At first, after I placed my order and they set my table with all sorts of small plates, I was overwhelmed. Even more so when they brought out the main dishes. However, I waived over the one who sat me and he happily explained everything to me and how they eat all the dishes in Korea. So helpful and it was a treat to have such a new to me dining experience. I ordered the BBQ beef ribs and kimchi soon tofu combination meal. I am unfamiliar with tofu so I cannot say how it compares. However it was delicious. Each bite was an explosion of new flavors and all of them pleasing. The BBQ beef ribs were seasoned perfectly and complimented everything. Aside from the overwhelming start - and that's more just a cultural thing - the whole meal was excellent and enjoyable. I recommend this restaurant to anyone.

You know this is the real deal when you walk in and all the people eating are Korean families! The food was delicious and they give a good assortment of banchan. The banchan was also delicious and they give you refills when you ask. Service was awesome...polite and friendly. Overall, it's a great place to go and worth the 30 minute drive!

I visited California Tofu Grill and ordered the combination lunch—chicken teriyaki and oyster tofu soup. Both dishes were freshly made and absolutely delicious! The servers were friendly and welcoming, even though it was pretty busy during Saturday lunchtime. Plus, the free parking is a huge bonus. Highly recommend this spot!

One of the best spots in OC for authentic Korean food! The tofu soup is amazing, but the cold noodles and short ribs are just as impressive. I came here with family visiting from Korea, and everyone was so happy with the flavors and service. Staff are friendly and make you feel welcome every time. Definitely a go-to place when you want to treat guests or enjoy a hearty Korean meal. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Went on a weekday afternoon for dinner (gets busy during weekends). Just like BCD, but I think it’s better in terms of location (no heavy traffic) and especially food. Great deals for lunch time (opening hours until 3pm). The combo meals are very filling. Employees are welcoming and attentive to your needs. Definitely recommend this place.
