I was craving tofu soup and so glad this place opened nearby. We came here on a Friday around 6:30pm and seated right away. The interior and decor is beautiful! Loved the artwork and decor on the walls, tables and booths are super comfortable too. I ordered the seafood tofu soup and hubby got the chicken katsu with curry, we also ordered the fried veggie dumplings to share. I did see other tables get banchan before their food came but ours came at about the same time, it would've been nice to snack on something while we waited but it's fine. Tofu soup was everything I wanted, spice level was perfect (mild) and totally satisfied my craving. Hubby said the katsu curry was good as well. All food came out piping hot and the dumplings were good too. I think prices are reasonable for restaurant food nowadays and I like that there were lots of combos to choose from. read more

I went on Thursday 8/13/2026 with my BFF around 6:30pm. Before I go on take note that I hardly leave reviews and the couple of times that I have they were for discounts LOL! Also, I don't frequent many Korean spots so if this is how they roll then it just isn't it for me ‍ This review is for those of you who normally scroll right to the comments to help contemplate going or not..... Portion size......SMALL SMALL SMALL Soup......not authentic (taste like canned soup) Refillable sides.......good (Kimchi, carrots, seaweed, were yummy) Service......needs help Price......RIDICULOUS for the portion size Ambience......decent There was a guy sitting alone in front of me a few tables down....I couldn't tell if he was stuffed or disappointed however if he is reading this and felt like I did......I feel it too man, I felt it too!! read more

Finally a good Korean restaurant in the area! We got the clay pot bibimbap and the beef and tofu soup combo as well as the sweet and spicy chicken. We enjoyed everything including the side dishes. The servers were very nice and we were seated quickly even though it was busy. The only thing that I would pass on is the dessert pancake (Hotteok). It tasted like they just reheated something frozen which was disappointing because I was hoping for the light and crispy ones that they make on the streets of Korea but this was thick and hard. I have some frozen ones at home and they taste the same. Anyway, I am so happy I don't have to go the OC for legit Korean food. Totally recommend checking them out! read more

FINALLY, SOME KOREAN FOOD IN RANCHO ITS ABOUT TIME. no, I'm not talking about Korean barbecue... I'm talking about SOUP, nice, warm, delicious, comforting your-grandma-made-it-with-love SOUUUUP. I constantly drive to OC just to get traditional Korean food, ESPECIALLY tofu soup. First of all, it makes me feel healthy when I'm eating out so.... that's a plus. Second, it's freaking delicious. You will always catch me at BCD my butt is chronically in their doors. I need something to fill in that 30 mile gap in Rancho, and this place, definitely hits the spot. It's not going to be the greatest (to be fair i only tried the soup none of the other rib or noodle dishes) but the service is quick. The food is hot and the price is amazing considering that all the different meat options are the same price regardless. I get nice and stuff for 18 bucks, and it makes me feel a warm and cozy inside. I am definitely bringing my almond mom back here, her little health nut heart will be just as giggly and happy too :P read more

They still have a sign for soft opening. Inside- decor is clean and modern and aesthetically pleasing. Seated quickly and food came out fast. I ordered the combo of vegetables and beef rice bowl on hot stone with oyster tofu soup (medium). Spice level is perfect. And all the flavors tasted good and correctly. Food came out hot. Banchan selection is not as good as I'd like but flavors are good and they refill frequently without asking. Prices are high but it's similarly priced as other Korean tofu houses. Portions are slightly smaller than a similar restaurant in Diamond Bar and Rowland Heights. read more

Young Dong Tofu House is one of the newest Korean restaurants in the Inland Empire, serving authentic Korean comfort food with a modern atmosphere. The space is cozy, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and the menu has so much variety that there's something for everyone. Whether you're craving BBQ, tofu soup, or noodles, this is such a fun spot to share with friends. What we tried: Marinated Dumplings: 8.5/10 A great way to start the meal. They were flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Spicy Braised Beef: 9/10 Tender, rich, and packed with bold flavor. Definitely one of my favorites. BBQ Beef Rib (Galbi): 9.5/10 Perfectly marinated with a great balance of sweet and savory. So tender and delicious. Beef Noodle: 8.5/10 A comforting bowl with flavorful broth and tender beef that paired perfectly with the rest of the meal. Yellow Corvina + Beef & Octopus Tofu Soup: 9/10 The tofu soup was comforting, flavorful, and full of fresh ingredients. The combination of seafood and beef made it especially satisfying. read more

Came here for lunch with my family on a Friday. We were greeted and seated right away. We ordered quite a variety of items. Braised beef special - so flavorful and tender, kind of pricey though loved the burnt pieces on the skillet Beef rib- thick, good quality, great flavor and not too fatty marinated dumpling- surprisingly tasty noodles with beef - one of the best I've had yellow corvina combo with beef and octopus tofu soup - My son inhaled all of this and didn't really share lol Service was attentive and friendly. We received our food quickly and they offered to refill the banchan. The restaurant is bright, modern and aesthetic with lots of seating. Overall the food was very good, pricing was a little higher than other places but quality, service and portions were definitely there. read more

I enjoyed how spacious and clean the place was upon arrival! What better way to cool down in 100+ degree heat than to order a medium beef tofu soup :p It was extremely yummy and satisfying to my craving. The waiter was really nice, but I think the service was slower than anticipated because I raised my hand 2+ times when my friends & I wanted service. Another customer had to point out that we needed help. Overall, I would go back though! read more

We stopped in for dinner the other night. You will find ample parking available. The restaurant itself is quite charming, warm and relaxing. We found out it is family run. Mom and dad are in the kitchen and their daughter is working the front of the restaurant. We started off with warm barley tea, which I love. The bachan was so delicious. I loved the cucumbers that were more like a Japanese tsukemono. We got a seafood pancake. It was large and delicious. Filled with so much seafood and also not oily or greasy. We also got an order of marinated dumplings. They had a mochi-like texture but a little on the spicy side. So addicting and delicious. My friend got the rice with spicy seasoned squid stone pot with a ham and sausage tofu soup. The stone pot was so tasty and the egg on top was perfection. The tofu soup was really hearty with the ham and sausage. I got a yellow Corvina with a clam tofu soup. There were so many clams in the shell. They were so tender and flavorful. I love tofu soup and this one was really good. I never had corvina before but it was such a clean tasting fish. I couldn't stop eating it. Wonderful service and delicious food will make this your Korean comfort go-to spot! read more

Was happy to finally see a Korean chain restaurant move into Rancho. I'm a big fan of tofu soup, and their tofu soup is very authentic! The store is pretty spacious, and the interior decor is interesting as well. This is a pretty kid-friendly restaurant. They offer chopstick helpers for kids who need assistance using chopsticks. I went around lunch time during a weekday, restaurants were about 70% full. Only two staff members are working in the front during my visit, covering orders, cleaning, and payments. They were running nonstop, trying to keep everything under control. So when my cup ran out of water, I had to get the server's attention for more water. Overall, the food is great, service needs improvement due to a lack of # staffs available. read more

I'm excited Youngdong Tofu House is here in Fontana!!! I frequent the Chino Ca location ( not sure if they are affiliated) Ample parking shared with other local businesses in the area. Excellent customer service from when we stepped in the door, each employee with in proximity had a big smile followed by a pleasantry greeting. Beautiful Asian influence decor with bamboo slats on the wall and Korean traditional murals . Definitely order the spicy tteobokki had lots of flavors and the rice tubes cooked just right, this is one of my daughter's favorite dish and she was impressed . The seafood beef tofu soup was a bit milder in taste for our liking , it's lacking the savory flavor from the beef broth and umami from the seafood. Portions of the Banchan sides were skimpy at first, I understand why? Not many people like all the different varieties so a taste test to see which items you like best and can ask for more of that particular Banchan . Makes sense from being wasteful. We asked for our favorite Banchan and I kid you not, lol!! They were not stingy at all, The tiny dishes were piled to the rim. Yes we devoured three more times . ( disappointed the kimchi miss the mark for us, either it needed more time to marinate or needs more salty sour flavor. ) Galbi ( Korean beef short ribs cooked on a bed of onions on a sizzling hot stone plate . It is another one of our family favorite at any Korean restaurant we frequent. To make comparisons to other restaurants we had before, at this location the Galbi was a miss for us. ( Will try again maybe due to the soft opening faze and chefs need to fine tune their flavors) Our waiter was attentive with drinks and Banchan refills. She also noticed a mistake with our Galbi Korean beef short ribs order , what was brought to our table was a one/ two person size, we didn't received the correct family size portion. We did question amongst ourselves about the price and portion size lol!! Before the waiter made the correction and informed us they gave us a smaller size than what was ordered. Minutes later she brought us an additional plate of Galbi to make it a family size as our original order. Will we be back? Of course!!!! read more

Youngdong Tofu House - A new experience! Enjoying the tofu soup! - Asian Fusion Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Came here last week with my hometown/childhood friends, very happy with the experience :) We came on a Saturday at peak dinner (6pm) and were seated immediately! No waitlist that day My friends' entrees arrived IMMEDIATELY, we were so shocked at the speed! The tofu stew came a little later (still very fast: within 10-15 mins of ordering), which we joked was funny because it's their main dish but took longer than the proteins haha I had the beef kimchi soon tofu, and though I asked for mild I believe I might've gotten medium since mine was WAY more red than my friends' who also ordered mild HAHAHA we said it must be because I'm Korean and they assumed I could handle the spice! One of my friends had the corvina & clam tofu stew (mild). My other friend got the kalbi & octopus tofu stew (mild). The side dishes were good too! Staff were friendly and helpful! Our waitress brought out barely tea for us, and even brought us a plastic bag for my leftovers without us asking! read more

If you're craving Korean comfort food, Young Dong Tofu House is definitely worth a visit. Everything came out fresh and piping hot. The soondubu was rich, flavorful, and perfect if you love a little spice. The BBQ meats were tender and well-seasoned, and the seafood pancake was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and great for sharing. One thing I always enjoy is the variety of banchan that comes with the meal--it really completes the experience. The portions are generous, so it's the perfect place to come with friends or family and order a few dishes to share. There's plenty of parking, which is always a plus. 9/10 -- A comforting meal that never disappoints. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm craving Korean food. read more

It was our first time trying this restaurant (chain) and I've been seeing so many Yelp friends eat here! We decided to try it out on a Friday night, as part of their soft opening. Parking was in a lot with other restaurants nearby, with a lot of the spaces being occupied. We walked into the restaurant and were greeted by numerous people. We were immediately seated in the corner for a party of two. Two servers attempted to take our orders for beverages and food, but we had to tell both that we needed a few minutes. After browsing the menu, we decided to order their galbi combo with kimchi beef tofu soup. We sat there waiting for a while for the food to come out. Majority of the seats in the restaurant were occupied by large groups. The interior was nicely decorated with traditional murals and clean lighting. There were five side dishes come out with our rice. Forgive me for not knowing the names, but we had kimchi, pickled cucumbers, a cabbage salad, seaweed salad, and bean sprouts. We actually finished 3 out of the 5 side dishes since we were quite hungry while waiting for our food. Our soup finally came out, and we devoured half of it before our galbi came out. At this point, we still weren't checked on about refilling our side dishes. After eating most of our galbi, too, was when someone asked how our food was and we asked for a refill. Instead of a refill, we got 5 side dishes again, although we didn't finish the leftover 2. Sorry to say, we wasted that, when we wanted specific refills. The food itself was phenomenal. It's now to have good Korean food in Rancho Cucamonga, when I'd normally have to drive down to OC to get it. It's nice to have it open so close by. Understandably, the service was lacking. We were still chewing and enjoying our food when they gave us the check, seemingly wanting us to leave so they can be ready for possible customers. I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt since they are still working everything out, but I'm hoping service will be better when I come back again. read more

Heard about this new tofu spot and wanted to try it out. It was still their soft opening so there wasn't too many people and we got seated right away. Food was overall delicious. Banchan was good but the cucumbers and kimchi were a bit too pickled/vinegary for my liking. I got medium spice for my tofu soup which I think was the perfect medium because some places do not make it spicy enough or it's too spicy. The inside was really nice, spacious, and the booth seating was comfortable. And the servers were kind and attentive. read more

Dine visit - 4/30 during dinner time . First off the parking lot is huge , plenty of parking so you aren't fighting for a spot . It's in the same plaza as Red Robin & BWW.. next to JJ noodle house . Came in was warmly greeted and seated by wonderful staff with a smile . The decor & ambiance is so nice and clean & spacious . Saw a lot of Elders eating here so I knew right off the jump it would be phenomenal!! Ordered the galbi entree and seafood & beef tofu soup with purls rice and it came with ban chan. Everything came out fresh and sizzling with the refreshing side dusted to complete your hearty meal . Staff was super attentive and helpful. This place is definitely going to be my go to spot KBBQ when I don't want to grill anything and want just a hearty authentic Korean meal. Everything I ordered was so flavorful and perfect amount of seasonings. The side dishes were amazing!! I'd highly suggest coming here ... they are located on day creek & foothill close to Victoria gardens . I've gone to another spot by 99 ranch market which is good too but this new spot is the cherry on top . read more

First I just wanted to say THANK YOU for coming to Rancho... at one point we had about 3 Korean tofu restaurants until Covid practically nuked them. A lot of money and effort was definitely put into the interior decor and theming and I can appreciate that. The food and sides were well presented and the flavor definitely goes toe to toe with 626 and OC spots. The team is small but works hard. Please keep doing your best! read more

Picked up my girl from ONT and was craving for Korean Food and came across this on Yelp! Youngdong Tofu House...we had a wonderful experience! We came around 3PM on a Saturday and were seated right away. The service was friendly, attentive, and everything came out incredibly quickly. Our food arrived almost right away, which was especially nice since we were hungry!!! I ordered the Beef Tofu at medium spice, paired Rice with Spicy Seasoned Octopus. Everything was delicious and full of flavor. The tofu soup had just the right amount of spice, and the spicy seasoned octopus was a perfect complement to the meal. The ambience was warm, comfortable, and inviting, though they just opened not long ago, the combination of great service and delicious food made for a really enjoyable experience. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're craving comforting and flavorful Korean food. We'll definitely be back!!! read more

This Korean restaurant made me realize why we didn't see many Korean customers inside. The food wasn't completely bad, but the taste definitely didn't feel authentic Korean -- it tasted more like Korean food made by non-Koreans trying to imitate the flavors. If you are desperately craving Korean food in this city where there honestly aren't many Korean restaurant options, it can temporarily satisfy the craving, but don't expect traditional flavors. Service was also a bit awkward and chaotic. One staff member brought out side dishes, then another came over saying they didn't have enough side dishes left, which made the whole interaction confusing. It honestly felt like some of the servers didn't even know what Korean side dishes (banchan) were supposed to be. The hotteok was probably the biggest disappointment. It looked nothing like the photo on the menu and was so hard we literally couldn't bite into it and had to return it. Overall the place felt a little disorganized, though the staff did try. read more

Youngdong Tofu House in Rancho Cucamonga is such a great spot for Korean food. We tried the beef and dumpling tofu soup, beef short ribs, bulgogi stone pot rice, and cheesy tteokbokki, and everything was delicious. The tofu soup came out bubbling hot and was so warm, comforting, and flavorful.The beef short ribs were beautifully marinated, tender, and packed with flavor. I especially loved eating them with the purple rice. The bulgogi was also very tender and flavorful, and the grilled onions were a great addition. The cheesy tteokbokki was savory, satisfying, and covered in plenty of melted cheese. Their banchan is made fresh throughout the day, and everything we tried tasted fresh and delicious. The spicy cucumbers were definitely my favorite. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our meal and would absolutely come back. I highly recommend Youngdong Tofu House if you're looking for delicious Korean food in Rancho Cucamonga. read more

We tried this place out and for the most part, it was very good. The banchan as exceptional; especially the kimchi. I hadn't had kimchi that good in a LONG TIME. My husband had the beef noodle soup which he said was great. My kid had the fried fish and they LOVED it. I had the japchae and it was flavorful but it was way too oily. There was a puddle of oil at the bottom of my plate. Didn't finish my food nor did I take it home. At first, the service was pretty good but once more people started arriving, our server was never to be seen again. We had to ask random employees walking by our table for things we needed. When we were close to being done, we ordered another beef noodle soup to go and it took almost 45 minutes to get to us. That was a bit frustrating. It didn't take my husband's soup that long to get to our table so I didn't understand the long delay. Food was good but the service was mediocre at best so I'm not sure whether I'd come back or not or feel confident recommending this place. read more

this was genuinely the best bulgogi i have ever eaten. there was a layer of white rice on the bottom which tasted sooo good with the bulgogi on top. the spicy chicken had a really good kick to it and great taste as well. we also got a bulgogi tofu soup with medium spice which was amazing, especially with rice (we got a choice of white or purple rice and asked for both). i really appreciated how they bring out the tofu soup right when it's ready so we get it as hot as possible. the quality of the food was great and fresh. the servers walk around a lot and are constantly checked on customers, providing us with an issue-free experience. the style of the restaurant was traditional korean, with what i thought were appropriately sized tables. overall amazing experience and would definitely come back for everything we ordered. read more

returned for a second time and ordered the beef soondubu with dumplings. they forgot the dumplings so i let them know asap, and they brought me it on the side. they were clearly microwaved and the skin was extremely tough. it also came out really late, i was already halfway done with the meal. i was also disappointed in how there was still an issue with the soup burning, we all had little black flakes in our soup and somehow it still wasn't heated up hot enough to cook our eggs. other than all these issues, the flavor of the soup was pretty good besides being super thick, banchan was all yummy! i would recommend the chino hills location read more

Food: 4/5｜Service: 4/5｜Atmosphere: 4.5/5 So happy to see a tofu house in Rancho! Even as takeout, the quality held up really well. The short ribs lean slightly on the sweeter side compared to other tofu spots, and the sides are thoughtfully prepared and nicely presented. The purple rice is the hidden gem. The tofu soup is well-balanced and comforting with great flavor. Only downside is the portion feels a bit small. The interior looks beautiful too -- definitely looking forward to dining in next time. read more

Tons of variety on the menu! This is a great place to try if you are looking to try Korean food. We tried the marinated dumplings, kimchi and beef tofu soup, rice and bulgogi in the stone pot and cheese ttukbokki. Everything was delicious. My only advice would be to eat the ttukbokki right away as it tastes the best fresh. Any of the stone pot plates are a must try and the stone pot keeps everything warm and gives it a unique good flavor. The tofu soups are great and come out very hot. They have varying spice levels to customize your soup to and they also give an egg on the side that you can crack into your soup. Booths and table we're very clean and all the servers were very nice and constantly checking in. Will definitely be coming back to try out some of their other dishes! read more

Great tofu soup that pairs great with rice and the naengmyun was a refreshing getaway from the 100deg weather outside. Interior has also been renovated into a more traditional Korean aesthetic and would be a good spot for both couples and family. Service was phenomenal as well. 사장님 so sweet! read more

I've been to the Chino Hills location a handful of times so I expected the same quality. Stopped by around 6pm on a Tuesday. Food: Flavor was good and pretty standard for other Korean food I've had in OC. However, it needs to be much hotter. Everything was just kinda warm. The soup wasn't very hot when we received it, so I was wary about adding the raw egg. We received the rice about 10 minutes before everything else so it cooled down by the time the other dishes arrived. Sides were okay, wish they had fish cakes too. Service: servers were nice and checked up on us often. They provided to go boxes for our leftovers and an extra serving of the sides. Ambiance: Tables and floors were clean. read more
