I came here on a weekend evening with a few people. Since it was a hot day, we ordered some cold noodles, and we wanted to try their tofu soup. For the cold noodles, it was pretty refreshing and a bit light in flavor. It came in a icy vinegary broth with noodles, half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and some pieces of galbi (short rib). Also had option of adding more vinegar and/or mustard if you wanted. The noodles were chewy but that's how it is, recommend asking for some scissors to cut the noodles if it's hard to chew. For the spicy buckwheat cold noodles, it had much more flavor, had a gochujang base, and thicker. It came with half a boiled egg, pickled daikon and pieces of galbi. For the tofu soup, we got the chicken and mushroom which was fine. In addition, the sides were good as well. Service was good. read more

Love that this is open until 11:30pm, not a lot of places are open this late so was hoping to find a good late night spot. It feels very homey inside, and we were seated quickly. We ordered the beef soup and the appetizer short ribs, which is about 6 pieces. The sides were good, special shout out to the warm jjapchae! The short ribs came out sizzling, and had a great char with a sweet soy sauce flavor. Meat was tender and had the perfect chew to it, such a comfort meal with the rice. The beef soup came boiling, and there was a generous amount of beef, mushrooms, and tofu. The only complaint I have is the soup ratio was less than what I'm used to so about halfway through the pot there wasn't much soup left to pour onto the rice the way I normally do. But that's not a bad thing, means you're getting more protein! Service was great, but it's a bit expensive from what I'm used to so I docked a star. I'll check out other places and see if this is just the normal pricing for the area. read more

Excited to learn there was another SGD Tofu House closer to me than Milpitas (where we tried and loved it). But disappointed to learn they had entirely different menus and policies. I just wrongly assumed they were all the same chain! Here there was only one banchan serving for 3 of us. They were tasty and we gobbled them up but then we felt bad asking for more (however we did finally ask and did get a refill). At the other location in Milpitas, everyone gets his/her own bento plate with individual banchan. Positives: Service was good and food was pretty tasty Negatives: Prices were high and the menu was lacking (wanted a simple bbq chicken but none to be found). Also the meat portions were super skimpy (eg in the pork belly kim chi dish). Restaurant was pretty small but we had no problems getting a seat right after opening on a Saturday for dinner. read more

The tofu soup was kinda tasteless until I realized more than halfway through that there was no salt, so I asked for salt and added it and that made it really good. I don't know if they forgot to add salt or if it's supposed to be like that but usually if it's meant to be salted by the customer they would provide the salt without having to ask for it. And I've only experienced that with Seolleongtang, not tofu soup. After adding salt it was really good, but by then most of it was gone. Service was slow, it was busy and only like 2 people were working at the front of house read more

OK dinner experience. Two of us ordered: beef tofu soup mild $21.95 dolpan bibimbab $25.99 Definitely on the pricier side. Food comes out hot. Some of the sides are oddly oily (like the japchae and fish cake). Plenty of parking in the plaza. read more

They do not have Seafood Pancake! Let's start with that - because one of the recent reviews I saw listed that they had one with a photo and I was craving for a Seafood Pancake. (Unless there's a special way of ordering one?) It's all good, I also wanted a soft tofu - I got the Combination Mild. Service was friendly and quick. The banchan was tasty and plentiful - they do refills, I only asked a refill for the fish cake. I came in right at 5 PM when they opened, so it was easy to get a table. The place got pretty busy quickly - so I imagine this place to have a line during peak times. I will return to try the other dishes read more

We love a Korean restaurant which is generous with their banchan portions and refills. Came here on a weekday night, and it was surprisingly packed. Luckily there were 2 open tables, so we were able to be seated right away. The two Korean ladies working here are the kindest. 1. Dolpan bibimbab - comes out sizzling on the stone pot. Meat was tender, and the gochujang always ties the dish together. 2. Rice cake dumpling soup - generous portion, although there could have been more shredded beef included. The broth was hearty. I feel like this dish would be taken to the next level with some noodles like kalguksu inside. 3. Tofu soup - soon tofu always soft and delicious. The bite of rice dipped in soup is always my fav. I will say, inflation has definitely hit SGD a little, but nonetheless, the food is still as comforting as ever. A cozy winter meal. read more

Fish Roe Soon Tofu (알 순두부) that stays clean, rich, and silky If you're looking up SGD Tofu House San Jose, Korean soft tofu soup, or fish roe soon tofu near Saratoga Ave, this branch is worth your time - especially if you order the Fish Roe Soon Tofu (알 순두부). SGD is a chain, but each location has its own "calibration." This Saratoga Ave location's calibration is clear: the fish roe tofu soup is dialed in. The Fish Roe: likely cod roe - and it's handled correctly The roe here comes in small cut pieces/clusters (not blended into paste), which reads like cod roe in both texture and flavor profile - but the key point isn't the species name. The key point is quality control. A lot of fish roe dishes in the Bay Area fail in predictable ways: * that stale refrigerator / freezer odor (the "kept-too-long" smell) * dryness that turns roe crumbly and loose * texture that goes chalky instead of creamy This one avoids all of it. No fridge/freezer smell. Not dry, not "shreddy," not crumbly. Fine, silky texture with a rich, rounded umami. When you bite into the roe, it doesn't explode. It releases gently - a warm marine aroma and a clean savory finish that melts into the tofu instead of fighting it. That's what good handling tastes like. Spice level matters: order Mild Spicy Do yourself a favor: order mild spicy. At higher spice levels, capsaicin flattens nuance. At mild, you can actually taste: * the roe's natural salinity * the creamy tofu * the broth's depth without turning everything into pure heat White rice is the correct pairing here This location serves white rice (not purple rice like some other branches), and for fish roe soon tofu, it works. White rice keeps the palate clean and lets the roe's umami stay audible. You get a tighter roe-to-rice rhythm - simple, precise, comforting. Banchan note Banchan is generous. The fish cake here leans a bit oily/glossy - not a dealbreaker, just a branch-specific style. If your goal is fish roe soon tofu in San Jose, this Saratoga Ave SGD does it properly: clean aroma, controlled texture, and a broth that supports instead of overwhelms. You finish the bowl and the aftertaste stays warm and savory, not fishy. That's the difference. - Dr. C Certified Roe integrity intact. No freezer degradation detected. Silky tofu + clean marine umami = correct. read more

On a cold cloudy day, I walked in to get me some spicy Kim Chi pork tofu soup. SGD has several locations in the South Bay but this one is a small shop on the edge of the Lion shopping center abutting highway. Bon chon is fresh and delicious. Be careful not to get too full and spoil your appetite! When the tofu soup is delivered, it is piping hot! This is ideal because there is a raw egg you have to put into the soup, and it needs to be hot enough to cook. As expected, the soup was hardy and really hit the spot, but I wish there was more pork. All in all, an excellent choice for tofu pot lovers. read more

SGD Tofu House is located in the same plaza as Lion Market. The parking can get challenging during peak hours. The restaurant offers a couple of tables for outside seating, but primarily the seating is inside. It can accommodate a couple of large parties of 8+ people. Korean House music. They offer beer, soju, and other drinks. The banchan is fresh and flavorful! It consisted of Kimchi, spicy mung bean sprouts, spicy pickled cucumbers, japchae, & seasoned fishcake. Soft Tofu with Fish Roe & vegetables (mild). A comforting and nourishing stew. The service was attentive and welcoming! They are open fairly late on Monday to Saturday until 11:30 pm. So, it's nice option for a late night meal. On Sunday, they are open until 9:00 pm. Support your local business. read more

SGD Tofu House has become one of our go-to spots for Korean comfort food in San Jose. It's tucked away in the far corner of the strip mall, so it took us a minute to find it the first time, but with tons of parking, getting in is never an issue. We've been here a few times now and the food is consistently amazing. Our usual order includes the Seafood Tofu Soup, Kimchi Beef Tofu Soup, and the Seafood Pancake. My wife loves their Short Ribs too. Everything is flavorful, comforting, and served piping hot. Their homemade kimchi deserves a special shoutout. Definitely phenomenal and honestly some of the best we've had. Service is friendly overall, though they can get a little irked if you show up late at night (fair enough they're winding down). Still, they take care of you. One small tip: if you need refills on banchan (side dishes), ask for everything at once instead of making multiple small requests. Great food, easy parking, and a solid spot for tofu soup lovers. We'll keep coming back! read more

SGD tofu house always delivers amazing and warm comfort food. Came here after a night out and this definitely hit the spot. Raw marinated crab was flavorful, spicy, and a bit sweet. Gloves were provided and goes so well with rice. Stone pot bibimbap had a bunch of fresh vegetables and a side of gochujang. The crispy bits at the bottom of the pan are my favorite. Any of their tofu soups are a must! read more

Came here late after 9pm for dinner and there were still several tables of customers here. The staff is mostly one no-fluff man, he gets us everything we asked for but is a man of few words. I do hear him explaining things when customers don't understand something on the menu. He works hard. The food is really good, I have no complaints. The banchan (side dishes) are fresh and good. We loved the kimchi, still very crunchy and not too fermented yet. I was recovering from a cold so I got the combination beef and seafood soup non-spicy (white) and it was really good. The stonepot beef bibimbap came on a stone plate instead of the bowl which was the first time I've seen it like that. I love the addition on burdock at this location. read more

Probably 3.5 stars in absolute. I went away satisfied, so bump them up instead of rounding down. Appetizers were not numerous, that's OK. But mostly lacked the spiciness I expect from Korean restaurants. This part is a meh. Appetizer short-rib was well seasoned and perfectly grilled. Modestly bedded with just onion, not fancy yet delicious. Bibimbap (dolpan, or stone pot) was excellent. As expected, lots of veggies on top of a rice bed that's perfectly charred (yes, that's a good thing) and some well flavored beed (optional). We mixed ourselves and did not add the hot sauce. This was the high-light and earned them the 4th star. Tofu soup came boiling. Seafoods ingredients were mediocre, sauce (medium spicy) was delicious and well flavored. The menu was small and lacked green onion pancake. They appear to specialize in Seafood Rice Cake (abbreviated as SRC) and we did not try. Overall, good experience. Price slightly on the high side compared to other Korean places. read more

I had lunch at SGD Tofu House today, and it was a pleasant experience. The place is cozy and not fancy, but clean and comfortable. I'm not sure if the couple working there were the owners or staff, but they were attentive enough, just not particularly warm. There are plenty of tofu restaurant around, but I think this SGD location on Saratoga Avenue stands out. It felt cleaner and more consistent than others I've tried. They offer 12 different tofu soup options, and the side dishes were fresh, flavorful, and generously refilled without us even having to ask. We tried the fish egg tofu soup and Kalbi both were satisfying and well prepared. Overall, the food was tasty, the space was somewhat old but clean and the service was decent. No issues at all. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for comforting Korean tofu soup. read more

Showed up on a Sunday night right around the time they opened. The places filled up rather quickly after. I have to say -- I absolutely love their banchan. They tasted super fresh and refreshing, and we gleefully got refills for them. My combination tofu soup had a bunch of beef and seafood inside, and it also comes with an egg. Not the best tofu soup I've ever had, but it was flavorful and filling. My friend really enjoyed his dolsan bibimbap. The food here was solid, and I would definitely come back to try their other offerings. The service was fine. It took a bit of time to flag them down towards the end, but that makes sense since there were big groups seated as well. read more

Have tried the blossom hill location and the food there was good aware that each SGD tofu has their own menu, my dinner here was worth the table for 2 to sit at a 4-top! We ordered a feast of kalbi, Kimchee and pork belly, and dumpling soon tubu (tofu). The side dishes with glass noodles and tempura fish cakes additional kimchee and beans sprouts completed the spread! Nice service we sat as soon as they opened and the food was worth singing a song about. Yes we ordered literally for 4 so we took home our leftovers and each had enough of everything which i fully enjoyed just as much! I will return anytime anyone of my friends is craving Korean food, and I enjoyed this interior dining experience even tho there is a nice sun-drenched side of the building (before the sun went down), it was a really nice dinner that we didn't need to travel all the way to sunnyvale for! read more

It's giving nostalgic home cooked Korean food. There was definitely a wait, not bad, but about 20 mins. I loved their seasonal cold noodles and their spicy soft tofu soup is a must, whether for yourself or a shareable you have to try it!! The vinegar cold noodles are so hard to find in the area, especially done well. They add a couple pieces of galbi on top and let me tell u, it tastes like heaven. They cook their meat perfectly, fall off the bone, finger licking good. I never eat all the meat around the bones at restaurants because it gets kind of messy or it's just too tough, but this was an experience I've never had with that type of meat. read more

Nice cosy interior with good assortment of banchan. They were quite enjoyable, the bean sprouts and fish cake were my favorites. The soft tofu soup was good and came served with an egg and bowl of rice. Nice and hot, very comforting for a cold day. The bite of kimchi with rice and soup was perfect. We had the kimchi and pork tofu soup, I would choose something else next time. It wasn't quite sour enough in my preference. The seafood pancake was not the typical type I've had, this one was quite crunchy and filled with lots of oysters. Personally wasn't a fan of this one, but it paired very well with the sauce accompanied with it. read more

A pretty solid place for Korean food. I come here when I'm in the mood for soon tofu! My favorite is their Dumpling Soon Tofu. It has pork dumplings, soft tofu, and vegetables. As with soon tofu, they give you a raw egg and bowl of rice as well. The meal always feels so comforting yet balanced! I love their selection of banchan! The side dishes change from time to time, but they consistently have a really tasty kimchi! I've also had japchae, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and fish cake, which were all delicious as well! Another go-to items is their Seafood Pancake! Arrives on a hot plates, so it stays hot throughout your meal. It contains a good amount of seafood, and the edges are always nice and crispy. Served with a savory dipping sauce that pairs so well with it! I like that they offer additional late night items in the evening from Pocha too! read more

I think the food was very average. Not bad but nothing that I would continue coming back for. My friend and I are both vegetarian, and they were very accommodating! I got the bibimbap and asked to sub meat with tofu. Again, nothing special but no negative notes to give either. I would choose to go to tofu plus or danbi instead just cause the food is better and cheaper. read more

*3.5 stars if I could. Ambiance: It's a small place in the very corner of the plaza so it's very easy to miss. They have some outdoor seating . It's hot inside but that makes the mul naengmyeon hit harder. It seems to be a popular but casual date spot for couples. Service: Overall service could have been better. They seemed understaffed for the hot weather, because it took a bit longer than normal to get the food after ordering but maybe it was just an off day. It was hard to get anyone's attention for water refills which is very rough for hot days. Food: * Mul naengmyeon (cold noodle summer special) (3.75/5): I like the portion of galbi they give you along with the noodles. I've never seen a tomato garnish on the dish before though, so it took me by surprise. On the other hand, I personally really didn't like the amount of sesame seeds they put on top but I was sharing with my dad and he said he didn't even notice them. I just thought it interfered a lot with the clean broth; since there were a lot of seeds, they got stuck in my teeth too. The broth and noodles were just kinda standard but refreshing. * LA Galbi (2.5/5): My family and I also ordered the normal portion of LA Galbi for the table, but I sadly forgot to take a picture. There are so many better places to get good quality galbi though. It's cheaper than most places but not by much. For like $5-10 more bucks, you can get MUCH more tender, flavorful, and less fatty at other places. The pieces we got were really tough and just overall disappointing. My brother didn't even want to eat it because of how tough it was unfortunately. * Medium Combo Tofu Soup (4.75/5): Tofu soup is the best thing they have on the menu here. Medium is the perfect amount of flavor and spice for normal spice tolerance. If you're on the weaker side like me though, maybe opt for the mild but you sacrifice so much flavor so I don't think it's worth it. I just eat big scoops of rice with each bite to cool down. Eh amount of meat but good portion of seafood. I would only return for the tofu soup during the colder seasons. * Beef Dolsot Hot Stone Bibimbap (2.65/5): The pot was more like a plate so it didn't do well at staying hot. Also, it wasn't hot enough to begin with because the rice didn't cook at all at the bottom, so we missed out on the yummy crunchy rice that should be at the bottom of every dolsot bibimbap sadly. On the other hand, the vegetables were fresh and yummy on top. There wasn't that much meat at all though which was unfortunate. * Banchan (3/5): Very standard, very average. Only 5 banchan which makes me sad but the kimchi was decent. Overall, pretty forgettable though. read more

We were a big group trying this for the first time. We waited about 15 minutes for our table and then we were seated. The ordering process was quick and we all were given our food in a timely matter. I ordered the tofu soup and it was very spicy, definitely on the salty side but still really good. This place is definitely on the pricier side but overall pleasant. We ordered rice cakes that are not pictured but those were a favorite on our table. The only compliant I'd have is that they were trying to get us out of there as quick as possible. read more

Clams and head-on shrimp were a nice touch. Solid Korean food with a line out the door. However, it's difficult to say there's anything special about this place. Since it was so busy, a server handed our table the check the second we were done eating, which I found to be a tad bit rude. read more

I've never been to this location before, but it's tucked away in a corner around the nearby Asian market. This place had a line before the store even opened. The overall restaurant has a nice homely atmosphere and quick service. Since it was a cold day I opted for the seafood tofu soup and a bibimbap to share with my family. We waited around 25 minutes for the food and it all came piping hot. The seafood soup has clams, small shrimp, soft tofu, and comes with an egg on the side. The soup came with a side of rice and it was nice and filling. There were some shells that somehow escaped into my mouth but it's so minor it could be overlooked. The bibimbap was tasty and had a good amount of veggies and protein. The side dishes really complimented the food well, especially the bibimbap. This place offers raw marinated crab which I was unable to order this time around. I'll definitely order the next time! read more

This was my first time at SGD tofu house and it was a pretty good meal. We were craving soondubu jjiggae (tofu soup) and this was the only one open late at night. It's a small shop, but fits a good amount of people. I got the beef tofu soup and it was delicious! Flavor was there and you get a lot of filling in it. More meat and tofu than soup. The raw marinated crab was so spicy, so be wary of that. The spicy squid was okay, there seemed to be more onions than squid which was a little of a letdown. Service was quick and our server was very accommodating. She was helpful in recommending items and adjusting things as needed. Overall, if you're looking for a late night tofu soup spot in the SJ area, this is a good option! read more

Consistent. So flavorful. Quality service and clean. Solid. I've had a chance to dine here a few times for lunch and also compare it to the one in Milpitas. We like this location much better. My toddler loves their ddukguk--it's super rich and flavorful (and very peppery). They come in two options, just rice cake or a mix of rice cake and dumplings (same price). Both are delicious and the portion is huge. I also love how much stuff it comes packed with--eggs, onions, green onions, shredded beef, and half an egg. Their mul naengmyun is also my favorite! Love the rich flavor of the broth and that it comes extra slushy. They put a whole slab of galbi on top (cut into three pieces), and pack it with all the essentials (cucumbers, sliced radish, and sliced hard boiled egg. One unique topping is the sliced tomatoes, which goes surprisingly well with everything. And, of course, the spicy mustard. My other favorite naengmyun is from 10 Butchers; but this one is more affordable and very generous in portion. Super refreshing and satisfying. Spicy raw crab: SPICY and extremely flavorful. They're very generous with the yangnyum (sauce), which also tastes great mixed with rice. It's way too spicy for me to eat a lot of but it's too good not to eat. Soon dubu is also better than some of the other places we've tried (Seoul Tofu, Jang Su Jang, etc)--packed with a good balance of the classic fillings and flavor is on point. Appreciate how much seating there is inside and out. They also have a few high chairs for children and offer plastic utensils for kids, too. Service is always great and the food comes out FAST, which is great for families with impatient children ;-). Highly recommend. read more

The icy soup was so fragrant and tbh it didn't require too much additional mustard or vinegar. It also comes with galbi and half an egg.

If you're craving tofu soup don't even think about it and come to this SGD tofu house, specifically this location. We got a tofu soup and a bimbimbap both were delicious and reasonably priced. The banchan was so yummy we kept asking for seconds. This location just hits different than the other SGD Tofu houses and guaranteed to hit the spot every time.

I was happy when I found that there was an SGD Tofu House closer to where I currently live (as opposed to Santa Clara and Milpitas), so I was eager to try the place out. Over the years, I have come to this location a handful of times as, again, this location is relatively closer to me than the others. Sometimes, I have come with friends for dinner while other times, I've ordered take-out to go. The service is lukewarm - while they aren't overly friendly, they are quick and efficient at getting your order and getting things out to you. The few times I've dined in, it was a little hard to get their attention, but once you do - requests were completed in a short time. I don't mind the service, as we got what we needed. My go to orders are the dumpling tofu soup and the seafood pancake. I find that they make the pancake here softer than I like, but the soup is usually good. It's pretty quiet inside with the usual restaurant noises - great for conversations and not overwhelmingly loud. The few times I've ordered to go - the food always tasted good. It's a little hard to communicate my order sometimes as I like less tofu in my tofu soup (odd, I know), but they try to accommodate as best they can. One of my favorite banchan is the potato, but this location doesn't seem to give it out - at least the last few times I've ordered to go. While this location is closest to me - I tend to drive a few extra minutes to the Santa Clara location because of the consistency there. While the food/service here is usually good - it's not always consistent. read more
