If you're looking for authentic Korean comfort food, this is a solid choice in the SGV. Their…read morekimchi and fish cake banchan are my absolute favorites- flavorful and balances your meal. I almost always order the Galbitang-it's light and comforting without feeling heavy, arrives hot and generously filled with beef. My boys went with the pork cutlet, which was perfectly crispy and paired with a delicious tangy katsu sauce. As a nice finishing touch, we appreciated the complimentary Yakult-like yogurt drink. Parking is plentiful in the back lot, making it an easy stop. If you're craving warm, comforting Korean soul food, this places hits the spot!!!

I've eaten here multiple times since they first opened, really hoping it would improve, but…read moreunfortunately, I still do not like this restaurant. The biggest issue for me is the soup. Every soup I've tried has been incredibly bland and lacks the deep, rich beef or pork flavor that you would expect. There's just no depth or boldness to the broth, which is especially disappointing for a restaurant where the soup is supposed to be the main focus. I came here again today with a group of coworkers, all of whom are Korean, with the majority of us having grown up in Korea. Unfortunately, we all had the exact same reaction. None of us enjoyed the soup, and the overwhelming complaint was that everything tasted bland. Even the kimchi was disappointing. The radish kimchi lacked the crisp, crunchy texture it should have, and the regular kimchi was missing the strong, punchy flavor you would expect. The interior is also very bare-bones and feels like the restaurant was opened with the bare minimum needed to operate. That alone wouldn't bother me if the food made up for it, but unfortunately, it doesn't. It's honestly disappointing because I feel like so many Korean restaurants that open in the SGV end up falling short, and unfortunately, this place is another one that falls into that category. After multiple visits, I can't say I've had a meal here that made me want to come back.

I'm back again and this time got their honey butter wings, soy garlic wings, and mayak gimbap. I…read moreordered delivery through doordash and the wings were still yummy and hot 10 honey butter wings ($20) I was craving their honey butter wings specifically and love their take on it. The wings are a dry sweet rub as opposed to a sticky one. The flavor is super unique and the crunch of the wings is delicious 10 soy garlic wings ($20) The soy garlic wings are just okay compared to the honey butter wings. I didn't feel like there was as much flavor as I wanted. I like the the wings were a decent size and had a lot of crispy crunch Mayak Gimbap ($15) Unlike the typical kimbap rolls, these ones are individually rolled and stuffed with carrot radish spinach fishcake and rice. It was super yummy but a bit pricey. Disclaimer. I ordered through DoorDash which is why the prices are higher. It's definitely cheaper if you order in store.

I had been craving Korean street food, and since this spot was nearby, I decided to give it a try…read more I loved that they had my favorite combo meal all in one, which made ordering so easy. Everything was really satisfying, and I also enjoyed the K pop music they were playing. They have a great menu with lots of different options, so there's something for everyone. It's located in a small plaza with parking available, although it can get pretty crowded. If the lot is full, there's also street parking right across the street.

I do say this is my go-to spot for Korean comfort food in Arcadia at Omma Tofu House. Located…read moreinside the food court next to 99 Ranch and Sunright Studios (delicious boba), this place has become my regular for convenient, satisfying Korean meals. Their cold noodle dish is easily one of the best within a 15-mile radius. Honestly, there's not much competition in the area, so it's more about convenience versus driving farther for the absolute best, but Omma delivers consistently good quality that keeps me coming back. The bulgogi plate is a must-order when dining in. There's something special about that sizzling hot plate arriving at your table with the meat still bubbling and caramelizing. The banchan is standard fare with basic kimchi, nothing to speak home about but expected for standard Korean cruisine. What I appreciate most is how family-friendly this place is. The food court setting offers plenty of spacious seating, and parking in the lot is never an issue. I mostly do pickups and there's usually no wait time. The one time we did sit down to eat, I noticed a steady stream of delivery orders going out, which speaks to their popularity. It's not fancy, but for quick, reliably good Korean food in a convenient location with easy parking, Omma Tofu House hits the spot. Perfect for those times when I'm craving cold noodles or sizzling bulgogi without the hassle.

Visited here with my partner for dinner over the weekend and we were mildly unimpressed. Located…read moreinside the President Square Food Court is Omma Tofu House in the right corner. It's shared with Sunright among other food spots, as well as 99 Ranch Market next door. Parking - Free in a huge large lot, plenty of spots as well as free street parking. Initial impressions is that the staff is not really paying attention. There seems to be 1-2 staff members for the front counter and a line was forming up and they were busy moving things around. I would say their priorities are not in line at all. At the very least, they're friendly and the food took about 20 minutes to come out, which is not bad at all but could be better. Since we ordered 3 dishes, we had to keep going back to the counter as the dishes were ready. The buzzer we receive after ordering is a nice touch. My partner and I ordered the Cold Noodle (naengmyeon) combo which comes with a Galbi Plate and we also ordered a tteokbokki dish as well, all to share. With the dishes, we also received a side of banchan, pretty standard ones from the usual Korean restaurants, fish cake, kimchi, seaweed salad, bean sprouts, and mash potatoes. They were all delicious aside from the seaweed salad, which was ok at the very best. It was very tangy and didn't seem fresh at all. The Naengmyeon was pretty delicious, I'd say portions could be better especially with the combo price. There seem to be less broth and less ice. Everything else is pretty standard. We didn't receive scissors to cut the noodles either. The noodles however are delicious, although different from other Korean restaurants. It's very savory and "slurpy" The radish mixed with the half egg was pretty refreshing since it was on the warmer side of the day. The galbi dish received with the naengmyeon was a disappointment to say the least, the entire plate was smothered with onions, and felt like there wasn't even much galbi at all. It's supposed to be a dish to share but you can hardly share it with such less portions of galbi. Even if you're not sharing, the dish is marginally enough for one serving. Portion aside, the galbi was pretty tasty and not tough at all. Not too salty so that was a plus. The tteokbokki is one of their specialty dishes as with many Korean restaurants. The portions is decent and is affordable. We didn't get to adjust the spiciness level (not sure if you're allowed to) so our dish was pretty spicy. The fish cakes are delicious along with the tteokbokki itself. Overall, a average Korean restaurant. They seem to be consistent but I sure hope they can upgrade their food quality a bit more. It's in a food court so I can understand the slightly "downgraded" experience compared to a dine-in restaurant.

So I went into my trusty Yelp and found this place. Going here was a great decision because we have been good customers ever since. PARKING: It has never been an issue to park here because if the above ground level parking is all taken, there is underground parking with a good amount of parking spots. WHAT WE ORDERED: As you can see from my pictures, my mom, g/f and I have ordered a lot of different things on the menu. Some of them are no longer on the menu, but wished they would have kept it. Some of the hits include: - Bossam with the pork belly (putting in the spicy radish, baby shrimp and garlic are a must!) - Any of their soups (the kalbi tahng and soon dae soup (soon dae only for me because the other pig parts are a bit too chewy) - their cold buckwheat noodles. On a hot day they put some soup flavored slush so keep the dish cold. - their soft tofu soup (soon doo boo). You can't go wrong with the various flavors that they offer. - Their pork neck soup - With winter fast approaching (hopefully because of this stupid Super Duper Extraordinary El Nino What I also really like is the fact that they have items that are good/catered to both summer and winter, so despite it being a blood sausage place (soon dae), they have other things on the menu that are quite good! VERDICT: As previously mentioned, my mom, g/f and I have been good customers of this place and will continue to go here. The family that runs this place are awesome. The wait staff are nice and attentive and the food are a chef's kiss! SIDE NOTE: Another great thing about this place is the fact that there are a great number of places down the street that you can go to for dessert: Paris Baguette, Old Ferry Donut and Bopo. So whether you are on a date or with a group of friends, there are options for an awesome 2-cha.

The chicken was indeed crispy and juicy, the perfect flavor and crunch value was there. I had no problems chowing down on that delicious goodness. I chose to get the soy chicken flavor for my boneless wings and I was not disappointed! Our KBop fries were so good. Fries crispy and filled with delicious sauce and beef bulgogi, and we enjoyed it with a side of white radish which you can get a nice helping for a dollar. We also tried the glass noodles or japchae, and it was just the right size to share with our fries. Overall a very fun and delicious culinary experience for a small shop and I recommend it for folks in our local area looking for fast food.

I ordered the beef short ribs with tofu soup combo. The food was okay, but nothing special. The tofu soup was decent and the short ribs were fine, but for what they're charging now, I expected better. The biggest issue for me is the price. It seems like every time I come back, it gets more expensive, but I really don't see any improvement in the food quality. I understand everything costs more these days, but when the price goes up this much, I expect the food to get better too. I'm not sure what happened. I remember really enjoying this place before and feeling like the combo was worth the money. This time, I finished my meal thinking, "That was it?" Not terrible by any means, just not as good as I remember and definitely not the same value anymore. Hopefully they step it up because I actually used to really like coming here. 3 stars for now.

I finally came back after several years and was pleasantly surprised, this visit was solid. I came around 5 PM on a Saturday and was the only customer at first, though it started filling up closer to dinner time around 6. Oyster Tofu Soup - Comes with a huge bowl of rice in a clay pot, which I love. The soup itself was very flavorful and generously loaded with oysters. The side dishes were reasonable, and overall this was very filling. (4.5/5) Ban Chans - The portions are a bit smaller compared to other tofu spots, but still good quality. They served five different ban chans, and my favorite was the kimchi, it had a slightly sweet profile with a strong chili pepper kick. (4/5) Overall, this visit was miles better than my last experience here. Prices felt fair and service was decent. I did notice the staff speaking Mandarin, so I'm not sure if it's still Korean-owned, but regardless, the food was delicious. Parking: Large parking lot available.
