A casual authentic Korean restaurant where you are sure to find a comforting meal, great service in a homely setting. Stopped in for an early dinner and got the pork loin in spicy pepper sauce served with steaming sticky rice. Generous serving of thinly sliced pork with onions in spicy sauce cane out sizzling its enough for two to be honest and what I appreciated here is the fact they serve the pork on the bed of onions as my daughter doesn't like chunks of onions. Their complimentary starters include hot tea, edamame, kimchee, fish cakes and pickled cabbage without the chili. A truly delicious experience!
This was our third visiting Mr Tofu House and we always stopped by around lunchtime yet we haven't taken advantage of their lunch specials (12:30-2:00 PM) that have lower-priced items like bibimbap or japchae. We always opt for the $13 tofu soup. The place is small but clean and comfortable, has lots of parking because is situated in a mini plaza, and great service by what I assume is the owner (she's very attentive) my favorite part about the tofu soup on a cold day is the side dishes the soup always comes with a small bowl of white rice and smaller bowls with refillable kimchi, cabbage in a bit of white vinegar, marinated cucumber slices and edamame. Good to know there's a delicious Korean restaurant in the Wayne area.
Enjoyed all the dishes. Spice level hot is hot. Service was great. Cute place. We really enjoyed this place.
9/1/24 This cute little place has a welcoming atmosphere and polite service. The banchan were delicious, offering a variety of flavors. The Seafood Pancake was a bit lacking in seafood, but it was crispy on the outside. The mushroom tofu stew was flavorful and satisfying. The short rib was exceptionally tender. It's usually a tough cut, but this one was cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned. The japchae was a little too sticky for my preference, but overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.
Delicious lunch and friendly service. Condiments that came out before entree were good. I ordered a special pork bone soup. I picked the meat off the bone and it was moist and delicious. Highly recommend.
This was my first visit to Mr Tofu House. It was a Tuesday at 11:30am the day after Memorial Day. I've previously tried to eat here before on a day after a holiday but it was closed. I was told to sit wherever I'd like. I ordered the Japchae Deop Bab lunch special with pork. I enjoyed my meal while watching and listening to K-Pop music videos. The lady working was polite and smiling. The food was delicious and perhaps larger than a normal lunch serving.
I have had a lot of soondooboo in my life, because it's one of my favorite Korean dishes and this was THE BEST one I've had in a very long time. It hit the spot. It came with a variety of side dishes and they were all very good. We wanted to ask for thirds, but we felt bad haha. They have tteokbokki, kimchi, pickled cabbage, and etc. I was so surprised they gave us tteokbokki and even more surprised that it was so good. The soondooboo was relatively cheap compared to other places (we got the seafood soondooboo). We were able to choose from an array of different spice levels and I got "hot" whereas my friend got "mild." My friend said it was super good and I loved mine as well. It was so flavorful and it wasn't the type of spice where it was unpleasant + the spice didn't linger. I am very good with spice, but hot was perfect. The server was super sweet even though we came in a little late. Although the closing time is 9, the kitchen closes at 8 and takes final orders then! The vibes of this place is great. Kpop music is turned on but not loud enough that you can't have a conversation. I would come to Jersey just to have this soondooboo again! I highly recommend to try this place if you haven't already.
Pretty solid spot. I'm convinced Korean food is best when you have it in person vs. takeout. For complementary ban chan- you're able to make a second free order which we did for a couple ones we really loved. All of them were quite fresh! I ordered mushroom tofu stew/soondubu-kinda felt like I had to order tofu stew here given its name. They ask for your spice level and I felt like they took the cues well for mild spiciness. I will say that the amount of soup/broth was not as much as I would have liked? I can't say I've ever felt that way at other Korean restaurants, so that's the only qualm I have. Otherwise, a very enjoyable meal! Tables are spaced out apart with dividers so you have your own privates space to enjoy your meal with quietly with whomever you go with.
