we went for a weekend lunch - it was busy. the servers looked a bit panicked, but service was fine. seafood pancake - best seafood pancake i've ever had, but probably the most unhealthy. it was less dense than other pancakes. hard to describe, but almost like a haystack than a hashbrown (if that makes sense), which made it crunchier. still loaded with content. this is an absolute, must-order for us. galbi tang - it was fine. maybe not worth it for the price. fried chicken - super crunchy and good flavor, but i prefer bonchon. is that a horribly ignorant statement? i hope i didnt just say something like "[blank] is good but i prefer kentucky fried chicken" tofu - the soup is good - not memorable. i havent been there in a while, but SGD Tofu House in san jose was the best i've had in the bay area. read more

Popular classic Korean tofu stew restaurant with some special items. Great!: Galbijjim - The meat on these ribs is ultra tender. I find that the sauce here is reduced further than other places like Daeho, which amounts to almost like a barbecue rib eating experience. These ribs are served long and uncut, so it's a bit messy to eat. The other ingredients in the galbijjim like potato, carrot, and rice cakes were decent as well. Very reasonably priced compared to places that specialize in galbijjim. Supreme Fried Chicken - Not sure what sauce this is, but it has a sugar coating over it. Chicken is fried really well and is super crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. I like that the drummettes often have extra meat attached to them from the breast. Banchan - shoutout to the myriad of banchan items served here. Special acknowledgment to the eggplant, fish cakes, and japchae. Excellent! Good: Mul naeng myeon - this is my first time trying this food. Very refreshing and cooling. I can imagine it hitting the spot perfect on a scorcher of a day. Definitely add some hot mustard and vinegar to deepen the flavor of the ice broth. Combination Tofu Soup - really good ingredients in here and the broth is solid. I like that there are whole pieces of pork belly in here, and that the tofu itself is in big pieces and doesn't disintegrate into the soup. Ok: Yuk Gae Jang w/ Mandoo -overall a similar broth to tofu soup with some strands of glass noodles, vegetables, and a sparse amount of beef brisket. Flavor of the soup was good, but overall this was pretty ordinary in my opinion. Mandoo seem suspiciously like the frozen Bibigo wontons you can buy by the sack at Costco . Service is good and quick! Overall I'd definitely make another visit to this spot and try some more of their menu items! read more

I love Korean food, and I found this place on Yelp when I was in Milpitas. I had the beef tofu soup, and it was really good!! It was packed with tofu and beef! The banchan was also really generous. And the ladies that were working there were super friendly and very patient with my baby. I think this will be my usual Korean spot whenever I'm in the area :) read more

Hansang Tofu - Beef tofu soup - Korean Near Me - Milpitas, California

I loved the variety provided in side dishes. The eggplant and kimchi were my favorite. My friend enjoyed the potato and noodles. We both ordered tofu stew and found the portions to be very generous. Their spice level is lower than some other places. I normally get medium for tofu stew, but next time I would up it to spicy here. Service was quick, but refills for side dishes were much smaller than the original portions. read more

Friendly staff, the food was good and fairly priced, and enough tables on the inside. We noticed that there wasn't really a waitlist system (at least when we went) so some people actually skipped the line just by seating themselves - ahead of others already waiting outside. It would be good to have a sign in sheet or some Yelp Waitlist queue - unless they already have that:) read more

Such a great Korean spot serving all of the classics and some exciting dishes as well. The kimchi pancake was so crispy and flavorful. Tofu soup came out bubbling and hot. The banchan selection was small but mighty; all of the dishes were SO flavorful and fresh. The radish kimchi was especially delicious, I had to ask for more. read more

Came here for a late lunch and got seated immediately. The restaurant was quite spacious and the walls has posters of their notable dishes. The cold soymilk noodles was one of the dishes advertised. Although cold soymilk noodles poster notes both 18.99 and 19.99 as the price of the noodles, it's 19.99. This noodle dish is actually savory, though it does arrive unsalted. The soymilk broth is thick and you can taste the sesame blended in it. It's served with a small dish of salt so you can adjust the saltiness to your liking. Personally, I find this dish to be ok. It's definitely worth trying for the experience. We also ordered fried chicken wings and the combo soft tofu soup. The soup was very flavorful. The fried chicken wings were crispy and juicy. Their banchan spread is quite nice. The potatoes, fish cakes, and eggplants were my favorite. The servers held off serving the banchan until the soup arrived. Not sure if that is typical. Also if you want hot tea, you have to ask the server for it, as well to get refills. read more

Hansang Tofu - Seafood pancake - Korean Near Me - Milpitas, California

If you're craving a variety of Korean food, you should definitely check out Hansang Tofu! We got the soy garlic chicken wings, tofu soup and bibimbap and everything was so delicious with huge portions. I can't decide which dish was my favorite because I loved it all. We went on a Friday night around 6pm and didn't have to wait for a table, but a line started forming around 6:30/7. A little $$ but still so good, and might be my new go-to Korean spot in Milpitas. read more

Every time I came here, the workers had such a bad attitude or they'd get the orders wrong. Something as simple as to put the sauce on the side, they didn't even get right. I remember my fiance and I came here a little over thirty minutes before closing and they said they basically didn't want to serve us. They wouldn't allow us to eat inside. However, from my most recent experience of dining in for lunch on a weekday, it was completely opposite. I would say dining in is the way to go to get the best experience. The ladies working this day were all smiles, attentive, and accommodating to our request to splitting our fried chicken order in half with two flavors. So odd how our previous experience was just terrible, but this was nice. The banchan when you eat in is also a plus. The chicken is juicy and crispy for the most part. Just wish they were a little meatier like Vons or bb.q chicken, lol, but they're not bad. Enjoyed their beef tofu soup as well. The tofu is just so soft, and the soup is comforting. Their cold noodles were extra cold, and didn't have much vinegar, but that's because you can add your own vinegar to your liking. Can't say I like this better than Vons or bb.q, but for a Korean spot with options other than just chicken, this is a solid choice. read more

We came here for tofu soup, a great option that is open throughout the day. We came around 2pm. I got pork tofu soup ($19.99) with ramen (+$3.00) medium spicy and my friend also got a tofu soup also medium spicy. The amount of meat and taste was great, but one thing to note is that it wasn't spicy at all, almost as if we had ordered no spicy. My sister has been here before and said that when she ordered medium there is definitely spice, so I'm not sure if their quality control was off for that one day or it was changed between the time she and I went. The side dishes were good, and the service was nice. I would recommend! read more

Hansang Tofu - 17. Pork Soup with ramen - Korean Near Me - Milpitas, California

I've dined in twice before and even got take out before the gym for some heartwarming tofu soup on a rainy day. Recently ate here with the bestie. We both got individual soups and beef short ribs. Food arrived quickly and Momma Soon-Ji(?) was so sweet in taking care of us! It's all about the little things. She cracked fresh eggs in our tofu soups so carefully and even pushed the hot bowls right next to us, like a mom would with her eyes all crinkled up in a smile. Most servers would just place the food down and leave. Not a bad thing, just the norm. Beef and mushroom are my jam, mild was amazing haha especially after a workout. Didn't think I could do it but I finished the whole thing! Ate about half the rice. Short ribs were a bit sweet to me this time. Complimentary banchan: Spicy bean sprouts Kimchi Jap Chae noodles Broccoli Cucumber in rice vinegar Sweetened potatoes Eggplant Fishcake slices Spicy tofu cubes Typical tofu house vibes but warmer than SGD with wood paneling and a more homey feel. They have fried chicken at this spot too. Iced water and tea offered immediately upon seating. Can't wait to go back when the tofu soup craving hits. Say hi to Soon-Ji for me! read more

Hansang Tofu - Korean Near Me - Milpitas, California

Good food, however, horrible customer service. Do not visit this restaurant. If you have a party of 5+, this is not the place to go. They will harass you to buy more food than you can eat and give you an attitude if you don't order the amount of food they'd expect you to order for the party size. We were full with the amount we ordered and we were glad we didn't order more like the servers had suggested. My party was not offered water until we asked for it. Server only checked in at our table once and then ignored us the rest of the time. Other party of 2s that came after us were given water immediately and had better service from the servers. Honestly, wished we had the option of opting out of paying the 20% service fee because none of the servers deserved it. Felt so disrespected at this restaurant. I would not recommend this place to anyone else with this type of service. It's not hard to be kind and respectful to others. Or at least pretend to be kind and respectful. Better option is to go to another restaurant with a long waitlist and servers still providing better services than this one with no waitlist. Will make sure my friends and family avoids this restaurant. FYI: Reviewing other people's 1 star reviews from yelp, looks like their customer service has never been good since 2021 and the business owners made comments on taking feedback seriously, but looks like nothings has changed. Bad customer service and customer harassment is the same and it's now 2025. Either the servers find a new job that they enjoy so customers don't have to be their punching bags or they work in the kitchen with no interactions with customers. I do not understand how this business is still running. Prob just with the yelp elite reviews who are usually given free complimentary meals for posting a positive review on yelp. read more

Favorite Korean spot in East/South Bay for seafood pancake, tofu stew, and grilled pork galbi. I don't know what kind of voodoo magic they do, but their pancakes are sooooo crispy and not oily. Best seafood pancake I've ever had - no place in LA, OC, or NYC compares. They also provide plentiful and delicious ban chans. It's always busy but I've never had to wait more than 15 min for a table. read more

Food was excellent. There are so many stuff I can try. Will need to come back. Wait is bad. No reservation allowed. Seafood pancake - lots of ingredients. Crispy and crunchy. Galbi - very flavorful. Well marinated. We ordered the combo. Better deal but smaller portion. However, we want to try more stuff so worked out. Tofu was rich in ingredients too. We ordered seafood tofu, lots of clam meats and very tender shrimps, I can are the shells with it. Ramen - it's spicy. The beef we ordered as protein of choice is well marinated. Very tasty. Love the small dishes. Many of my favorites. Service - one of the lady didn't wear glasses was interesting. She was very friendly with every other table but somehow, very rude to me. She offered to replace small dishes with other tables and one next to ours. And when I asked, she hushed me and said with a stern look, "later". And didn't come tend to us until 10 minutes later. Having said that, she and the other waitress with glasses had to take care the entire restaurant and they were limes outside the restaurant. Tough job. read more

Hansang Tofu is my favorite Korean place in South Bay Area! This was actually my first date spot with my partner so it's a hold a special place in our hearts. The food is exceptionally delicious which makes us keep coming back. They have a wonderful selection of banchan - the potato is my favorite! The staff is always kind in refilling the banchan when we run out. For dishes, our go to is usually the soft tofu soup and spicy stir fry squid. This time we got the combination tofu soup mild and it was good! I think medium might have been a bit better in this case. The spicy stir fry squid is always bomb and flavorful. Coming back soon!! read more

Very nice Korean Tofu house. Lots of tofu soup combinations. The Banchan spread is pretty eloborate. Found the Beef tofu soup to be tastier than many other upmarket places around. So a definite try. Place is a bit tight, but service is quick. Would recommend if you are in the area. read more

My favorite korean restaurant! Best lunch specials. All of their banchan are amazing (most places I only like a few things). I genuinely love this place I always go out of my way to drive here from San Jose because it's so much better than all of the places there. read more

A great Korean restaurant that gives total mom and pop vibes! I visited for dinner with a friend and the food/experience overall was pretty positive. We got the #35 galbi + spicy mul-naeng-myun combo ($42) - this and all of the banchan provided was the perfect amount for two IMO. The galbi was well marinated, and came with about 6 small pieces. The spicy cold noodles were delicious and refreshing, and had the perfect amount of spiciness! Of all the banchan, I enjoyed the fish cakes and kimchi the most. There's plenty of parking in the plaza and they seem to get especially busy around dinner time. read more

A cute little neighborhood Korean spot! We ordered the - soft tofu soup: a classic, served with raw egg. It might have been a language barrier but it appears this soup cannot be made vegetarian so beware - kimchi pancake: this is HUGE compared to sizes I've gotten at other restaurants and not too oily - japchae: also a huge serving size but friend reported it was good Logistics: - indoor seating and 1-2 outdoor tables but they're just on the sidewalk with no heaters - plenty of strip mall parking in front of - limited vegetarian options read more

My favorite Korean food place in the SJ/Milpitas/Fremont area :) The banchans are always delicious, and I love the huge variety! The banchans are on the sweeter side, even the kimchi, which is how I like it. My favorite banchan is the eggplant!! I think this is the only acceptable way to eat eggplant now lol it's that delicious! The tofu soups are always so hearty and comforting. They don't skim on the meats that are in the tofu soups! What's pictured is the no spicy/pork version, but I've ordered mild spicy before, and it's a very light spicy (a noob like me could handle it comfortably hehe) The grilled chicken plate was a part of the tofu soup + grilled chicken combo. It was a good portion and the meat was so tender and flavorful! Not overly saucy, just the right amount. The staff are always so welcoming and came by to ask if we wanted any refills of banchans :) The restaurant is clean and has a nostalgic vibe. Highly recommend! read more

We've been visiting this restaurant for years but we won't be back again. The kalbi and tofu soup combo used to be cheaper and portion much larger. But starting this year, when you get the combo, both the meat and tofu soup is much smaller. When I placed the order, the waitress did mention that the tofu soup from the combo is only 1/2 the usual size. So I asked her if things changed and she said no, it has always been this way. Since we've always ordered the combo and the food is enough, we went ahead and ordered the combo anyway. Well, when the tofu soup was delivered, it was a joke. For this $40 combo, you get lesser meat than late last year and the tofu soup is half the size. The restaurant literally bought smaller pots and grill plates to be used for combos now. That is okay if the waitress had been upfront about it when I asked if the portion size changed and we wouldn't be upset. When I told the waitress the portion has definitely shrunk, she said she's been working there for years (2 years according to her and we've been going at least 5 years) and it has always been like that. I told her I don't have any reason to lie to her and she still shrugged off our concern. We even showed her pictures of the combos from a Yelp review from 2025 which shows the tofu soup in regular size pots but oh no, that wasn't enough to convince her that we weren't making things up. So yeah...just know that the combos are huge ripoffs now and based on this experience, I can say the service isn't that great. By the way, they're not too keen on refilling side dishes either. And the shrimps from tofu pots are always not fresh (mushy meat). Please be better to your loyal customers - they don't deserved to be lied to. It's okay to adjust prices or portion size, just be honest when your customers ask about it! read more

Yes, the sundubu is $20 and yes it is worth it Okay on quick glance you may think the food here is overpriced. The menu is pretty typical for a Korean restaurant but the key distinction is that they make the food well. The sundubu and bibimbap is excellent and generously portioned. Their banchan is also excellent with plenty of unsolicited refills. Staff is super attentive and very nice. This is going to be a go to spot for me when I'm craving some classic Korean fare. read more

After picking up some pies for "Pie Day", I was super hungry so I looked for a new Korean restaurant to try out and found this place. The restaurant is a good size and clean. The service was good and quick. Prices for food quality and quantity were really good. I was really impressed with the banchan. There were so many choices and they were all yummy...so good that I finished them all. The food was equally just as good. Here is what I had: Combo meal with galbi and combo tofu soup: the galbi was nicely marinated and tender with a good amount of meat, and the combo tofu soup was yummy too. It had seafood and meat in it, they give you a raw egg to put in the soup as it comes it boiling hot...so be careful Original fried chicken: this was good...the only thing I wish was it to be a little less salty. Other than that it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Overall I was pleased with everything and I will definitely go back to try other things. read more

This is by far my favorite Korean restaurant in the area. I've been going here for years and the food and quality is consistent and delicious every single time. The employees are also extremely nice and never skimp on the side dishes. I always get the medium spice, seafood tofu soup. The soup here is super flavorful, and they pack it with clams. The side dishes are very fresh and filling, honestly they can be a meal on their own. We also tried the seafood pancake today, and definitely will get it again. My mom is extremely picky when it comes to them, and she loved the one here. It's not greasy, there's plenty of seafood in it, and the batter itself is seasoned very nicely. The restaurant itself is cute and clean, with plenty of parking. I know there's several Korean options in the area, but this is by far the best one. read more

I love the abundance of side dishes they give here. The side dishes also taste fresh and well prepared compared to other places. I ordered 2 combos and a kimchi pancake for 3 people and we finished everything. The kimchi pancake had a perfect crunch for every bite (I had about 4 pieces- oops!). The combos are also worth since you can usually get a meat and tofu soup/noodles. I have come here about 4 times now and every time is hits the spot. read more

Best Tofu Soup in Milpitas. And best savory pancake in the bay. I remember when I got injured a couple of years ago, an ex-friend, shout out to T (no ill-feelings), got me their pancake. And it was so good, and even though it was to-go -it remained crispy. My mom and brother devoured the entire pancake.. I think I only was able to grab 1-2 slices. - P.S. they also sell their banchan when I last came there on a solo-date. - Service is always great; my boyfriend likes their food as well. And the eggplant banchan in the day-time is delicious. read more

Stopped by for dinner on a Sunday evening. It feels like a very homey place, and the servers are quick and friendly. The banchan variety here is great! I loved the eggplant, fish cake, potatoes, and kelp. The kimchi is more fresh and less fermented. They rotate their banchan based on availability but based on the offerings being good I have no doubt all the options are of the same quality. The soondubu with seafood is very shrimp heavy. I personally am a fan but it may be too much for people who aren't into strong flavors as much. The kalbitang had 3 large rib pieces and egg ribbons throughout. It tasted a lot more heavy on sesame oil than I'm used to -- I think I would stick to the soondubu if I'm looking for soup but it was still good, just up to personal preference. The pork bulgogi was good but pretty oily, which I feel has been typical of most bulgogi in general. Overall I would come again for their soondubu and sides alone, but I'd be interested to try their other options. read more

Hansang tofu has quickly become my boyfriend and my favorite Korean spot. They are open later than other tofu houses and have a variety of foods to choose from. They are run by ahjummas so it's very homey and it feels like they are always trying to take care of you! We've gotten the spicy cold noodle, fried chicken, tofu soups and the seafood pancake. The spicy cold noodle is not spicy at all and was so refreshing and nice on a hot summers day. It comes with one meat slice. The noodles were chewy, long and fun to eat. One bowl is enough for one person, but if you want more protein you'd have to order something else bc there's only one slice of meat. The first time we went, we were not gonna get chicken wings, but we saw everyone else get it, so.... we got an order lol. We decided on the supreme flavor. It kind of tastes like the chinese dish, sweet and sour pork. But instead of pork, it's chicken. If you order the chicken but not wings, you will get other chopped pieces, such as the parts of breast, drum and thigh. They will all be different sizes. The tofu soups here are very good. My bf has gotten the extra spicy and there are different flavor profiles per spicy level, which I also enjoyed. The spiciness is not overwhelming but will gradually build. I got mild and loved the flavor. The broth and spices they use are delicious We've been on a hunt for a good seafood pancake spot and this is definitely it. Originally we weren't gonna order it since we've been let down too many times, but we're glad that we did. It has a nice crunch, seafood plentiful, and not too doughy! Perfect ratio. It has flavor without the sauce too, but the sauce compliments it well. My bf and I finished 2/3 of it!l before we left!! When we packed it, the ahjumma gave us extra seafood pancake sauce in our bag :) awesome customer service! Don't get me started on their 9 plate banchan!! I haven't seen a place with that many before. They switch it up sometimes though so you might not get the same ones every time. You will mostly get typical kimchi, japchae, fish cake and potato, bean sprouts, broccoli, pickled cucumber (one of my faves). They switch up between tofu , radish, eggplant and the pickled seaweed (last two are my other favorites). All very delicious. Thank you hamsang tofu for another yummy dinner.

I ordered the dumpling tofu soup and overall really liked it - I normally can't finish a soondooboo in once sitting but this time I did! I will say, compared to some of the tofu soups I've had in the south bay, this one didn't quite meet that same level of standard, but nonetheless I enjoyed. I liked the banchan, particularly the japchae, tofu, eggplant, and fish cake, but some of the other banchan I didn't really touch.
