๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ So delicious, our favorite local korean spot. We love the tteokbokki (not on the menu, but it's listed on a paper sheet near the till). Generous portions and banchan is always good. There's one or two outdoor seats, so we get to bring the pupper too. People often mention tofu, good, delicious, soup, Korean, service, Tofu, banchan, restaurant, beef,

    I seldom give a restaurant a 5-star review, but this one is worth it. It's so authentic and delicious. The yellow croaks have seeds, the beef rib is so tasty. The best one is the beef intestine tofu, I love it so much. The fried pork chop (tonkatsu) is not a whole pork chop but a combined one, I won't recommend it but my daughter loves it.

    Here has tasty food ๐Ÿ‘but really horrible services ! ๐Ÿ‘ŽWhat a poker face the waitress has. They got limited number of waitress which resulted in really long waiting time for order, also extremely long time waiting the food. This place could ruin your whole day, my suggestion is order to go!!!

    The best Tofu Soup in town! Cannot go wrong when you go to this place! Service, Quality of Food, and Amount of Food you get is absolutely the best! Delicious sides, friendly service and main course is well presented and tastes great! I love going to this spot whenever I am in Chino Hills area. Enjoy multiple tofu soup choices and authentic hotot rice served with the best KBBQ Ribs or BBQ Beef or Hot and Spicy Chicken! Lots more choices to choose from! Service 4.8/5 Taste 5/5 Quality 5/5 Overall 4.9/5

    We came here for lunch, my first time in this restaurant, however, this is my friends favorite and he invited me here. Choices are Combination, Tofu Menu, and Special Menu. This is a more of order for yourself and not the sharing type. Serving size is adequate. The B.B.Q Beef Rib is very good. I also ordered the Seafood Tofu Soup and it is also very good. Definitely, I will be coming back to try the other food choices.

    For my visit on 7.13.19 the food was surprisingly disappointing today. The galbi ribs tasted really bad today. The tofu soup was bland. And the service was poor.

  • 5/5 Eric C. 1 year ago on Google
    my family's favorite B-B-Q ribs and tofu restaurant, the refillable side dishes are delicious, too bad they don't serve the salads.....

  • 5/5 Robin J. 1 year ago on Google
    Legit Korean spot. Lots of foreigners mixed w Koreans. Real banchan and super busy. Had the Galbi, galbitang, and tofu soup. All were legit Korean and my family approve. Better food than DB location but our server wasn't too excited to work there. But also they were busy as heck. Definitely will come back. Legit K tofu house in Chino Hills.

    Came here last night and we realized that we needed to write down our names on the list because there was a wait. Once we went in to write down a list, we noticed that there were about 5-6 empty tables that had not been cleaned. If they cleaned the tables as soon as the customers leave, they wouldn't have so many unattended dirty tables and customers waiting in line to be seated. Overall the service is slow. Moving on to the food. We ordered the beef octopus soondubu and the short rib. Everything was very delicious. The meat was cooked perfectly with the right amount of spice. The side dishes are very fresh and delicious. My favorite one is the potato pancake.

  • 5/5 Trancy Z. 1 year ago on Google
    They give a gracious amount of banchan and the soup is yummy! Great service too. Minor downside is their banchan is on the more salty side.

  • 5/5 Carey Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was delicious. Katsu portion is huge and crunchy and comes with a dipping sauce. Beef short ribs was stacked pretty high on the dish. Very tasty with the marinade and onions complemented the dish. Very tender. Hot stone bibimbap was ok. Couldn't dentify some of the stuff I ate on this dish.Dumpling tofu soup was tasty. I think it needed more soup. They give you four condiments: picked cucumber,kimchee,seaweed salad and bean sprout salad. Overall this is a good place to eat. Big portions and food is pretty good.

  • 5/5 Peng T. 1 year ago on Google
    Always the best Korean-style tofu in hotpot in the region. Love those small plates dishes especially sprouts and kimchi.

  • 5/5 Nick Wong (. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of Korean to come here for their lunch, and service has been more friendly after 1st time of visit. Prices is reasonable because food is good amount of portions and freshly made as well. For the food, I recommend Pork Cutlet is one of the best food here because it is freshly made and juicy in the meat Also, Beef Intestine Tofu Soup is also delicious as well because intense is easy to chew and tofu is good and smooth as typical Korean Tofu restaurant. Overall, I mostly would come back to have Tofu when I am craving any Korean food.

  • 5/5 J Art S. 1 year ago on Google
    Never disappoints us! Been coming here for over 12 years! Everything is delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹ so do not be scared to try it! It's going to be bomb! Promise! Whatever you pick! Waiting can sometimes be difficult. However, once you've mastered the crowd times, you'll know next time when it is best to arrive. Busy times, sometimes hard to catch a waitress bc they are so fast between tables trying to serve the place. It's clean. Tables kept tidy. Bathrooms, too. Can get pricey if you order multiple items. All great for sharing.

  • 5/5 Henny S. 8 months ago on Google
    This place is always busy most of the time but itโ€™s spacious so you wonโ€™t feel eating in a overcrowded place. The food was delicious and came with huge portion. My favorite is the bbq beef ribs combo with beef tofu soup. Their banchan is the best I ever had so far, itโ€™s fresh and pack with lots of flavor. Definitely my favorite tofu house in town.

  • 5/5 James Y. 7 months ago on Google
    Best tofu soup restaurant in So Cal in my opinion. For $17, you get soup and rice in stone bowls, and their selection of 4 banchan plates are all really good. Itโ€™s busy with people often waiting outside until tables open up. The wait is the only drawback..

  • 5/5 Tracey D. 3 years ago on Google
    Korean food and the feeling here is very good. visited near twelve, it was not full. prices are decent for the quality.

  • 5/5 Patrick C. 4 years ago on Google
    I had been to this restaurant many times. The food is always excellent but the service was not that great. But I notice recently their service has been improved a lot. The waitress is very attentive now. They make sure your water/tea is filled up all the time and ask you if you need more small dishes (appetizers). I am very satisfied with this place.

  • 4/5 Scott 4 years ago on Google
    We came here for Korean BBQ. It's not the BBQ you would expect. It's a traditional cook and very good. The restaurant is very busy but didn't stop the service or fresh cooked food getting out of the kitchen. We enjoyed what we ordered and be back.

  • 4/5 Adeline C. 4 years ago on Google
    There are many Korean restaurants in the area, and Young Dong is one of my favorites specifically for Soon Tofu. The soup broth is always filled with flavor while remaining a pretty clear soup. There is a good amount of tofu and toppings in each dish, making the dish worth your money. The banchan (side dishes) they serve here are delicious, and as all Korean restaurants do, the servers are happy to provide you with refills when asked! I've tried the Bibimbap, and am not a huge fan. The rice was not very tasty and the toppings were not very well seasoned either. Hence, I would steer away from their rice and noodle dishes and towards their Soon Tofu.

  • 5/5 Hamala M. 5 years ago on Google
    Initially tried the Young Dong in Diamond Bar, I'd say this one is just as good. Quality of food and service is solid. Will keep bring friends and family to this location.

  • 4/5 Jenny M. 5 years ago on Google
    Wish I could give half ratings, would def give a 4.5. This place is really good and fast! We ordered BBQ rib (the best thing we ordered, so flavorful!), bbq beef (great flavor and have the best onions) and spicy pork (we liked this the least. We didnโ€™t feel like it was as flavorful), and Spicy tofu seafood soup (extremely good). The sides were really good, the kimchi and spicy cucumbers had a great flavor. Would def go back.

  • 5/5 Andrew 3 years ago on Google
    Love coming here for any of the tofu soups. Right now my favorite is the intestine tofu soup. Delicious! Easy to get to and fast pick up!

    It was very busy when we came in, we sat at the bar and had a few drinks while we waited. The drinks were good, the clam chowder was amazing and the view is beautiful. You can't go wrong with the place!

    (Translated by Google) Tastes more seasoning than other soft tofu (BCD, per second) Bulgogi is also sweet. Spicy rice is very spicy Crab is very spicy in Korea. Dolsot rice should be eaten by yourself like Korea.
