    Menu with description of hot stone bibimbap
    Sandy N.

    Tried Naju Tofu and had the hot stone bibimbap. The dish was good overall, but I felt it could have used a little more beef to better balance all the vegetables and rice. It came with a nice assortment of side dishes, which added variety to the meal. The restaurant is small and simple. Service was fast, and we were greeted promptly when we arrived. We had quite a few questions about the menu. The waitress who initially helped us seemed a bit frustrated, but she handed us off to a male waiter who was very helpful, took the time to explain the menu, and was attentive. Overall it was a nice dining experience.

    This drink was amazing

    I was craving some Korean food, especially tofu soup, and decided to stop by here for lunch. They have some great lunch special deals going on, but I was just feeling like eating a classic tofu soup. The soup was good, but started to taste a bit bland after a while. I wish that I would've ordered the short ribs as well. Overall, great customer service, and people. The MVP worthy side dishes!

    Such good food and wonderful service!! Came with my mom and our server Joelle was so sweet. It was packed when we came in and we can understand why. The restaurant its self was super clean and cute. Will definitely be back!!!

    5-/4+ Naju Tofu is the kind of low-key, family-run spot that Fresno was missing for a long time. It's got that authentic, cozy "mom-and-pop" energy where the focus is entirely on the quality of the food rather than a flashy interior. The flavors are deep and savory--you can really tell they take the time to build their broth bases properly--and the spread of side dishes is fresh. While the menu is a bit on the pricier side and the wait times can be a little long, it's easily some of the most comforting food in the area. If you're looking for a solid, high-quality meal that feels homemade and leaves you full, this is a top-tier choice.

    Beef Tofu Soup (Medium Spice) with LA Galbi Short Ribs
    Michelle C.

    We have been wanting to try Naju Tofu, and unfortunately the experience didn't quite live up to expectations for being the first Korean tofu spot in Fresno. We ordered the beef tofu soup with medium spice, but it didn't have much of the classic gochugaru or gochujang flavor you usually expect from soondubu. The medium spice level also tasted like it had almost no heat at all. The beef seemed to be marinated in a sweeter sauce, which threw off the overall flavor of the soup, and the broth itself ended up tasting more peppery than spicy. For the banchan, the kimchi unfortunately tasted a bit too old and over-fermented. The japchae was actually the standout and probably the best dish we had, nicely seasoned and enjoyable. We also tried the galbi, which leaned heavily on the sweet marinade and lacked the smoky, savory flavor you'd normally expect from Korean galbi. On the positive side, service was quick, and the food came out fast. Unfortunately, the flavors just didn't quite hit the mark.

    Food: probably they best Korean Food in Fresno. Their squid is my favorite and it's not too spicy even though it's so red. Heaping portions. And they give refreshing bonchon(side dishes) that come with your meal +refills! Service: a little on the slower side because there seems to be only one waiter for the whole store but when the food comes out, you forget all about it. Ambiance: a little cold inside but they play kpop which I like!

    Made reservations for a Saturday at 6:30 PM, probably not necessary, but better safe than sorry. Finding the place was a little tricky since it was dark outside and there's no lighted sign, just a banner. Once inside, though, we were greeted warmly and seated right away. There was one large party and about 4-5 other tables occupied. Now for the food, definitely the highlight. I ordered the Oxtail Tang and added rice cakes, my husband had the Galbi Tang, and my daughter and her friend each the bulgogi entree. The banchan came out first, and everything from the kimchi to the cucumber was delicious, crispy, crunchy, and well-seasoned. The oxtail soup was rich and comforting, with fall off the bone meat and clear noodles that were so good. On a rainy evening, it was the perfect meal. The Galbi Tang was just as impressive! Tender, flavorful meat and a clean, satisfying broth. Both were served with a side of rice which made the whole meal very filling. Overall, this was such a great find. I'd definitely come back and look forward to trying other dishes next time!

    I came in for a late lunch on Saturday. It was reassuring to see they're still busy after 1PM. Even though they were busy, the restaurant was clean. Service was very friendly. I love tofu soup but don't get it often because of food allergies. I ordered beef tofu soup (plain/no spice). It was delicious! It was still boiling hot, as expected, and it was nice on a cold day. It was still very flavorful. I loved it. I'm sure I'll be back!

    As someone who lived in the bay and tried amazing korean food, i was so mad to find out fresno has close to zero options. After finding this place i truly got my korean food fix! The best i've found in fresno!!

    Terra beer. Pretty ok. Nothing to write home about, but it's nice to have a Korean beer with your Korean food.

    Ok let me start by saying that I didn't know what to expect when I came here. It is a total hole in the wall, but our server was very attentive, friendly, and fast. He did an amazing job! Now let's get to the good part. The food is absolutely incredible. We had the bulgogi and the seafood pancake. They were delicious, but the sides really were the stars. The Kimchi was phenomenal, I personally loved the pickled onions, and my wife could not stop eating the cucumber. I would gladly come back here any time. Everything was excellent. Go here.

    Located in a strip mall, but the inside is nice and comfortable. A/C in 100 plus heat holds up with revolving fan. Feel bad for the one and only waitor/server/cashier. He was sweating but kept the friendliness and cool. Deserves a raise. Food was surprisingly good and tasty. Seafood pancake had mostly onions and not much seafood but it was hot and delicious. Will come back when weather is nicer to try the bone broth and stone pot rice.

    Bibimbap, seafood pancake
    Annika G.

    Naju Tofu is bringing delicious Korean food to northeast Fresno, and I'm here for it. While the menu may look a little pricey at first, the food is definitely filling, and I had leftovers after this meal. I've tried their bibimbap, dolsot bibimbap, seafood tofu soup, bulgogi, and side dishes. Everything is cooked fresh, and the veggies really shine in these dishes. They're well seasoned, crunchy when needed, and absolutely add vibrance to each dish. The servers are kind and quick, and the restaurant itself is relatively spacious for the relatively small amount of room they're working with. I've already returned once and it's already in my rotation as a regular dining spot for friends or casual lunch dates.

Dishes are $15-$20 compared to $20-$30 at most other korean places in town and the banchan is really good. Like really good. The kimchi is saucey, spicy and a little sweet. I can't confirm it's made in house but considering how yummy it is and that they used to sell their own kimchi when they still had the market I will assume it is. They've been around foreverr and I respect the pricing and Im rooting for them But with that said... I ordered the bibimbap and the flavor was good but the rice was soggy, creating a terrible texture that didnt crisp at the bottom of the bowl despite it coming out sizzling. I couldn't finish the rice. I don't believe this is a regular issue so I won't hold it against them. This is where it will turn into a bit of a blog post. If you haven't been here then this part will offer no value. It feels like as time goes on I am more and more disappointed. Like, 15+ years ago they were a market-restaurant hybrid. Eventually they eliminated the market and were just a restaurant. Bummer. Previous to this last visit, they had a self-serve banchan station. So good. So many options. SSS best in town and the reason I came back. They've swapped it out for a self serve malatang. I'm devastated! So, now it's one serving of three banchan and one of them is literally salted peanuts. That and the soggy rice really ruined the experience but I don't want my review to be clouded because I miss the good times. They're doing what they need to do and I highly value the commitment to reasonable pricing without letting the quality of the food completely deteriorate.

    You know, coming from years of LA Korean food and then Bay Area Korean food, the Korean food you…read moreget from Korea Mart just doesn't hit. What I mean is that there is something about the Korean food made here that just tastes a bit different than what you'd otherwise get or expect from a more traditional and authentic Korean restaurant. That said, Korea Mart seemed to start off as a Korean mini market, with a small focus on prepared meals. That may have gained some popularity and the owner decided to shift their focus more towards the prepared food and less on the mini mart. The problem is that the prepared food, while focuses on traditional dishes, just doesn't taste traditional. There is something off about the dishes. For example, the Jajamyun's vegetables were very off. It lacked zucchini and the cabbage wasn't enough. The kicker is that the onions weren't even diced. The onions were in big chunks-which actually works sometimes, but made the dish feel lazily and hastily put together. Then, the tubboki was too saucy. Flavor wasn't too bad, but was too saucy. Finally, they refuse to give you an itemized receipt until you finalize payment with a tip? They charge $2 for rice when they don't advertise it anywhere and they ask how many you want without telling you, and rice isn't an extra charge in most Korean restaurants. Just overall pretty disappointed. But then again, Korean restaurant in Fresno was probably a "my bad" decision. Oh well. As for ambiance. It felt like you were eating in the back of a mini mart. Super dark from the outside gave it a weird vibe.

    This place has been in my regular rotation since they opened and I have never had a bad meal here…read more The concept is a family style hot pot restaurant where you cook your own protein, vegetables or noodles in a flavored brother. You can pick between 1 and 4 different broths per pot. Each table has one cooking stove top, with the larger tables having two. The broths range from vegetarian to mild, to spicy to meat based. Everything is a la carte with the exception of some premade combinations bundling a variety of like items. There's various meat and veggie combos as well as a seafood combo. I always order the veggie combo which comes with a lot that's easily shareable between 4 people. It comes with various greens, mushrooms, cabbage, corn on the cob, cauliflower, and carrots. I don't eat red meat so I stick to their sliced chicken breast or the shrimp balls. My other favorite is the bean curd sticks which is a good meatless protein option. As for broths my two favorite are the Chinese Healthy Herb and the kimchi. I also like their salted crispy chicken appetizer (popcorn chicken). Steamed rice is also a must for me. They have a dipping sauce bar where you can make your own dipping sauce to accompany your hot pot. With the exception of the broth adding flavor, the meats and all the ingredients you add to your hot pot are unseasoned. It includes everything from soy sauce and fish sauce to garlic, fresh chilis, vinegar, and crushed peanuts. Whether you like to keep it simple, mild, or spicy there's a sauce you can create. The ambiance is pretty nice. It used to be a Chinese restaurant years ago and they did keep some of the things the same. They have 3 different TVs inside. The two larger ones on the walls each play a different Kdrama and the one above the register plays Kpop music videos. They do have one larger table that I think accommodates somewhere between 10-12 people (don't quote me on that) and another that can fit 6 or 7 people. Majority of the tables sit 4 and a couple sit 2. Depending what day and time you go, it can get pretty busy and you might have to wait a while. The staff is always friendly and helpful. At the end of the meal they give you orange slices and hard guava candy. Their orange slices are always so good too and a good palette cleanser at the end.

You can go to the sauce bar and add sauces and other ingredients to personalize the flavor of your broth. Most people in our group enjoyed their food. I personally did not, but that's probably because I haven't figured out how to make my hot pot taste good! You can also ask your waiter for more broth at any point during the meal if you need a refill. This was only my second time having hot pot, and I think I've officially decided that it's just not for me!
