was nicely presented and consistent since my friend has had it several times.

We also came at a weird lunch time around 2pm so it wasn't really busy and we were seated right away. Once you enter, you'd quickly notice the very detailed beautifully hand painted murals on the walls and an abundance of painted butterflies. The attention to detail is impeccable! The menu is also very cute and I'm guessing handmade. It was pretty detailed and we appreciated learning about each dish before deciding what to order. We ended up ordering the Kimchi Pancake with seafood, the spicy bulkoki udon and the jeyuk udon. The kimchi seafood pancake was super crispy and filled with squid and shrimp! It also came with a semi sweet dipping sauce that paired nicely. Both udons came out piping hot and fresh! Udon had a nice chew to it, was loaded with vegetables as well as meat for each dish. The egg was fried and did not have a runny yolk. For sides, they gave us 4 things- a tomato salad, kimchi cucumbers, braised string beans, and bean sprouts. The tomato salad came in this cute apple shaped dish but neither of us really cared for it- this is completely biased though since we're not really fans of tomato. What we really did love was the kimchi cucumbers! Also at the end, they served us 3 pieces of cantaloupe which were very sweet. Overall, yummy food, cute shop, and friendly/nice staff! I'd come back to try their other food options in the future!

She couldn't catch 1 second of break :( Food wise, we got their 2 person combo of spicy pork gamja tang and spicy rice cake which came with the steamed egg. Everything was so good, egg was extra fluffy, rice cake was delicious and the meat came right off the bones. They take a good variety of side dishes. My partner wasn't a fan of the gamja tang but due to feeling it's a hassle to eat meat with bones, so those who fee sim may agree. We also asked for the fried rice after we finished the gamja tang, for 2 servings I think it was $4.75 or something. I really enjoyed it but I guess I like scorched rice, also something my partner doesn't enjoy so those we feel sim just note. Environment feels very old school, well worn. Feels cozy. It can get loud very quickly on a Saturday night as this place seems to be a hit for large parties. Since the wait staff is short handed, expect a bit of a wait for things. Don't come if you're in a rush.

Everyone got a cold and refreshing cabbage soup as well as a very tasty version of Braised Tofu/Dubu-jorim/두부조림. Once we ordered, we also got a bunch of other banchan, including cabbage, radish, and cucumber Kimchi, broccoli and cauliflower Namul, Marinated Mushrooms/Beoseot Bokkeum/버섯볶음, Anchovies With Peanuts/Myeolchi Bokkeum/멸치볶음, and Potato/Gamja Salad/감자샐러드. One of the other things brought out was a pretty tasty version of Raw Soy Sauce Marinated Crab/Ganjang-Gejang/간장게장. Most of these were refillable. The first actual thing that arrived was something that I can't eat, the $22.99 Seafood Pancake/Haemul Pajeon/해물파전. I have a cephalopod allergy, or in other words, anything with tentacles, so I avoid squid and octopus, and seafood pancakes always contain one of those two. Everyone else enjoyed it, though. The pajeon I could eat was the Kimchi Jeon/김치전 for a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, though I prefer other spots that had a bit more of a crisp. Next was one of their signatures, the grilled duck. Going from online reviews, we went with the non-spicy version, as people prefer it, as the spicier marinade overpowers the duck. This was the $29.99 Sang Ori Gui/생오리구이. The sliced duck was on a hot, sizzling plate, with there also being a lot of grilled onions and scallions. The duck had a mix of pieces, ranging from fatty to less so, and had a nice mix of textures. This was easily one of my favorites, though I liked it even more when paired with the ssamjang that arrived with the BBQ, as the sauce balanced the light fattiness. Arriving at a similar time was the last thing I couldn't eat, the Spicy Stir-Fried Baby Octopus on Iron Plate/Jjukkumi Cheolpan Bokkeu/철판쭈꾸비볶음, for $30.99. I couldn't try the octopus, but the portion was plentiful, and I had a bit of the noodles on the bottom after making sure there were no tentacles, as well as trying the sauce. The sauce was tasty, spicy, and very flavorful. We went with two of the Korean BBQ meats, one beef and one pork. My preference of the two was surprisingly the $49.99 Charcoal Grilled Marinated Beef Ribs/Yangnyeom Galbi/양념갈비. This also came with two veggies: kabocha squash and asparagus. The beef was extremely tender, had the perfect mix of fat and meat, and had only a light sweetness from the marinade. This was absolutely delicious and very much worth the price point. Also tasty was the Grilled Pork Belly/Samgyeopsal/삼겹살, for $36.95. This also came with a few things, including cabbage and a large mushroom. The pork belly was delicious, being just fatty enough and very tender as well, with a mild chew. The BBQ came with a few extra side dishes. This included a tasty steamed egg/Gyeran-jjim/계란찜, greens, an onion salad, ssamjang, salt, and a small boiling pot of soybean stew/doenjang jjigae. They were all tasty, though nothing particularly notable outside of the portions being generous. Also, at the end of the meal, they gave us some sujeonggwa. Not much for me to complain about this place. The food was very tasty overall, and the service was wonderful. I would go back and order a full beef BBQ set.

You would think we would order Chinese food but we ended up here. No regrets though. We ordered the pork bbq and it was delicious, presentation was good along with the banchan side dishes. In addition, I also received the gaejang (marinated raw crab) which was a nice touch. We also ordered the daegi gukbap (pork soup with rice), a comfort dish and kimchi pancake which was really tasty. Our server was good. We arrived past the busier lunch hourso this was a pleasant non-hurried experience.
