They got good tofu. I order one today stew with beef and the other one with mushrooms. They use the fatty beef and the broth is too oily for me. That combined with be good with mid spicy or higher. But the mushroom one is perfect to get the clear broth. I'll order hot &spicy with the meat tofu in the future. That will be a perfect balance with some fat and spicy with the rice. Orders come out around 10 minutes. It's closed to the closing time. Workers were a little chatty and you needed to draw their attention if you needed service. Once they got it, service is quick It's quiet for a Saturday night but it's exactly I needed for tonight, the night before the bizarre snow. read more

Tofu Story is a perfect for comfort food, living up to its reputation for affordable, flavorful, and authentic Korean dining. The ambiance is casual and feels like an extension of a Korean home kitchen--a perfectly cozy setting for their specialties. The Soondubu (Soft Tofu Stew) is truly excellent (5/5). It features silky, tender tofu swimming in a rich, comforting, and perfectly spiced broth--it's arguably the best version of this classic comfort dish. The protein that pairs perfectly with the stew is the Galbi (Marinated Short Ribs), which is well-flavored (4.5/5). It's sweet, savory, and charred just right, offering excellent value as part of their famous combo deals. Tofu Story is incredibly affordable, especially with their Soon Tofu Combos (e.g., with LA Galbi or Bulgogi) which offer a high-quality main dish and stew for a great price point. The dining experience is enhanced by the generous supply of Banchan, which are plentiful (4.5/5). The absolute star among them is the Bean Sprouts (5/5), which are fresh, crunchy, and perfectly and the crunchy sweet savory peanuts with tiny shrimps ( 5/5). The Vibe is homey, casual, and authentic (4.5/5), making this a reliable, no-frills destination for high-quality, soulful Korean food. Service (5/5), the waitresses were attentive and explained everything. They found out we were Chinese and spoke fluent Mandarin. Overall Verdict: A Must-Visit. Tofu Story is a stellar example of why Flushing is a Korean food haven. Go for the Soondubu Combo and enjoy the banchan! read more

Check out @tofustory for some amazing, cozy, and authentic Korean food! This place is great for a hearty and tasty Korean meal that will fill you up. It's especially great for the winter time. The seafood tofu stew was absolutely amazing with mussels, tofu, crap, and shrimp. The Korean pancake was also amazing. The kimchi dumplings were also divine. I also like how they hand make the dumplings right in the store. The customer service was also really good. They were very attentive and poured a lot of love into their food. The food also comes out really quickly. It isn't too crowded or a wait to go in, and the space is large and spacious. I would definitely recommend this place for some delicious and authentic Korean food that focuses a lot on tofu. The tea that they served was also very warm and comfy, a great way to wash down the delicious and hearty meal! They have a lot of things on their menu and their spreads are really good.

I'm a big fan of this place and very surprised on the low reviews. When I come here, the place is always empty with 1-2 tables (also surprising but I'm thankful I don't have to wait). Service is very quick and friendly. I always get the LA Galbi + pork soon tofu combo. I suggest mild soon tofu soup if you cannot handle spicy. With the free banchan, white rice, this is a complete satisfying meal! I always have more than enough and take some home for the next day. For $32-$33, this is so worth it! read more

Really good soup and great soup combos as well. Be sure to get it either mild or hot but don't get spicy it's too much heat and you will regret it. the banchon is really good they give a bunch for the table before the entree comes in. on a cold winter day the soup hits home and is very cozy. the service is kind and helps out with picking in the menu. they even recommended the purple rice which was delicious. i'd go here again it's 10/10 A+ worth it read more

I've been coming here for years to satisfy my soondubu cravings. The service is always consistent, banchan is solid and food is delicious. I would say it is on par with a lot of the korean restaurants that specialize in tofu stew in the area in terms of quality & quantity of food and pricing. They have a pretty extensive menu with BBQ meat combos, apps and other entrees if you're in the mood for other Korean food but I've always defaulted to the classic beef tofu stew. The restaurant is clean and service is usually fast and friendly. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a solid Korean or tofu stew spot in Murray Hill. read more

3 1/2 stars. I do not recall whether I have reviewed this restaurant on here or not, but I have been coming here for some time with the family. It had been a little bit since our last time. I found the pancake to be overly fried. Too crispy. Almost burnt. The amount of little dishes seem to have shrunken. Times are hard. I was very pleased with my oyster tofu. The galbi was its usual self. The bibimbap looked good, but I did not have any of it. Our servers were very pleasant and the place looked clean per usual. Will be back next time the family requires Korean food. 3 1/2 stars. I do not recall whether I have reviewed this restaurant on here or not, but I have been coming here for some time with the family.

Had an awesome lunch at tofu story, I pass this place every time I head to work, today I decided to stop in for some lunch. I ordered the combination tofu bowl, consist of beef, seafood,and tofu mild spicy. It was delicious, they also offer me optional white rice or purple rice. Today was my first time trying purple rice, I loved it, it was very tasty. The server mentioned it was healthier and many people ordered it instead of white rice. My bill came out to be $16 for the tofu bowl, all the side they gave were actually free, and If you like one side more the server would offer you seconds. They gave a total of 7 little portions of cold side dishes, I think this was an amazing deal. I had an enjoyed lunch today, they would definitely see me soon ! read more

Tofu Story - Combination tofu bowl - Korean Near Me - Queens, New York

I came here with a party of 4 on a holiday. I'm glad they were open when I found out BCD on Northern closed down. We ordered the standard soondubu for everyone, along with seafood pancake and grilled squid. The grilled squid I thought was a bit too spicy for our taste. We were told it would not be spicy at all. The seafood pancake was decent. The LA galbi was tender and delicious. The only complaint I have was that one of the soondobu order came out incorrect, even though our server confirmed all of our orders before taking the order into the kitchen. It wasn't a big deal but some others could be a bit off putting by it. Nevertheless; very decent quality soondubu spot! Would likely still return in the future. read more

Went to Tofu Story with my family. Great food, esp jap chae and seafood pancakes. Excellent service and comfortable place.

Hot tofu on a cold winter night. Can't go wrong with that comfort food. We drop into Tofu Story in Flushing. This was once called Mr Tofu, but I guess they changed owners. Ambience: clean, modern dining room, with tables that can accommodate large party of 10. Food: we ordered Galbi Tang - hot Korean short rib broth. Very heavy and rich, but oh so good. Only complaint is that it looks like they trimmed off a significant portion of the short rib meat and was mostly rib... 3/5 Beef soft tofu - comes bubbling hot. Really hits the spot! 4/5 Steamed egg - a favorite of the kids. 5/5 LA Galbi - Korean BBQ. Great flavor but portion size is noticeably smaller than other places 3/5. TL/DR: An otherwise good Korean Tofu restaurant that skimps on the portion sizes. If you are on a diet, then it's good for you, but there are other places that offer better value with the same quality. read more

Great spot for a comfortable meal with young kids on northern Blvd if you are craving for Korean food. Waiting staff are attentive and bring the stuff you need right away . What I love about the restaurant is the wide variety of complementary dishes. Some places only give you 3-4 different ones max . This place gives you 9 different ones and you can get refills as well! The tofu soup was very good as well. Tofu in the soup was surprising soft which I like a lot . The seafood pancake in my opinion wasn't the best I've tried as the stuff in the pancake falls out and I ve had better pancake elsewhere. read more

Honestly surprised by this place! Clean and quiet inside when we arrived at 7pm. We ordered: Bulgogi Bibimbap $22.95 La Galbi + Tofu soup combo $32.95 Side dishes were okay, nothing to hit home about. The bibimbap was HUGE when it arrived! It came with such a big spoon too, I love it. Remember to ask for the spicy sauce because it's not automatically included in the stone pot! The bibimbap hit the right spot on a cold windy day! The LA Galbi was marinated super well, I loved the sauce on it! Wish it was less fatty though, some pieces were like 85% fat and no meat! Overall, I liked i! Service was also quick. Would definitely come back for the bibimbap again! read more

Just your average Korean sundubu spot. Nothing really stood out about this place. The seating is nice and I liked how clean everything was. The service here is really spot on, the waitresses were really hospitable to our large group and we ordered a lot of food and it all came out very fast and hot. They also never stopping refilling the banchon and drinks. The sundubus were okay. One of our friends ordered mild but he felt like it was much spicier than mild, strange for being the lowest spice level on the menu. Our friends thought that their bibimbaps and japchae were much better than their tofu stew. To sum it up, TofuStory has quality service and decent food. What's also a perk about this place is that they have a dessert spot right next door and is accessible through a hallway. read more

We come here quite often. The most recent time, we came here with a party of 5 on a Sunday night. We didn't have to wait for our table even though they were fairly packed. The waitress was very nice. They were very generous and refilled our side dishes multiple times. Food was came out quick and was delicious and very filling. With all of the combos, you may choose any of the soon tofu from the list We ordered: 1) Soon tofu combo with Geundogo Gui (Grilled mackerel) - Fish was flavorful. It has a big bone in the middle but that was easy to take out. Fish was a lot bigger than I thought it would be 2) Soon tofu combo with spicy pork - yummm!! Just the right amount of spicy. The spicy pork comes on a hit plate, smaller than the regular sized. 3) Soon tofu combo with Galbi (marinated short ribs) - delicious. Also comes on a smaller sized hot plate 4) Soon tofu combo with bulgolgi - was ok, nothing too special. Also comes on a smaller sized hot plate read more

Came in to eat around 9:30 since I thought the restaurant closes at 11. The staff started packing up already at 10 and closed the AC while we were still eating and asked us to pay the bill first. The service was adequate as the waitress refilled our banchans without us asking. The banchans were tasty and a wide assortment. Soondubu was flavorful and came out steaming hot. The galbi was a large portion and very flavorful. I don't recommend the steamed egg as it was very watered down and lacked flavor. I'll go back to Ziggle next time. read more

I have only tried the meat dumplings so I can't say how the dine in food is. I got the dumplings to go and they steam it to order which takes about 5 mins. You get 9 dumplings and they are pretty big for each piece. I like that they put quite a bit of filling and the skin is pretty thin. Flavor wise, it is more on the mild side if you don't use any dipping sauces. The filling is a mix of meat and veggies with some glass noodles. I like that the dipping sauce is sweet, savory and tangy. I feel like it would go really nice with a side of kimchi or pickled radish for the extra zip of flavor. The total came out to be $13 after tax which is a bit hefty in price for dumplings, but they are a pretty decent size if you have it as a meal. If you are starving then I would say it wouldn't be the most filling, but for a quick no fuss meal, I enjoyed this quite a bit. I haven't tried their tofu items, but I am curious to try it if I were to dine in. They also have these large buns that you can get to go for $3 along with the dumplings. Overall, I definitely enjoyed the dumplings. read more

Came in for some late night dinner and it was 9:50pm they close at 10:30pm but they still kindly let us dine in and grab some dinner. Which made my night!!! We ordered two seafood tofu stews medium spicy and glabi and some deep fried dumpling. The stew was pretty okay. Medium was the perfect amount of spice. The galbi was really good! Overall the bill came out to 90-100 something after tip which is expected. But given the quality and service and my experience I say it was worth it. read more

Was in the flushing area and decided to treat myself to some soon du bu jigae ( spicy soft tofu stew). There are soooo many side dishes (ban chan). All very good and tasty. Then they bring out the steam hot bowl of goodness with a side of bap (rice). They cracked the egg for my in the stew and the egg just cooked on its own in that hot goodness (LOL) The staff here was very friendly to my friend and myself. They keep refilling the tea which was nice because it was a chilly day. I came to this spot around 6 oclock on a Friday evening. When we walked in there were people there already, but not alot. We were able to get a seat right away. read more

3.8/5 stars! I think Tofu Story is a decent spot if you're looking for a basic selection of Korean food. They have soft tofu stew, japchae glass noodles, bibimbap, chicken ginseng soup, etc. I noticed that their staff speak both Korean and Chinese, which is a nice bonus! Pros: - Relatively cheap Korean dishes compared to Manhattan prices Cons: - The banchan is meh In summation, Tofu Story is a solid choice for quick Korean eats, but it does not match the Manhattan BCD Tofu quality. Nevertheless, it's a convenient and good spot in Queens. I hope they will improve! read more

This place has decayed in terms of food and service. I an having lunch on a Tuesday at 1 pm and i cannot get service in a restaurant where there are only 3 tables out of the entire place. We order the seafood tofu soup, bland at best, it had 1 shrimp and 1 clam and some thinly sliced zucchini. The egg was like extra small. I can understand food cost is up and at $12.95 you dont get much. Yeah the place looks clean, but the lack of service and the lack of food in my bowl will not get me to come back. Will have to look for another place, what a shame. I been coming here for a long time. read more

Always been my go to place for Korean tofu. I been coming since it was called Mr. Tofu. I think the food is very good and consistent from the times I have come. They use to open till much later but still a good time. I feel the tofu soups are very good. I always get the extra . They make a very good Japchae. I just about alway also get the Kalbi and bulgogi. They make this very good I feel. The spicy pork belly is yummy as well. This place also offers a good amount of the free dishes which is very nice even though I only eat the tofu one. However friends and family always seems to enjoy. Other then the service this place is very good. Service can be spotty only due to the fact they seem to always be short staffed. If you come when slow service is pretty good. Prices are on par with most Korean restaurants. However place is nice and spacious with larger tables which I like because I tend to like to order a lot of things to eat. read more

Back again! This is probably my favorite korean food spot on Northern Blvd. Their naengmyun is icy and very satisfying. Their combos are still at a great price! We got two mul naengmyun one with spicy pork combo and one regular. If you ask, they can swap the meat combos wirh another in the soon tofu section! At least thats what the manager told us! The spicy fatty pork and the cold vingeary noodles really balanced each other out! Will definitely be back, especially since the weather is going up. Service is 5/5 and food is 5/5!

Not good. I ordered the combo meal, Tofu soup with seafood and the pork bulgogi. The Tofu soup had very little seafood and bland. The pork bulgogi was even worst. The meat was extremely dried and not tasty. I also ordered the seafood pancake. Very little seafood and doughy. Garbage... I decided to try this place but this restaurant is definitely one and done for me. There is a far superior Tofu restaurant a few blocks away in the Hmart Plaza at 156th St and Northern Blvd. Food and ambience much better. read more

This place is amazing!!!! Ordered the spicy raw crab and raw fish as appetizers. I thought the crab would be really weird but ended up as my favorite! It's very fresh and nice seasoned with the hot sauce. Basically has the same texture as sweet shrimp. The fish was ok, not as special as the crab. The seafood pancake was huge and full of seafood. You could get a mouthful of different seafood from every single bite. The bulgogi is very nice. Juicy, tender, nicely seasoned with a sweet sauce! And at last, the price is reasonable, and I'll definitely come back here to visit again! read more

A great spot for the hearty traditional Korean meal soondubu, soft tofu stew. They have a variety of different mix-ins for their stews, such as kimchi, mushroom, seafood - and customizable heat levels for the softer stomachs. Be ready for an onslaught of Korean small dishes, the classic banchan. Even for us two, the table was teeming with side dishes of all kinds. If you're not familiar with banchan, they'll provide you with a unique collection of small plates to remember. I definitely prefer this place for takeout though rather than dine-in - the atmosphere isn't quite as cozy as one of its top rivals, BCD Tofu House not far down the road in Bayside. Parking is fairly minimal, so it's easier to have someone idle the engine while you pop in and pick up your order. Still, nothing hits the spot like that hot tofu stew on a chilly day (or, let's be real, any time of year!) read more

This is by far the worst tofu restaurant I ever been to. Their tofu base is made with shinramyun packets. I eat so much shinramyun at home, I recognize that base anywhere. $16 for tofu made with instant noodle packets, unbelievable. Their side dishes are disgustingly made and not traditional korean at all. I ordered purple rice and it was also very mushy and not fresh. Im not sure why this place is still in business. The coke I ordered was the best thing on the menu. Go someplace else, this place is a waste of money. read more

Mr. Soon Tofu I came here on a Friday night with a friend cause we wnted something soupy and warm so we decided to give this place a try. When we wlked in it was bright and clean it was simply decorated and we got sat down fairly quickly (as there were very few people at the time). We ordered a Beef Soondubu and Haemul Pajeon. This was enough for 2 people that was fairly hungry. So after we ordered we got a wholeeeeee table full of ban chan (side dishes)!!! Man were they delicioussssss! Thank goodness we only ordered 2 things cause including the side dishes we were STUFFED! The seafood pankcake was delicioussss! Perfectly cooked on the inside and soooooooooooooo CRISPAYYYYYYY! on the outside. One of the bestttttt pancakes ive ever had. The beef soondubu was mediocre for me. The flavor probably could have been stronger and more indepth, but i really liked the fact that u can see small chunks of been and actually get to chew on the beef ( know what i mean?) but i prefer BCD Tofu House's soondubu better. The price for 2 people who shared the soup n pancake was a total bargain! Overall i would come back here. The pancake and banchans got me good read more
