    The return of one of my favorite restaurant in Reno. I used to go to Tofu House when it was on Moana. I didn't take a picture of my tofu soup. The assorted tofu soup was full of that umami flavor and lots of beef and seafood. The seafood pancake was loaded with scallops, calamari, baby octopus, and shrimp. A real delight if you love green onion. My husband got the bulgogi bibimbap and he said it beats the other restaurants in town by a landslide. We will be back.

    Chicken Teriyaki / 치킨데리야끼
    Brandon W.

    We had a wonderful dinner yesterday evening at Tofu House with friends, where we ate a variety of their entrees. I had the Beef Bibimbap which includes a bowl of assorted vegetables over white rice with Korean chili paste serve served with a fried or seasoned egg, we then enjoyed their crispy fried chicken which was delicious (fried whole chicken - half-and-half) , chicken teriyaki entree, along with their soup (forgot which one, with many assorted flavors from beef to veggie, tofu and pork) in which my wife and friend Goose would have. Service this evening was okay. Our waiter who was also our cashier didn't quite have that warm customer service embrace one expects or wishes to enjoy, when visiting a restaurant--definitely a change from our first visit (this being my second). The ambiance or vibe of the restaurant was sober, calm with a few patrons including a friend I hadn't seen in a while enjoying their meals. There are no TVs or background music I could hear, just food and conversation which isn't bad at all. Overall, we really enjoyed the food, but obviously we hope the customer service experience improves and engagement feels a bit more warmer, tried or an effort is made for us to feel we're welcomed there. Check them out however, solid eats otherwise.

    Soft tofu soup

    Such yummy food. I got the tofu soft soup. Spice level 2. We also ordered pot stickers and wings. Can't recall what my husband ordered. It was a lot of food. Would come back. Bring a sweater. They had the AC blasting.

    Restaurant was in a new plaza so was clean and parking was plentiful. The food was good but we've had better; we were visiting from Los Angeles where Korean food is everywhere. I imagine this place would do good if there are not many Korean places to eat in the area. Portions were large to share. Service was fast and mediocre, they were not as nice as I thought they would be for a new place and wanting to attract new customers. All the dishes were not bad but not really good either. The best dish was probably the fried chicken.

    Fried Whole Chicken - Half&Half
    Richard W.

    Great find for authentic, fresh and tasty Korean food in Reno. The owner/proprietor is well versed in allergies so def bookmark this spot as an allergy-friendly establishment. They don't take reservations, and there aren't that many tables, but the wait was very reasonable and you can sit in the adjacent poke eatery, as they are co-owned by the same family. Bonchon comes in a single dish with six sections. I like that they have sample sizes so that food isn't wasted and at the same time we asked for extra Kimchee and they obliged promptly. Assorted Soft Tofu Soup Soft tofu, assorted seafood, beef, mushroom and zucchini. I chose level 2 (out of 4) spice level and that was just about right. Everything was great, but I did wish that the plain rice was purple grain rice instead. Fried Whole Chicken 18 pieces plain or Korean chicken sauce or half and half. The Korean sauce is sticky and sweet - great for the first few bites, but it does bog you down after a bit. I don't regret getting the half and half but next time, I would get no sauce - which is more traditional and very delicious. We aim to return next time in Reno - service is friendly and the food is great home cooking. I highly recommend Tofu House for anyone needing an authentic Korean fix. That's all.

    Pork Soft Tofu Soup
    Zach L.

    An absolutely delicious bowl of food! We started with the wings and the tofu nuggets, both delectable. And then I followed that up with the pork tofu soup which was stellar. I've been here 3 times now and am always impressed. Happy to have such a great spot down in South Reno.

    Cold noodle

    I think I may have just found the Korean restaurant that makes me forget I'm not in Los Angeles. You know that feeling when a place nails the flavors so perfectly you swear you've been dropped right into K-Town? Yeah, that happened. Upon walking in, the restaurant was spotless inside. It was clean, comfortable, and inviting. My group of 3 also went at an off time on a Friday, around 2 pm and there was only one other group there which was great since I've heard that it often gets really busy. Now let's get to the food! The beef short rib soup was comfort in a bowl. The meat was fall-apart tender, the broth incredibly rich and layered. One spoonful and I immediately started texting my cousins who live in LA (and the ones who I go on Korean foodie adventure with) about how good this soup was. I honestly wish I had a bowl right now! The spam and kimchi soft tofu stew was a warm, spicy, savory hug. A solid and satisfying dish that hits the spot every time. The cold noodle (naengmyeon) was so good it isn't even on the main menu! It's a specialty with its own poster so be sure to look around to find it. It comes with a side of galbi which paired perfectly with the refreshing noodles. I have been looking for a Korean spot in town with good naengmyeon. I had a friend with me who has never had this before and she said it was her favorite dish! The spicy pork bulgogi was tender, flavorful, and balanced with just the right amount of heat. I liked that the pork wasn't super fatty. The steamed egg was the only dish that was simply just okay. Could've used a bit more flavor but it was cooked nicely. Now for the star of the show, the seafood pancake! This pancake was top 2 of the best seafood pancakes I've ever had, and it might even be tied for #1. I usually tap out after one polite bite of seafood pancake, but this time? I demolished half the plate without hesitation. Crispy edges, perfectly chewy inside, packed with seafood, and seasoned to perfection. Truly unforgettable. It's so nice to have a good Korean spot in town and I can't wait to be back!

    Beef Bulgogi / 불고기
    Kayla A.

    Deeply satisfying, fresh, and delicious! Our first time in- we had both the Beef bulgogi and the Short rib stew. The selection of ferments, and small bites before were amazing. Relaxed atmosphere and attentive service. Definitely will be back when in south town!

    Food was relatively fast to come out. It was hot with good tofu and veggies. I had the japchae, and my wife had the soft tofu & seafood soup. Service was good. Ambience was a bit "strip mall", but heck it was in a strip mall, so what the heck. I would come here again. The two entrees plus the six assorted banchan pickled veggies totaled $41. If I was not observing "dry January "!I would have ordered an extra large 20oz bottle of beer for $8.

    The place isn't too big but it can sit a lot. There's free parking as well. The food was delicious - soup was so good! Perfect for the cold weather. There were two employees working. The lady was very nice, the guy seems like he doesn't want to be there or didn't want us there. Tried calling his attention twice when he was nearby - ignored. Then he would step away while we were still talking. Was still far away from our table when he asked what we needed.

    Great service and amazing food in South Reno! My first time here and it did not disappoint! We tried a variety of dishes from kimchi fried rice to wings, assorted tofu soup, seafood pancake and so many others! It's a small and intimate space but the flavors were packed with so much depth and deliciousness! Thanks to our server for recommending my favorite of the night - jjambbong! I got level 2 spice and it was perfect . We will definitely be back for more!

I then had to fight to flag a waitress to ask for chili paste to get any heat in my entire dish. I like that there are veggies with it and the noodles have a good chew, but I've found zero dishes with anything near Thai spices here My partner got the pad thai, which was sickly sweet yet didn't taste like tamarind, fish sauce nor contain pickled veg. The wood ear in it was excellent, but I've never seen it in pad thai. The thai ice tea was good, maybe a bit heavy on sweetener. I don't understand the high ratings here, based pireh on food. Thai Chili has far better flavors, and is rated lower. The wait staff/food runners lacked politeness, and never checked if we enjoyed our food or needed anyone. Sans the person filling everyone's water, we were never checked on in any other capacity. The restaurant was a cacophony of noise and conversation, I had to lean across the booth to have any chance of hearing my companion. The noise level is overwhelming if you have sensory issues at all. The decor is pretty cool.

Today we got the following: Garlic Pork & Rice - My dish. Deep fried pork with garlic, what is there NOT to like?!?! I did not expect it to be bite size pieces, which made it easy to eat. The sauce was on the side, which was not really needed. My rice might have been slightly undercooked...? Very firm/hard, or was it the last of the pot? Still good, but I would preferred it softer. Wonton Noodle Soup - A classic dish, another dish that is very hard to do wrong. Both dishes were perfect quantities for us, both light eaters. No left overs. Many other menus, specials, etc. See my pictures or their website. Atmosphere - Decent size location. Much bigger than the previous location. Indoor and outdoor seating. Free metered parking after 6pm, we got here at 6:01pm, lol. Summer hours - See my pictures. Still closed Mondays. Service - Perapol is very personable. He took the time to talk with all the customers and checked up on us frequently. Price - $30 + tip.

Unfortunately, for me, it was all hype and not much substance. First off, the ambiance wasn't what I look for when dining out -- industrial, loud, and filled with metal chairs.

Of the two, the Thai Boat Noodles was the standout it woudl be something I'd order again. The Garlic Pork dish including the rice, though, was a letdown. It tasted okay, nothing memorable. Take a look at the photo of my entrée: it looks sad and unfinished. With so many other great Asian spots both here in Reno and back home in Minden, we won't be back.

The ahi tartare portion anywhere else would have been a shareable appetizer. But each person was served a large portion of delicious fresh ahi. Mmmm this course and a glass of wine could be dinner alone any other evening. The soft creamy rich egg custard was hidden under a thick seafood gravy. I really enjoyed this unique dish. The miso black cod is always flaky and delicious. And the crab fried rice it's nestled on also never disappoints. The rich New Zealand stir fried lamb and shiitake mushrooms over pea shoots was a fabulous hearty dish on this chilly March evening. The braised short ribs were so tender no knife was needed, they flaked apart with the fork. And the e mein noodles were perfectly al dente. The dinner wrapped up with a crème brûlée that only Kwok's could pull off - red bean. Creamy smooth. Not overwhelming. The perfect burnt sugar layer on top. The regular menu is just as delicious.

The veggies were done well. Just the right consistency, not mushy at all. The taste was great. The only thing I could say, was, the garlic chicken was a bit spicy. About medium on what I like for spice, you could definitely see the red pepper flakes on that food. Unfortunately, nowhere in the menu did it mention the spicy part of it. I did like it, and the spice was within what I like, but I think the next time I would order something else. The fried rice was very well done with a good flavor also. It was just the rice. It had no egg or veggies in it. I had enough for two meals on the first combo, and the second one went into my portable cooler, and is going home to Sacramento with me. For all I got, the price was extremely reasonable, even if I would've gotten only one combination. Thank you very much.
