This place surprised me pleasantly in more ways than one! First off, for the general price range of the food, the interiors were much nicer than expected, being clean and modern. The food was reasonably priced and tasted delicious, especially the tofu dishes. We had the seafood tofu and the yukhwae bibimbap. The seafood tofu is one of the best in the city, the tofu tasting freshly made and tasty, and the broth being flavorful and rich with umami. The bibimbap was okay, not the best but was still well executed. If coming here next time I'd opt for more of the tofu dishes since that was a highlight of the meal. Service was good and pretty attentive, though we did have to wave folks down a few times. read more

Came here at 9:00 on a Tuesday and it was very empty no line. Great service and super fast. Inside is very elevated vibes though I won't lie. Still pricing is decent. Pass on the bossam. Skinniest bossam I've ever seen. How can paper be tender. No flavor from the meat. The beef soondubu with the rice was actually really good I wasn't expecting actual chunks of beef. Maybe could be slightly more tender but it was good. Flavor of soup good too. Banchan was decent I liked the radish and kimchi but maybe they could've used a carb like potato or pancake (which I see they used to have :///) Free soy Ice cream at the end ++ was a great touch! read more

Dubu Haus is a tofu-centric Korean restaurant right near K-town. As a Korean American, I definitely had to try it especially when I heard some positive reviews from friends. They supposedly make their tofu in-house which is really awesome. I tried the bo ssam, soondubu, and seafood hot pot. The bo ssam was really good, some of the best I've had in the city. I like that the pork belly that they use isn't as fatty as I usually see. It was fun to make wraps with all of the ingredients. The soondubu was pretty good and tasted really fresh, almost healthy, although I do think BCD and CDG are still better for soondubu. The seafood hot pot was very good and genuinely spicy. My mom, who is a harsh critic of Korean food, really enjoyed it. They also ended the meal with complimentary soft serve which was a really nice touch. It's always nice to see more tofu-centric Korean restaurants in the city. Everyone knows about BCD and CDG but both of those places are usually too busy with long lines out the door. Dubu Haus wasn't too crowded when I went so I hope that more people check it out and are willing to give it a chance. read more

When my coworkers decided to celebrate a birthday lunch at Dubu Haus (which translates to Tofu House), I didn't expect to be this impressed, but I absolutely was. What makes this spot unique is that they make their tofu on-site, which really adds a fresh, unique quality to the entire meal. We chose a variety of dishes from the lunch special menu: the dubu jeon (you get five pieces of their house-made tofu), mushroom perilla seed soondubu, seafood soondubu, perilla noodles, and nutritious rice. Everything was hearty, comforting, and flavorful without feeling heavy. They also offer soy milk with your meal and even finish things off with a small serving of tofu ice cream--a nice, subtle and creamy treat. One interesting note: one of my coworkers tried to order takeout, but we were told they don't offer it. Surprising in this day and age, but maybe it's part of their commitment to serving everything fresh and on the spot. Overall, we left very satisfied. Great food, cozy setting, and a solid choice for a special lunch gathering. read more

Upon hearing about a place that does fresh tofu, i knew I wanted to check it out. The ambience is great. Dark lighting. You can even see them making fresh tofu inside! The tofu stews were amazing. Really generous portions and it came with the burnt kettle rice. The tofu ice cream they give at the end of the meal was also killer. This was sooooo good. Overall a great place for sundubu and other tofu dishes! Would definitely come back read more

Stumbled upon Dubu Haus for a quick lunch in koreatown, and I'm so glad we did! Upon walking in, the inside ambiance was slightly elevated and the hostess dressed very classy, so the vibe was not like your typical soondubu restaurant. We were given complimentary soy milk in tiny cups after ordering & tofu ice cream at the end of our meal! The tofu is so fresh and you can tell that they truly do handmake it every morning. Banchan selection was also very fresh - the beef jerky and oyster mushrooms were my favorites. We ordered 2 weekday lunch items: perilla oil buckwheat noodles w/ bossam and prime short rib soondubu. The perilla noodles were so refreshing and flavorful, with perfectly balanced hints of seaweed, kimchi, and egg. The short rib in the soondubu was delectable, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth (broth itself was a bit too spicy for me though). For the lunch special prices, I would come back for both of these dishes in a heartbeat. read more

My meal here was DELICIOUS. I know they're probably known for their tofu, but I was in the mood for something cold and refreshing and had to go with the Perila Oil Buckwheat Noodle with Bossam. Omg it was so good, the noodles had a nutty, sesame-y sauce all over that was to die for. There was a little ice to keep it chilled, but I'm extra glad that they put just the right amount so as to not water it down too much either. Mixed all together, each component complemented the other so well. Attentive service too - each meal comes with a small cup of homemade soy milk to start, and a soft serve ice cream at the end. They even charged my phone for me! It's a little loud inside, but shouldn't be a problem unless you are hard of hearing. read more

Wowwww this might be one of my favorite Korean restaurants in NYC! My friend walked by this restaurant before and said she wanted to try it, and I can see why! The entrance is beautiful and you can tell right away that this place has great decor and vibes. Even the bathrooms (all single stall) were lovely. I made a reservation for dinner and when we arrived, we were promptly seated. The service is top notch. As soon as our water carafe was running low, someone replaced it. As soon as we finished a plate, someone took it away. I never had any issues getting someone's attention. The other lovely touch was the free soy milk at the beginning of the meal and free ice cream at the end of the meal. I didn't love the milk since it's unsweetened (tastes healthy tho) but I did love the ice cream!!! Also, the assortment of banchan was impressive. I have never finished a bowl of sundubu in one sitting, but the veggie sundubu was just that good. The broth was fresh and tasted so good, and I could definitely tell the difference between store bought tofu and their homemade tofu. All in all, we had a great meal. I would absolutely return and recommend this place! read more

Dubu Haus is basically BCD Tofu House 2.0: a more contemporary, designery soondubu shop. And I'm not mad about it. Portions are shockingly sizable, especially at their very moderate price point. I also love that they serve banchan with your meal--one of my favorite aspects of Korean dining, and an offering that seems to be disappearing from NYC eateries at an alarming rate. The tofu soft serve presented at the end of our meal was a delightful surprise. Its cold creaminess was the perfect counterpoint to the spiciness of our various stews. Great addition to the K-town area. Be sure to book reservations in advance so you don't get stuck with a lengthy wait. read more

Dubu Haus creates an atmosphere that feels modern, classy, and upscale. I also love that they make their own tofu daily. With our banchan, they also served us homemade soymilk (unsweetened). We ordered their perilla seed mushroom soondubu and their spicy braised dubu. The perilla seed mushroom soondubu is a nice, mild dish - I loved the variety of mushrooms in it! The spicy braised dubu was great too but wish there was more pork belly. At the end, they gave us their soy milk ice cream with injeolmi - the perfect dessert to end the meal. Overall, we had a great experience. PS. check out their bathrooms. read more

Heard some pretty good things about this place so grabbed an evening reservation on the weekend. We arrived an hour early and they had plenty of seatings so were able to get a table. Service was friendly but definitely can tell we were being pushed along for the next reservation. I ordered to dubu/tofu bibimbap though I was hoping to enjoy the yukhoe bibimbap but this was not available that evening which was a bummer. Everything we got was good and generally speaking similar to other tofu focused spots in the area. Ambiance is quite similar to some of the newer korean spots in the area which is to say it is clean and intimate. If you like tofu and Korean cuisine, I'd say it's worth a try. read more

Def try out Dubu Haus and def make a reservation! Unless you don't like tofu, because this restaurant really prioritizes the clean and refreshing taste of their in house tofu. Everyone starts with a bowl of some tofu soup, and it immediately cleanses your palate. It's not the most flavorful thing, like I kind of wished it had some sort of vinegar or something, but the tofu really shines here. The bossam is also delicious! The meat is pretty tender, and all of the flavors are just so pure. Add in the pickled radish and the salted shrimp, and it all just blends so nicely. My favorite of the dishes we got was probably the perilla oil buckwheat noodles. The sauce was really flavorful and combined with the noodles to make a creamy but light coating. I was also decently surprised by the cold soybean noodles. I had seen it before, but never tried it, expecting it to have a thick texture and a really strong soybean taste. But that wasn't the case at all! I can see why it's considered a refreshing treat because everything is just so light. Actually, my favorite thing we had was the tofu ice cream. It just tasted like sweet soy milk and I loved it. read more

Cute restaurant though it can get pretty loud inside as the tables are pretty close together. If you love tofu, this is the spot - their banchan comes with tofu and they even finish the meal with complimentary soy flavored ice cream! We ordered the bossam which comes with tofu as well and I think the bossam should've been seasoned slightly more heavily to better complement the tofu which wasn't seasoned. Still, the combination creates more of a clean flavor. We also ordered two different soondubus where the perilla/mushroom one has a creamier, almost roe-like texture and the seafood one is much heartier. The seafood soondubu was amazing and definitely a must whereas the perilla/mushroom one was more of an interesting flavor that I would try once and probably never again. Both stews were good nonetheless, and I would definitely come back for the seafood one! read more

Walking in- the first things that catches my eye are the clean lines of the furniture and the paintings adorning the wall. I love how the ambiance is both refined and casual at the same time (almost as if you're having thanksgiving dinner at your rich friend's house). The food was overall solid and I really enjoyed the flavors of the broth. Nothing specifically stood out to me either but I enjoyed it nonetheless. My favorite was definitely the white peach makgeolli slush. If I'm ever craving Korean food or looking for some clay pot style rice bowls then I'll definitely be coming back here in the future read more

I was visiting NYC solo and my friend recommended this place. Didn't realize it was a little more high end and popular so I didn't make a reservation. I walked in and asked to be added to the waitlist which was about a 30-40 minute wait. I walked around and got a text that my table was ready. The staff were kind and the restaurant had a nice layout and decor. But omg the food was amazing. I'll never stop thinking about it and I will be back each time I come to nyc ! read more

This is a new-ish restaurant known for their tofu. It was relatively easy to get a reservation, and we were shocked by how large the space is. It also feels very modern, and is super nice inside. Here's what we ordered: - Gogi mandu- These had the perfect filling to skin ratio. I haven't had Korean dumplings before, but really enjoyed this dish. - Perilla oil cold noodle with bossam- I was actually most looking forward to this dish, but would skip on it. The perilla oil was a little too overwhelming and the noodles seemed too mushy. - Spicy braised dubu- Who knew tofu could be so tasty! While it's a little on the pricier side, this is definitely worth trying. To finish, they include a small serving of tofu soft serve. Honestly, the soft serve might have been the highlight of the meal. I wish there was a way to purchase more! Food came out quickly, and service was great. Bathrooms were also super clean (and there are so many individual stalls!) read more

It's been a while since I had a standout meal, and this one had a couple shining stars. First, the shot of fresh soy milk was so refreshing and truly tasted like tofu in liquid form. We ordered the jjampong, oyster and seaweed stew, beef soondooboo, and the raw beef bibimbap. The jjampong and bibimbap I would skip - would stick to the single serving stews instead. They were both great, especially the oyster and seaweed soup. Coming from someone who is not the biggest fan of oysters, this soup was deep, not fishy, and had a thicker consistency similar to when adding a cornstarch slurry to soups. I would revisit just for this soup. Also a nice added bonus is that the single serving stews come with rice that is nicely charred on the bottom with no extra cost, which is rare these days in the city. read more

Beautiful space, loud and vibey, draws a crowd. Lot of staff on hand to ensure you are waited on and ensures your full experience wraps up in a timely manner. Unfortunately, the food left a bit of a void for us. We get it, it's a tofu specialty spot so the menu caters to the key ingredient. Perhaps we over ordered the tofu in each category. We got the Ssam, Kimchi Mandu to start. Then added the oyster seaweed stew and the spicy tofu with pork belly. 3 of the items have tofu, Wayyy too many. Felt like the taste was lopsided leaning to bland... - Kimchi Mandu was great. Wish the skin was thinner. - Ssam was too salty for me, but friends liked it. - Oyster Tofu stew was not for me... too fishy. - Spicy Tofu w/ pork belly was OK, very one note. I think it needed something to be added... not sure, maybe some napa, maybe radish... something to balance all the tofu. - Healthy rice was good - Complimentary "warm tofu" and "tofu soft serve" was the highlight I think we should've selected a mixture of meat vs 3 tofu dish. Perhaps our meal wouldn't taste so bland. read more

Ban chan = 3.5/5 =a lot of variety of side dishes but some of them wasn't to my taste. The kimchi was good. The Kimchi radish was a little bit overriped. The japhche was the highlight of them all. Seasoned in good quality sesame oil. Short ribs : delicious and flavorful. However it was a bit on the sweet end. 5/5 Perilla oil noodles : 3.5/5 refreshing salad. The 4 pieces of pork belly was like thin slice of pork belly. Would not reorder. Seafood tofu soup : 5/5 the tofu is freshly made. You can taste the differences. Icecream : 5/5 love how they give free icecream at the end of the meal. read more

For a while, Cho Dang Gol was uncontested in the tofu game, but that's not so much the case anymore with Dubu Haus around. Where Cho Dang Gol feels rustic and homey, Dubu Haus has a modern air and posh arrangement. This place celebrates tofu from beginning to end. Before your main dish comes out, they give you a small bowl of plain fresh tofu. It's subtly sweet. I could eat this all day, honestly. When you wrap up, they serve you tofu soft serve which is light and refreshing. As for the larger ticket items on the menu, we got acorn mook and bossam. Both were great choices. My main dish was the perilla seed mushroom soondubu. This was my favorite vegetarian style dish that I've eaten all year. It's saying a lot since I'm a day-to-day carnivore. The variety of mushrooms made it a hearty dish and the broth had welcomed depth of savory flavor. I've already dined here twice and won't need much convincing to come here again. read more

BCD's had a monopoly on the Ktown soondubu scene for too long. No longer will I have to trek out to Fort Lee's MD Noodle House, now that the snazzy DubuHaus is serving beautiful house-made 두부 with a side of vibes. The menu outlines their signature tofu-making process, and the tofu really was highlighted in the perilla seed (들깨) stew with mushrooms - excellently textured. The dubu mandu were good as well, but a bit on the plain side without any garnishes (I guess there's a reason tofu isn't a traditional dumpling ingredient). The drink menu is noticeably upmarket, offering soju varieties like Jinro Is Back and Seoul Night. Service has some kinks to work out. We were provided with a few completely empty menu books, and flagging down a server for the bill was a challenging effort (they did not check up on us during the meal). read more

Came here for lunch on a Sunday and cannot wait to come back! I made a reservation for 1pm and the entire place was pretty much full! We ordered 2 appetizers and 3 entrees between three people and somehow managed to finish it all! Their Bossam was thinly sliced but so extremely flavorful, pairing perfectly with the lettuce and radish kimchi flavor wise but also texturally. We also ordered their Kalbi jjim which was fall off the bone tender, meaty and cooked to perfection! Their short beef patties were generously seasoned and grilled. These hefty patties were so juicy and packed a great amount of flavor and smokiness. Since it's the summer, we ordered their Kong guksu and their perilla oil noodles with Bossam, as well as their steak tartare bibimbap. These three dishes were so refreshing and the perfect accompaniment to our protein. Every meal ends with complimentary tofu soft serve which tasted like a light fragrant soybean milk on ice cream form! Everything from their interior to food exceeded my expectations! Be sure to get a reservation before you go! It was packed even for Sunday lunch!

Cho Dang Gol now has a competitor- this is more like an upscale tofu restaurant compared to CDG or BCD and honestly i didnt see much difference in pricing between Cho Dang Gol. They make tofu in house and take reservations, which was great. The food was very food- rice was well cooked, and all the meal was very satisfying. Good thing about this place is that because it can be vegetarian, its a good place to introduce non-korean friends to K-food despite dietary restrictions. Overall, I was very satisfied, and I will probably come back. read more

Restaurant was clean with warm decor. Service was good. Food was delicious. The mushroom one was so good. The thickness of the soup is what will make me want to go back for more. Seafood soup was good, but mushroom was definitely better for my taste. Bossam was thinly sliced and combo was fresh and delicious. Another item to get when I return. To top off the meal is the crystal ice cream. It's not too creamy, but more icy and refreshing. Just enough to end the meal. read more

Best tofu stew (soondubu) in Koreatown! Their pork and kimchi soondubu is actually very similar to the one from Cho Dang Gol, but I'm a Cho Dang Gol opp. Haven't found another place to eat soondubu until DubuHaus opened up. The prime beef short rib is the best soondubu on the menu, but the mushroom & perilla is also great. The beef is super juicy and tender, and the tofu is soft and filling too. Their other items on their menu are great too, but the soondubu is the main reason to go. The ice cream at the end is what makes this place exceptional! read more

Dubuhaus is a newer Korean restaurant known for their homemade tofu located in Ktown. We arrived at opening at 12pm on a Sunday and it was already packed with people waiting to be seated. The interior was modern and full of dark wood which gave it a very cozy vibe. We started out with the steamed meat mandu which were a little bit on the bland side but tasted better with the chili garlic sauce on the table. Then the banchan came which included some of their homemade tofu, spinach, pumpkin, chili shishito peppers, kimchi, oyster mushroom, and tofu pancake. All the banchan were pretty fresh tasting and the variety was good. Then the soondubu came which was accompanied with a pot of rice and an egg to crack into it. The soondubu was incredibly flavorful and slightly spicy, with chunks of soft tofu, slices of zucchini, scallion, and pieces of beef. There was a surprisingly large amount of beef and they were also pretty tender. The portion was pretty large and I was able to save half as another meal. The rice was also pretty fluffy and sticky. At the end, they gave complementary tofu ice cream which was a nice finish to the tofu themed meal. Overall, I really liked this place and it's probably the best soondubu I've had so far in ktown. read more

(Overall: A) - Dubu House is a Korean restaurant off the main street of Ktown featuring their housemade handpressed tofu. Their food speaks to the comfort-style Korean meals at comparable prices and displays impressively high quality. The restaurant gives a modern luxury vibe as soon as you walked in and is a great time all around. Would recommend. (Banchan: A) - Good mix of options covering a multitude of food groups and palettes. I enjoyed the inclusion of tofu both as a starter and ice cream for dessert to highlight the textural and flavor improvements coming from their house made hand-pressed specialities. (Oyster Sundubu: B) - The abundance of seaweed I found to be overpowering the rest of the soup. However, this was a great value meal including fresh and tender oysters that were spot on. (Beef Hotpot: A) - Great quality of ingredients all around with even better flavor tuning to help elevate them; I enjoyed the mushroom medley that brings a variety of color and textures; the beef and tofu was incredibly tender, showcasing a different variant to their tofu from the Banchan.

Nice, new Korean restaurant with an upscale ambiance. Food was solid but honestly I was not overly impressed and was lacking in some areas. Prices were decent though and service was good - the waiters were really attentive to refilling our water, drinks, and. banchan everytime it was empty. - Chestnut makgeolli (2/5/5): shaved ice was a fun texture but got a bit too sweet as the ice melted - Veggie soondubu with kettle rice (3/5): was really comforting but extremely stingy on the amount of mushrooms and veggies I got... mainly tofu - Mandu (3.5/5): solid, but again, not super impressed Complimentary tofu and soft serve in the end was a nice touch though read more
