Food - so good!! All we ordered tasted so good! Best kimchi also! I have a feeling they make their own kimchi! I tried kimchi in diff Korean restaurants and they're all the same! But this restaurant is diff. Tasted way better! I wonder if I can order kimchi only and bring it home! Service, very good and attentive. Friendly also. I left my left over and one of them went to my car and gave me the bag. The ambiance was good--warm, inviting, and relaxing. The atmosphere made the whole experience even more enjoyable. read more

The two times we've been here have both been disappointing due to poor service. Food is a 3.5-4 stars but service is a 2. This time we ordered the tdeokbokki, bibimbop, spicy pork bbq, the kalbi, and fried chicken. The kalbi was our favorite-juicy meat with great flavor. Bibimbop was solid too. The tdeokbokki sauce was a little watery which watered down the spice slightly. The spicy pork was super salty-wouldn't order those two again. We were eating for awhile like our adjacent table for our fried chicken. Their order finally came and we thought ours was next. We'd already been there almost an hour. We'd already eaten everything else and were starting to pack leftovers. Waitress brought the bill and it still had the chicken on it. We mentioned we didn't get the chicken and if she could remove it. She said okay and walked away, but then returned to say it was "almost ready" and if we could just take it. We said fine assuming it'd come out right out but it was maybe 15 min later. We thought we'd eat it there but then it was already packed and the container stapled. By the time we got home it wasn't as fresh anymore and flavor wasn't good-sauce just tossed on top versus chicken being coated in it. Their Freeport location is consistently good for both food and service. Would pass on this location. read more

Came in as a party of 6 for Sunday dinner and was able to be seated right away. We got: - Yangnyum fried chicken - super saucy and great portion size for the price, some of the pieces were huge - Seafood pancake - very good portion size for our group but wish there was a sauce - Beef & seafood tofu soup - tasted standard - Galbi - tasty but pretty pricey for the size ($12 more for dinner than lunch) With this came 3 bowls of rice and loads of sides. This is probably the top Korean spot that I've been to that has given SO many banchan and all very diverse ones at that. Note that they don't refill your banchan unlike other spots that do. The bowls of rice were also much bigger than we expected since other spots typically give smaller bowls of rice so the 3 bowls that came along with our orders were sufficient for our group. Service overall was subpar. Some of the waitresses were nice but not super attentive. read more

This is my goto Korean food place. The foods are so authentic and the insanely delicious banchan makes me come back again and again. Service was excellent since we came right after lunch at 3:00pm, there was only another table that just finished. I like this location on Falsom because there are more parking. read more

Dinner at YD tofu house today is delicious! This place is forever busy! The restaurant is full of tables and always packed! We had the beef bulgogi and beef tofu soup.. so many banchan covered our table after we placed our order. The beef bulgogi was delicious! So much flavor! The tofu soup was great! It was what I was craving for. The rice was omg sticky and great! And their new rice bowls were so fun! Came like a whole pot of rice! So cute read more

Been going here for decades. I was so happy when they opened one closer to me, off Freeport. However, many will argue that the one on Folsom is better and has more options. None-the-less, this is probably the best Korean restaurant in the area. I recently tried the Sundae, which is blood sausage. I got it at the Folsom location and loved it. My other favorite dish are their grilled fish and bossam. read more

The menu has a wide variety of dishes. But decided to try the bibimbap. It came out sizzling. It was a pretty generous portion size and flavorful. There was also a big variety of side dishes.

I've dined at YD Tofu House with a large party several times and they served up delicious food while taking good care of us. I've also had a couple of experiences where we didn't care at all for the dishes we ordered (ox tail soup, for example). Overall, though, their food is spot on: fresh, seasoned nicely, and flavorful. I love their banchan dishes, too. Service is generally fine but minimal. Ambiance is casual with a good-sized dining room area. Their menu has an extensive number of selections. If you happen to arrive during a busy time, finding parking can be challenging. read more

One of our fave legit korean food resto. We just very hungry after work and we decided to go here again. We tried this last year and again it did not disappoint. Most of their side dishes are unlimited and free refills. They have free cold water which is nice. You can only have 1 free rice and the rest you have to pay. We ordered our fave korean chicken. Its juicy and crispy as always. The sauce too is soo good. Our favorite galbijim is one of a kind. Little too slow for our orders to come but overall still good. read more

Overall it was an average experience. Inside was very nice and spacious. Plenty of seating. Was directed to a table quite quickly. Was given a menu and had my order taken quite quickly as well. They had a nice variety of banchan, which tasted fresh and quite nice. I ordered the beef and seafood tofu soup spicy but it wasn't that spicy to me. They crack the egg into your soup for you at the table which is nice. Overall the food was average. The included a nice variety of protein in the soup but it just wasn't special. Would come again if my main places aren't open. Large variety for menu which is nice. read more

This location is always a solid choice for Korean food. The menu features classic dishes with reliable, comforting flavors, and they offer a great assortment of banchan that complements the meal nicely. My husband and I ordered the Chadol Sul Lung Tang (Beef bone soup with brisket), Donkatsu, and Haemool Pajeon (Seafood pancake). Each dish met expectations and was satisfying across the board. We visited on a busy Friday night, and the service was great. We were initially seated next to a loud group, but when we asked to move, the staff accommodated us immediately. Our rice also arrived a bit late, and they noticed and corrected it right away without us needing to say anything. Overall, a dependable spot for classic Korean comfort food. Parking: Plenty of spaces in the strip mall where the restaurant is located. read more

There is a lot of sides and food is tasty. We've been to this location several times and prefer to drive here than go to the other sac location. The service isn't the best but they're not rude.. just not very attentive. We got the galbi jjim last time we went and shared between 3 people and it was perfect with a bit of leftovers. The meat was flavorful and soft. I haven't had a bad experience with the food here yet. read more

Came back and tried the brown rice dolsot bimbibap. 9/10. The hot stone is definitely worth it because it crunches up the rice to provide a different texture. I always add the gochujang into my stone pot to give it an extra spice! The staff are always so nice. I went on a Friday night and it was busy, but the staff made sure that we had ice water when we asked. read more

I love this place. I've been coming here for years and it's always delicious. The service is great and the employees are kind. I always order the beef bibimbap and it hits the spot every-time. The chicken teriyaki is good as well. They offer a wide variety of bonchon and are willing to refill any at your request! The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. This is one of my favorite restaurants in the Sacramento area. read more

The food was really good and the portions are worth the money; however me and my friends had the worst experience with the customer service. I know it's a Korean restaurant but when me and my friends asked a question about the portion our server Soon Ja gave us alot of attitude. Then while paying for the bill we saw that tip was already included, but our server expected us to tip more with cash. While signing the receipt she watched closely behind to see if we included tip, which we did not because of foul service. She lately asked a passive aggressive question, "No tip?". read more

It's been a while since we live an hour away +/- due to traffic, but we were craving Korean food from YD Tofu House -- a long-time family favorite -- and decided it was time. No regrets. We came for lunch on a fairly busy Sunday afternoon and were seated immediately. The ladies were quick and efficient with drinks and taking our order. We ordered the godeunguh gui (grilled mackerel), galbi (BBQ short ribs), and galbi jjim (braised short ribs with chestnuts, jujubes, and radish). Before the mains even came out, we were reminded why this place stands above the Korean spots closer to us: the banchan spread. They brought out 17+ banchan plus soup -- compared to the 5-6 dishes we usually get elsewhere. Every single one was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. And the mains? Every dish lived up to our memory and expectations. The mackerel was perfectly grilled, the galbi was tender and well-marinated, and the galbi jjim was rich, comforting, and deeply satisfying. We left completely stuffed, incredibly satisfied, and absolutely not regretful of the 2.5-hour round-trip drive. If you're anywhere near Sacramento and craving a tried-and-true Korean spot with generous portions, incredible banchan, and warm, friendly service, come here -- and come hungry. read more

I would say it's time for an update on YD Tofu House! This small business has 2 locations, the staff are very welcoming and sweet and recognize us when we come in! All of their food is authentic, my hubby is from Korea and it's his favorite restaurant! Not to mention they have great portions, we always have leftovers! ~Meal Review~ What we ordered our last visit, Goon Mandu, Pizza Kimchi Shrimp Dolsot, Pizza Kimchi Beef Dolsot, Dduk Gook and Samgye Tang. They have the best variety of never ending banchan and our 8 year old LOVES their fried dumplings appetizer! My husband loves the traditional rice cake soup and our toddler's personal favorite is the Cornish hen soup that reminds her of grandma's! As you can see both of these drool-worthy bibimbap flavors are very cheesy and delicious and come with gochujang! 5/5 Stars! I would definitely recommend this amazing, local restaurant and our family of 4 will continue to come back for our favorites! SYOY! :D *Song Credit: B.there.4.u by Jeff Kaale read more

Their banchan offering is the best in the Sacramento area. They offer 15+ side dishes and you can always request refills of your favorite ones. When I want dependable good Korean food- we will make the trek from West Roseville to eat here. The food comes out quickly, the offering of food selection is plenty and the prices are aligned with the rest of the competition in the area. Why not 5 stars? Their alcohol offering is ok. So definitely not a place to linger for drinking and dining. This place is extremely casual and the parking lot is small. So this place is NOT for ambiance, just for good food and on par service. You get what you get and you don't get upset! read more

Love coming for the Bossam, spicy chicken (I think it's best with the sauce on vs. sauce on the side), seafood pancake, and the banchans. The servers here are sweet, the food is delicious and taste and quality is consistent, and there's plenty of seating and they can accommodate big or small groups. They also have a location on Freeport and a ToGo spot on center parkway. read more

Came here around 7PM on a Friday and it wasn't crowded! We were sat right away and the food came out within 10-15 minutes. YD Tofu House gives out the most banchan I've ever seen - I think it was over 10 dishes! My favorite banchan was the japchae. I got the Beef Tofu Soup and Tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was your standard tteokbokki, but I really enjoyed the beef tofu soup! The beef was tender and it had enoki mushrooms! Most beef tofu soups I've tried do not have tender beef and enoki mushrooms like this one, so I would get this again. read more

I didn't expect much when I came here, but everything turned out great. Our server got us a table after just a few minutes of waiting. The space is small but clean, and the food came out quickly. We enjoyed everything except the seafood pancake, which I found a bit lacking in flavor. Otherwise, I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu next time I'm in the city. read more

We've tried the other location and haven't tried this one. We stopped in on a Sunday early afternoon. Not a lot of people so we were quickly greeted and seated. The ladies here are very quick to get your order and even quicker bringing the food out. We decided on ordering galbi and bulgogi. We didn't expect to also get a sea of banchan. And you ca get refills!! Everything was super tasty!! The meat comes out sizzling. Super full at the end. We like this spot over their other location because the parking is better. We'll definitely be back for more. read more

Took some coworkers for lunch and it was great. One of them had never had Korean food so she was both amazed and scared of all the bonchon lol. They now serve daikon soup with the lunch meal and also the rice comes in metal pot containers. The service was prompt and you just have to understand that they're too busy to dote on you. With that being said we never felt like we were being ignored. One of the ladies even ran over to help mix my Bibimbop when she saw me starting to mix it lol. Everything you order will taste delicious and fresh. Fav go to items are the Bibimbop, Tofu Soup, seafood or kimchi pancake, and bulgogi. Their jiges are also super delicious are huge portions. It's a very casual atmosphere and there's all walks of life eating here. This is still the OG place! read more

This place is so shitty! Just came here for lunch and the worker lady there was like, " today is holiday so it's going to be dinner menu...." like bs!!!!! Just because it's July 4th, you're gonna make your own rules and shit; and with no posted sign in the front to let customers know of your change!! Like if I know it's gonna be dinner menu only, I'm never going inside and wasted my time!! This place is so shitty, and last time they even pressure to give more tips like wtfggg!!! Never coming here again! I went to Doma restaurant on Folsom, like 5 minutes over and they're so much nicer and they didn't have the it's holiday so dinner menu mindset like this restaurant here. Don't support this business and go somewhere else. read more

About a week ago, I came here for my birthday. The staff was friendly. I loved the fact that they serve a large variety of banchans, which is the most I've ever had! There were a total of 18 different kinds of banchan/side dishes including spicy marinaded baby crabs which were one of my favourites. We ordered the seafood pancake (make sure to request for it to be extra crispy!), which was delicious! The galbi was super tender but we felt it needed a bit more seasoning. We also got soft tofu stew with seafood and beef, which was great! Overall, we would definitely come back again to try some of the other dishes. They've got quite an extensive menu so there's a bit of something for everyone. read more

YD Tofu House is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the Sacramento area. Although I've been to this location many years ago, I recently dined here a couple days ago. From the outside, it appeared dark and empty, however, once we went inside, the restaurant was bright and eventually filled with people. The best part thing about YD Tofu House is the abundant ban chan they provide! It was a nice variety, but I especially liked the japchae, kimchi, broccoli, spinach, and a few other dishes. We ordered the seafood pancake, tofu soup, and bulgogi. The seafood pancake ($19.99) was huge and delicious! It was so good, especially with the dipping sauce w/ jalapeños they provided. The bulgogi ($28.99) came out sizzling and smelling amazing. The meat was somewhat fatty, but full of flavor. The beef and seafood tofu soup ($18.99) was delicious and comforting during colder weather. The staff and servers were really nice and provided good service. The food was really good and overall a good experience! read more

Decent korean restaurant with a very wide variety of side dishes. Galbi-jjim was meaty and came with 6 large pieces of ribs with bones attached. The bulgogi was good, but the meat is a tiny bit on the dry side. The entire meal was filling, and worth the price! Service can be slow though. They're quite a busy restaurant but is clearly understaffed. read more

Love love love this hotspot! I'm already happy when your bonchons arrive on our table! My recent go to was the Tofu vegetable soup!

The menu is quite overwhelming but I always stick to my faves! It's always busy but never have to wait long for a table! read more
