As a 7+ year Cupertino resident, I can't believe I haven't been here before. The food is amazing!! My friend and I loved every bite. We walked in, were seated immediately, and they brought over water and hot tea. We started at a cozy two-person table, but since we ordered so much, the staff moved us to a bigger table before our food arrived. They have a very generous spread of banchan, 12 different kinds (and you can even buy some in to-go containers). As a vegan, I skipped a few, but everything I tried was delicious. The vegetarian dishes are clearly marked and easy to make vegan by removing the egg. I ordered the Veggie Dolsot Bibimbap without egg, and it arrived in a big, hot stone pot that kept everything warm and gave the rice a perfect crunch. I really enjoyed it! I also enjoyed the Tofu Japchae, which was full of flavor with plenty of veggies and tofu. My friend, who is a meat eater, said the vegetable pancake was her favorite dish, so that says a lot! I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back. read more

Was craving tofu soup and found this place. Items are on the pricier side. Spacious restaurant and pretty empty in weekday lunch. Great service. Offered us hot tea or ice water. They also sell Banchan Togo. Started off with a variety of barchans. This was the most Banchan dishes I've gotten at a Korean restaurant. All of them were solid with my favorite being the cucumbers, fish tofu, and the apple with creamy white sauce. The beef tofu soup had soft silky tofu. Comes with a freshly cracked egg in the hot soup. Flavor was good. The LA galbi came sizing with a sheet of grilled onions underneath. Tasty marinade but would prefer more of the char flavor. Meat wasn't too tough. read more

Pretty good Korean food restaurant located in the middle of Cupertino. Food tasted great and the side dish options were plentiful. This place is very kids friendly too. Overall, this is a solid choice because the wait time is almost zero, while the restaurant stayed full at the middle of lunch time. Will definitely come back next time when we are in the area. read more

I was craving Korean food for dinner, and our friend suggested Tofu Plus. It did the job and satisfied our Korean food craving! We shared a few items, including the bossam, L.A. galbi, and a tofu soup. I thought the bossam was just ok, but I think that's more because I'm not a huge fan of boiled pork belly. The L.A. galbi was flavorful and tender, and I really enjoyed the spiciness of the tofu soup. The service was fine, although they were pretty crowded when we visited. The tables in the middle are also quite close together, so you may end up sitting pretty close to the tables next to you. It might feel a little cramped for some people, but it wasn't a big deal to us. read more

Tofu Plus - L.A. Galbi, tofu soup and bossam - Korean Near Me - Cupertino, California

For some people, the deciding factor for a good Korean restaurant is the assortment of banchan you are offered at the table. Tofu Plus in Cupertino Village is one of those joints in my go-to list for when I have a hankering for Korean food. I personally enjoy the marinated bok choy and the sprouts out of the 12 whopping dishes we were served! We usually order the Buddae Jiggae and the L.A. Galbi for some nice comfort food. The marinade and cuts of the L.A. Galbi are quite flavorful, and I like to pair it with any of the banchan or the carmelized onions on which it rests in the hotplate. The service here is fast! The staff is certainly used to the high turnover, so they are swift to be of service. Even the kitchen works fast! The ambiance is loud and to the point. Nothing stylish or luxurious here, but it is cozy to be seated in their large booths. If you need a quick and delicious spot during your lunch break, try out Tofu Plus! read more

I've been here a total of two times now, four years apart, and wow the food and service never disappoints. They are very helpful and considerate of what utensils we might need because we were doing it family style. Each dish was sooo delicious. I don't think I had any complaints. Maybe not enough protein for the kalguksu? But I feel like that's typical. Def coming back :) read more

The food is good, taste very authentic Korean food. We love getting the seafood and beef tofu soup, there's a lot of protein and tofu. The side dishes are also very good. Today we had a tomato one that was very refreshing. They also sell the side dishes in the front, we did buy the tomato one, $10/box. Service is okay, after you get all the food, they don't really check in with you. They just pass by to see if you are almost or done eating to give you the check. Compared to other Korean restaurants, the servers usually check in to see if you need refill on the side dishes. Could just depend on the days? First time I went they had someone push a card with all the side dishes to refill but the second time they did not. read more

Quick take: consistently good My brother and his girlfriend love dining at Tofu Plus when they visit the bay area. I love their Banchan. Everyone was happy with what they ordered. Last seating is at 7:45pm during the week. The restaurant closes at 8:30pm during the week. Weekend hours are a little bit longer. It's a very casual dining experience. Great place for an interactive meal. read more

This was my first time here and I was pleasantly surprised. It was pretty crowded but the service was very quick and attentive. We ordered the seafood pancake, combo tofu soup, beef, and hot stone bibimbap. Everything was delicious and tasted as it should have. I think the seafood pancake was my favorite. It had crispy exterior and huge chunks of seafood. The tofu soup was hot and had a lot of tofu. We got medium but it wasn't too spicy. The bibimbap was good with a lot of veggies. Overall it was good and a god comfort food spot. read more

Haven't been in 8 years, but it's still delightful even when dining solo. For lunch, I was served a variety of banchan prior to my stone pit bibimbap. They came by and asked if I wanted any additional dishes even though I hadn't completed all the dishes and I got more of the water radish which is one of my favorites. The bibimbap was delightful in the bright colors (picture is post stirring it up with some sauce). Service was fantastic and the food was delicious and fresh. I think the yolk is usually less cooked to provide a little liquid but it was fine fully cooked. The rice had just the right level of crunch and I had enough for bringing home for dinner later. read more

This place is ample seating and also big portion sizes so it is a great place to bring your friends and family. I came here on 2 separate occasions and I had a good meal both times. The bossam was fatty and juicy and tasted amazing with the radish and sauces. The kalgusku was warm and hearty and had a lot of seafood bits and half a crab. The rest of the dishes were just really well made that satisfies any cravings you may have had walking in. Would definitely come back. read more

Came here around 8 PM on a weekday and was seated pretty quickly, which was a nice start to the meal. They offer a great variety of banchan, which added a lot to the overall dining experience. The highlight of the meal was definitely the beef galbi ribs, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The bibimbap was also very good and made for a solid second dish. Service was efficient and the food came out quickly, which made the whole dinner feel smooth and enjoyable. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back again. read more

I came here with my sister and niece. My niece's first official Korean cuisine. We ordered seafood soon tofu pot and clam soon tofu pot. It came with a bowl of rice and side dishes. Service was fine.

The service here is pretty quick. Once you arrive, you get to order your drinks with the server and then the food can be ordered on the iPad that sits on the table. If you're not that tech savvy like me, you can also order with the server as well! The bulgogi comes with a bowl of rice. However, the bulgogi was pretty dry and didn't have that much flavor. The kimchi fried rice was so flavorful and steaming hot! There was a wide variety of side dishes but my favorite one was the fish cakes. You can also ask for a refill on a side dish too! read more

Yuk gae jang 4/5 - although this isn't a yuk gae jang place, it was still good. The beef could have been a bit more tender. Lots of green onions and broth was flavorful, not too spicy. Side dishes were yummy. The workers seem annoyed when you ask for more side dish though.. read more

Tofu Plus is such a satisfying spot when you want a full Korean meal with lots of variety on the table. The meal felt generous right away because all the banchan came out beautifully arranged, and there was a really nice mix of kimchi, vegetables, fish cake, noodles, and pickled sides that made the whole table look abundant and inviting. The service was fast and super friendly. We ordered cold noodles and a hot stone bowl, and the contrast between the two was especially enjoyable. The cold noodles were very refreshing, chewy, and perfect for a warm day, with a nice savory tang and crisp vegetables on top. The stone bowl was comforting and filling, and I loved mixing everything together while it was still hot. Both dishes felt balanced and satisfying. One of the best parts of the meal was the spread of side dishes. There were so many little bites to go with the mains, and it made the experience feel complete and traditional. The atmosphere was casual and cozy, which made it a great place for a relaxed lunch or dinner. A solid choice when you are craving Korean comfort food with generous portions and plenty of banchan. read more

I like how they give you 12 banchan! It was a big variety - I particularly liked the eggplant ones which I've never had before. I ordered the wang mandooguk which is my go to at a korean spot and the dumplings were huge! Comes with complimentary rice as well, I thought the broth was not as flavorful as other versions I've had, though i did appreciate the generous portion of rice cakes, meat, egg, and huge dumplings. Service was very quick and efficient. I also tried the tofu soup with medium spice and it wasn't spicy at all (and I have very low spice tolerance) so if you like your soup spicy just keep that in mind! Ambiance inside is lively and bustling. We were seated in a booth which was very comfy. read more

7.5/10 Ordered the Bulgogi, Dolsot Bibimbap, and Beef Soon Tofu. Starting with the Bulgogi 8.8/10 , which was easily the best dish of the meal. The meat was tender and cooked perfectly. I loved the addition of green onions on top and the onions underneath, it added great flavor and balance. The only downside was that the slices of beef were way too large. Although they provided scissors at the table, it would've been nice if the kitchen had cut the meat into manageable pieces beforehand. Still, flavor-wise, this was the standout dish. Next, the Dolsot Bibimbap 8/10. It was good and met expectations, but nothing particularly special. Not the best I've had, but still solid overall. There wasn't quite enough beef, in my opinion, but the egg was cooked well and the assortment of vegetables was fresh and flavorful. A decent choice, just not a standout. Lastly, the Beef Soon Tofu 7/10. This one was the most disappointing. They really skimped on the beef and overloaded it with tofu, it felt like an entire block in the bowl. It wasn't very satisfying. The spice level was on point, which was probably the best part of the dish, but overall it fell short compared to others I've had. All the side dishes were amazing, especially the potatoes. They were very attentive about refilling them, which we appreciated. Service was fast, the restaurant was clean, and the ambiance was nice. Being able to order from a tablet at the table was also very convenient. read more

I came here for dinner with my family and we had a great time! We were immediately seated and the restaurant was busy! Lots of seating available and well lit. We ordered on a kiosk and the food came out soon after. The service was very good, and the food delicious. I loved the seafood pancake and galbi. The mandus were also stuffed generously. The sauce in the rose tteok-bokki was creamy. The only thing we would skip next time is the kimchi fried rice, it was good but we have had better. Otherwise, great food and great service! read more

Has been my favorite tofu soup place in Bay Area for a while. I usually order the oyster tofu soup which has such rich flavor in it and a lot of oysters. You can also pick your own spice level. We also ordered seafood pancake, which was mid. Too much flour and too thick. Banchan they provide is always great, tons of choices and refillable. read more

Came here on a Monday night and it was pretty packed. I love this place because of how many bonchons they give you plus you can refill them, but it is a little hard to get a servers attention as they are extremely busy I ordered the tofu soup, ssamjang, and seafood pancake. The soup was pretty standard to other Korean restaurants. We got the single portion of the ssamjiang and it was massive. It was more than enough for 2 people. I was kinda disappointed at the seafood pancake as I wish it was a little more crispy and had some more flavor. read more

Final Thoughts: 1.50/5 Umm...I think I'm going to have to round this one down to 1 star for today. Today's experience and food in general were so underwhelming. Perhaps I had expectations of this place being similar to Jeonju or Big Spoon, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed with what was provided given what the prices are today. Food: Banchans: 3.0/5 My one plus for this place is going to be the variety of side dishes. There are 12 provided to us. Their kimchi is actually quite good. My preference is definitely leaning on a sweeter kimchi and this one delivered. Maybe I should have just eaten this with the rice for a better meal. Ramen Tofu with Seafood and Beef: 1.0/5 This looks like something you could create at home with a bowl, shin ramen, water, and any garnishes/toppings that you find in your fridge. Presentation wise, my phone did not want to eat any of these foods first. The noodles were just thrown into some room temperature broth. Upon entering the table, the broth wasn't even hot. Our waitress cracked an egg in and it did not cook...It remained raw...never something I want to see because that means the broth is not fresh by any means. For the ramen, it wasn't even stirred and cooked in. The ramen was still holding it's form of the dry ramen block when my friend picked it up. Spicy Rose Rice Cake: 1.1/5 The rice cake was so mushy for this. There was no bite to it at all, which is interesting because this rice cake is thicker. Perhaps this rice cake is made in-house and fresh, so it is more susceptible to being softer. It's just so soft and really a stick of dough, which is not the best mouthfeel for me. Their sauce is quite good in flavor. It has a small kick and it has that sweetness that I like, but this consistency was so so thin. The rice cake was just swimming in this broth. Usually for rose tteokbokki, it's thicker because of the cheese. That is not the case here. It's basically thin consistency versus being a creamy thicker sauce. This serving size is also not it for the price. More about that in the pricing section. Dolsot Bibimbap: 1.1/5 Truly, the only thing saving this food item for me is the bibimbap sauce and I am assuming that this item is not made in-house. The sauce is very savory and sweet with a nice kick to it. Regarding the bibimbap itself, it was very underwhelming compared to other places. The rice is mushy, borderline porridge. I'm not sure if we just got the rice at the bottom of the rice cooker that just absorbed too much of the water, but all of the rice that we got today was so mushy and wet. It really ruined the remainder of the dish because that is the base of it. The beef was not seasoned nor was the rest of the toppings for this dish. I digress. --------- Quality: Not made to order These foods came a large pot or a food warmer of sorts because the food was not hot and came out so quickly. While this does satisfy the timeliness aspect, I think there should be a waiting time, so that we could get freshy made and hot foods. What we got today was food that has been sitting there in a pot and ready to serve. They did not even bother to heat these foods up, which is something I cannot overlook. Price: Expensive Price tag $$$$ for what you get. We received something so underwhelming. For three items, our total came out to be more than $90. Now, if I think about it, my instant ramen bowl that I make at home will not cost $30 nor will it have room temperature broth. The price range for most of these dishes range from around $20-40 with some outliers. That sounds absurd for these dishes. Now, if they provided us a larger plate of food, perhaps I can understand this. Unfortunately, I can't even excuse that because the serving size is truly small, even for me. Another example is the rose tteokbokki, there was just some pieces of fish cake and one egg on a tiny plate. The rest was the few piece of rice cake and glass noodles. Really does not add up to being $26. Service: Nothing significant Everything is really done on the tablet, so there wasn't really anything significant regarding service. The one thing they did for us is crack the egg into our pot of room temperature ramen broth. Otherwise, ordering is on the tablet and they just bring you the food and bring you the check. Ambiance: Your average spacious restaurant This place is quite big and spacious. I like that they have booths that line the walls. I always prefer a booth seat. There is also a lot of walking space in between. Appears to be your average Korean restaurant. Location/Parking: Cupertino Village This place is located in Cupertino Village. There are quite a few places here. Food, beauty stores, bakeries, a grocery store, and boba spots are located here. It does seem like a nice location in general. Parking space is ok. Appears kind of cramped, but parking spots appear optimal. From a birds eye view, there are parking spots on both sides of the store area. read more

1.5 that I can either round up or down that really only going up to a 2.0 because of the wide variety of banchans they offer. My goodness, what a mess this was. Ramen tofu w/ Seafood and Beef - 2/5 Came out lukewarm and not even boiling such that when they cracked an egg into it, it never cooked and wouldn't even begin to whiten. The free rice it came with was so visibly mushy as well. Hot stone Beef Bibambap - 1/5 Oh boy, rice was mushy, somehow. Also, similar to the tofu soup, no usual sizzling that one would hear for bibambaps Rose Rice Cakes - 1/5 Everything was mushy and the texture of the rose sauce was so watery that it was offputting. Pricing - 1/5 Horrendous. None of these items deserved to be above $15 and the fact they were around $23-26 is crazy. Not only was the quality terrible as above, the quantity is extremely sad. Save your money and just go to one of the better stores in the same plaza. Service is nothing special. Ambiance looks nice but that's it. read more

Tofu Plus is a really solid place for Soondubu and other classic Korean dishes. The food is very homey and the sides are absolutely refreshing. The variety always blows me away. Each side is very well balanced and the flavors are great. The vegetable pancake was extremely crispy and delicious. The vegetable bibimbap would've been better on a stone pot but it was still really good. The mushroom Soondubu with ramen was not overwhelming at all. I wish there were more variety of mushrooms but it was still really great. Service was fast and observant on when dishes needed to be taken away. This place is also always packed but they're very efficient in getting tables cleared asap for other parties. This place is definitely one of the better Korean restaurants in the Bay. read more

Noelle's Yelp Notebook 2025 August 11, 2025 Tofu Plus is still one of my favorites for KBBQ. Their LA Gabli is my all time favorite. Dined here recently on a weekday. We arrived shortly after they opened. Our order 2 LA Gabli 4 orders of rice 1 Japchae 1 seafood pancake 4 hot tea 1 regular coke The entire restaurant is clean and well maintained. We sat in one of the booths. The service is still great. They maintained the good customer service even as the restaurant became busy. Food is fresh. Their LA Gabli is my favorite as is the Japchae. The seafood pancake was tasty but it wasn't crispy enough. They provide an excellent selection of banchan.

My friends and I got the cold noodles and the army stew! Average prices of each dish is about $30 and you're given 12 side dishes. Here, you're paying for quality over quantity for your main dishes. It doesn't look like much food but if you finish the side dishes with your food, you'll definitely leave full. Service is fast because the food itself is easy to make. The army stew leans more sour than spicy while the cold noodles are pretty standard ( still delicious though!) The interior is a little upscale but the atmosphere is casual. Wait time is also minimal as my friends and I were able to walk in and be seated right away. This place is good for getting your korean food cravings satisfied and you're more than likely going to leave with leftovers. read more

All the side dishes were so good and there were so many options I loved it! For 2 people we split the mandoo yukaejang and bossam (1 serving). It was the perfect amount of food! The yukaejang was really good and came with 4 big dumplings. The bossam had radish paper and pickled Napa cabbage to wrap. I really liked the spicy radish banchan that came with the bossam because it didn't have oyster in it... other restaurants have an oyster kimchi and I'm not a fan. My only complaint was that the tables were very close together but the quality of food was too good to care that much! I would definitely come back for Korean comfort food! read more

Located in a plaza so there's ample parking. No wait for an early Sunday afternoon, but filled with lots of patrons so it was pretty loud inside. The galbi and bulgogi were tender and full of flavor. Both were served on grilled onions. The beef and seafood tofu soup came with an egg and tasted amazing, perfect flavor and perfect mild spice. We loved all of the banchan especially the tomatoes and baby bok choy. Service was great, always checking up on us. They refilled our waters and banchans which I loved. Will definitely come back again to try other dishes. read more

Checked out the restaurant on a Sunday at around 11:30 am and we got seated immediately for our table of two. They had a good selection of traditional Korean dishes from soups to meat dishes. After ordering, they brought out an assortment of side dishes and I enjoyed the fishcake, kimchi and the potatoes the most. Beef Soondubu - I loved that it came out hot and had a mild spice level. The tofu was soft but still firm with a nice bite to it and the beef was cooked well making me wish that I could have used more in the dish. Tasted great with the side of rice that balances out the savory, saltiness of the soup. My friend said it's one of his staple Korean restaurants and I understand after trying their dishes. I would recommend checking them out if you're in the Cupertino area. read more
