Very authentic and DELICIOUS korean food! I tried their pork and kimchi soon tofu, BBQ pork rib (both soy sauce and spicy sauce were really good!), and their hot stone pot rice combo with LA kalbi. Everything came out hot and the flavor was just right, not to mention their side dishes were also fresh and super tasty. Will definitely be back to try other food on the menu!

Went here for soondooboo and was pretty disappointed at the stale banchan (side dish) and mediocre soup. It used to be one of the best tofu places around. I hope the other dishes are better.

The restaurant’s soon dubu (soft tofu soup) is the best I’ve tasted – rich, flavorful, and always served piping hot. Whether it’s the seafood, pork, or beef variations, every bowl is pure comfort and perfect for sharing with friends or family. Every meal comes with freshly prepared banchan, adding variety and authentic Korean touch to every bite. The staff are happy to help first-timers with recommendations or menu choices. For anyone craving hearty Korean food and a friendly atmosphere, you can’t beat Myung Dong Tofu House. Highly recommended for both casual lunches, dinners and special gatherings – I’ll definitely be back for more!

I really love Korean-style cold noodles (naengmyeon), and if a place makes their own noodles, I’m always willing to try it. The noodles here were excellent in texture, but the broth was lacking in depth and flavor. While this isn’t a naengmyeon specialty restaurant, if they’re going to keep it on the menu, it might be worth putting a bit more care into the broth. Honestly, the soy-marinated pork ribs and other dishes might be a better choice here than the naengmyeon.
I visited again after a long time and ate soft tofu, cold noodles, and grilled pork ribs in soy sauce. Sundubu is similar in every restaurant, but Korean-style naengmyeon gets high marks because the noodles are made directly . It is not easy to make noodles yourself using a noodle machine. In Korea, only famous cold noodle restaurants make noodles themselves.
The pork ribs were delicious as they had no smell, the meat was soft, and there was a lot of it. The staff were especially friendly, so I didn’t regret giving them a tip.
These days, it’s hard to eat in a world where tips are so expensive. It’s been a while since I’ve been back, but I always want to visit this restaurant.

This is real Korean food. It’s so delicious. I love that I can taste Korean food on “Mukbang” without having to go all the way to Korea. Real Korean food from a real korean restaurant, not the taste of a restaurant full of MSG.
Although the name of the restaurant is a soft tofu restaurant, the other menu items are even more surprisingly delicious. The service is also excellent.

This place used to be good with $10.99 noodle lunch specials, but after a recent management change, their soft tofu jjigaes are not that good. So sad I may have to go back to BCD in the neighborhood. Liked their Banchans though.

Great place to have authentic Korean food.this was probably a second visit we ate here. The foods were steaming hot and delicious. The side dishes were also so good to eat. This place seemed very popular with the Koreans . It was always busy and people was waiting outside. Services here were fast and courtesy. The noises were medium and enjoyable that you still can carry on with your conversation.

Super authentic Korean restaurant. The servers spoke very little English—just enough to be sweet and helpful. And the food was very good, and totally legit. So great to have some authenticity!

My go-to traditional Korean restaurant in Buena Park. I usually order bossam, galbi, grilled pork ribs, tofu soup, sometimes mackerel. Good variety of banchan. Usually lots of old Korean people there. That’s a good sign.
