Terrible service. This is arguably one of the worst tofu restaurants in Irvine. My husband and I arrived around 7:30 PM to order a tofu soup and a combination of short ribs with tofu soup. First of all, the restaurant was empty, so I can’t understand why it took 20 minutes for our food to arrive. When we inquired about fried fish, the owner informed us that they were out because we should have come earlier. What kind of restaurant runs out of fish at 7:30 PM? To make matters worse, after finishing our banchan, we asked for more, only to be told that we couldn’t have any because, again, we should have come earlier. About 30 minutes into our meal, my husband asked about the status of his short...
I used to go this place often for their tofu soup,seafood pancake and short rib soup. The Korean lady who worked there before the pandemic was nice to us and always take care of us whenever we came. However, it seems like they stop hiring servers anymore. The owner do the serving job by himself now. He always sitting there, being on his iPad. He doesn't really understand what customers requirement and he has no serving technique. Pls hire some real servers to do the serving job !
This place has gone way down with no server left so the owners happen to serve and they seem and act so upset all the time now! The owner guy was never that friendly but I used to like the owner lady but now both are bad! I try to understand that they are short handed due to COVID but that's not good enough excuse to run their business like this! I won't go back although I like some of their dishes but due to bad vibes now, it's not worth it.
Service was slow. Took almost 45 mins to get our food. Then after 30 mins the owner has the audacity to tell us to leave since there's a line at the door. One of us didn't finish eating yet. What a j never coming back. I highly suggest you go somewhere else. Quality is not what it once was, more expensive and they give you much less.

Gone!!!! Unbelievable after 30+ years.......... Another reason why ....homeowners in Irvine have to leave town for a decent Korean meal. They will be missed. If they open up at a different location please post.
Good service, good food. Tastes like home cooking. Easily overlooked in the plaza bc the bigger restaurants. If you're looking for classic Korean food and a hug from the inside this is your place
Business hours for Saturday was not 11am, it’s all depends on whenever the white hair elderly looking man finish playing with his iPad.. (Signs on the door is only an illusion ?
The soon tofu here is fantastic! We were seated right away, and the service was prompt. The soup was packed with flavor and came with rice.
