I finally made it to Tofu Story and I can't believe it took me this long. This is one of those spots that just works. Comforting, flavorful, and exactly what I want when I'm craving Korean food. They cover a lot, from BBQ to stews to banchan, and everything feels balanced and well executed. I tried the cheese pork cutlet, wang gyeran jjim (steamed egg), and bulgogi with soon tofu. The cheese pork cutlet surprised me the most. Crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. I'd go back just for that. The steamed egg was also really solid. Fluffy, well seasoned, and exactly how it should be. The bulgogi with soon tofu is just straight comfort and a great combination. If you're in Aurora and want something satisfying, this is an easy yes. read more

What a gem! If you're looking for a good tofu soup this is it - best I've had in a long time First of all: The ajumma is so sweet and was always checking to see if I needed anything. Second: The banchan is yummy! Lastly: ---kimchi soondubu: Their soup is flavorful and served with your choice of white or purple rice (get the purple rice)! They make the tofu in house fresh and I saw soymilk for sale at the front, will have to try that next time I'm in town too! read more

Had a great experience at Tofu Story. The atmosphere felt modern and welcoming, making it a nice spot to sit down and enjoy a warm meal. Their signature pork and kimchi stew is clearly popular for a reason, tut the real standout for me was the cheesy pork cutlet, which was crispy, rich, and filling. I also loved the wide variety of side dishes that came with the meal. read more

Been back here 3x times now. I like the vibe & the value for what you're paying for! So much banchans! You also get a pick of white or purple rice you get a multitude of side dishes, soup, salad.. and give you a pitcher of water for your table. The kimchi, pork and tofu stew is hands down such a comfort food especially in the winter. It's their most popular dish as well in the tofu soup section. Remember the spoon and chopsticks are on th side read more

A gem in Denver/Aurora area! Very authentic and delicious Korean dishes served here. The combo is an amazing deal and so delicious. Loved the tofu soup, galbi, bulgogi, seafood pancake, and refills on banchan! Perfect and authentic flavors; fast, friendly, and amazing service here! I'd definitely come back again whenever I'm back in the area! Would also love to try the restaurant next door which I believe are owned by the same owner! read more

My favorite Korean restaurant in recent years!! Whenever someone suggests to go to Tofu Story, I just feel happy!! I always look forward to eating here! For the most part, I get the same thing but it's always so delicious!! I order the combo with galbee (choice of KBBQ) and the beef soon tofu soup (choice of soup). I enjoy both the white and purple rice (which I usually cover in soup anyway). I also love the banchans (side dishes) especially fish cakes (people confuse this as tofu). People often order a seafood pancake to share but I do think it becomes too much food! I also prefer the steamed egg!! read more

Tofu Story - Lunch spread - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

As soon as we walked inside Tofu story & heard Korean languages& a lot of Asians then I knew this place must be authentic. The atmosphere is so modern, sleek & clean. The utensils drawer located on the side of table. Nice attentive servers. Best of all was the tofu karakae (fried tofu) with sweet soy sauce. Light, crispy, umami! Must try for tofu lover. Main course I picked spicy blue crabs & combination soon tofu medium spices. All are very authentic, good qualities ingredients & tasty. The banchan(complimentary side dishes) came out with a lot of options. I love steamed eggs, fish cake, cucumber kimchi & salad with refreshing salad dressing. Sum up: Must try Korean spot if you are around Aurora area. Authentic foods with Modern ambiance. read more

Part of Seoul BBQ group looks like. I see the same sign and the same server. It looks very clean which I liked. Price was lot higher than the Tofu House. Noticeably. This review is in comparison to the Tofu House I guess. Few more banchan and also choice of white rice or purple rice. However, no stone pot for the rice. Definitely miss putting hot water into the stone pot with leftover rice and let it simmer to finish as a meal. I got the combo tofu soup which was beef and seafood. Shrimp was lot smaller but had different types of clams. Personally I prefer the Tofu House flavor. read more

Overall: Korean comfort food. First time impressed me so much - adding this to my go-to places list when I want cozy food. Curious to try their fish and marinated crab options next time. Food: Came here for the soondobu - tofu texture is nice and soft. -Beef soondobu with mild spice level - richly flavored without being overpowering. -Kimchi soondobu with medium spice level - tangy, flavorful. I like the fatty pork pieces in it. Spicy level was perfect where it tingled but I could still taste the food. -Cheese pork cutlet - absolutely perfect crispy layer. Very neatly made and fried. -Banchan - LOVE. The kimchi variety were all well flavored and well made. The salad was tasty, especially the dressing. Space/Vibe: Casual sit-down. Open, modern space. Clean space. Loud atmosphere. Service: Average, polite. Price: $$. Reasonable for the portion. read more

Tofu Story - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Tofu Story is one of my go to's for knowing I'm going to have a fantastic meal every single time! This is where I bring friends, family, out of town guests and recommend to everyone. The seafood soondubu is as good as my Halmoni's growing up and it always hits my soul and makes me happy! They make the tofu in house and I always grab extra fresh tofu to go as well for myself and my Oppa. Great food, fresh banchan, prompt service and it is so clean and inviting inside. Will come again and again. read more

Came here on a Wednesday evening with a friend and wow! I can understand the hype. We arrived at 5pm and it was quite quiet but I'd recommend planning ahead if you aim to get there around 6/6:30 as it definitely got busy. Decor is clean and crisp and love that there's a window into the tofu lab - where the magic happens. Our server was happy to give us direction on what to order. We stuck with water so not sure about the beverages but we got a lot of food! A most excellent decision. Opted for a few house specials: Galbi Jjim (braised short rib with veggies in a yummy bubbling broth) and Spicy Marinated Crab (the crab was raw which was interesting; I personally prefer it cooked but fun to try). We also got Cheese Pork Cutlet (amazing), Kimchi Soon Tofu (Spicy kimchi, pork, and tofu stew, great flavor) and Man Doo Soon Tofu (amazing spicy dumplings and tofu stew). Not to mention all the yummy banchan and beautiful purple rice. All in all, a top notch experience. I can't wait to come back! read more

I came here instead of Seoul K BBQ, because we were in the area but wanted to try a new place. We split the bibimbap, and it was so filling and really delicious. I must say, their banchan were all so delicious as well. They have a variety of cucumbers, bean sprouts, cabbage, etc. The spice level is very mild too. It was one of the most delicious Korean places I've tried anywhere. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Colorado. read more

Stopped by for weekday lunch, and did not expect the food to be SO GOOD. Upon walking in, the restaurant is clean and the waitress was quick to greet us and take our order. After ordering, our waitress brought out banchan, including a fresh green salad with sesame dressing, squid, kimchee, fish cake, bean sprouts, amongst others. Shortly after, the pork bulgogi came out on a sizzling hot plate, along with my sundubu bubbling in a clay pot. Taste wise, everything was absolutely delicious and tasted very authentic. The only improvement I would recommend is to increase the bulgogi meat portion, as it was primarily onions, rather than meat. Nevertheless, food was solid and I'd def recommend for anyone looking for authentic Korean fare. read more

Staff was very friendly and service is super quick. The Banchan is amazing especially the kimchi, fish cake and the pickled cucumbers. Absolutely loved them. We ordered the soon tofu combination with LA Galbi and it was delicious. Definitely a good portion for two. The star of the dish was definitely soon tofu. Beef was tender and spicy, tofu was super soft and rich with flavor. Even the seafood was cooked well and truly had an explosion for flavor. So delicious and can't wait to be back. read more

Tofu Story is the real deal. I had the mushroom tofu soup, marinated & spicy crab, potato pancake, and pollack tofu soup--and every bite brought back memories of eating in Korea. The flavors are so authentic and comforting. One of the coolest parts? They actually make fresh tofu in-house every day, and you can see the process happening. It's not just a meal--it's an experience. If you're craving traditional Korean flavors done right, this is the spot. read more

We love coming to Tofu Story. Food is great and fast. We always ask for cheese on the tteokboki. They are super kind too.

Tofu Story is not catering to the typical American palate. I am told this is everyday Korean fare. Manage your expectations more for a menu that serves standards without much enhancement or elevation. I am not deeply accustomed to the proper preparations of these Korean dishes so I am speaking as just some guy from Colorado with a decent amount of travel. We started with the Spicy Tofu Ramen. This comes visually impressive as a bubbling black ceramic bowl with a rich broth and ramen noodles. It's very flavorful and if you only enjoy this dish, you will not be disappointed. Next, arrived the Mapo Tofu. In my opinion, this is a disappointment. The tofu falls apart and appears to be added late in the cook as it fails to take on the ample bulgogi and pork sauce that dominates the plate. Again, in my opinion, this dish could be helped by serving it with a batter fried tofu instead of the soft, untreated cubes. It was a better dish as a leftover the next day, served over rice noodles and pan frying a crust onto the now-marinated tofu cubes. I feel the flavor ingratiate present but the preparation is ....lazy. To their credit, the service is attentive (when you realize each table has a call button) and the restaurant space is visually beautiful. read more

Hands down best kim chi in the state of Colorado. They make it fresh in house so it is a bit sweet and not too fermented. Really friendly staff as well! read more

Tofu Story blew me away. One of my friends asked me if I like tofu stew and I was so excited to hear about a place to get it. I'd seen Tofu Story advertised on Instagram through different people's reels, but hadn't committed to a visit until my friend took me there. The beef was so tender. I really appreciated that they included a spice scale that included some more mild options. I went with the standard and found it to be totally acceptable in terms of spice. The server got us situated quickly once we got there too. Everything comes out so fast! It was pretty quiet in the restaurant during the happy hour time frame on a Tuesday which was also nice. It really hit the spot. I hope to make it back this winter to enjoy it again! read more

Tofu Story - Korean Near Me - Aurora, Colorado

Wanted to try Tofu House but they were closed for private event so we came back to this place. Still absolutely delicious. Service was great and I love the ambiance here. We started off with the braised rice cakes with spicy sauce and fried tofu. Spicy rice cakes wasn't for me but everyone else loved it. I love tofu so the fried tofu was great. Lightly fried and not soggy with oil. We all ordered the soon tofu combos and we shared the meat platters. We each had to pick a soon tofu of choice. There were 2 kimchi soon tofu, 1 seafood soon tofu, and 1 dumpling soon tofu. I really love the soon tofu here. So delicious. And the purple rice is so yummy to have with the combo! This is definitely one of my favorite places to come back too. read more

Rating: 3.75/5 Tried Tofu Story recently and overall had a solid experience. The food was fresh, well-prepared, and came out quickly. Nothing particularly stood out or wowed me, but everything was made well and hit the spot. We ordered a variety of dishes including: * Soon tofu soups (combination, beef, and Bu Dae) * Galbi short ribs * Pork bulgogi * Pork cheese katsu The side dishes were great -- flavorful and a perfect complement to the main dishes. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The staff made sure everything came out fresh and checked in just the right amount. The ambiance is casual but clean and comfortable, with plenty of seating and a relaxed vibe -- great for a low-key lunch or dinner spot. Overall, while it didn't blow me away, it's a dependable choice for Korean comfort food and I'd recommend it if you're in the area and craving soon tofu. read more

This was our first stop in Denver and needless to say it set the bar. Transparently, no one from my group ever had tofu before so we were stepping out of our comfort zone. We were immediately greeted and seated by the sweetest woman. We all ordered various tofu soup combos. I got the LA combo that has the short ribs and MAN they were so juicy and flavorful. The seafood combo tofu was delicious! I especially loved the small plates we were provided - my favs were the Kimchi, squid, and cucumbers. I hope future tofu dishes I try are as great as this place. read more

Items ordered: -Seafood Pancake -King steamed Egg -kimchi tofu soup I would give 5 stars for the prompt service and kind server. The seafood pancake was solid and steamed egg was pretty good but priced a bit high. Tofu soup now being $18 is shocking but I guess thats how it is now days. The issue I had was with the tofu soup itself for being a tofu restaurant. The soup wasnt even hot where the raw egg that was added didnt even cook. I had to ask them to heat it up and then it was served hot and boiling. It was more like a porridge consistency and salty (in a sense of very overpowering flavor and spice) But the side dishes were great! Very clean nice restaurant vibe as well. read more

We had a great time here and actually enjoyed some hearty Korean food after the Korean sauna. The restaurant is new and clean. They are very popular so it can get a little busy between 3 servers.

When you walk in, it looks like a very clean location. It's very bright and each table has its own "privacy" with walls and pillars splitting it up. There's an outdoor patio if you're interested in eating outside. There are plenty of seats. Each table comes with a bell to signal a staffs attention. The tables come with a drawer for the utensils. Unfortunately, our table had none so we had to wait a while for them. Service was kinda meh but it looks like there was one person for the entire dining room. It comes with a nice variety of banchan or sidedishes. I didn't know that so I ordered the kimchi soon tofu. But the kimchi was really good. There's a nice variation of spicy and non-spicy sides plus a green salad so you get your veggies in. The kimchi soon tofu was quite good. I like how soft the tofu was. It came with tiny pork belly pieces and a choice of white or purple rice. If you want something healthier, purple rice would be the way to go. read more

Walked into the restaurant and was well lit and clean. The place looked promising. Walking in around 750pm on a Monday night. Maybe 3 tables were filled. Was not busy however service was pretty slow due to only one server working. If I'm getting straight to the point - the food was bad. We got kimchi soondubu and cheese pork cutlet combo. The cheese 돈까스 looked nothing like what it looked like the picture on the menu. There was barely any cheese... also very dry and hard. Soondubu was also pretty terrible. The soup was so thick.. not enough water. And salty. It was almost like a stew consistency and that's just not how you're supposed to make soondubu. Also pretty greasy and I don't know how that just happens. Also got 떡볶이, couldn't even have a second bite cause overly sweet and had weird tab water taste... Never had any 떡볶이 like this in my life. Fried mandus were ok. Also idk why all the plates were sticky. Felt like they weren't very clean. Idk if it was due to the material. The server was friendly and that was the only good part about this place - hence why the 2 stars. My sister said this place wasn't this bad, I don't know what happened tonight but I will not be coming here again. read more

When we first walked in we were able to be seated right away. From the start, this restaurant is well designed and simple. It's modern and gives off a clean look. There isn't a huge amount of seating but if it were a busier day, I'd look at a 30min-1hr wait. This place is also not good for bigger groups of 6 or more. I will say, the service isn't top tier too. But the food did come out really fast. We didn't wait long for our food to come out. The place ranges about $20+ per person as well. Food: Combo 4/5 -- Kimchi tofu w/ galbi. The portions are small. They have about 6 pieces of meat. The tofu has so much flavor and character! Mandu soup 5/5 -- loved this. It was really hot for awhile but overall it was worth the wait! The soup had really good flavor but I had about 3 dumplings in my soup. Spicy marinated crab 3/5 - The flavor of the crab was really well seasoned and good! I wish the crab were a little bit bigger and had more meat. My crabs were small, with not a lot of meat in it. I took mine home and ate it because I didn't feel like digging in a pile of sauce for nothing at the restaurant (not that relevant). I would order it again if I was craving it! Overall, I would def come back! The quality of their food was great but hopefully their service would be next time too. read more

Finally decided to try this place. Small and next to Seoul BBQ. Don't miss it! The tofu soup is delicious and so is the purple rice. And then the bang chan (?sp) freebie sides are wonderful.

And this place packs them in. We will be back. Maybe see you there next time?! read more

I love soondubu and crave it even on hot days, so when an errand brought me to Aurora I had to come check this place out. The restaurant has plenty of seating and there was no wait for a Friday evening. Service is prompt and attentive, and food comes out super fast! I ordered the mushroom soondubu which to my surprise does not come with an egg which I had always thought was standard. If you want an egg you need to order it in addition. I was also a bit disappointed my soondubu was mild at best when I had ordered it spicy. However, mushroom portion is extremely generous, the broth is very flavorful and the tofu which they apparently make in house was perfectly silken! The banchan were ok at best, the flavors were just not very strong and kimchi especially was not the best I've had. read more
