    Banchan: fried tofu, kimchi, fish cake, potato salad, salted fish, and salad
    Carissa C.

    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!

    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.

    Banchan
    Jennifer N.

    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!

    Combination with Pork Bulgogi and Beef Tofu Stew
    Aly L.

    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....

    Beef Bulgogi Hot Stone Bowl
    Peter W.

    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!

    Recently changed owner and I came back to try. Food was delicious Service was top notch Ambiance was absolutely what we were looking for.

    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!

    Seafood pancake
    Marian G.

    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.

    Bulgogi bibimbap
    Herman L.

    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.

    Jenny Q.

    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.

    Spicy Cold Noodle - it's alright
    Vee h.

    Food and service were good. No physical menu, they will ask you to scan the QR code to view it. Food came with Korean side dishes - fish cake, tofu, greens, salad, Napa and radish kimchi. The noodle was OK but the Kalbi was delicious. Will return to try another food!

    Galbi & banchan that's part of the combination meal but should NOT be served in a bento box...
    Tiffany H.

    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.

    Sides and savors

    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!

    Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

I arrived around 5:35 PM, about 25 minutes before closing, and ordered 1/2 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of ribs. The brisket was $17, and unfortunately it was extremely greasy and so overcooked that the meat had become mushy. It still had good flavor, but the texture was nothing like the brisket I've normally gotten here. Judging by what I received, it felt like I may have gotten what was left at the end of the day. The ribs were $12, and my "1/2 lb" consisted of two individual ribs. They tasted good, but they weren't nearly as tender as I've had here before. I paid about $29 just for the meat, and for that price I expected much better quality and portioning. I understand that I came close to closing time, but I still paid full price and should receive the same quality of food as any other customer. If the brisket is past its best or there isn't enough left to make a proper order, I'd rather be told that so I can order something else. I'm not writing the place off because they've been good to me many times before. But this particular order was definitely not up to their usual standard, and the pictures speak for themselves.
