The most consistent spot to get Korean food on the ave! Service is always fast (but not super friendly), as they're trying to get you in and out as fast as possible. Sometimes they forget to add toppings you ask for (like forgetting ramen). I think prices are fair (more so if you don't add toppings) Usually, I always get the dumpling soup with rice cake (number 14) - highly recommend it! Also recommend the seafood pancake if you're here with multiple people! Gamjatang was great (newly added item). The banchan are consistent and they do refill.

Came in for lunch/dinner because we were enticed by the signs for cold noodles plastered on the door. Simple Korean restaurant that also does counter service for to go orders. I ordered spicy cold noodles which is available during the warmer months only. The menu says April-October, but they were already serving it (as of March 24) which was nice. The spicy cold noodles was a nice combo of sweet and spicy. There were only 2 little baby pieces of beef so was a bit disappointed about that, but the overall dish was still good nonetheless. The spicy noodles also come with a bowl of icy soup on the side so you can dilute the spiciness as you wish. I appreciated that and the soup was really good too. The noodles were also nice and chewy which I love. The banchan provided was also good, their kimchi is on the spicier side, but oh so good. Braised Potatoes were okay, and I liked the green onion pancake bites that they gave as well. Service was a bit nonexistent. People came to take our order, give banchan, water, our dishes, and that was it. No one came by to maybe refill our banchan :c Overall, pretty good food. Its location in the u district makes it really convenient and I appreciate the fact that they provide counter service for separate to go orders but it'd be nice if their service was more attentive.

We walked in and got seated right away! Small restaurant but very cozy and I enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere! Great place to hang out and have good food! We ordered two of the Galbi LA Short Ribs and one order of the kimchi Pork belly stir fry. The ribs were tender and easy to tear off the bone, great portion. The pork belly was so good, a little saltier than I expected but I didnt mind it. Pork was juicy and had a nice bite to it! Our meal came with rice, and side dishes (potato, veggie pancake, bean sprouts, kimchi), I loved the potato side dish! Quality korean food, will definitely be back!

Probably one of the best Korean spots in the Seattle area for affordable and quality! This is located in the university district so is more catered to students, but it's definitely worth the visit over. We came at an odd eating time (4:30) on a Sunday and it was already quite full -- more than half the tables were occupied. I got the kimchi tofu soup which came with rice, an egg, and banchan. The banchan here is incredible! They have everything you can want in such good quality too. I loved the fish cakes, potato, and especially the kimchi. Good kimchi is always a sign of a good Korean restaurant :) They even have green onion pancake as a side option! My tofu soup was good but really spicy -- the portion size was good and filling, but I couldn't finish it all since there were so many side dishes and everything else. I also love how they have purple rice! The kimchi was plentiful and also the pork within. I also had a sip of my friend's doenjang jigae which was also amazing. Overall, fantastic spot for some comforting Korean food :)

Not sure why the average rating for Korean Tofu House is so low. The food won't blow you away, but it's certainly very high quality and has that "mom's cooking" feel to it. Here's what I enjoyed at Korean Tofu House: - The banchan they serve is some of the best I've had in the Seattle area. The kimchi is fresh and tasty, and the green onion pancake and braised potatoes (definitely more rare to see) were highlights for me. We were also able to get a generous refill of all these banchan. - The seafood and green onion pancake we ordered was very nice and crispy. It honestly reminded me of tempura at times. I also appreciate that they cut it into more bite-sized pieces which makes dipping it into the sauce much easier. - The korean army stew was actually spicy (much spicier than my gf's tofu soup for some reason even though we both got 4/5 spice) and had some nice big pieces of pork in it in addition to your standard spam and sausage. - I only had one or two sips of my gf's beef tofu soup, but those sips had so much flavor that my impression is that their tofu soup is better than Chodang Tofu's (my usual go-to for tofu soup). Maybe I'll get tofu soup next time. All in all, I'm a big fan of Korean Tofu House and can't wait to come back the next time I'm in the University district.
