Beverly Soon Tofu Restaurant

Came here on a Monday night putting ourselves on the Yelp waitlist before we came. The place is quite small but it seats a decent amount of people. Food: The tofu soup is quite average, but I really liked the mixed bean rice and the potato appetizer. Other than that, the rest of the dining experience was alright but it wasn’t extremely special. I got the mushroom and beef tofu soup. The mushroom was a little bit overwhelming in taste. Service: Food came in around 20 minutes and appetizers in 5. The great part is that the appetizers are unlimited! Ambiance: Super packed and casual place. By any means, this wasn’t a bad place to go, but wasn’t super great by my tofu soup standards.

Very tasty & flavorful tofu soup place. Love the Galbi here, so juicy & delicious. So much better than Korean tofu soup restaurants in Bay Area. Valet parking is affordable $2 for lunch unlimited $3 for dinner. Wait time is about 30 - 45 minutes during peak hours due to small places & only 3 50 ish waitresses running around. Only down side is customer service. Missed & forgot the order. Overall, such great soon tofu place. Recent price too.

Overall, an okay place with casual vibes and decent food. Their tofu soup tasted way too salty for me, but the appetizers were amazing, especially the bean sprouts and cucumber. Service was just okay, the waitresses weren’t very attentive. We definitely didn’t get the unlimited appetizers that other comments mentioned; we were served one round of appetizers and that was it.

Beverly Soon Tofu is rather cozy with its rustic, petrified wood decor. The benches make it a tight squeeze to get in and out of your seat. All of that adds to the Korean comfort food vibe. They started us off with some barley tea. Then came the tofu salad, circles of tofu sitting in some light soy sauce (?), spring onions, and topped with shredded seaweed, which is quite refreshing on a hot day. The banchan consisted of cucumbers, bean sprouts, potatoes, kimchi, radish. $13 Chicken - grilled, spicy, marinated chicken breast: Strips of marinated chicken breast sat on top of some grilled onions in a sizzling plate. I was pleasantly surprised that the chicken breast was not dry and the spicy flavor was very good. $17 Stone Plate Bibimbap - vegetables, meat, fried egg over rice on a sizzling stone pot: Sizzling hot vegetables and egg over rice mixed table-side. The charred flavor is very nice. $24 Soon Tofu Soup & Squid combination: They really pack each bowl full of tofu, and the soup holds nice, big chunks of pork, as opposed to the bits of minced meat you typically get. $14 BBQ Squid grilled, spicy, marinated whole squid: Very good squid. Each piece was very meaty, and quite chewy, but not too tough. It actually has a lot of the same flavors as the spicy grilled chicken. I'd say share a few dishes and the Soon Tofu combination meals are quite good. However you don't really need to considering the combination prices are not much lower than paying for each dish separately. Though I am not sure if the soon tofu is better than any other soon tofu I have tried, I will say that the dishes are very good together.

Went there for the first time and, holy smokes, we were impressed. We usually go to AYCE when we crave for kbbq. This time we didn't feel like cooking and didn't want to smell like food after so we gave this place a try. We ordered two soon tofu bulgogi combos and one large (5pcs) galbi. We think the "small" portion of galbi (2pcs) will be enough next time. We are not usually picky with our meat so cheap AYCE usually satisfies us. The high quality meat here is making us second guessing our past life choices. Needless to say, I think AYCE days are gone. This place has topped it all. The soon tofu is delicious and fulfilling. We will be back for sure! Updated: We went back second time for more Galbi. The quality is consistent. it takes about 30mins for us to get there but it's well worth the drive. This place is our new go-to!

Beverly Soon Tofu was everything it's built up to be. Authentic great tasting Korean food. The kimchi soup with pork was great, it's came out boiling hot cooking my raw egg within moments. The BBQ pork was tasteful and sweet. The service was friendly and quick. The price is great! This place was hosted on Anthony Bourdain show Parts Unknown - you can't go wrong. Must go!
