Customer Reviews
Do not pay for parking! We almost did but I went to check if this restaurant validates and there was a sign saying that the first 90mins at Grandma Tofu is free. I got the seafood combo tofu stew with the spicy level. It was not as flavorful or spicy as expected. I've had better at other Korean restaurants. It took awhile for the food to come out. We ordered the dumpling mandu as starters and they did not come out until after our mains were delivered. I think they might have forgotten about it. I did like their side dishes. They were great.
This was probably one of the best kbbq experiences I’ve had. It was a little pricey we ordered 3 things off the menu and spent about $100 but it was well worth it. We ordered the marinated shortrib and marinated chicken and seafood/vegetable pancake. Pancake wasn’t what we were used to but they put a crispy panko crust over the top that made it so much better! Chicken was soooo flavorful all the way through. Shorts rib was by far in my top 3 marinated short ribs of all time. Tender, flavorful, good char. We also ordered a Barley tea (never had it before) and immediately after we left we went to H Mart to buy a bag (sadly they did not have any for sale at the KBBQ spot). Had it for breakfast the next day and had out leftovers for lunch the next day.
Food and banchan were awesome as always. Free 90 minute parking if dining in! The service was surprisingly thoughtful and friendly today- it's not usually bad, but our server was just exceptional this visit and worth mentioning!
Came here for a Friday lunch. Parking was easy to find. It normally is hard to find parking here. We didnt pay because we were there less than an hour and 1st 90 minutes is free. I had the Seolleongtang and my mom had the yukgaejang. Both soups were delicious and the scorched rice after finishing the white rice was a nice treat. Put some of the broth from my soup and it gave a delightful crunchy soup. Bonchons were very good as well
We loved it here! Not sure about the bad reviews. This place had it all. From the sides. To the main dishes. To service, everyone was so friendly and attentive. Highly recommend coming here!
