Overall, it was pretty good. The bad: They were out of pork and bulgogi so that limited our options Food took a long time to come out The sides took a long time to come out The good: The service was pretty good The galbi was very good The potatoes were flavorful The beef tofu soup was good. I wish they gave us the egg to put it in ourselves rather than it being put in for us like some of the other Korean restaurants Rice weals perfectly cooked The inside is clean Overall, a solid choice. I'd come back. read more

Tofu Town - Korean Near Me - Pearland, Texas

So happy to find a place serving authentic Korean food in Pearland. The banchan is generous and unique here, although I wish kimchi was included. I loved the salad, fish cake, crispy tofu, and rice cake with soy sauce. The mushroom tofu stew and galbi arrived sizzling hot. I got a level 3 spice for the mushroom tofu stew and felt like I could have gone a little higher. I also wish the egg was cracked on top so I could poach it myself - by the time I found the egg in the soup, it was overcooked. Otherwise the soup was exactly what I was craving! The galbi was a bit of a let down. The pieces were very thick and a bit tough to chew, not very tender. They had great flavor though, and I left full and satisfied. Overall I would come back and perhaps give their bibimbap a try next time. read more

Recently visited Tofu town to try their hot stone bibimbap since we lack good Korean restaurants in Pearland. I specifically went there for their hot stone bibimbap and while the dish itself was delicious. I was disappointed with one major thing: the hot stone bowl just wasn't hot enough. The point of bibimbap is to let the rice at the bottom of the bowl crisp up as it sits in the sizzling stone, but unfortunately, the bowl didn't come out hot enough for that. By the time I mixed everything together, the rice was more soft than crispy, and I didn't get that signature crispy crunch at the bottom. For a dish like bibimbap, the temperature of the stone is crucial. I hope they pay more attention to this next time. The service was friendly and banchan was delicious and location is perfect for me. I'll consider giving them another shot, but I was definitely a bit disappointed with the main dish this time. read more

My family and I had a really good dinner here. We tried a variety of their items such as the kimchi pancake, pan fried pork dumplings, and bulgogi stone bowls. Everything was tasty and flavorful, and were large portions. Amongst our dishes we also enjoyed their banchan, especially the fried tofu and kimchi. The service was great and this place is on par with restaurants found in Chinatown, and the space is very open with high ceilings. Would return! read more

Family and friends love it here! I've been back a few times since it's so nice having a legit Korean spot near home that reminds me of BCD. This spot offers a comfortable amount of seating that feels clean and new. Service has always been quick whether it was lunch or dinner. The food is tasty and comforting with a good amount of banchan including standouts like the fried tofu (which everyone agrees is bomb). Even the salad is good. They offer the various types of soup with mushroom or beef being our preferences and meat plates like galbi and bulgogi. I highly recommend getting the combo so you can eat both (also seems more cost effective). Even the way the rice is prepared is a little different which gives it a more interesting flavor and texture. At the end of your meal, they give you a round of yakult at the end which is a nice touch I haven't seen before. Overall, very happy to have this place around and be a repeat customer. read more

Went for dinner. The restaurant is big with ample seating and dim lighting. We were immediately sat. We had the combo of beef tofu soup and galbi, as well as the kimchi pancake. This all totaled about $50 for two and we went home with plentiful leftovers. The amount of banchan they give is great. I really liked the braised quail eggs. The rice was scorched rice, although I wish it was a little softer. The galbi was a good portion to share and the beef tofu soup was overflowing with soft tofu and beef. The beef in the tofu soup was kind of tough but still tasty. The kimchi pancake was also delicious. We got it medium-cooked, but I usually like mine's a little crispier, so we should have asked for well-done. Then the meal finished with a yakult. Overall, it was a delicious meal. I'm glad we're getting much more Asian options in Pearland. Will definitely need to come back to try their other menu items! read more

My family has come here multiple times and has seen the changes in management. Before, the food was more flavorful and the banchan was good. I would also say that the portion sizes were much better. I loved their previous house salad with the sesame seeds and fried shallots. The food was more similar to the Tofu Village in Bellaire. This time, the beef tofu stew I got hardly had any flavor even though I had chosen medium spice there was no spice at all. Flavor of the pork bulgogi was more mild as well. Based on the pricing, it's not worth spending due to the lack of authentic flavors. It is now very much like the other Asian restaurants in the shadow creek area in my opinion. My family misses how the food was before. Staff were kind and attentive. Service was good. The vibe of the place was nice....until some random lady walked in the store and started screaming.... read more

Tofu Town - Combination with Pork Bulgogi and Beef Tofu Stew - Korean Near Me - Pearland, Texas

Stopped by for lunch at noon on a Wednesday. The restaurant had a few other parties, but it was mostly empty. The server was very friendly and attentive to our needs. After ordering, he brought out all the Korean small dishes. My favorite were the fried tofu and tofu slices. We ordered the bulgogi hot clay pot (i.e. Bibimbap). It came out very hot and filled with tasty veggies, bulgogi, and a fried egg. The pot crisped up the rice as you ate, creating a saucy, crispy rice sheet. I have not found many places that do bibimbap well, but Tofu Town is definitely a great one. The value was pretty good as well. Looking forward to coming again! read more

Tofu Town - Beef Bulgogi Hot Stone Bowl - Korean Near Me - Pearland, Texas

I really wish Tofu Town was closer to me, because I fell in love with this restaurant! The service was incredible. The Korean woman and waiter went above and beyond to check up on our table frequently, and made sure we had plenty of banchan refills. She even hand packed our left overs, and gave us plenty of recommendations during our meal. We really felt taken care of. I ordered the combo set with kimchi tofu soup and galb, which came with a bowl of hot rice and plenty of banchan. Everything tasted impeccable and fresh, and it was so plentiful that I had left overs for the next day. It was very hearty to eat on a cold day. I highly recommend trying this establishment. There are few that have been comparable to my experience here! read more

Yummy food nearby! We went around 5 pm and there 2 tables full. However, it got busy packed once we placed our order. The sides are so yummy! The rice was a little burnt but still good. The soup flavor was nice but not amazing. Would I go back again? Yes. But if I'm willing to drive more, I will go to tofu village because they give fish and the flavor is more rich. They have a bar area for people who might just stop in to grab a quick lunch? There was a section that had too much light coming into the restaurant but overall it was nice and we enjoyed the food! read more

The food was a pleasant experience. I got the seafood pancake and the oyster tofu stew. Both were AMAZING. The seafood pancake is pretty big and would be great for sharing. They also offer complimentary barley tea, just like a lot of authentic Korean restaurants, which I loved. The stew came with rice and a piece of fried fish. I was initially excited about the fish but it was very hard to eat. Very difficult to tear the meat off. You could tell the fish had been made in the morning and had been sitting around the whole day. That was the only food I didn't enjoy. Everything else was perfect read more

This is a new Korean restaurant that's open and airy. We came in on a Saturday late afternoon and it was quiet with only a few other customers. Our server, Kim was pleasant and attentive and offered good suggestions. The food is very good and authentic (we lived in South Korea for over 10 years) and this is quite similar to what we had there. We will be back. read more

Tofu town just opened so I think they're still finding their footing. I will say the sides are pretty good and the service was great. They checked on us pretty frequently. However I didn't really like the seafood pancake as much, I think it was a bit lumpy and the bell peppers kind of overpower the seafood in the pancake. The soup was fine but I think I'd rather go to Bellaire if I really have the craving for it. Lots of parking in the plaza and pretty decently sized restaurant that played kpop. read more

Very welcoming to get some Korean options in this neck of the woods. I went for a lunch bibimbap to go and service was quick and the packaging worked surprisingly well. It comes with plenty of kimchi and portions were large enough I had some leftovers. I do wish I had just dined in though as the dish really needs a hot stone bowl. Rice was very greasy and the egg on the top is so small and overcooked. I suspect it's because I got it to go. Worth another shot maybe for other items on the menu. read more

Was so excited that a Korean cuisine is coming to Pearland again. Went on a weekday to grab some lunch. Took a while to be seated since there were only 2 main waiters, and it was packed. Pretty new place so it's short staffed and the service was ok. Plenty of seating (tables/booth/bar); there's a pretty mural, and the restaurant had a nice ambience. Ordered the combination meal which includes a tofu stew & BBQ (selected beef tofu stew w/ mild spice & galbi was an extra $4). So the food that came out was correct, but I had a feeling the presentation was not right... I asked if the galbi in a bento box was correct, and the worker who brought out the food said the order is right. Eventually the beef tofu stew came out. Galbi was the highlight of the meal. The kimchi and other banchan were good. Beef tofu stew was average. Let's just say mild spice in Pearland is NOT the same as mild spice in Bellaire or Houston's Korea town. If I ever order a stew again, will probably do medium spice. Also the rice that came with the stew was too mushy. Later confirmed my suspicions once I talked to a friend who dined here before. Was missing a salad; galbi should've been on a hot plate, not a bento lunch box; banchan should've been in individual small trays. I should've double checked with a different worker/waiter but oh well... Also got to try some of the beef bulgogi in a hot stone bowl. Great flavor BUT the rice was not cooked well unfortunately. Too much water must've been added, so texture was super mushy. Even in the hot stone bowl, the rice stayed super soft. May revisit in the future. Food quality was good but preparation not so great. Hopefully service and food improves next time. read more

Level 4 spice vegetable tofu soup - not spicy at all. Bulgogi - needs more marination. Overall 3/5 but because there are no good Korean spots in Pearland they get a 4/5. read more

What went well? Everything!? Our server was so welcoming, sweet and friendly! The dining room is modern, clean and has call backs to S Korea. The food was so authentic in style, taste and offering. I can't eat a lot so I ordered the kids pork katsu, so delicious! Before our meal arrived; they bring the typical Korea sides and offerings of kimchi, fish cake, bean sprouts, radish and dried fish...and salad. Oh and fried tofu with honey. Then our meal arrived!! It was delish. A wonderful lunch with my soon to be leaving the nest son; as he is bound for college and then Korea. We will return before his wings grow to leave the nest! Wonderful experience! read more

This place is awesome! I love the quality of their banchan - really good and they give you quite a variety of choices. I ordered the tofu stew with mixed beef and seafood, spicy level 4 (highest is 5) and it was perfect for me. There is a good quantity of beed in the soup. I also like the fact that the shrimps have been de-shelled so I don't need to peel them myself. And the price is very fair at $14.95. Waitress is also very nice and attentive. I will definitely go again! read more

I don't think I've had better banchan (side dishes) in America at any other Korean places. It was so good!! We ordered the chicken skewers, galbi, and bulgogi for meats and we agreed it was better than a lot of other non-KBBQ Korean establishment meats. I also got the jjamppong which was really good too and had a great level of spice. The only things that fell flat were the kimchi and the rice, which wasn't fully cooked enough. Definitely want to come back again :) read more

So grateful that a new Korean restaurant has come to Pearland! Delicious plates and amazing service. Some picky notes I would have for the dishes are that they are on the sweeter side than savory and that the rice was softer than desired. Additionally, the Galbi could use more char for that quintessential Korean BBQ taste. I believe it is very similar or a sub-franchise of Tofu Village, but they are still working towards being more efficient and perfecting their recipes. However, it is still their soft opening and they were very receptive and open to the feedback we left for them at the end of our meal. Overall, I recommend everyone to at least try the restaurant, but I know for sure I will be coming back! read more
