    Beef original tofu medium
    Crystal L.

    They are consistent & consistency makes me come back. Kimchi pancakes back to being crunchy. Haven't had this in so long a recently came back. They have a new deal where it's a meat dish with tofu soup to share. Very filling and perfect to split amongst two or just have it yourself. The tofu soup is filling with lots of toffee and protein with a flavorful broth. Meat has a nice char. Service has been better and very nice. Will always come back.

    One of the few Korean tofu house in South San Jose. Lots of parking in this plaza if you're willing to walk. Very clean inside and staffs were very attentive. Menu is straight forward but the pricing is pretty high for what it is. We got the one soup combo with the kalbi (beef short ribs). It's really meant for one person but we were not that hungry and it was perfect for two. You get a small tofu soup bowl and a plate of kalbi. The sides here were also very delicious.

    #5 Mushroom Tofu Soup

    We had a precarious start to our SGD Tofu House experience. We arrived before opening on a Tuesday. Their front door was propped open to dry out their freshly mopped floors. Unfortunately, there was a guy sitting next to a garbage can smoking a cigarette and all that went right into the restaurant. Once we got in, no major issues. The staff was very friendly and got us extra plates and dishes so that we could have a family style meal. The food: Galbi - I thought the portions on this were very reasonable given we added this on as a combo. Meat was tender and had good grill flavor. Seafood Pancake - they have a version that is unlike any other version I've had. I thought it was non-traditional, but very tasty. The pancake is super thin. I don't think they use a traditional wheat flour and they're shallow frying for extra crispness. Some of my family didn't like it because they wanted crispy outside soft inside. Spicy Rice Cake (mild) with Chicken - My family doesn't eat anything above a mild. I liked the flavor, but could have used more heat if I was ordering for myself. Mushroom Tofu Soup - I think this was pretty standard fare Fish Egg Tofu Soup - For some reason we thought this was fish with egg tofu (which isn't even a Korean thing). So, when this arrived with a sack of fish eggs, we were a bit surprised. Cooked fish eggs are something that I will eat, but I don't particularly enjoy. They're a bit tough and mealy. They're also not very visually appealing (white veiny sack). Tip from the front door entrance - Senior Tuesdays, Bring a Senior and Everyone Saves 10% Off! Food was decent, service was excellent.

    This is a small hole in the wall place. The food is great and so is the service. The traditional Korean food is so good. They also have a lot of vegetarian options. Like all traditional Korean places they serve bon chon. The perfect start to your meal. The servings are plentiful so you will not leave hungry. I have been here before and it is as good as I remembered.

    Spicy BBQ Pork (D), SRC Bibimbop, Kalbi (D), #7 Fish Egg Tofu soup

    It was such a yummy meal! When ordering the bibimbop, they asked if we wanted cheese but we opted out. He came around with samples of it with the cheese and honestly wish we got it! It just combined the flavors so well so highly recommend! We came home with lots of left overs, it was so good and filling! Wished the kalbi came on a hot plate like most places do to get the onions cooked with the meat but still good nonetheless!

    Spam Kimchi Pancake

    The best Korean spot in the Bay! I've been coming here ever since I was little with my family and it's still so good to this day. I've tried almost everything on the menu and i've never been disappointed ever! My favorites include the bibimbap, kalbi, pancake, rice cake, tofu soup, and stir fried udon. The sides that come out before the food are all so delicious especially their kimchi. The restaurant has many seating options with the best customer service! The sweetest people who are very attentive and sometimes even give you free samples on the side to try new items. The prices are really reasonable as many other Korean places are pricey. The portions are very filling but if you go during lunch time, they have smaller portions and a great deal! Every dish is so flavorful and made with so much love. Korean food is not really my go to but this is the only place I enjoy eating at. Thank you!!

    combination tofu soup, banchan, and small seafood pancake
    Graschelle H.

    Delish! My roomie and I each got a soondubu (I got the combination tofu soup with mild spice) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great variety of tasty banchan too. We also shared a perfectly crispy seafood pancake and they don't skimp out on the seafood pieces. We ordered the small/regular, but the generous portion size was enough for leftovers. Such a hearty meal! The staff was attentive and welcoming, and offered to refill our banchan which was sweet! Overall, an unassuming establishment that lets the yummy food speak for itself.

    The new special sizzling platter.
    Cat H.

    Haven't been here for about six months and the place looks slightly remodeled. But the food is still the same, delicious. They have a few new items on their menu, which were very good. They have a bento box now and they have some cheese items that were fantastic. Service is always fast and friendly, and the Bonchon was yummy. I had my typical kimchi tofu, but my friend had the special with beef and cheese. It was just the right amount of cheese, not overly gooey. This is a great place with a great location and convenient parking. Prices are reasonable, and the food is consistently excellent.

    Perla Crystal C.

    This place is amazing! Food is great and service was amazing. We chose the Bbq & Tofu combo with a side of beef short ribs. We also loved the bonchons. We will definitely be back!

    Boiled Dumpling
    Julie S.

    We had a really nice dinner at SGD Tofu House. When we got there around 6 pm on a Friday, there were plenty of open tables, but they started filling up quickly. Also, there were a lot of people doing pickup orders. They have a big menu that features soft tofu soups and bibimbaps. My partner got the tofu soup with mushrooms and said it had a variety of interesting mushrooms. I got the house special SRC rice plate, which is served on a sizzling plate that cooks the rice until it's crispy on the bottom. The dumplings were just okay, probably would be better fried than boiled. This place isn't fancy inside, but everything was nice. The service was particularly helpful, making sure everything was just so.

    An eatery in a shopping plaza specialized in Korean cuisine. We visited there in a Tuesday around noon. We arrived there about 11:00 am and found that the place doesn't open till 11:30 am pronto. We would be their first customers. Orders were taken promptly and food came quickly. First was the seafood pancake. It was a deep fried style so it was really crunchy but I preferred the pan fried version. The BBQ (Kalbi) and tofu combo with mushrooms and the other combo with fish eggs were next to arrive and were Ok! The accompany beef ribs were tasty. The spicy rice cake with chicken was done properly. Portion sizes were adequate. Service was good. One note for potential customers, the place has a senior discount date. It's every Tuesday, senior and their party would receive a 10 % discount on their entire bill.

    29. SRC Bibimbap
    Daisy S.

    Solid Korean tofu house with tasty food and friendly service. My husband ordered the bbq beef stone bowl bibimbap at a level 7 spicy--personally, I'd say it was closer to a 5, but it was still flavorful and enjoyable. I got the regular bibimbap and found it a teensy bit bland. However, we both really liked their bbq beef and their veggies were fresh and well-prepared. The banchan was great! Nice variety and spiced up my meal. The staff were really kind and welcoming, and prices felt affordable compared to similar spots. There's only indoor seating, but the space is pretty roomy and comfortable. Overall, a great experience and we'd definitely return.

    veggie tofu soup dinner (medium spice)
    Lisa C.

    A longtime staple in San Jose! I'm long overdue in writing this because SGD Tofu House has been a go-to for me for years. It's one of those local favorites you keep coming back to because it's consistently good. The tofu soup is the obvious highlight, but my other personal favorite is the bibimbap- which always hits the spot. I also really appreciate that they have been adding new menu items like tteokbokki and braised short ribs. The banchan is always fresh and delicious, and could honestly be a meal on its own. If you're looking for authentic Korean comfort food, this spot never disappoints!

Lunch Special - $19.99 Rating: (8/10) The lunch special is a tofu soup combo. You can pick different combinations from the menu, but some choices are considered premium and come with an additional fee. We went with the spicy chicken and beef tofu soup. It came with a bowl of rice, and the portion was enough for two people. The chicken was a little on the dry side and the tofu soup was missing some depth of flavor, but for the price it was good enough!

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.

I was sweating, but it was very flavorful and I kept eating as the sweat dripped down my head. My friend ordered the chicken bibimbap, which SJ Omogari calls, "Chicken Ricebowl." That stone bowl was SUPER HOT! It was sizzling when served, and we could still see steam as she packed up her leftovers! My friend loved the crispy rice on the bottom. SJ Omogari is on the pricy side, but still worth it. Go!
