    Bulgogi
    Peter D.

    Absolutely love the idea of having a Korean restaurant inside of a food court. There's plenty of options to choose from at this mom and pop shop. My dad and I ended up choosing the bulgogi set. The meat was pretty juicy and the Banchan refills were unlimited. The Korean mom working at the establishment was super nice and she made sure everyone was full by the end of our meal. It was definitely refreshing to not feel rushed trying to leave our space. I will definitely recommend this place for those who want Korean food in a more casual space.

    I was trying all other restaurant vendors at the President Square Food Court. I said why not try Omma Tofu House, too. Btw, I do love tofu soup! Great to see this option at a food court. Tofu soups come with a variety of protein of choice such as beef, pork, seafood, etc. You can make it a combo by adding on another item such as sizzling plate or bibimbap or whatever else they have. Banchan of 4 items come with each meal. Prices were average compared to other tofu soup houses. I ordered the pork tofu soup + bibimbap for my eldest daughter. I got the seafood tofu soup + spicy teriyaki chicken for me. My daughter loved her pork tofu soup meal. YUM! I enjoyed my seafood tofu soup very much. Banchan was great. Gotta eat the bean sprouts quick otherwise it may get spoiled. Unfortunately, I had to toss out my bean sprouts. I ate everything else though. Good stuff! As for the bibmbap and spicy teriyaki chicken, we haven't gotten to them yet so we can't comment... they look good so I'm sure they are good. Staff was okay. Service was decent. Timeliness of the order readiness was a bit on the slower side, but then again, they were super busy so it's understandable. Wi-Fi reception could be better in this area. Shared seating are inside the bright and clean food court. Restrooms are available. Free parking at the President Square in Arcadia. Great place to grab some hot and delicious tofu soup meals on any day. Come by and try them out! I'll be back to dine-in for sure. Take-out experience is usually not the same as dine-in experience. Got to try them both. See you here!

    Located inside the President Square Food Court, this spot shares a parking lot with the complex and offers complimentary water/tea, which was a nice touch. I ordered the Beef & Seafood Tofu Soup with purple rice. It came with a generous spread of side dishes: bean sprouts, a seaweed-onion mix, kimchi, fish cake, and potato salad. Compared to other tofu soup spots, the food was okay- not bad, but not memorable either. For me, the broth didn't quite have that comforting, "Omma-made" homey flavor I was hoping for. It leaned more toward salt and spice rather than depth. I also felt there wasn't much meat in the soup, and the shrimp tasted a bit off. That said, the tofu itself was cooked nicely and had a good texture. I did enjoy some of the side dishes, and the staff member who took my order was kind. This is very much an order-at-the-counter, seat-yourself kind of place, which works well for a casual meal.

    I loved this spot! The tofu soup was perfectly salted with just enough spice for a "medium" but I think i'll go for spicy next time. The bibimbap and pork was delicious and a generous size for the combo option. The banchan options were great. The service was kind and the pricing was fair and similar to competitors. We waited around 20 min for our food as it was peak dinner time but it was okay because the dried food stall worker came around with some free samples (perk of being located in a food court).

    Spicy Squid and Galbi combo
    kelly n.

    Found this hidden gem in a food court that still has my favorite spicy squid. I ordered a few dishes to take home. This Korean place exceeded every expectation. The spicy squid was exceptional--delicately tender with a balanced, flavorful heat. The presentation, freshness, and seasoning were all top-notch. The side dishes were all delicious and the portions were generous. If you love bold Korean flavors, this spot is a must-try. I'll definitely be back

    My favorite Korean tofu place near by house. It is conveniently located in a food court at a plaza with a supermarket, so there is usually plenty of parking. I have been here multiple times and I ordered the Beef Tofu Soup and the combination (Beef Tofu Soup + Bibimbap). The combinations are pretty worth but I have only tried the bibimbap one so far. For the tofu soup, you can choose different levels of spice and I chose the not spicy. And for to-go orders, I always ask to have the egg added inside. The tofu soup broth is very good and there is a good amount of tofu but the amount of beef is a bit sparse. They also give some side dishes which is free refill if you dine there. The side dishes are good and I especially like the fish cake and bean sprouts. For the bibimbap, its a good assortment of vegetables but it doesn't come with rice so it's good if you get it with the tofu soup. The tofu soup is cheaper than if you eat out at an actual restaurant. I usually get it to-go and I really like how their containers are eco-friendly. Just a note, they also let you choose purple rice which is cool and I always opt for this option with my soup. Totally recommend if you're in the area!

    My go to spot after work when I'm hungry and want an affordable filing and nutritious meal. I. The 99 ranch plaza food court, so plenty of parking available. "Secret" purple rice is here, but you have to ask for it for those in the know. Depend on my mood but I get like a beef tofu soup and sometimes the Galbi combo to share if I'm hungry. Other times when it's hot outside I come here for their cold noodles, as it's close to home and hits the spot without having to drive out to k-town.

    Since I'm in the food court at 99 Ranch in Arcadia and my sister wants some Korean tofu soup, we ordered from Omma Tofu House. You get some Korean side dishes and piping hot Korean tofu soup, which is ideal for a cold day. I wish there were more Korean side dishes, and the tofu soup was tasty and satisfying. Reasonable price, plus there is no need to tip because it is located inside the food court.

    Travis P.

    Fantastic Korean Tofu soup especially for being in a food court. If you get sit in you'll get everything you would get at a sit down restaurant on a tray like the hot bowls for the tofu soup etc. Loved that they also come with all the side dishes as well which was pretty plentiful. This is what I ordered. Spicy Pork and Tofu Soup Combo - This was such a great deal and the pork and tofu soup was delicious. Can't go wrong and price was cheaper than other spots. (5/5) Oyster Tofu Soup - It was great, very reasonable price and oysters portions were pretty generous. Great flavors. (5/5) Solid spot for delicious food in the food court. Also that means you can bring your own drinks or get different food that might fit your needs. We ended up returning the plates to the stall after finishing so a lot of self service.

    The perfect comfort meal for a rainy day inside a food court plaza! We ordered the extra spicy beef tofu soup, mild mushroom soup, and seafood pancake. The soups came out still hot and bubbling, which allowed us to crack in an egg to be poached perfectly. The soup was deeply flavorful, and was well complemented by the sticky purple rice (they give you the option of either white or purple!). The seafood pancake was one of the best I've had in the SoCal area, with super crispy edges and loaded seafood. Many seafood pancakes are too doughy or soft, but Omma Tofu House really blew me away with the generous portion, definitely worth the price. The side dishes, which included fish cake, kimchi, seaweed, potato, and bean sprouts also paired well with the hot food. We waited about 15 minutes for our food, which was not a problem considering other soup shops were very busy that day given the weather. The shop is tucked away in a corner of an indoor food court that shares a building with many other eateries, businesses, and Ranch 99. Parking was quite easy in the large outdoor lot. Would definitely be back again!

    It is indeed an ummas kitchen. The owner is friendly and speaks English and Korean fluently. Definitely felt like going to ur neighborhood or aunties house for some Korean food. The tofu soups have really great flavor and very decent for being small ran and in a food court. The nakji and ojingeu bap is uber delicious and didn't know but she said I could request it spicier (as I grew up eating that dish burning my mouth) which was nice to know. It was flavorful and good. Will be coming back as it's hard to find outside ktown. Self serve water which is great because if I wasn't so full I would've definitely added some hot tea or water on top of my neurungji made from the hot plate. Will be coming back

    Just had a very fantastic dinner (take-out). We ordered beef short rib soup, seafood noodle soup, and rice cake & dumpling soup. All were so tasty. I really liked the rice cake soup, my daughter really liked the seafood soup, and my husband really liked the beef rib soup. Yum-my! Only afterward I realized I didn't get pictures...

    T4. Seafood and Beef Tofu Soup
    Rachel L.

    We visited this spot on a Monday afternoon at 12 PM. It is conveniently located in a food court with easy parking. Vibes were extremely casual as it was in a food court and service was adequate For our meal, we ordered the mild spicy seafood and beef tofu soup along with a bibimbap combo. The soup arrived piping hot and was accompanied by a generous selection of banchan. The bibimbap was also hot and fresh as well, served in a traditional stone bowl. The pricing is comparable to other Korean restaurants, which was surprising given the casual setting of a food court. I would've expected slightly lower prices. Despite that, the food was of quality and definitely satisfies a craving for korean tofu soup.

We dined-in, and we ordered the mung bean pancake, boneless chicken with soy garlic, and half chicken with honey butter. Total was $45.27 (including tax, before tip). While waiting for our order, we were given pickled radishes and the sauce for our mung bean pancake. I really enjoyed the pickled radishes, they were nicely sweet and sour. It took around 10 mins for our order to come out. Mung bean pancake: I absolutely loved the mung bean pancake. It was my first time ever trying it, and it was so crispy and yummy. I love mung beans, so it was great. By itself, the pancake is great, but the sauce that came with it elevated it. It's also a huge portion too! Half chicken with honey butter: This was so crispy and juicy! The honey butter flavor is so unique! I do think it's a bit too sweet for me, but I enjoyed it still. Boneless with soy garlic: I enjoyed the soy garlic flavor more than the honey butter! This was very crispy and tasty too, but not as juicy as the half chicken. Overall, everything was so delicious. All of us enjoyed it! I do prefer bone-in chicken, so I'd probably just get that the next time I come here. I definitely would get the mung bean pancake again too. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

It's been a few years since my last visit, and they did a complete remodel. The restaurant looks completely different now with a clean, modern look that feels much more updated than before. While the service could use some improvement, the food was definitely the highlight of the meal. We ordered the galbi and seafood tofu soup combo, the bulgogi and seafood tofu soup combo, and the new cold noodle. The galbi came with six pieces and was cooked perfectly. It was tender, flavorful, and paired well with the seafood tofu soup. The combo also came with four banchan: bean sprouts with sesame oil, kimchi cucumber, kimchi, and seaweed. Everything was fresh and complemented the meal nicely. The bulgogi and seafood tofu soup combo was just as satisfying. The bulgogi was well seasoned, and the tofu soup had plenty of seafood with a rich, comforting broth. We also tried the new cold noodle, which came in an icy chicken broth with shredded chicken and buckwheat noodles. The owner recommended adding a little vinegar, and it completely brought the dish together. It added just the right amount of brightness, and the broth became incredibly refreshing. It ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the meal. The food here is honestly the reason to visit. It's very close to the quality you would find in Koreatown, but without having to deal with the headache of Koreatown parking. That's a huge plus if you're in the SGV. The ambiance is modern, clean, and comfortable. Even during our visit, it wasn't overly loud, and we were able to have a normal conversation throughout the meal. Service was just okay. The staff seemed overworked, and it looked like they could have used more help. The one server who came around to refill our banchan was incredibly sweet and friendly, and we really appreciated her attentiveness. Unfortunately, everyone else, including the owners, came across as a bit short with customers and not particularly welcoming. It didn't ruin the meal, but it was noticeable. Parking was easy thanks to the large free parking lot shared with the other restaurants and 168 Market, making it much more convenient than trying to find parking in Koreatown. Overall, I'd come back for the food. If you're looking for solid Korean comfort food in the SGV without making the drive to K-town, Young Dong Tofu House is definitely worth checking out. The remodel gave the restaurant a fresh new look, and hopefully as they settle in and add more staff, the service experience will improve because the kitchen is already doing a great job.
