Remodeled
Gelin Cara T.

This place is tucked away in the corner of a very small strip mall, but it is quite the gem. The food coming out is definitely not what I expected from a place in this location. I can see parking getting crowded if all businesses around were busy. Food - SO GOOD. Regular chicken bowl with broccoli and white rice - First off, I like that they serve the chicken naked and sauce on side. That way, you can control your amount of sauce. Their sauce is homemade and delicious! It compliments the super tender chicken. It wasn't dry at all. I also think this is the ONLY chicken bowl I've ever had that had a larger chicken-to-rice ratio! More protein! Their side of mac salad is delicious as well! It's not drenched in mayo and has just the right amount of bite to it. I can tell the macaroni wasn't overcooked and soft. Ambiance - When coming in, the lady at the front was taking call-in orders left and right. So that may be the key to it. But they were all very friendly. I definitely recommend this place and will be making it a regular go-to spot for when I need to get takeout for lunch during work.

Regular chicken bowl with Asian slaw

Delicious, quick, and healthy! Service is very friendly and I can tell they have many regulars. You order at the front and food is ready in 5-10 minutes. You can also order ahead which I noticed many patrons did. I ordered a regular chicken bowl and made it spicy and added Asian slaw on top. This is such a good weekday meal if you're unable to cook and want something nourishing. The regular was massive and I saved half for later. I will be back to try their other options!

Favorite little chicken bowl place! It's a small business, but they are great at what they do. I frequent this place typically on my lunch break from work and have never been disappointed. The portions are reasonable and fairly priced. My favorite would have to be the spicy chicken bowl and white rice combo. The chicken is never greasy or fatty and the spice is a medium level heat (and i'm not great with spicy) so I think this is a good amount of heat. The kimchi is also worth trying it is some of my favorite. I prefer this place over bigger names in the chicken bowl game, and I think so will you. Must try!

(+) Spicy chicken bowl The chicken bowl is a casual, hole in the wall, fast food restaurant that specializes in chicken with an asian fusion twist such as yakisoba and korean tacos. If you're in the mood for chicken and rice, this is the place to be. Food: I ordered the spicy chicken bowl, which came with just marinaded chicken on a bed of rice. The chicken itself wasn't too spicy or overly flavorful. The dark meat chicken is very lean and there is no fat or skin attached to any of the pieces I ate. Service: My bowl came out in about 5-7 minutes and it was steaming hot. The owner I believe was kind and easy to talk to. I would say I haven't had the full experience of the menu, but I will definitely be back when I am in the area. My initial impression is great, and tasted great enough to eventually ease my way into the chicken bowl again.

Quick service and solid food. A good option in the area for a lunch pickup spot. The side dishes do not have a lot of flavor and I found the mac salad to be pretty bland. Spicy chicken was pretty good!

An affordable and healthy meal choice in the Montebello area. There's actually a lot of chicken teriyaki places around the area, but I find what makes them distinct is the freshness of the ingredients and the affordability of the meals with the portions that you get with it. Although I usually don't consider chicken+rice a cheat meal, but the food here makes me feel like I'm actually eating clean. Yay for eating and feeling healthy! The place was remodeled from the first time I visited back in 2017 and it can seat around 6 people inside. Unfortunately, no public restroom for customers though! || L O C A T I O N || -located on the corner of Washington Blvd. & S.Montebello Blvd. -Same plaza as 7 Eleven and next to Doughnut Makers. -Parking lot is quite small and the spaces are quite tiny. It may be difficult to find parking during peak hours. || F O O D || Chicken Bowl ($ 5.48+$0.50 for veggies = $5.98) I was surprised with how much chicken was packed in the bowl, and I liked how healthy it tasted. Barely any taste of grease and chicken was tender. Price is really good for what you get. Chicken & Beef Plate ($10.96) - Comes with a choice of 2 sides (macaroni salad, kimchi, steamed veggies, miso soup, or green salad). The chicken was great, but what blew me away was the beef. Don't judge the beef by its appearance, but it's actually not bland at all. It's very flavorful but doesn't taste like it was dunked in heavy seasonings or sauces as I would usually find in most bulgogi. It wasn't overly salty or sweet and was just the perfect amount of seasoning. After trying the beef, I would definitely like to try the tacos for my next visit!

Half and half bowl. Super good

Still Our Favorite Tofu Spot -- Had to Bring the Family This Time!…read more Of course we had to come back to our favorite tofu spot, and this time we brought the family for a belated Mother's Day dinner after raving about this place nonstop. Best part? We saw Shelly, our favorite girl that works here! She's always so sweet, kind, and welcoming every single time we visit. It honestly makes the experience even better when you're greeted by familiar friendly faces. We came around 7:30 PM and the wait was only about 10 minutes, which honestly wasn't bad at all considering how popular this place gets. Service was quick, efficient, and the food kept coming out fast. Plenty of tables inside, so it never felt too cramped. This time around we ordered: * Jap Chae * Bulgogi with Beef & Seafood Tofu Combo * Spicy Pork w/ seafood & beef combo * Teriyaki Chicken w/ seafood & beef tofu * Bulgogi with All Seafood & Beef Tofu Combo And of course... the unlimited refills of the banchan are always one of the best parts. Honestly, sometimes I think I could make a full meal out of just those alone. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and exactly why we keep coming back every couple of months. I will say the prices have slowly been creeping up little by little each visit, but honestly, we still enjoy it every time. Still our go-to tofu spot and definitely one we'll continue bringing family and friends to. Happy eats!

It made me do a double take after not visiting for a while! A few things worth noting: - The entire staff is incredibly friendly and efficient, making the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. - Thoroughly enjoyed all the banchan. Take advantage of the complimentary refills! I liked the kimchi so much that I bought a large container to-go. I've been eating it daily ever since. It's on the sweeter side, not totally tart. Don't sleep on the raw squid either! - They've introduced two naengmyun options, one spicy and one non-spicy, just in time for summer. We tried the non-spicy version and my family enjoyed it. They use a chicken broth base and it was light, refreshing, and surprisingly addictive. - I love that they offer a beef and octopus soondubu (generous portion of octopus!). Most places only have a beef and seafood combination. Between the flavorful banchan, refreshing naengmyun, and attentive service, Young Dong Tofu has firmly worked its way back into my rotation.

We ordered the ribs, bulgolgi, chicken katsu, and purple rice. It was perfect and we shared it among the 4 of us. The sides too were perfectly spicy. It was a great meal to share with friends. The service wouldn't be the driving force for coming here. The food and company was and I would definitely want to come back.

The service is superb and they were very generous with all the banchan that they brought out - which we are super grateful for! My favorite was the seaweed mixed with cabbage and the cucumber. For the entre, we ordered the ginseng chicken soup and the combo mushroom soup with bulgogi. Total bill came out to be $72 with an 18% tip included in there. Ginseng chicken tasted great and healthy. Tofu soup was good as well. The bulgogi was a bit sweet but that is expected. Overall, we all enjoyed this place and would definitely come back again. Plenty of parking as it shares a plaza with other shops (Daiso, sushi place, Jersey Mikes, bargain market, etc..). There are some strange people hanging outside so just be cautious about that going at night.

I wanted to introduce my gf that lives in the area to tofu soup and this one was nearby and the only one in the area so we decided to give it a shot. It's odd for myself as a Korean American to go to a Korean tofu soup spot and there are no Korean speaking front of house members. I saw maybe one Korean ajumma in the back of house and that's it. Here's what we ordered: **Beef Tofu Sou (Medium Spicy): Easily one of the worst tofu soup (soondubu) I've ever had. First off, when I added the egg, the soup wasn't boiling so the egg didn't cook through. The soup base hardly had any spicy kick. The soup itself was very bland and had no authentic soondubu flavor. (1/5) **BBQ Short Ribs: The galbi was not that hot when it was served. It was very fatty and mostly bone. I do not recommend if you're looking for authentic galbi. (1/5) The banchan selection was very poor. The service was decent in the beginning but once I was ready for my check, it was really hard to flag anyone down. If you're looking for authentic Korean style tofu soup, I do not recommend. If you're catering towards a less flavorful Americanized tofu soup then this may be the spot for you.
