    Parking was a breeze. Once we arrived we were immediately offered a table. There was a wide selection of options to choose from. I ordered the seafood tofu soup spicy. And the BBQ Beef Ribs. The sides provided were delicious and bottomless. The servers constantly kept asking if we wanted more sides. The inside was upbeat and they offer Karaoke. Our food quickly came out and despite being busy with a restaurant full of people the servers did an axing job ensuring everything was to our liking. I absolutely love this place!!!!

    This is a Korean restaurant that I like to go from time to time. They're reasonably priced, and the food is pretty good. Now they have a small tablet on each table where you can place the order yourself. Whenever you need more of the side dishes, you can let any of the servers know. The parking can be a little tricky since it's on a hilly side with only a few spots. They have a break time from 2:30-4:30, so be sure you're there during the business hours.

    Food is super authentic... honestly tasted better than the tofu soup I tried in Korea. Every order comes with side dishes and there's a station for water or hot barley tea... the kimchi beef tofu soup was so yummy and such a comfort food and the bulgogi was perfectly seasoned and tender so delicious! Service was helpful and kind. Not trendy or cutesy inside, pretty practical appearance and the parking isn't great although there is a few parking spaces it's mostly street parking. I will be bringing more people to eat here!

    Spicy kimchi tofu soup! The blood red color gives an idea how spicy it was aka super spicy :)

    I ordered the Spicy Tofu soup to go, and it did not disappoint! The spicy was super spicy, and the blood red soup color said it all. A lot of places don't make the soup as spicy, and tone it down. If you're looking for the typical spice, go with medium. I love that it comes with purple rice, and the sides tasted straight from a mom's kitchen in Korea. Authentic flavor and a nice size portion as well. The hostess helping me was really sweet, and my order was ready in less than 10 min. I'll be back! But will prob go with medium spice next time ^^

    Great lunch specials. One of the best tofu soup spots in La Crescenta Montrose area. My go to spots when I don't want to go out to ktown.

    That's right! Lol

    Never fail! I haven't been here in over a month. That's very unusual but medical issues. I'm back for our go-to never fail delicious Korean BBQ and tofu soup.

    I love the food here--sides, meat, soup! The service is fast, and the staff is accommodating. It can be another go-to place if you are craving Korean cuisine for lunch or dinner. In the afternoon, they open at 4:30 p.m. We ordered the small intestine tofu soup and ribs. The ambiance is simple and pretty organized.

    To be honest, we had never heard of Miso Tofu until we looked up "Korean Tofu" while driving east on the 118, heading back to the San Gabriel Valley. We had a craving and after looking at the pics we decided to try out Miso. We did not expect to find the little shop so packed! And as we waited, car after car pulled up and one occupant would jump out and check how long the wait was. It was pretty obvious this was a regular spot for local Korean families and we knew we would be in for a treat. The server made us feel like one of those regulars as he answered all our questions and guided us to our choices. The room felt cozy and warm and that's exactly how the galbi made us feel too. This was classic Korean food done well and we balanced the warmth out with some spicy cold noodles. We loved it all and it was simply better than the Korean Tofu shops we have around us. It's a bit of a drive for us but we will definitely be back.

    I had lunch here recently, ordering one of my favorite Korean entrees, Yukgaejang ("Spicy Beef Soup"). I was happy to see it come with purple rice, which I enjoy much more than white. The Yukgaejang among the best I've had recently, with a hearty, spicy broth, and lots of ingredients. My husband ordered Kimchi Kalguksu ("Home-style Noodle Soup"). He said the broth was the right level of spiciness for him, and the noodles were just the right firmness. He wished it had a bit more Kimchi in it and maybe more than one rice cake slice. But, he was happy with what he ate. I've noticed that in most Korean restaurants, the number and amount of Ban Chan has shrunk. We were given only 4 Ban Chan dishes here, and the amount was nowhere near enough for our group of 4. However, they were more than willing to refill Ban Chan when we finished one, so the initial amount given didn't matter. The Ban Chan was tasty, and fresh. Service was good. The restaurant was full when we arrived, so it did take a while to order and get our food, but the wait was relatively short given how busy it was.

    This was our second time to this restaurant. The food and services were excellent! We enjoyed their side dishes a lot and the waiters were kind enough to kept bringing us more.

    I LOVE this Korean BBQ place! The food here is so good and they have great service. They are always kind to the customers and are very speedy. The restaurant is super cute.Overall, a great place to enjoy some Korean BBQ with great service and a cozy feel.

We were…read morestarving when we arrived and the food was so delicious, hearty, and incredibly satisfying. Definitely a great restaurant if you're craving Korean soups - I got the Galbitang and it definitely hit the spot. The broth was so warming and hearty and the galbi were tender and paired really well with the soup and dipping sauce. We also got the bossam which was great for sharing among the group and just a perfect mix of flavors and textures. Side dishes included kimchi, pickled daikon, and fish cakes. Everything was simply delicious!

Outside there's many plants that make walking in very welcoming. The food may be for some people, but not for me. I ordered 6 on the menu which I expected to be extremely flavorful based on its appearance, but it tasted very plain to me. I did order a more simple item on the menu compared to others, so I guess I should have expected that. My family enjoyed theirs which is good. There are plenty of other options, but they are mostly spicy; however, the side dishes are amazing! The cost is a bit pricy, but if you like it, it's worth it. This was an overall pretty good experience, and would recommend; just make sure you're a fan of this kind of food.

    Having to cook dinner after coming home after a long day at work just seemed daunting Wednesday…read morenight. My boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to Korean food for dinner and typically we would go to Jincook, but I wanted to try something different. I found K-Street on Yelp and wanted to give it a try. There's plenty of parking in a safe parking garage which is nice! We arrived to the restaurant at around 8pm? Upon walking in we saw that they have a B rating so my boyfriend was a bit weary of eating there. Upon walking in, it was completely empty-- understandable because it was a Wednesday night. The server was a super nice woman who gave us recommendations and explained things I needed clarification for. The restaurant was cute, had street signs for streets in Korea and a huge projector that screened music videos on the wall. I'm sure the place is usually poppin' on nights when it's busy! It was really quiet because we were the only ones there but the music was a nice addition to break the silence. My boyfriend ordered the Bulgogi Dolsot, which is bulgogi with rice in a hot stone. He said the bulgogi had great flavors and the crispy rice was his favorite! The bulgogi wasn't fatty or too tough, he loved that they didn't skimp on the meat. I ordered the Hot Pot Bulgogi, it was a soup with bulgogi, some rice cakes, and some noodles. It was served with rice, but I skipped on eating the rice. The soup to me was a bit too salty! It had great umami flavor and depth to the rich flavor but I needed lemon or vinegar to break up the saltiness. The bulgogi in the soup was nice and tender, I ate basically all of the bulgogi. The rice cakes were nice and chewy, and the noodles made it feel like a complete meal. Was it worth $22? Not to me, for what it was I think it should've been around $15. The also gave us complementary banchan, but it wasn't the best. I understand we were only two people and they were bottomless, but 4 small pieces of pickled radish and 2 bites of kimchi? I could've easily eaten 5 plates of each but I didn't want the server constantly coming back to bring us more. Again, we were the only ones there so I didn't want to feel like a burden. Would I come back here again? Unfortunately not. My first impression at K-Street wasn't the best and there are plenty Korean restaurants that I personally like!

    They share a restaurant space with a Korean corn dog spot which is a little confusing, but what's…read moremore confusing is how this place is super inconspicuous. You could easily walk past it and you wouldn't even know. That said, the food is pretty good. My one and only gripe however is that for some reason they do not offer pick up orders to be placed by phone OR on delivery apps. It's the strangest thing, and having to go into the restaurant in person to order to-go is a big inconvenience. I typically order the Chadol BBQ. Not many korean restaurants offer brisket (it's usually bulgogi, galbi, or chicken). So whenever I have a hankering for brisket but not AYCE, I know where to go. The brisket is tender and usually not overcooked. Their steamed mandu is chicken and pork. It's nothing special but you get exactly what you expect. Parking is pretty convenient in the parking garage right above it, with the first 45m free (no validation required).

    I LOVE TOFU SOUP!!!…read more got the beef tofu soup and it was deliciousss. one of our group had burnt rice but the staff were quick to replace it. the spicy cucumber here is so good i ate like 2 plates honestly. i will say is that the spice scale isn't super accurate. i am pretty bad with spice so i got a mild and it was just ... alright... i feel like i was missing a lot of the flavor, not just heat level. my friends who got medium and spicy let me try their soups and they were way better and honestly not that much spicier. so i would say give a higher spice level a try if you want more flavor in your broth. we also ordered a bottle of soju to share and some of the spicy chicken. those were good too!

    Oh boy! I don't want to give 1-Star but really I should. Yes, it could have been better....but, it…read morewas 'not good' at all. This place is basic, nothing fancy and there's really no ambiance or special feelings associated with it - it's just an old-looking sit-down and serve establishment. The few people sitting to eat were random; I was there to order to-go. After asking what was the patrons favorite dish(es) the lady quickly pointed out the most expensive items on the menu. Of course she did. My eyes rolled but I was polite and decided to order something I recognized and wouldn't hate myself for in the morning. Chicken Teriyaki Can of coke My bill came to $34.23 Ahem! What? Why does a plate of Chicken Teriyaki cost so much? And why $3 for a can of coke? I just cannot wrap my head around it. This isn't a fancy restaurant at all! In fact, it's as basic as it gets with no ambiance or warmth. I cannot recommend this place at all. The food was pretty poor and nowhere near on par with classy eats that try to reach that $$ figure. Montrose is certainly a place where there are people with money and no taste...looking for reasons to spend it willy-nilly. I thought I took a photo of the plate when I got home. Guess not. Avoid if you aren't made of money and prefer well-prepared meals, not quick, mushy fast-foodish stuff.
