    6/16/26- Wanted to grab something near y and decided to dine in. Not very busy but it's like or feels like 97*.. Went with the bi bum bap bulgogi-too many carrots - liked the mushrooms but too many bean sprouts for me.. meat was chewy.. Also went with the new cold noodle naengymeon..served with bulgogi.. Really hoping for more flavor but it was hard to detect any.. Only six banchans offered- New server- very attentive and friendly. Think I'll just stick with the tofu soup and seafood pancake..

    Very pleasant surprise with tofu stew and great ambience. The restaurant is very clean and well maintained. We stopped by this place for some good Korean food during our road trip of 5 states. this venues seems family-operated and I am confident to say this must be a hidden gem for people who drive from Las Vegas to Reno. Side dishes were tasty and staffs were very kind. Thank you for good comfort food!

    Consistent, classic, comforting, casual and delicious. If you enjoy Korean, Tofu House NEEDS to be in your rotation of regular eats. We've got our order dialed, but if I had more opportunities to dine with friends, I'd surely expand it. Can't miss items include the seafood pancake, KFC, spicy soft tofu soup, and the spicy pork bulgogi. All of these dishes work well together and make a great family style meal. In the past I've been a fan of the jjyolmeon too. It's got a sweet side but a nice spicy kick, packed with crisp veggies, all over chewy noodles. It's a vegetarian dish and a nice compliment to some of the protein heavy offerings. I would say adding a protein to this dish would make a great meal, and that's something I haven't tried yet. Their banchan slaps too. There's typically a traditional kimchi and another version, both of which are quite good and I usually ask for more at some point during the meal. They offer a rotating selection of banchan along with them that range from contemporary to classic. I will say I wish they'd change this up a bit because it makes for a fresh experience. I also wish they'd bring the black beans in from time to time. Service is stellar and ever present. They've made some special orders come true for my kids as well and that's always meaningful. Go.

    First time here and wondering why it's taken me awhile to try this place out. I got the beef tofu and it was yummilicious with the right amount of spice that hits you in your throat. You get to taste the deep savory flavors first. Super comforting, cozy, and yummy. Servers serve you with a smile, welcomes you when you enter the doors and wishes you well on your way out. There's only 1 restroom but it was clean and stocked.

    I come at least once a month for the tofu soup. I brought my mom here who lives in LA and she said their food rivals ktown. I love tofu house!

    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
    Cecilia B.

    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.

    Banchan
    Nora L.

    Came here again, this time for lunch, and was again disappointed. Home style food and portions for big city prices. Husband and I got 5 pieces of fried chicken to start: was delicious apart from the thick ketchup based sauce it was drenched in. It got all over the sides of my mouth and I had to clean off the extra sauce by wiping the chicken with my napkin, and when I ran out of the single napkin I was given, had to wipe it on my rice. Ridiculous. I got the beef short rib soup and husband got the assorted soft tofu soup. Both were good but not amazing, 3 stars, but came with a tiny bowl of rice the size of my palm. Extra rice which my husband asked for cost $3.50. My short rib soup had a few small pieces of short rib, nothing special. At least mine wasn't salty, but my husband thought his was. Meal came with 6 small banchan. Again nothing special, just an assortment of plant based foods. Might get takeout for the soups in the future, but not coming back for a mediocre meal of almost $70. This is the only Korean spot in South Reno so they do have a monopoly over this cuisine, but I suggest you go to Sparks instead unless you're truly desperate.

    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.

    Cold noodle
    Destiny P.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    We hadn't been here for several years, but since we were in the area, we decided to give them…read moreanother try. One thing we noticed right away was that the bonchon was already set on the tables before guests arrived. It wasn't a large spread--just a small tin of cheese corn and a divided tray with kimchi, bean sprouts, and fish cake--not sure how long they were left out and did look and taste dry. The servers seemed to work well together. Different team members checked on us, cleared dishes, served food, and helped other's tables. Once it got busier, they also used robot servers to help deliver food. We started with the salad with house dressing and the popcorn chicken. Both were good, and the chicken was nice and moist. For the BBQ, we ordered the Chardol, Ju Mul Luck, Hawaiian Steak, Tri-Tip Bulgogi, and Galbi (short ribs). Having eaten at quite a few Korean BBQ restaurants in Las Vegas, we noticed the portions here were a bit smaller. They also limit each round to three appetizers and four meat selections. Overall, the service was good, and we especially appreciated Eurie for being friendly and attentive. The only thing that concerned us was when another server changed our grill. Instead of lightly drizzling oil onto the grill, she forcefully squeezed the bottle, causing the oil to shoot out onto grill. It seemed like an unnecessary safety risk for both guests and employees. Our favorites were definitely the Tri-Tip Bulgogi and the Galbi. Both were flavorful and tender. The Chardol was good, but the slices were very thin and the portion felt a little small. The restaurant filled up quickly between 5:00 and 6:00 p.m., so it's clearly a popular spot. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and would come back for the Tri-Tip Bulgogi, Galbi, and the teamwork displayed by the staff.

    One of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is that it's one of the few Korean BBQ spots that…read morewelcomes solo diners without requiring a party of two. As someone who occasionally likes to eat alone, I really appreciate that. I've visited several times over the years, including recently under the newer ownership. Unfortunately, some of my old favorites aren't quite the same. I used to love their deep-fried oysters, which are no longer on the menu and have been replaced with deep-fried mussels. The kimchi stew recipe also seems to have changed and wasn't as memorable as before. That said, they still serve my favorite gopchang (beef small intestine). When cooked properly, it gets wonderfully crispy and reminds me of Mexican tripas tacos--definitely worth ordering. I'd personally skip the bibimbap appetizer. The rice was hard, the ground beef was cold, and it felt like it relied too heavily on the gochujang sauce for flavor. Even with those changes, I'll continue supporting this business. Service was also attentive.

    From start to finish, it was an outstanding epicurean delight…read more Our group of five fierce women completely and absolutely enjoyed every moment and every bite of the beautifully presented dishes. The portions were generous with plenty of leftovers to pack up in takeout boxes for enjoying for another day. My favorite three were the ahi tuna, the black cod and the brilliant asian/french mash up of red Bean Creme Brulee. I also need to mention, I loved the lamb tenderloin. I am not a big lamb fan, but this New Zealand lamb was tender and non-gamey. The owners did an outstanding job of timing the dishes and engaging with our group while also taking care of other diners including non event patrons getting getting take-out and inhouse menu dining. The space is very small, but even with and almost full house, it didn't feel cramped. Even though Kwok's is right across the street from where I live, this restaurant would be at the top of my list of "I would drive out of my way to eat here"

    I try to never miss a Chinese New Year or Fall Harvest Moon dinner here…read more They never disappoint. Both require a reservation made at least a month in advance, they are always a sell out. To start, you can't go wrong with the enthusiastic welcome we always receive. Then quickly seated and wine poured. The 2026 CNY menu was fabulous, with some great surprises. 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. Small inside seating area, so recommend always make a reservation. In the summer there's a fabulous patio area out front. Limited street parking.
