Food here is above average, but not the best we've had. They supposedly pride themselves on in-house tofu, and that does come through across the different dishes. The soondubu itself was just okay. The mushroom was a bit watery, and my fish roe soondubu didn't taste all that special. The yam potato jeon was refreshing (texture and taste both reminding me of a McDonald's hash brown). Being the picky eater, my rice came out a bit undercooked; the crispy crust never formed in my portion. The sleek modern design did elevate the experience and makes it a great date spot, and the ice cream at the end was a nice touch.
We came here for dinner during a weekend and it was packed! Definitely make a reservation. The interior is really nice and service was attentive. We enjoyed our food - there was plenty of banchan which they replenished throughout dinner. I had the kimchi stew and marinated prime rib combo which was delicious and filling. We liked the nutritious rice as well. They give you a complimentary dubu soft serve for dessert which was really good!
I really enjoy soondubu, even on a hot summer day. Savory tofu soup with a bunch of banchan is my kind of heaven. Pair that with the fact that Dubuhaus, which makes their own tofu, serves a complimentary soft serve made with tofu at the end of the meal is why I found myself booking it to this space with a friend on a recent weeknight. If you're familiar with the classic BCD Tofu House, this is basically a more upscale version of that restaurant. The digs are quite elevated, but the focus on tofu stew remains the same. I enjoyed the banchan, some kimchi mandu, and my cod roe soondubu, but I felt that BCD's banchan is much more robust and you can get a whole meal there at a fraction of the price. The tofu soft serve at the end is a nice touch though. Our server was nice, the food came out quickly, and we didn't feel rushed out, but I think there's much better value to be had elsewhere.
I made a reservation in advance for restuarant week but only to arrive and find out the restuarant week menu was only for weekdays. I don't remember seeing that when I booked the reservation but when I pulled up the restaurant week menu, it showed the weekday only. I still believe that was added later on but I could be wrong. The couple that got seated next to us seemed to have the same issue as it looked like they were also looking at the restaurant week menu before looking it up online to find out it's only weekdays. Half of the menu was for weekdays. We ended up ordering the prime short rib from the signature menu (comes with rice) and a seafood soondubu (also comes with rice). There was a complimentary soy milk but it was just okay, nothing too special. I had better soy milk but also it was such a small amount. Like less than the amount of sauce you would get, it's barely enough to taste it. They served us a variety of banchan which was nice but nothing felt too impressive. The prime short ribs were so tender and delicious, we opted for not spicy but I'm sure spicy would've been fine. The seafood soondubu was nice except the amount of seafood was so disappointing - there one was one shrimp. They couldn't have tossed in another shrimp? But I do think the food tasted pretty decent. The tofu ice cream at the end was a highlight and quite delicious. I'm not sure if the whole soft serve was made from tofu or it was vanilla with kinako powder. The inside felt quite fancy. I like the interior design and the way it was set up. You walk in to a reception area that was separate from the dining area. The bathrooms were also very nice. They were lined up individual stalls and felt very clean and aesthetic. Only thing was the music level was a little bit too loud for my comfort. Enough where you can still have a conversation but for such a nice restaurant, it felt a little too loud. Overall: I'll definitely come back for a weekday lunch.
Came for restaurant week after hearing great things but didn't really live up to the hype. You get $30 dinner combo, which is usually $35 lol. Great ambiance inside and good seating for a mid to larger group. Complimentary soy milk was interesting, very on par with the dubu theme. I ordered the short rib soybean soup combo, the short rib was good but soybean soup was very bland. Went home with some leftover soup but even reheated it was still not very flavorful. Choice of matcha or soybean ice cream at the end, would definitely recommend the matcha after trying both. Soybean is like a misugaru/injeolmi vibe but the matcha is super smooth.
Exquisite dining at fair price Ordered from the restaurant week menu. Portion sizes are great, definitely enough to be full. Went with the marinated short ribs, soy beef soon dubu, and the dubu ice cream. The complimentary side dishes were really stand out. It sounds like a broken record, but if the kimchi is good, the place is good. A lot of care and thought was put into each side dish and it shows in the taste. The roasted seaweed was sweet and savory. Many compliments for the side dishes. The marinated short ribs were really flavorful and had a good cook on them. The soon dubu had a complex bean subtlety while letting the beef shine through. Everything was served nice and hot, and the clay pot keeps the temperature as you eat. Ended the meal with the dubu ice cream. It's so light and delicate, I think it was the injeolmi flavor, like a sweet wheat. Service was professional and quick. We were greeted at the front and led into the dining area. Waiters and waitresses were always around if anything was needed. They answered any questions we had and also made sure we were attended to our requests. Interior was really nice. Warm and well lit dining area. Spacing is not too bad between tables, and there are a decent number of tables. A larger space than I thought. Plenty of restrooms available as well. Overall great dining experience. Can't wait to come back and try other items from the menu
Tried Dubuhaus for the first time during restaurant week and they have a great $30 dinner deal that comes with banchans, rice, choice of protein, stew, and soft serve. The service was amazing and this restaurant is spacious and extremely clean. The banchans were really unique and fun to try. The kimchi stew was pipping hot and so hearty. The beef was tender and paired well with the banchans. Loved the soft serve as welll! (tofu and matcha options)
Service and ambiance 5/5 Food 3/5 Dubu Haus offers some really interesting takes on very traditional homecooked Korean dishes. Tofu dishes were pretty bland but acceptable. Galbi-jjim was good Japchae was way too starchy (maybe just a one time thing) Tried their Kimchi & Pork Kongbiji- which is a very soy pulpy stew. I feel like this is one of those things you either like cause you grew up eating it, or if you have no teeth lol. Anyways, I get what its supposed to be but this dish is a hard pass for me. I don't think I'd return for the food any time soon but there is potential IMO. 4 stars overall for a cool place with great service / friendly staff.
Price - $90 including tax and tip Food - 5/5 Service - 5/5 Ambiance - 5/5 I got a chance to try out the viral dubu haus and it did not disappoint me! I ordered their Marinated prime short rib, soondubu, Spicy Kimchi Jeon(3pc), and Bossam and might I say they were all scrumptious! I love all the dishes were all super unique in their own ways, with the perfect amount of spice and their own unique flavors! I honestly couldn't choose a favorite dish because they were all that good! Also, the dishes were super affordable and the portion size was actually insane! They also gave free soy milk shots at the beginning and tofu with soy ice cream at the end of the meal so that was super sweet of them to offer and provide! The service and ambiance were undeniably amazing. The staff were super nice and welcoming, I couldn't have had a better time here. I will definitely be going back here in the future!
my waiter keep taking unfinished plates from me without asking if I was done and that ruined my experience It's cool that they serve soy milk before the banchan (side dishes). They also offer tofu flavored (think soy milk/kinako powder) after the meal. I think those were the highlights of my experience. The place is well kept and pretty busy on a weekday night.
Been a long time ktown attendee living in NYC. From chicken pubs, fruit soju bars, and delicacy eats at the Gopchang Story across the street. Dubu Haus is unique where it's not just another Korean restaurant offering standard eats - but a more elevated and elegant version of their dishes. First starting with the palette cleanser, their house made soy milk shot drink. Refreshing and you can just taste their freshly squeezed soybeans into this beverage. Was already intrigued and it peaked my interest of other unique dishes to come. Garden fried dubu jeon- each tofu was uniformly cut at the same portion but was different colors. Orange, pink and green fried tofu surprised me as I've always been used to regular yellow fried tofu. Kale, beet and pumpkin tofu was interesting and I enjoyed flavors these brought together with the tofu. 12 hour braised beef ribs - the name speaks for itself and it was rich, brimming with gravy, steaming hot and rips off the bones so easily and you can enjoy that lingering sweetness that's part of the braising process extracted from the bone marrow. Came in a stone pot to retain that hearty taste and this was so much fun to eat. Dessert was the injeolmi soft serve ice cream. Taking a rice cake powdered dessert and transforming it into ice cream got my curiosity and if it could retain that taste. Aside from a doughy rice cake, the taste did convert into an ice cream. It wasn't a vanilla soft serve powdered with the injeolmi sprinkling but the soft serve had a taste of the rice cake too blended in. Carefully the taste inspection on this was thorough and it was accomplished well by the restaurant. A very popular place and higher end Korean style cuisine. Service was prompt and attentive down to making sure we were aware of our reserved time. Strictly we followed our reservation time because the restaurant had more guests coming in, even for a Monday. Overall a good experience, but don't be surprised if your meal is set on a schedule for other customers to enjoy the Dubu Haus experience after you.
Honestly, I was disappointed with my experience at DubuHaus. The food was just okay and didn't really stand out. The portions of the side dishes were quite small, which was especially disappointing for a Korean restaurant. Overall, I expected more and unfortunately wouldn't say it was worth the price.
DubuHaus is such a gem in NYC! I loved the mandu, and the tofu dishes tasted super fresh and comforting -- honestly very authentic, almost like what I had in Seoul. The soondubu had great flavor, the rice was delicious, and everything felt warm and homemade. I also liked this much more than BCD Tofu -- the taste here feels fresher and more refined. But the best surprise? The free tofu ice cream at the end! So unique, light, and delicious. Definitely coming back whenever I'm craving authentic Korean tofu dishes in NYC.

We've been to DubuHaus twice now, and both visits were great! The first time, we definitely ordered way too much because everything looked so good. The food was delicious, but we were so full that we couldn't even finish everything. On our second visit, we decided to order a little more wisely. We got the Grilled Mackerel Combo with Kimchi Soup and Nutritious Rice and the Marinated Prime Short Rib Combo. Both were delicious and very satisfying. I especially love that the combos come with rice and soup, so you really get a complete meal. On our first visit, we ordered the Mushroom Bibimbap, Bossam, Cod Fish Jeon, Perilla Seed Mushroom Soondubu, Spicy Braised Short Rib, and the Grilled Mackerel Combo. Everything was so good, which is exactly why we came back! They also give you a little tofu ice cream and a shot at the beginning of your meal, which is such a nice touch. The staff are very attentive, the restaurant is clean, and I think the prices are fair for the quality and portions. Our first visit has fewer photos because, honestly, we were too busy eating! Definitely a place we'll come back to. We really enjoyed both visits and would definitely recommend DubuHaus if you're craving good Korean food. read more

One of my favorite comfort meals is their soondubu, rice, and spicy pork. The food never disappoints and the quality is amazing. Your meal comes with complementary bonchon and a homemade soy milk shot. Service is quick and easy. This place is perfect for date nights or even larger groups. Highly recommend to make a reservation in advance as they do get packed. read more

Came here on a Saturday evening with a group, and we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, ambiance, and food! The staff starts all of us off with complimentary house made soy milk & banchan. I got the marinated short rib combo, which came with boneless short ribs, a choice of kimchi/beef tofu stew, and rice. Easily shareable with 2 people! At the end, we were served with complimentary injeolmi soft serve. We thought it was a nice touch, completing a wonderful experience. It was a great showcase of their homemade tofu throughout all of their dishes and small bites. read more
Sister restaurant to the amazing Howoo (a KBBQ spot), Dubu Haus offers some amazing Korean tofu dishes. While they do highlight their in-house made tofu by incorporating many soy ingredients throughout your dining experience (ie. their complimentary soy milk at the beginning and soy powder soft serve at the end), they also have some other amazing Korean dishes to offer. We got their soondubu, braised tofu, yukhoe bibimbap, meat jeon, and bossam. Everything was phenomenal. We were worried that portions were going to be small but they were actually huge. We ended up not being able to finish most of them. Side dishes were also great and they were very generous to keep giving us more. Definitely an amazing dining experience with a great ambiance, friendly service, and phenomenal food. read more
The food is really good, however, the service is not. Additionally, if you are vegetarian, avoid this restaurant. To bring up the biggest issue, we had a vegetarian in our party who ordered the veggie soondubu (stew). It even has the symbol next to it on the menu stating that it is vegetarian. Two hour horror, halfway through the meal, the vegetarian found an entire squid in their pot. This is absolutely abhorrent, and the restaurant has not wanted to provide a refund for such a major mistake. The other really bad part is that weight staff expect you to clean up as you are eating. They had bus boys coming to our table and making us pass them all of our empty plates throughout our meal. Even as we were trying to enjoy ice cream at the end, they came by and just stared at us and kept telling us to hand them plates. I understand this restaurant wants to have a lot of turnover, but this makes the experience sour. On a positive note, the brisket stew is really tasty, I appreciate all the banchan they also give (kimchi is excellent but made with shrimp paste so be aware). I also really enjoy the ice cream that they give at the end. Overall, the food is really good, but as stated in the beginning, don't expect good service, and don't expect them to truly have vegetarian options or make up for errors. read more
Loved this place! Banchan was great, and favorite dish was the braised short rib as well as the ice cream you get at the end. We also tried the meat patty (also a fav), purple rice, beef soondubu. The place is well decorated and service is also great. Would come again to try more! read more
Got a reservation for dinner a few days before, the selection was limited so we went at 5:30 as it was the only slot available for 4 a couple days before. The restaurant is has an upscale feel to it and the staff are very friendly. We got the acorn mook, spicy pork and dubu, and seafood hotpot. I didn't really like the acorn mook as it didn't have much flavor, but the other two dishes were fantastic! To finish your meal, they give a free soy powder soft serve which was so good! read more
Wow wow wow. All i can say is get the prime rib soondubu bc its not like any others in ktown. My friend and i kept raving about it and we want seconds already not even after finishing it!! The cold noodles was almost like peanut butter noodles but on a way better level. The sauce was very savory! Perfect for super hot summer day. Felt really clean to eat that and the salad! The rice with the soondubu had a charr in it. Classy place for dinner! We didnt get the free soymilk sadly but the free ice cream at the end of meal was good lil treat after an already delicious meal! Service was quick for the food but i didnt feel like we were checked in often enough but thats fine. We definitely coming back for the soondubu and to try the other food!! read more

Food 4/5 Service 4.5/5 Value 3/5 Dubu Haus has a wonderful modern and elevated feel. The banchan spread was great, everything from the mushrooms to the spinach and bean sprouts was delicious and well-prepared. Bossam (4.5/5): Absolutely delicious. I loved that the pork belly was sliced very thin, making it melt in your mouth tender. Galbijjim (4.5/5): The flavors were delish and the meat was incredibly tender. The only downside is that the portion felt a bit small for $52 Short Rib Soondubu (4/5): I loved the concept of adding short rib, and the tofu itself was incredibly fresh and silky. However, the meat was cut a bit too thick, the broth was slightly bland, and I wish there was a bit more broth in the bowl Cod Jeon (3.75/5): I didn't realize this was just cod pan-fried with an egg. It felt a bit underwhelming and leaned slightly on the saltier side Overall, a solid spot with great atmosphere and high quality dishes read more

Interior decor is really cute and it's spacious in here. It's also easy to make a res ahead of time so I highly recommend that as there can be a wait if you just show spontaneously. Onto the food, I would say everything is good but nothing was particular standout for me. Maybe we ordered the wrong things but we got the: Seafood soondubu: generous amount of seafood and solid tofu but for me Cho dang gol is far superior Shortrib patties: great flavor, tender, no notes Perilla oil buckwheat noodle with bossam: very refreshing and love the herby perilla leaf flavor. Would probably slap more if it wasn't cold and rainy out. The buckwheat noodles are gluten free! Yukhoe bimbimbap: steak tartare but in bimbimbap form. It was ok, found the sauce to be lacking compared to other bimbimbap I had but beef quality was definitely good read more

Been wanting to come for a long time for their soondubu after knowing that they make their tofu inhouse. Ended up coming here on the first day of Restaurant Week without planning for it. Shifted gears to order from the restaurant week menu since a $30 dinner is quite a good deal. It's basically the same as their all day special combo but a few dollars cheaper. Whether $30 or regular price, I think the offerings are a good deal. I felt full coming out. I got the marinated prime short rib, fermented soy beef soondubu, nutritious kettle pot rice, and dubu soft serve. I'm impressed by the size and quality of the marinated prime short rib. I would've expected a much smaller portion. Their meat is good quality too despite it being heavily marinated and came out cooked. The fermented soy beef soondubu was too salty and I didn't like the particular soy bean paste they used. I mostly just ate the ingredients without finishing the soup. This was a bigger let down given how I was looking forward to trying their soondubu. Maybe it would be better with a different soup base or just get something else with tofu. I paid extra to get the nutritious kettle pot rice. I like how they add mushrooms, quinoa, and ginkgo to it. It makes the rice tasty enough to eat on its own, though I genuinely needed it to balance the strong flavors of the short rib and soondubu. All their rice have a crusty bottom. It's not necessarily crunchy but wasn't too stiff and tough that I couldn't scoop out to eat. The char flavor is good but I'd prefer fluffiness throughout. I chose dubu for the soft serve since they're supposed to be known for their tofu. It actually ended up being too sweet for me. My parents got the green tea version which ended up being much less sweeter. The matcha flavor is weak and of course doesn't have a soy flavor, but I think it'll be better for me to get that. The interior design is very modern and chic with smooth wood and matte metal touches. The lighting is concentrated on the table with food, so it wouldn't feel like it's shining on me. Side story. It's funny how after I sat down ~20 minutes, I got a call from the receptionist asking if I'm still coming. I guess they forgot to mark that I arrived and was seated. read more
We were already impressed at the entrance seeing the grand decor. It was not your "standard" ma and pa Korean restaurant as everything looked sharp and modern. They accommodated our party of 6 easily. As soon as we were seated, one of the servers brought us each a small glass of their homemade soy milk. It was so smooth and creamy. Some of us went with the lunch combos, which are a great bargain. Galbi, spicy pork, and Kimchi soup were generously portioned. Bibimbap and cold noodles were beautifully presented with a fresh combo of protein and veggies. Their banchan was made with effort and delicacy as you can taste the crispness and freshness. Their white peach Makkoli is a must as it's in a slushy! Multiple servers took care of us and were attentive and refilling our banchan and barley tea. At the end of our meal, they brought us dubu ice cream. That sealed the deal, it was the perfect light ending to our meal. All of us were impressed with the food, service, and vibe of Dubu Haus. Thank you for the lovely meal. read more

Came here for restaurant week and I'm glad I did! For the prix fixe menu, I got the spicy marinated pork with white rice, dwenjang tofu soup, and dubu ice cream (not pictured). The ice cream might've been my favorite part of the meal. With everything included, the portion was large for $30 and I was able to take some home. My friend had the galbi and that was also good. Overall, it was delicious and worth trying. There's also plenty of seating. read more
Love the modern, elevated ambiance here! The warm tones and decor made the space feel so chic and the menu looked great across the board. I really appreciated the complimentary soy milk shot at the start of the meal and the soy soft serve at the end. Definitely had a lot of soy that day since I also ordered the kimchi & pork kongbiji but it was worth it. Very hearty and flavorful with a rich kimchi taste, and it was my first time trying this style of soup. While I liked it, I also tried some of my friend's tofu soup and honestly liked it much more. Definitely ordering that as my entree next time. Service was prompt and attentive throughout. The only small downside was the bathroom situation. Bathrooms were all clean individual rooms but I had multiple people aggressively jiggle my door handle trying to get in and push while I was inside. There are several bathrooms available so I was confused. I think some kind of occupied/vacant indicator on the door would help greatly. Bathroom mishap aside, I had a great experience here overall and enjoyed the food! read more

I thought the food was good, but there was nothing to call out for me. We got a dubu dish which was tasty, the potato pancake was okay and kind of bland, and the mandu was great. It is a big space though many of the tables are extremely close together, which kind of took away from the dining experience. Additionally, the service was standard at best. They took our order, served the food, and gave us the check - it got the job done but no one checked in at all throughout the meal. You do get a free soy milk drink and soft serve ice cream at the beginning and end of the meal - I am biased because I am allergic, so that didn't add to my overall experience. read more
My friend and I got dinner here on a Tuesday night. We made a reservation but you can probably walk in and still get a table. Even though all the tables were packed, they turn them around very quickly. As soon as we sat down, they gave us shots of their signature soy milk. I love traditional soy milk and this was some of the best I ever had. It's not the Silk soy milk you add to your coffee; it's rich and thick and creamy and gritty. You really taste the soy beans in it. We ordered two of their tofu stews and they were surprisingly very different. The mushroom one was very thick (real stew-like) whereas the oyster one was more like a traditional seaweed soup with oyster and tofu. Both were delicious and I'm glad we tried both. We also got the Garden Fresh Dubu Jeon, which was pretty underwhelming because we expected the kale and beet flavors to be more prominent. Instead, this just tasted like pan-fried tofu. I wouldn't get this again. Lastly, another highlight of our meal was the free soft serve to finish everything off. It tasted more like vanilla soft serve with soybean powder than soy milk soft serve, but was so good. I wish I could've had more! This is also connected to Hanwoo, a Korean BBQ restaurant, and MUSAEK, a speakeasy cocktail bar underneath. I tried the latter and really enjoyed their cocktails so I'd be interested in trying their BBQ too.

I just found my new favorite tofu house in Ktown! Dubu Haus specializes in dishes made from housemade tofu which they make fresh every day at the restaurant. After being seated, we were served complimentary soymilk freshly made and was thicker than I expected. I loved this concept since soymilk is the beginning stage of tofu making. We were served a nice assortment of banchans which they rotate so each time you come here, they will different. This was my first time seeing mushroom jelly. I asked for their most popular soondubu and it was the Prime Short Rib Soondubu and it did not disappoint. I also highly recommend ordering their 12-hour spicy braised prime short rib was so tender and flavorful. Don't let the size of the pot fool you, there was so much meat in here. For something light and refreshing, I also recommend trying their Perilla Oil Buckwheat Noodle with Bossam. We also had bossam as an appetizer. The pork belly is braised for 8 hours, thinly sliced and served with Napa cabbage, handmade Dubu, radish kimchi and are meant to all be wrapped together. At the end of the meal, everyone gets Dubu soft serve made of tofu, vanilla ice cream and bean powder and it was soo good! It looks modern and upscale inside and the service was exceptional so I was surprise to find the prices to be quite reasonable. This was my second time here and won't be my last! read more

100% recommend restaurant! Our friends mentioned this had the best sundubu that they had and we had to try it! It has a great price point - sundubu, rice, banchan, and soft serve at the end. Everything was delicious. We also tried the potato pajeon and my gosh, we loved!!! The ambiance was so luxurious and the service was amazing! They also have lunch specials that have out of this world deal. I would definitely come back for the food, ambiance, and service! I highly suggest making a reservation because it tends to be full! read more

Wow... the Korean food here was delicious - Perilla oil buckwheat noodle with bossam - Marinated prime short rib - Tofu soup with kimchi Amazing flavors. Be sure to make a reservation. read more
Great spot for Korean food in Manhattan with reasonable prices. The portions are large and there are so many free things. You get greeted with free soy milk, there's unlimited banchan, and you end the meal with a soy soft serve. The highlights were the prime rib soon dubu - the beef is tender with a touch of smoky char. I don't think the upgrade to nutritious kettle rice is needed though - $3 is a bit steep for the upgrade. read more

DubuHaus puts a modern, upscale spin on traditional Korean tofu dishes while maintaining the comforting flavors they are known for. We walked into a sleek interior that felt more refined than a typical soondubu restaurant, the kind of space that creates a relaxed atmosphere well suited for both casual dinners and special occasions. The dining room had a polished, contemporary energy with a layout that accommodated both small groups and larger parties comfortably, and the subtle design touches throughout the room added to the sense of a thoughtfully curated meal. The house-made tofu is the highlight, and we found it giving the soondubu a noticeably softer and creamier texture than most places, the kind of quality that comes through clearly in every spoonful. Alongside the tofu soups, dishes like the perilla oil buckwheat noodles, bossam, braised short ribs, and assorted banchan provided plenty of variety, each arriving well composed and thoughtfully seasoned. The short ribs were tender and rich, and the banchan added layers of texture and flavor that rounded out the meal. The complimentary soy milk at the beginning and the tofu soft serve for dessert were thoughtful touches that made the experience feel complete, adding a clean, light finish to the meal. The restaurant stays busy, so reservations are a good idea during peak dining hours. Service was attentive, and food came out quickly despite the crowds, with the team moving through the room with efficiency and keeping the pacing of the meal steady. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to offer recommendations, which made navigating the options easier. Overall, DubuHaus offers one of the more polished Korean dining experiences in the city, especially if you are looking for high-quality soondubu made with fresh tofu. The combination of a refined atmosphere, well-executed dishes, and thoughtful service makes it a place worth returning to for a meal that feels both comforting and elevated. read more
Really tasty and outstanding value for money. The meal started with a complimentary taste of soy milk, which was rich and nutty. For my meal, I had the veggie soondubu, which was spicy, hearty, and fully of a variety of vegetables and tofu. There was also a pretty wide array of delicious banchan - the cabbage kimchi and peppers were my two favorites, but they were all delicious. My partner enjoyed the seafood soondubu as well. The meal ended with a bit of soy milk soft serve ice cream with roasted soybean powder. This was creamy, toasty, and light, serving as the perfect end to the meal. The bill came to just over $50 for two people after tax and tip. The service was also very warm and attentive. read more
This was one of our favorite food spots from our NYC trip - and we ate mostly Korean food. We made a reservation and was seated immediately upon arrival. The entrance to the dining area was a bit unique and unassuming. The banchans here was what won me over. The selection of banchan was delicious and some unique and creative. We ordered: Braised short rib: this was smaller than expected for the price, but meat was very tender. The flavor didn't really stand out, but was good. Mackerel dinner set: mackerel was cooked perfectly. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. Fish was deboned and eaten with ease. Soondubu had a lot of Ingredients and was not too spicy. The meal ended with a soft serve. This was a nice touch! The restrooms were a little confusing though. It was hard to see which wall was for men/women. It was also hard to see which stall was occupied. And when I was inside, it was confusing to lock and unlock. It took me a while to get out of there! They were very creative on the restrooms, but it created a bit of stress. read more

this place really puts the dubu in dubuhaus lol i think every dish we ordered had tofu in it. everything except the food was spectacular. service was amazing, the space felt really elevated and was quite large on the inside, and we even got free dessert (tofu soft serve)! now for the bad: the food lol. i think the banchan was unfortunately the best part of our meal it was really refreshing and similar to cho dang gol they give u some of their homemade tofu to try. unfortunately everything else we ordered that we tried was not great. the beef soondubu was particularly offensive it tasted like western beef stew which i was very shocked by. 4-5/10. the bossam was forgettable but fine. in general, i wouldn't come back for the food but i enjoyed my experience despite not enjoying the food that much lol read more

I loved the banchan here. I've had banchan at many different Korean restaurants and kbbq places before but the banchan here is my favorite. I got the veggie soondubu and also tried the mushroom soondubu. Both were good but we both agreed that the mushroom soondubu was better. We also tried a few appetizers. The acorn jelly was unique but not much flavor. The tofu sesame salad was good. Well dressed with a sweet Asian sesame sauce. Our favorite appetizer was the Gamja-jeon. It was like a crispy potato pancake but combined with the soft chewy texture of sticky rice. The complimentary soybean ice cream they served for dessert had the perfect softserve texture. The interior is also nicely styled in a Japandi modern wood aesthetic. Nice tall ceilings and dark walls. I would definitely come back! read more
