    Our last day in Texas after being here a year we decided to try this place out. Almost before closing. The owner opened the door for us and sat us down. We were surprised to see how much space there was and all empty. She brought water out immediately and helped us order. We got the Bimbap with bulgogi , La Calbi and cheese corn. She brought out sides like they do at AYCEKBBQ. It was soo flavorful and delicious. The price was worth every bite. The owner was so attentive serving our plates , refilling our waters and bringing more side dishes. Gave us free rice. I cannot even explain how meaningful she made our last night here. Best experience we've ever had at any restaurant, I felt like I was being catered by my mom. It was so delightful.

    Stopped by for lunch on a Thursday with my wife, and the place was completely empty the whole time we were there. As soon as we parked, a kind lady opened the door and welcomed us in. We were seated right away and had water on the table almost immediately while we looked over the menu. We ordered the rose rice cake, pork cutlet, and corn cheese. The side dishes came out first and every dish was solid. We finished everything, and she even brought out refills before our mains arrived. Since we were the only ones there, the service was super attentive. I asked for rice and she brought out both regular and sweet rice at no extra charge. The corn cheese came out first and it was tasty, though I wouldn't have minded a bit more cheese. The pork cutlet was next, paired with a flavorful sauce that worked really well. I only had a few bites since I was saving room for the rose rice cake and wanted to try it. It was cook perfectly crispy. The rose rice cake came out on a tabletop cooker, and she helped cook and serve it for us. It had a good variety of items and everything came together really well. Overall, a great experience. The restaurant has a lot of seating to cater to big groups. We'd definitely come back to try more items. It seems like a newer spot, so hoping more people check it out. It deserves the support.

    Food is fresh and good, the beef was super tender with great flavor, seafood pancake was very nice although it isn't too crispy, the owner is super sweet try this place next time when craving korean food!!

    We've been meaning to come out here for quite some time now. Walking in, the place is super clean and has that new building feel. The staff was super friendly and fast! The food is a lil pricier, even side dishes were around $12 as a baseline. But, everything was good. So there is a quality aspect to take into consideration. It can be tough to go between an all you can eat and a la carte. But for this area, it is good, with very little competition unless you're willing to drive out. The Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy stir fried pork bulgogi). This was really good, came out sizzling on a platter. Very well. Seasoned, very good flavor. Bul-Eo Hot Pot Bibimbap (squid and pork belly with sides on a sizzling platter) this was fantastic! Huge quantity, comes out as fresh as you can. Get it. Highly recommend. The squid was not chewy and had the perfect texture. Kimchi Fried Rice. I thought this dish was okay. My partner and I both thought that it was lacking on flavor, and could use a bit more. It tasted more like the oil than Kimchi. When packing up to go, we added some of the kimchi from our banchan into the box and when it reheated the flavor came out so much better. Also the hot tea is good, we enjoyed that too. Overall, we really enjoyed our meal. Would try a couple different things next time we come through. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    They've leveled up by adding jjajangmyeon and jjamppong! It's both so delicious. Please go try it now!

    It was so fortunate to have discovered this Korean Pearland restaurant. Our waitress was the sweetest person ever. She was very sincere and apologetic even though she hardly made us wait on a just night. For 2 people, we got the rose tteokbokki and the cheese pork katsu. Both dishes were unique, tasty and gigantic with plenty of leftovers to pack. Fun note, the stimulation of having all 4 TVs broadcast different kpop MVs was wildly hypnotic.

    Tofu Soup and Bulgogi
    Deidra B.

    This place is sooooooo good! The service is outstanding. Very sweet and kind people. But the food...is A1. They made great recommendations. Tofu soup was 10/10. Spicy, flavorful and full of goodness. The bulgogi was some of the best I've had, if not the best. Plenty of food. Great prices. I'll be back. Pearland, support this local gem.

    Tteokbokki, yellow grouper (after we took out some bones), banchan, doenjang jjigae, mushroom soondubu and mandu
    Michael M.

    Especially compared to the k place which was here last, this place is BOMB. Cozy little place with modern aesthetics, and while it seems to hold a bunch of folks the booths are private enough. Even though they're very short staffed atm, the gent manning the restaurant was very courteous and attentive. It helps they operate off the "call button for service" protocol but give the guy some help! Their spread of available dishes is pretty cool! We got the regular tteokbokki, seafood doenjang jjigae (soybean stew), and the mushroom soondubu with mandu (dumplings). The tteok was LOADED, but notably was the first time I've ever ordered it at a restaurant and cooked it At Table. Remember to submerge the tteok and cabbage or neither will be done enough before the ramen overcooks! Good flavors overall. Their banchan game is good and refillable vs the place that was here before - small shame it didn't come out before the rest of the food did, but take pity on the one man show on duty. He was great about keeping us topped off tho. The doenjang jjigae was very approachable/enjoyable for folks who don't doenjang, but not quite stinky enough for what I was expecting. Somewhat akin to a bulky af miso soup for big kids. Lots going on though, and very much appreciated the seafood/starch/veg mix. The soondubu was good, and nicely shiitake-heavy. The mandu were also nicely fried and a good value the way we saw it, but the yellow grouper that came with it was an Excellent touch! This place is definitely worth stopping by. Don't let this one get away, especially with the new Pearland Asian grocery center geared to set up nearby in the next year or so!

    The food was delicious! The service was great and very pleasant ambience. The Korean lady with the cat mask took care of us very well and was super sweet and attentive! She made our time here more enjoyable. And again, the food was so so good. We got the tofu soup 10/10 would recommend!

    Finally a Korean spot in Pearland. The Korean food that is cooked for you. This is not Korean bbq where you cook the meat yourself. They have bench seating and tables. There's a variety on their menu to choose from. I got the spicy chicken bibimbap and it was served in a huge hot stone bowl. The hot stone bowl makes the rice crispy. The meal also came with side dishes which is traditional for Korean meals. The spicy chicken was flavorful but I do not think it was spicy. You could definitely share the meal with the portions they give you. Service was fair since they just opened and don't have a lot of staff yet.

    This is run by a Korean couple and I've been seeing it online so I wanted to check it out. I think they're still working out the bumps overall. The waitress didn't know what menu items we were referring to unless we pointed at them. She also was a little clumsy and spilled water on our table. There was also confusion as my friend ordered one thing but another came out with the waitress saying that's what he ordered. The food was decent and portioned well for the price but I had to wait awhile for my cold noodles (~20-30 mins). Everyone got banchan and a fish. I don't think I'd come back for a bit. I'll wait it out to see them again when operations are a bit smoother.

    Pork bulgogi
    Michelle H.

    9/29/25 - After seeing former Tofu Town under new management, we gave it a try as we did not like the food previously. We walked in and loved the current layout and decor of the restaurant. Very clean and modern. They played KPop music in which my kids loved and enjoyed. For the food, we ordered the basic Korean dishes: beef bulgogi, pork bulgogi, beef n squid hot pot bibimbap and corn cheese. Verdict: DELICIOUS!!! Food was brought out piping hot. Portion of each meat dish we ordered were big and meant for 2 people. I absolutely loved the bibimbap! Full of flavors and the rice had crunchy texture which was awesome! We will definitely come back without a doubt to try the rest of the menu.

    Rice and banchan (banchan is most non-vegan).
    Euny S.

    Amazing authentic Korean food! For the vegan part anyway, I honestly feel like the food rivals places I've had in LA. The taste is VERY authentic Korean. I came here with some non-vegan family members and they called ahead to ask about vegan options. The restaurant owners were able to accommodate everything beautifully. I got the spicy veggie soondubu and the spicy bibim nangmyun. So delicious! I forgot to take a picture of the nangmyun. The lady who served us was so nice! This place has also changed management THREE times, so I hope this current management stays. Would definitely come here again! If you're vegan, give them a day heads up so they can prepare certain things separately.

    Killen's never disappoints…read more Their beef ribs were just short of amazing. Juicy, succulent, tender. For a giant piece of meat on the bone, they worked wonders. You can ask to see the piece of rib before they cut it for you and they will happily oblige (patrons behind you might not be so thrilled with that move, but they'll live). Sides were excellent as were the mashed potatoes with white gravy on the side, green beans that were just tender enough, but also a bit crunchy. Perfect. They were seasoned with pork, so if that's not your thing, you might want to skip it. We also ordered their shareable onion rings, easily enough for three people that were huge, hot, and crispy. Let's get this out of the way, some of their prices are a little up there, but if you're anything like me, and don't frequent BBQ places often, it's a rare but enjoyable treat. Sometimes you have to splurge and live a little. Also, they have their regular sauce on tables, but you now have to ask the cashier for their sublime coffee BBQ sauce. Don't be shy, ask. It's worth it. Oh, pro tip: If you want beef ribs, the 'plate' is actually cheaper and a better deal than 'by the pound', so save a little money and get two sides.

    I've been here several times, and honestly, about 98% of the time the food is good. That's why this…read morevisit was so disappointing. I arrived around 5:35 PM, about 25 minutes before closing, and ordered 1/2 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of ribs. The brisket was $17, and unfortunately it was extremely greasy and so overcooked that the meat had become mushy. It still had good flavor, but the texture was nothing like the brisket I've normally gotten here. Judging by what I received, it felt like I may have gotten what was left at the end of the day. The ribs were $12, and my "1/2 lb" consisted of two individual ribs. They tasted good, but they weren't nearly as tender as I've had here before. I paid about $29 just for the meat, and for that price I expected much better quality and portioning. I understand that I came close to closing time, but I still paid full price and should receive the same quality of food as any other customer. If the brisket is past its best or there isn't enough left to make a proper order, I'd rather be told that so I can order something else. I'm not writing the place off because they've been good to me many times before. But this particular order was definitely not up to their usual standard, and the pictures speak for themselves.

It almost smelled like the tables or surfaces had been wiped down with an old, wet towel. The atmosphere itself was okay, but the smell immediately made the restaurant feel unclean and really took away from the experience. I definitely think the space could use a deep cleaning and some freshening up. I will say that the service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything throughout my visit. I really had no complaints at all when it came to the service, and I definitely want to give them credit for that. Unfortunately, the food itself was disappointing. I ordered hand rolls, and I wasn't impressed with the quality of the fish. It tasted and felt much more on the cheaper/lower-quality end than what I would expect considering the prices. Looking through the menu, I also felt that a lot of the items were overpriced for the overall quality of the food. For the same price, there are plenty of other sushi restaurants where you can get noticeably better-quality fish and an overall better meal. I was honestly surprised by how many five-star reviews this place has because my experience didn't really match them. The service was definitely the highlight, but between the smell, cleanliness of the space, food quality, and pricing, I personally don't think the sushi is worth what they're charging.

This place continues to be my family's top hot pot spot, even after going to many locations in the greater Houston area simply due to the soup bases being so incredibly strong and the selection of ingredients always being top notch. The only things I have food-wise about this place are the following: 1. I think the meat selection is often inconsistent. Sometimes I will order the number 3 and 4 and it'll be really good, and other times it will be hard to eat. 2. I think that the noodle selection is missing like a handmade and hand pulled noodle. The closest thing currently is the lo mein, which I really like, but I'm still wanting more options. 3. Often, the sauce stations will have some empty bottles on the side, which is often inconvenient since I tend to add most if not all to my sauce. Other than that, the service this time was much better and much more on top of it. I will most definitely head back here again and again. Like I said in the beginning, WE ARE SO BACK!

I did try all of the meats and it was a lot of food but every cut was great! Nice open restaurant with plenty of seating and arranged so you feel as if you have your own space. The only reason I dropped it by a star was that there was only one person waiting on a large portion of the guests. She really tried hard and this is not a knock on her. But even though it was a slow night she struggled to keep up at times. I would have given it 4.5 if I had the choice.
