    I visit here today after it moved to this bigger unit at the same shopping center. It changes its service into buffet style plus ShabuShabu. A lot of sushi and hot food! The price is quite fair to the quality and choices of food... Yes, very fair. But it's a bit high for student level consumers. My guess is owner might have some discounts for student to attract Rutgers students... Food here is absolutely delicious! 07/20/2019 Pretty unique feeling when I entered this Korean Restaurant. It's neat and simple. Appetizer dishes were light flavored compared with other Korean Restaurants I went to. But it tasted good. The food I had - 제육두부김치 + 순두부Pork Tofu Kimchi + Soondubu was delicious. The only thing I would like is the soup could be hotter(I mean temperature) when serve. The staffs are friendly and efficient. Pretty good dining experience..

    Please note that this isn't tofu house anymore. It is Korean food & sushi buffet and there is an option to add AYCE Shabu Shabu. The quality of sushi rolls are above a normal sushi buffet quality. I loved that they have Bibimbab section but I hope there was fried sunnyside up egg for the BBB. Their Korean foods are tasty and I loved bossam meat(braised pork belly) which melted in your mouth. If there were more korean vegetable dishes it would be perfect but I did not see much.

    Great place, great service, delicious food! I (a vegetarian) went there with my friend (non-vegetarian) on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't too crowded. The place is big, neat and clean, and the service is really good! Being a vegetarian I was kinda iffy about this place, but the host walked me through the food items to make sure I would have something to eat (the buffet was $26/person). I saw some veggie options, especially in sushi so I decided to eat there. The host even showed me how to eat shabu-shabu and reduced price for me since it was one of the few things I could it. They have this fancy electric heaters on each table too! (Picture attached) I really liked it. The host was great! They had many options for non-vegetarians, of course. They've ample parking space as well I would recommend this place!

    Hanok buffet was excellent, it is located previous location of makkoli sushi. Owner Eric fixed up the place much much better than it was before. He greets you at the door shows the Korean hospitality welcoming you with big smile and shaking your hand offering you to your table. Staff is very hospitable, they are very attentive you are feeling at in their house. Clean bright and happy place. We've met Kayla who is a waitress she was so friendly I felt we became a friend. They have almost everything from east. Chinese, Japanese, Korean dishes. Alot of parking spaces, plenty to eat, good deals available. I would highly recommend and will definitely go back. I am glad Eric and Kayla now I have new friends.

    This place is a buffet restaurant. The waiters are very courteous. It is clean but the decor could be better. The food tasted better than regular buffet place but the selection is not that big. I didn’t try the shabu shabu. The Korean seafood pancake is not having much seafood in there. I would say that the food selection does not justify the price.

    Lunch at Hanok Tofu House was good but could have been great. It's great that lunch was $17.99 per person .. ALL YOU CAN EAT! 😁 Bulgogi, Spicy Pork Belly, Bibimbob and Beef Tofu were great! Now to the not so great but has potential. The portions for Spicy Crab roll, Yellowtail roll, Dacing Shrimp, Salmon Lover, Black Dragon and Rock N Roll were enough. The rice was too wet and sushi fell apart. My biggest disappointment were the Spicy Crab roll, Yellowtail .. Crab was imitation crab not real crab. Yellowtail didn't looked fresh. Other than the Sushi it was really Good! Once they figure out the Sushi .. 5 stars.

    Spicy Baby Octopus and Pork Belly yummmm.......... We loved Maru but they shut down and Hanok Tofu House took it's place. Glad they did cuz this was our local spot and close to us too. We enjoyed ourselves and the food was on par with KTown restaurants in the city.

    Only 1 person work there as superwoman. Mrs Han is the receptionist, waiter, cleaner and cashier. She works very hard and a very nice person. Ony she can only so much. The food was not refill and you can eat so much too. I am full but not so impressed with the food. I was impressed with the lady who works there to do everything by herself. I hope she is happy with what she does.

    For a strong Korean fix, this restaurant really hit the spot! I have passed by this location quite a few times but had not had the chance to visit until recently. It has since then become my favorite Korean restaurant and I've come here 6+ times. When you enter you will notice that you have a choice of regular table seating or the special shoes off seating. We were asked if we wanted to sit in the lower or upper level. The upper level is where you take off your shoes and sit in tables that are set into the floor. We chose that option since it's kinda different and less common of an experience. We browsed through the menu and selected the beef kalbi combo which comes with a beef/seafood/tofu soup (we chose mild)) but couldn't decide on the second entree. The owner helped us to decide between a second barbecue entree or a donkatsu. The owner said that there was a secret to his donkatsu which is house made flakes for the breading. I was impressed by this fact so naturally I had to try it. The banchan arrived and was fresh and delicious. The offerings aren't as many as some other places but I will admit they were really fresh and tasty! I was happy they offered the Korean potato salad which I loved. We were offered more banchan refills when we ran low. The kalbi came sizzling hot and was absolutely delicious! The tofu soup was also probably my favorite tofu soup I've had in the Edison area! The mild was just the perfect amount of spice for me. The donkatsu was especially delicious and yes, the breading was actually lighter and not as caked on as some other places. It was actually quite a different experience from a regular donkatsu. I enjoyed the lighter crispiness a lot. It also came with a brown gravy sauce, potato/carrot salad, cabbage salad, and sliced apples. Also, to note, the portion size of the donkatsu was really big and still thick and not overly pounded/too thin. My favorite item at the restaurant is definitely the tofu soup ramen. It's simply the best thing ever but any of their entrees are superb. They've recently added sushi to their menu which I tried. The sushi lovers roll was really yummy and would make a great starter for any table! If you are on the fence about trying this place, have no fear you won't regret it! Just do it!
