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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!!

06.04.26@2:45pm Made reservations for 2:45pm a table of 2 for lunch. Service was friendly. Alot of side dishes. Got the Beef Bulgogi lunch Banchan & added the lunch cold Buckwheat . The Cold Buckwheat was refreshing. No comment or complaint for the Bulgogi but of overpriced for 2. read more
I've been wanting to try Dubu Haus for a while, and it lived up to expectations! Reservations are a must - walk in waiting times on a Tuesday evening were about an hour. The soondubu here is really tasty - the broth is flavorful and kinda thick, and they're generous with the seafood and tofu. It would be nice if the spice level could be adjusted a bit, and I wish it came out at more of a rolling boil like BCD. I really enjoyed the banchan here - the kimchi & pickled radishes were standouts. Kimchi jeon here is also one of the best I've had. The restaurant is quite modern, spacious, and aesthetic. Definitely more upscale compared to BCD, but well worth the price. read more
I had a delicious Korean delivery lunch from this fine restaurant. I ordered Seafood Soondubu, and the Marinated Short Rib Combo which came with Soybean Soondubu. Of course, it came with four nicely prepared types of banchan including bean sprouts, pumpkin, broccoli and another green vegetable something like kale or spinach. Also, included were two mildly spicy types of kimchi...cabbage and a root vegetable. Steak does not carry very well on a delivery order especially when it is arrives at room temperature but the meat was very tasty and soft...still quite delicious. The Seafood Soondubu had shrimp, mussels, clams and scallops with tofu, some vegetables and spices...very nice. The Soybean Soondubu was a soft tofu dish to complement the short ribs. White rice was included. Delivery was medium speed. Packing was very good. In all, this was a very satisfying meal and I will order from here again. read more

I needed to find a Korean restaurant quickly that was open around 330pm and this came up. Ordered some jjamppong, rib meat soondubu and perils oil buckwheat noodles. I was pleasant surprised with the elegant decor inside. Staff was very friendly and quiet. Food was a hair too spicy even for a Korean person so ask milder if you can't handle spicy food. I loved the individual bathrooms and there were like 10 of them , not sure why so many. First round banchan and the second round were different, great to see variety and they filled it without even asking read more
Made a reservation on a Friday night for dinner was able to get seated while waiting for another friend to get here. The inside is very spacious and has really innovative and cool looking interior. The servers are very helpful and patient when we were ordering. They have some lunch specials that look pretty good also. Their maekgoli drinks are really good. Definitely recommend checking this place out. read more
Dubu Haus serves a more modern Korean cuisine - and their tastes reflects it. For appetizers, I got the meat patty jeon - the restaurant mentioned that it was a newer dish on the menu. It's a pretty interesting dish, it's like a patty stuffed veggie dish, so I'm not quite sure if it should be described as a pancake. For entrees, I got the spicy braised short rib. As someone who really likes galbijjim, this is the dish I was most excited for, and I definitely enjoyed it! I also got the seafood soondubu as well and I was definitely able to taste the quality of the dish! Both entrees comes rice. I got both the white rice and the nutritious kettle pot rice. I much preferred the nutritious rice! They also included complimentary dessert. I'm not sure if it was soy soft serve, or tofu soft serve. But it was also something I really liked! read more
I've been wanting to try this place because they make their own tofu in house. The food portions are pretty big so I would recommend sharing a few things. The prime rib soondubu and the perilla mushroom soondubu were really rich and good. My favorite dish of the night was the spicy pork and Dubu kimchi! It has a nice charred taste. For an appetizer it was super filling. We also got the potato and ma jeon and it wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. The staff was really nice with a variety of people who checked in on us. The food came out really quickly too that we didn't have enough room on our table for two. The decor is really clean and bright and there were also sections for larger groups! They also give you ice cream at the end of the meal which was really nice and a good way to end the dining experience! read more
Located in the space that used to be the rather terrible Japanese-Korean buffet IchiUmi, Dubu Haus is, as the word dubu/두부 suggests, a place specializing in tofu. They have done a good job transforming that old giant buffet, doing such things as adding larger booths, putting in much brighter lights, and separating the downstairs into a place for fancy cocktails/Korean seafood called MUSAEK (would recommend their Jeju Fluke Hwe and Cantalope/Boricha drink.) This staff was friendly, though a bit slow occasionally, and the food quality was good, with it feeling in general like a healthier meal compared to many of the other Korean places. They gave us a shot of fresh soy milk/두유 to begin with, which was a fun touch with the drink being mildly creamy and quite healthy tasting. The banchan at the beginning was a bit more varied than the typical spot included yeolmu kimchi/열무김치/summer radish kimchi, seasoned peppers, diced radish/kkakdugi/깍두기, burdock with sesame, bean sprouts/namul, and a pancake/jeon, which I had some mixed vegetables and possibly tofu or potato as the base. They refilled the banchan when needed, with all of them having mild flavors with various textures such as crunchy and otherwise. We started with the Grilled Short Rib Patty, or Tteok-Galbi/떡갈비, for $26 with prime short rib, rice cake, soy, and garlic, which came with three large pieces. Adding said rice cakes was a fun spin and is a bit cheeky, as the name translates to rice cake ribs, with the dish normally not having any actual tteok inside. The rice cakes added a unique extra chew and texture, but didn't take away from the meatiness, with the dish otherwise being a little sweet and slightly salty. This was a good appetizer, and I would recommend this to share. As per most tables, most of our orders were the various Soondubu (or sundubu) Jjigae/순두부찌개/Tofu Stews, which were all piping hot and comforting, with all the stews coming with a pot of white rice (with it also being possible to upgrade to their nutritious rice for $3 more, which I would do next time, with the quality in general being better than BCD or Five Senses. The closest in flavor to BCD Tofu was the Kimchi & Pork Kongbiji/김치 돼지비지찌개 for $20 with soybean curd, pork belly, and kimchi. The pork inside was good, while the kimchi added a pleasant funk. The tofu inside had a wonderful texture, making this, in most ways, better than BCD's version. Somewhat similar was the Prime Short Rib Soondubu/갈비살 순두부찌개, priced at $21, which featured the short rib along with zucchini and onion. The dish had a good bit of heat to it, and the meat inside was quite tender, being more flavorful than the pork and more tender. The only thing missing, by comparison to the other dish, was the funk due to the lack of kimchi. I preferred this a bit, and this would have been my favorite if there had been kimchi in this, as the short rib was that much better. More on the comforting side was the Perilla Seed Mushroom Soondubu/들깨 버섯 순두부찌개 for $23 with various mushrooms (king oyster, wood ear, beech, and shiitake,) along with zucchini and napa. The perilla added both a nice flavor as well as a bit of fragrance, while the various mushrooms had a good mix of textures. This was also very tasty. They were out of the Maesangi Oyster Soondubu, so instead we got the Dried Pollock Soondubu/황태 순두부찌개 for $22, which also had radish and bean sprout along with the aforementioned fish. The soup was mild, by comparison to the others, making it taste a bit healthier, with only the slightly rehydrated pollack having a light fishiness and a unique texture. I would probably order this again on a day I'm not feeling as good, but otherwise, I preferred the other soups a bit more. They gave us some homemade soy ice cream at the end, which was a nice and tasty ending note. This was one of the more comforting meals I had in recent memory, and I would go back here to try more of the soondubu or order again some of my favorites. read more
One of the easier spots in Ktown to get a last minute reservation. Very fancy and upscale atmosphere, and waiters are great at refilling the banchan. They're known for making their own tofu in house, and give you some complimentary soy milk and tofu ice cream with your meal. The spicy braised dubu was definitely my favorite dish. The sauce was delicious, and the pork belly was cooked very well. The nutritious rice is very tasty, and definitely worth upgrading to for $3. read more
If you like tofu, this is your spot. Dubu house has quick and polite service, the servings are good sizes for the price, and the tofu is nice and soft when it needs to be. Came here the other night with a group, and we ordered a variety of the apps and mains to share. We were first given small cups of a tofu puree/soup, and it was excellent. Great soybean flavor, really rich and creamy, perfect if you enjoy the pure taste of tofu. The braised galbi, the soondubu, and the bibimbap are some highlights. They also give a lot of banchan, and wow is that tasty as well. At the end, you get a lil sweet treat, and the price seemed quite reasonable for the amount of food we got. Definitely left stuffed, and would absolutely come back. read more
This place is beautiful! The prices for the entrees are not that bad given how nice the space is. The appetizer is a bit overpriced, I wouldn't get the potato pancake again. It was tasty, but not at that price point. The sauce carried it for me, tangy and salty. The pancake has a crispy outer ring and a mochi like texture. I got the short ribs soondooboo and it tasted the most similar to BCD's, with a better cut of meat of course. However, I did find it a bit sickening towards the end becauseof how fatty it was. My partner got the perilla leave noodles, and it was refreshing and the perilla taste isn't super strong. Not my type of entree, but he enjoyed it! The kimchi was the best part of the banchan for me. It tasted fresh and well seasoned. The ice cream at the end was a nice touch that I looked forward to. Echoing other reviews, the service wasn't the greatest because the space is huge and I don't think they have enough staff to meet the demand. However, the service wasn't super slow, you have to be a little patient getting their attention. read more

This place is delicious and the service is great! The inside is cute and plenty of seats too! I loved the unlimited banchan. Their soondubu is good but it was lukewarm when it came out. I think it should have been hotter! Their perilla noodles were good, but I liked their other dishes more. Their tartare bibimbap was good too. They give you a tiny taste of ice cream for dessert! read more

Newly opened tofu restaurant right outside K-Town that has quickly become a go to. We usually will get the Perilla Mushroom tofu soup with the Bossam starter platter, though the spicy rib soup is also very good. For the price you pay, you get a very generous amount of food; this is one of the few dubu restaurants I've been to where I actually am stuffed after eating. As good as the entrees are, the highlight for me will always be the complementary tofu-flavored ice cream they give. It's incredibly fresh and has a refreshing but not overpowering flavor to it - I honestly think it's better than most ice cream shops in New York. I would recommend putting in a reservation beforehand, as it gets quite hectic during lunch and dinner rush. Would recommend if you're looking for good Korean food at a solid price! read more

Service was very fast and friendly! Their unlimited banchan was good and they were quick to give us refills. We got the perilla oil noodles, short rib soondubu, and steak tartare bibimbap. My favorite was probably the bibimbap -- the steak was very tender and I'm a sucker for runny egg yolk. The flavors blended very well together. The perilla oil noodle was just a tad bland but I still really enjoyed the taste and the chewiness of the noodles. The short rib soondubu was perfect for a cold winter day. My only complaint is that the soup wasn't served hot enough to cook the egg. They also gave us complimentary soy ice cream at the end which was delicious! read more
LOVE this spot! Everything tasted AMAZING. The spicy braised short rib was my favorite, but I really liked everything I tried. I would love to try more of the different soondubu dishes. I love the complimentary tofu ice cream they serve at the end! The service was great. It was crowded inside, but they still served our dishes very fast. I like the elegance of the interior and the large space. read more
My friend and I ordered cod fish jeon, perila oil buckwheet noodle w/ bossam, and marinated prime short rib combo. While waiting for the food, the waiter came out with a complimentary soy shot. This was just alright, but at least it was free. As for the food, their code fish jeon was pretty bland without the sauce and breaks easily. If you're like me and sometimes opt out of sauces, it's basically required here. Their prime short rib combo was a good portion and the short rib's flavor is pretty standard. The tofu stew part of that combo though was a little different than what I'd expect and was a little thicker than usual. I didn't enjoy it as much as other parts of the meal but it was still alright. I loved their perilla oil bucketwheat noodle though. It didn't come with much bossam but it was hands down the best thing we tried here and super delicious. At the end, we also got complimentary soy ice cream and while not everyone enjoys it, I ended up really liking it the more I ate it. read more
I came here on a Tuesday evening with a friend. I made a reservation prior since I've tried to come here as a walk-in a few times and it's never been easy. The interior decor is very modern and sleek. The service reflects upon its ambience as well. For food we shared the kimchi mandu. My friend and I each got a soondubu for ourselves; I got the oyster soondubu while my friend got the prime short rib soondubu. We also got the white peach makgeolli to share. For starters; the white peach makgeolli is dangerously good! Highly recommend this! Kimchi mandu was good! Two each was more than enough for us. The soondubu were both really good! The only thing I'd mention is it seems we can't adjust the spiciness level. While I was fine with the spice level of the two dishes, I could see why someone who typically has a higher spicy tolerance could find this not as enticing. Nevertheless, I had a spectacular dining experience and would look forward returning next time. Thank you Dubuhaus! read more
Came for lunch on a Sunday with friends. We made a reservation the night prior and were seated right away. The ambiance was very upscale and nice. I had no expectations coming in as it was a rainy day and I just wanted something warm. I got the beef soondubu and it was really good! The portions are pretty big and of course unlimited banchan. We only got a refill of their lettuce kimchi since the entree was filling. You are welcomed in with a small, creamy soymilk before your entree and end your meal with a soybean kinako soft serve- delicious! Highly recommend for a nice lunch spot. read more
Great time here! Started off with unsweetened house made tofu soymilk. Pretty thick but tastes healthy. The ambiance: dimly lit, cute. Nice service Make resys! Best dish: Galbi jim: so tender!!! Tip: Banchan is refillable but sometimes they get busy so remind them Lovely free tofu icecream with soybean powder at the end. So delish read more
4.5/5. Super delicious and lived up to the hype around it. It can resemble Cho Dang Gol but definitely has its own essence. Mushroom dubu stew had a nice neutral taste. Surprisingly, my favorite dish was the pollack roe cold bibim noodles. The sauce was super delicious, the best part of the dish, and pulled it all together. The banchan variety was great and the homemade tofu ice cream at the end was a great touch. Would come back, but recommend a reservation. read more

Hands down one of my favorite korean/ Dubu spots in NYC. The food is phenomenal. The service is even better. And the ambiance is AMAZING! I've had almost every dish in the menu and I have nothing negative to say about any of them. I took my friends who were from Korea and they gave their seal of approval! I love the banchan and they also finish off the meal with a complimentary soy soft serve. Every single time I've gone I've had superb service. They're so attentive and kind. Finally, the ambiance is truly wonderful. It feels very elevated. Like ~casual~ fine dining? Overall, one of my favorite restaurants! read more
Food was solid, portion sizes were also good given the price. I got the seafood soondubu, and personally found it to be a bit too salty and one-dimensional. I loved the freebies, the ice cream and soy milk shot were fun additions. They definitely get crowded, and I felt like they were trying to rush us out a bit, and the tables were closer together than I would've liked. 3.8/5 all together. read more
I'm definitely a fan of Dubu Haus. As I get older, I think I start to appreciate some of the subtler flavors - and I think Dubu Haus's homemade tofu is a great example where you can really taste the slight nuttiness of the tofu in a very clean way. We ordered the braised short ribs and bossam, and they provided complimentary tofu-based ice cream afterwards. It was a good amount of food, and I enjoyed that the tofu in the bossam really highlighted the flavor of the tofu. The bossam is cut a bit thinly, so it's something to note compared to traditional bossam (but I kinda like it in this thin way). The braised short ribs were also quite tender. The restaurant has a beautiful interior and is a great addition to the neighborhood - I'd definitely come back. The service was very attentive as well. read more
The ambiance is so chic! I was surprised that I passed by this place for a year and didn't know that it was there. The exterior is subtle, but once you go inside, it's very pretty. I went for a farewell dinner and it did not disappoint. We ordered 보쌈 (bossam), 들깨 버섯 순두부찌개 (perilla seed mushroom soondubu), 명태회 비빔 막국수 (spicy pollack buckwheat noodle), 영양 솥밥 (nutritional rice), 김치 만두 (kimchi dumplings), white peach and chestnut makgeolli. Everything was delicious. I loved the two makgeolli. They were slush and perfection! We were four people and this was enough food. Afterwards, they give you ice cream. read more
Came for the third time! Super solid spot and tried some different dishes this time. Got the tofu signature pot, mandu, short rib and soondubu combo, and the chestnut makgeolli. Service was great and I really like the high end ambiance of the restaurant itself. read more
I have heard only good things about Dubu Haus, and everything was so delicious and fresh! We ordered 5 dishes amongst 4 people and we were very satisfied and packed leftovers. Would highly recommend the Perilla Oil Mushroom Soft Tofu for an earthy, savory mild take on Soon Dubu. Would also recommend saving some space for the complimentary soft serve ice cream at the end! The interior is spacious and beautiful with a more calming atmosphere than the pochas in Ktown. read more
I literally recommend Dubuhaus to all my friends and anyone looking for a solid spot in K-Town. It's one of those places that just nails comfort food--from soups to noodles and everything in between. My favorite part is that they make all their tofu in-house, and it's non-GMO. Huge draw for me as a nontoxic girly. They even start you off with complimentary freshly made soy milk, which is such a unique and comforting touch. The banchan is amazing, the food is consistently delicious, and the portions are generous for the price--I always leave with leftovers. The ambiance is elevated and stylish without feeling pretentious or overly trendy. Plus, there's rarely a wait, probably because it's a bit newer and not right on the main K-Town strip. Seriously, go. This place is such a standout! read more
I just can't believe this restaurant isn't talked about more and isn't more popular than it currently it is. Selfishly, I hope that it continues to fly under the radar because that will make it easier for me to get to eat here in the future! On the Beli app, I had a friend rate this restaurant a 10/10. Intrigued, I came here with my boyfriend recently and omg we were NOT disappointed. Pro tip, they don't give you utensils because each table already has them in a little drawer on the side of the tables. First of all, the interior is beautiful. Secondly, the restaurant gives you so many goodies on the house: fresh soy milk, banchan side dishes, and soy milk ice cream at the end. The soy milk was thick and and not sweet. We really liked the pickled vegetables and the fish cake side dishes. The star of the show was the perilla oil buckwheat noodle with bossam...holy moley...my boyfriend and I devoured this like nobody's business! I think I normally don't like cold noodles but I threw that thought out the window as this was not only so colorful and visually stunning, every bite tasted so crisp and refreshing. Though the prime short rib lunch combo was also amazing (like for real that was some wonderful beef), my boyfriend and I agreed that we both should have just gotten the perilla oil buckwheat noodle bowls, it was THAT good! They give you little soy milk ice creams to finish the meal. It's got a nutty roasted flavor that makes it interesting in relation to the milky creaminess of the ice cream, it was awesome! The meal altogether was so affordable too like we honestly thought that this caliber of meal deserved a higher price point but don't tell them this lol If I had to be picky about one thing, I guess it would be the bathroom experience. Don't get me wrong, I loved that there so many stalls and the set up is overall really nice. They play like swanky house jazz vibe music in the bathrooms to give the impression of a cool vibe. The loud hand dryer totally ruins this vibe. I would have preferred paper towels instead but I understand why they would opt for the hand dryers. I can't wait to come back multiple times in the future! read more
Dubu Haus is a solid Korean restaurant with homemade tofu. The hospitality is a highlight. From the moment you walk in and are greeted by the hostess to the tofu palate cleaner and small interactions in between, the service is an example of jeong in hospitality. The short rib soondubu is definitely a highlight. The galbijim and bossam were a little disappointing. Maybe it was an off day but the galbijim was a little too sweet and the meat was not as tender as it could be. I also had the perilla noodles which was a nuanced and light dish! The ice cream at the end is a very nice touch. On a funny note, guests in our party on two separate occasions mentioned that the bathrooms are nice. Would recommend! read more

Solid Korean food with generous portions! Most dishes are meant to be shared, and they serve plenty of banchan (side dishes), which is always nice. My friend and I ordered a few dishes to share: Beef Tartare Bibimbap (3.5/5): Tasty, but it could've used a bit more seasoning to make the flavors pop. Seafood Soondubu (4/5): Fresh seafood and lots of tofu, though I wish it had more broth. Braised Short Ribs (5/5): delicious! So tender, rich, and flavorful -- easily our favorite dish of the night. The staff were super friendly and checked in often, which made the experience even better. The restaurant is spacious, with two levels, and there's even a hidden entrance to a speakeasy. We didn't check out the speakeasy this time but will check it out next time. read more

Visited Dubu Haus with a friend since I heard great things about this place, and I was glad I checked it out! The restaurant is very modern and classy, on a Sunday evening it was packed with people. It can get very loud in the restaurant, so I did find it a bit hard to hear my friend when they were talking. I ordered their Veggie Soondubu, and it was delicious. I was a bit surprised when the broth wasn't spicy, as I was used to Soondubu being spicy (and nowhere on the menu did it indicate that it would have no kimchi/be spicy). However, the tofu was fresh and delicious. I was worried it wouldn't be flavorful, but it tasted great. At the end, they also give you a free soy ice cream as dessert, which was very yummy as well! I'd highly recommend this place if you're in the K-town area, but I would suggest making a reservation in advance or you'll be dealing with long wait times. read more
I'm a pretty diehard CDG fan so my expectations were high for this place and I was pleasantly surprised! Vibe is much more upscale with a ton of seating compared to most spots in KTown. Everything was clean and modern. Service was attentive and quick, too. Food itself we ordered: - Perilla Seed Mushroom Soondubu - Cod Roe Soondubu (spicy) - Spicy pollock buckwheat noodle I personally really enjoyed the perilla seed. It was clean and had a strong umami taste with the mushrooms. It balanced really nicely with the cold and funky buckwheat noodles which were also great. The only thing that was a letdown imo was the cod roe soondubu. It wasn't particularly spicy and just didn't hit the flavors I wanted. Would probably skip that. Someone in our group ordered the prime short rib soondubu as well. Didn't get to try, but she was raving about how good it was so perhaps something to get next time. The banchan was solid. Especially liked the beef one. Ice cream at the end was a nice touch. Overall, it's a nice and comfy spot to get some good soup! Seems like for now it's also pretty easy to grab a resy.My only other wish would be if they served the seaweed oyster soup. read more
This place was all over my TikTok so I knew that I wanted to try it out. I believe they do have a bar downstairs - highly recommend making a reservation online because they get pretty busy. The place itself is so open and spacious. Their bathrooms are beautiful - individual stalls with their own sink in each one. When we got seated they gave us all complimentary soy milk which was very fresh and thick. The menu is not super extensive but there is a decent amount of stuff for everything. We got a bunch of things to share: -Bossam: this was delicious - the addition of the tofu made it taste so much better. Their tofu is made in house and is super fresh -prime short rib soondubu: we paid extra for the nutritious kettle pot rice ; this was so yummy and such a good dish for a cold day. The prime rib was super tender and flavorful. -perilla oil buckwheat noodle with Bossam: honestly nothing too special about this dish - I would pass on it again next time. They also had pretty unique side dish and the pancake they had was super yummy. They also have free soy milk ice cream at the end which was so good! Overall - if you are in the mood for tofu highly recommend coming here! read more
I went here not too long after it opened and had a great experience. First, the restaurant itself felt so modern, beautiful, and extremely large - I didn't feel too close to any other parties and it didn't get too loud. The service was good, but I think at the time, they were still figuring out the flow of things since it had just opened. Now for the food - they started by serving a small bowl of the tofu soup in some broth and it was lightly sweet. - The kimchi mandu - flavorful and perfectly cooked, it didn't need a sauce or anything to pair with it. - The braised short rib was juicy and delicious and definitely was the highlight of the meal. - The beef soondubu was classic but I would say not the standout dish. - The perilla seed mushroom soondubu was one of my favorites but you have to love the perilla flavor. Not everyone at my table loved it - The tofu soft serve was the perfect way to end the meal - refreshing, light sweet, and a perfect small amount One recommendation I have is to eat the perilla soondubu before any spicy dishes so it doesn't get overpowered. If you have a small group, maybe skip the classic soondubu. I can't wait to come back here! read more
We came for dinner and it was pretty busy for a weeknight. We got the spicy braised tofu, spicy pollock buckwheat noodle and beef pancake. All the dishes were really good. The spicy pollock buckwheat noodle was my favorite dish. It was spicy and refreshing. The spicy braised tofu was pretty good but there wasn't a lot of pork belly. We finished off our meal with complementary ice cream. Overall, I would come back to try other korean stews. read more
This's our first time coming here. We didn't have a reservation in advance, we're able to do walk in and get seated within an hour. We're greeted with a small glass of soy milk for everyone which was tasty. I had to get the tofu soup of course since tofu is made in house. They have combos as well that you can order which has a protein dish + tofu soup of your choice (2 options)! Everything we got was very tasty! service was okay,I feel like he's rushing us to order our meals with zero smile on his face. The other server who handed us the check at the end however was super nice. Overall it's a very good experience, and you get complimentary soft serve at the end! Also, the bathrooms are very clean with multiple private stalls. Would recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit especially on the weekend !! read more

I tried a variety of dishes here and they were all pretty good. The flavors were good and the ingredients felt fresh. The interior is really modern and clean and the service was good as well. Make sure to make a reservation because it does get packed. Were pretty good also but my favorite was probably the tofu ice cream. So unique and creamy and I've never had it before so I was pleasantly surprised. read more
