LA Tofu House is the restaurant I frequent the most in LA. I often tell people it's like my second home because I'm there all the time. The owner is the best. She's fun, kind, and happens to run the tofu soup shop with the best tasting tofu soup in ktown. (Surawon is also good, but I still go here much more frequently because it's more no frills, and of course, cus the owner is wonderful). Now, I don't know why I still try every new tofu soup spot that pops up.... But I do. There's a hipper looking spot that opened up last year near my apartment (if you keep your eyes out, you'll know what I'm talking about...), so I decided to try it out. Took one sip and instantly knew it was not as good. And what I mean by that is: depth of flavor, balance, deliciousness. Then, this last week, ANOTHER tofu soup spot popped up even CLOSER to my apartment. So, once again, I went to go support the new business. Wow. Instantaneously, my partner and I took one bite and said "hm."..... Got "spicy" and it was somewhat spicy, but was just...flat!!!!!! You really don't know what you got til you keep trying new shit against your better judgment... Never again. I went back to Young (that's the owner's name) and told her about the mediocre sundubu I'd had the other day. She told me she's been worried because business is tough. I'm just one customer, but I did tell her that hers is the best. Don't even me started with BCD. It's across the street from my place but I haven't gone in a year because LA Tofu House is just significantly better. Anyway, PLEASE COME HERE AND TRY FOR YOURSELF!!!

I LOVE THIS PLACE❤️❤️❤️ So much more flavor and so much more pleasant than BCD. I love the sides and meal combo. Absolute gem in LA. Parking is free and typically available. I always get the curry soon tofu soup and the bulgogi. Whenever I am starving and not in the mood to cook, I come here.

Food: very good bibimbap, and galbi. The side dishes (banchan) were excellent too. Truly 10/10 in the regard. Service: The strongest part of the meal, and probably the reason this review has 5 stars instead of 4. Jeonghyeon Jang was our server and she went above and beyond at all times. She was kind and not dismissive at all even though only my friend was Korean and spoke Korean fluently. She was attentive to whatever me or my friend asked of her and she always had a great attitude and disposition. Atmosphere: Nothing out of the ordinary. The restaurant has a very cool Korean vibe and I like how they have a Playlist of songs with the track displaying in one of the TVs in case you really like the song and wanna write it down for the drive back home. That was a nice extra touch, not gonna lie.
