I understand the hype now and the hype is real! After hiking with one of my gfs, she suggested…read moregrabbing lunch here since its one of her current favorite Korean restaurant. She mentioned the only thing is that we need to get there right when the restaurant opens which is 11AM or we will most likely have to wait for 1.5hrs. So we cut our hike short and was the second party in-line. I wanted to try everything on that menu but decided on the mixed tofu soup + braised kalbijim. I like our entrees but the star of the show is definitely the ban chan. They had this one particular radish that I couldn't get enough of, I would go back just for the ban chan. I had many tofu soups in my life but the one of here is so different. It's not homey but just very elevated. Actually, all their dishes were elevated. The kalbijim cuts of meats were super tender and well worth the price. We also order the shrimp kimbap to go and that was also amazing. I will definitely come back to try this place but maybe with a few more friends so we can order a variety of dishes.

This Daeho location definitely feels busier than the others -- the wait can run 1-2 hours! We put…read moreourselves on the waitlist and hung out in the car. Pro tip: when you get in, you order first before being seated, especially the kalbijjim since it takes a long time to make. The kalbijjim, of course, is the star of the show and never ceases to amaze me. The veggies inside are flavorful and tender from marinating in the sauce for hours, and the beef is fall-off-the-bone tender and plentiful. It's expensive, but worth every penny -- and with the cheese torched on top, it's just perfect. We also got the bibimbap and steamed mandu, japchae, and they were amazing too. Service was great -- attentive even with the crowds. There's street parking, but 3rd Ave is busy, so your best bet is the parking lot nearby. Come hungry and be patient -- it's worth it!

This is easily one of our absolute favorite places to go when we don't feel like cooking dinner…read more While we've noticed that their galbi jjim has declined over the years--becoming noticeably sweeter--their soups have kept us coming back. These days, we go for the seolleongtang. Our top picks are the combination seolleongtang and the yukgaejang (spicy brisket soup). The combination soup is rich, hearty, and feels like drinking pure liquid collagen. If you're craving something with a kick, the spicy brisket soup offers a much deeper, more savory, and flavorful spice profile.

I've eaten here multiple times, and the quality has been consistently excellent. The meats are…read moreincredibly fresh, tender, and full of flavor, especially the premium cuts that are grilled right at your table. The banchan is fresh, plentiful, and pairs perfectly with the BBQ. The service is attentive and professional without feeling rushed, and the restaurant has a modern, upscale atmosphere that's great for date nights, celebrations, or dinner with family and friends. While it's definitely on the pricier side, the quality of the food, presentation, and overall dining experience make it worth it. If you're looking for one of the best Korean BBQ experiences in the South Bay, 10 Butchers is an easy recommendation. I'll definitely be back!

Place was decorated to be more of an upscale place with darker color interior. Seated at one of the…read morebooths and it felt somewhat cramped. Service was excellent, kind of. The server cooks the BBQ for you. Initially it felt awkward with the waiter parked at our table giving us practically no privacy. when the table next to us were seated and the waiter bounced back and forth between the two tables, it got slightly better. Had similar experience in Korea but there the waitress would give us space and only stop by for a minute to set things up or to flip the meat. The banchan was great. One good thing with the waiter being there all the time is that getting refill of the banchan was easy. The meat quality was top notch. I would skip the samgyeopsal and try the pork jowl next time. Yes, pretty sure we will be back. The one disappointment was the mul-naengmyon. When in Seoul, one of our best meal was cold naengmyon with BBQ. The soup was so refreshing, it was just amazing. Not here. It was practically dry. Thus the 1 star deduction. Tipping practice was POS thingy that was left on the table, waiter stepped away. Very nice. It is expensive, but I think it is worth a visit or two, particularly for special occassions.

One of the most popular K-food restaurants in the Bay Area, and their food is always a 10/10!…read more I've come back here so many times because all of their soups are so comforting, especially the galbitang - my absolute favorite. It feels just like a warm hug in a bowl! Their cold noodles, both spicy and non-spicy versions, are refreshing and perfect for cooling down summer heat. We also almost always order the mo deum soo yook for extra protein. It's a combination plate with boiled beef brisket, tail, and tendons. You will have to season them yourself with salt and pepper, but beef is always so soft and tender. I highly recommend ordering this only if you're dining with a group of 3 or more because the portion is huge! After finishing your meal, they'll serve you a yakult, super yummy and great for digestion (super thoughtful of them) They're busy and almost always have a waitlist, especially during peak dinner hours. From my experience, the longest I've waited was about 45 minutes, but normally it's only around 20-30 minutes. There's a boba shop nearby where you can grab a drink while waiting. Overall, I have nothing to complain about with this place. Try it once and you'll understand why everyone loves it!

interesting experience today…read more.. most of the pieces of meat in my galbi tang had way more cartilage than usual. i tried to cut it off but did not really help much as it was very chewy. noodles were also overcooked and supeeerrrr chewy. banchan sizes were really small, especially for 2 people. I am really surprised at the portion we received being way smaller compared to what i typically get when i doordash or order for take-out... and i order take-out from here every week or two! my friend got hounded for a tip in the parking lot after paying which was really off putting. at first they said they couldnt read what he wrote. then, when he clarified- she took about 5 minutes begging for a tip in the hot sun... the thing is- he didn't want to tip as we didn't receive any service at all. all they did was just take our order and give us our food. no check-ins during our meal. they took away our water before they even took our card to pay.... it all felt super rushed near the end. out of all the times I've had take-out from here, this dine-in experience missed the mark for us. debating on if it is worth it to come back. very disappointing as this was my friend's first time trying this place and he drove all the way from east bay!

We arrived at the restaurant around noon and were told there'd be a 20-minute wait, so we popped…read moreinto a nearby café for coffee first. Perfect timing -- by the time we finished our drinks, our table was ready, so the wait didn't feel long at all. The menu had so many tempting options that it was a shame there were only two of us to try everything. Next time I'd love to bring more friends along so we can order more dishes to share. The service was wonderful -- our server checked in on us throughout the meal and was genuinely friendly. The plating was really creative too. The eggs were cooked to perfection, and the chicken & waffles combo was such an inventive pairing -- very Instagram-worthy. Overall, a really enjoyable meal. Can't wait to go back with a bigger group!

Quick take: consistently good…read more My brother and his girlfriend love dining at Tofu Plus when they visit the bay area. I love their Banchan. Everyone was happy with what they ordered. Last seating is at 7:45pm during the week. The restaurant closes at 8:30pm during the week. Weekend hours are a little bit longer. It's a very casual dining experience. Great place for an interactive meal.

The food is good, taste very authentic Korean food. We love getting the seafood and beef tofu soup,…read morethere's a lot of protein and tofu. The side dishes are also very good. Today we had a tomato one that was very refreshing. They also sell the side dishes in the front, we did buy the tomato one, $10/box. Service is okay, after you get all the food, they don't really check in with you. They just pass by to see if you are almost or done eating to give you the check. Compared to other Korean restaurants, the servers usually check in to see if you need refill on the side dishes. Could just depend on the days? First time I went they had someone push a card with all the side dishes to refill but the second time they did not.

The staff assisted us with cooking the brisket and the galbi came prepared on a sizzling plate. All combos come with unlimited sides and the servers made sure all of our side dishes were stocked at all times. I love how the set also comes with a choice of white rice or korean fried rice plus cheese corn. For an additional $10, we added bibim naengmyeon to our order which was super refreshing. You can also add a soup to your meal for $9. Although this set included two choices of meats, it was more than enough for my party of 2. All this came out to be under $100 which is so affordable considering the quality of the meats! The side dishes and appetizers were superb as well. Good amount of customers for a weekday dinner. This place is great for small or large parties. Very spacious restaurant and the servers were super kind and attentive. I'll definitely be coming back!

The foods were good but I do not like the services here at all…read more There are 4 Korean restaurants in the same plaza which kinda weird because they all serves almost the same atmosphere. We came here around 5:30PM so we did not wait for a table of 5 at all. We wanted to order the package B which comes with 3 protein of choice with add on ramen and cold noodles but they refused to let us order package B but insisted us to order package C which comes with 4 protein of choices. I and my niece don't eat meat so package B was good for us. There are 5 of us but 2 of us don't eat meat, we basically eat the banchan with the sauces. I do not like how they handle the situation at all! I clearly told them I don't eat meat so package B was good for us and they refused. We can not finished with 4 protein for package C which had a lot of left over afterward. The galbi was $9 add on more which the portion are small and over cooked! The grilled chicken was okay, the pork belly and the beef brisket overly thin slices below average quality. The best part of this was the banchan they were given, the potatoes salad was delicious. The hot sauce was very good. I just add all the banchan with white rice and hot sauce to make the best Bibimbap ever. The cold noodles were excellent just like how it tasted in Korea. When my daughter gets up to pay for the bill, they expected us to tip them 18% instead of 15% because there are were party 5 of us. You lucky that we even tip you 15% while we felt the services was horrible! Overall, I like the foods here but the service was not right!
