Tofu House, San Diego CA

Good food but bad service. I understand that the place was getting busy at the time but I was charged more than expected. Also, was given a bad attitude from a worker due to a lack of clarification.

Worst customer service. I have not seen any waitor with such an attitude. I think when business become bit busy and make money, they get lot of bad attitude. I would be really happy if business goes down. Lady there is totally useless.

It is weird that I got full easily with the small pot soup. The chef soup could be better. It tasted lower than what I expected with so many seafoods

I echo other reviews that this restaurant really had below average service. And you would also need to pay attention to the charges put on your bills. I ordered boiled port tofu as well as meat party stone crispy rice. The boiled tofu was not bad but the meat party hot stone rice tasted terribly. The meat was almost disgusting. Will I return? No, but maybe I will try Tofu House at a different location next time (for hopefully a better service and food).

The cracked rice bowls are delicious but not really something you can take to go. Service isnt always the quickest but the food is good and service is pleasant.

Generally a rip off. Water costs 50 cents, and the serving size for the fried rice is miss proportioned. For $9, they give 6 pieces that are about an inch and a half in diameter.

Our first time at this location, we are longtime fans of the Convoy restaurant so it was interesting to see the differences. Consistent are the relatively few side dishes for a Korean restaurant, though MM brought out two sets for our party of four; snappy service; water is not free; and clean, comfortable setting. For a sit-down, they want you in and out pretty quick, it seems, but at least that means you get your food without having to wait.

In general, their spicy tofu soups and hot stone rice bowls are always good, but MM seems to only fill the bowls up about halfway. Also, we ordered the japchae to share and were incredibly disappointed by what we got for $14. A flavorless spoonful of sticky, overcooked noodles that were thinner and more unsubstantial than I've ever seen, some unrecognizable vegetables with no taste, and a few scraps of meat that looked like leftovers. The overall dish would not even have been enough for one person (and we are not big eaters!) and was priced triple what it should have been. Oh well.

We left quite satisfied, but feeling a bit ripped off. We will stick to Convoy from now on.

WORST SERVICE EVER! Never go here unless you want to be treated like you owe them something. We used to go here regularly. Today we were given an option to either sit by the exit where it’s cold or at a two-person table while it’s three of us. Maybe they thought that toddlers can be treated as half a human lol. Anyway, the host had no intention to accommodate us stating that all other tables are reserved (but they don’t even take reservations lol). And the restaurant is half-empty (see pics). Keep doing what you’re doing and it will be (deservedly) even emptier.

Tofu house has been a staple for me and my family for years but the pandemic and inflation have impacted the quality of the food in noticeable ways. First the menu has shrunk considerably. Bbq pork and chicken are no longer offered. The side dishes have shrunk in size and are more preserved looking which is silly to say since it's all preserved. Prices are up which would be fine if the meat quality didn't go down. The flavors are still there but the texture and meat quality are down. Perks like the self-serve punch is gone and now they charge for water. Extra eggs are no longer free. The place is in need of reinvention or might really lose out to the competition.

Done with this place. We just paid $50 for two hot teas and two bowls of the blandest tasting nonsense I've ever been served. Every time I come here, it's worse than the time before. Plus, now they charge for water and there's a one-egg limit on every order. What a joke.

This place is not at all what it used to be.

Good food, service is not great. They charge for water and only have bottled water for some reason.

We ordered tofu soup and hot pot with brown rice. 2 raw eggs were served on side with side dishes of radish kimchi, cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, and fish cakes. Tofu was silky soft and spicy, hot pot had smoky flavor. Giving one star less for menu, I would like to see ramen and tatboki in the menu. Ordered soju and beer and made samek. Delicious

The asian lady who always gets the order is rude but the food is great! Also the restaurant needs a little clean up. Convoy area is better.

Quality has gone down significantly while prices are much higher now. The broth was watery and salty. Service was so-so, waitress seemed really rushed.

My friend took me here for lunch because it was around the way from her place. I got the hot stone bulgogi, she got the hot stone tofu. We thought the food was delicious. The restaurant itself has a pretty chill vibe. I would definitely come back to this place and try other things in their menu
