Love the food, service and location. Only downside is "No More Happy Hour". It was 2 pm to 7 pm but now everything is just full price. Still great option for Korean food. No doubt.
It's only 5 mins from Santa Monica and 10 minutes from Culver City. If you don't want to drive to Ktown which during rush hour is a nightmare, then this is LEGIT your best option.
I am very impressed with this restaurant. Food came put quickly, and the server was all nice. Highly recommend.
We randomly stopped by this place. The tofu soup is surprisingly good in terms of both flavors and texture; the tofu is buttery soft but not mushy like at many other places we’ve tried.
A bit pricy for regular dining but it’s good once in a while.
Amazing Korean food! We eat gluten free and mainly plant-based, and we easily found food to eat here. We did splurge and put an egg on our dishes tonight ;). We had the mushroom soon tofu and hot stone veggie bibimbap. The service was very fast, the food was very very affordable and it was really delicious, including the veggie sides that came with our meal. We will definitely return here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for good Korean food in the Westside.
Got there before 6pm to beat the crowds. Parking is difficult because it's small. Food was tasty and had lots of little dishes! Come early to beat the crowds!
I love their food. Period.
I used to work as a waitress in a korean bbq restaurant so I know how Korean good is supposed to taste. This place is awesome.
My only issue is that it’s not kid friendly. Every time i go there i have to pick up some sushi next door to feed him.
I was satisfied with my meal at Seoul Tofu. The portions were large and the diversity of flavors was awesome! That said, the price could make you reconsider going here regularly.
Today I ordered the Spicy BBQ Chicken combo with a beef dumpling soup. It ended up being more then enough food, and came with traditional Korean BBQ sides like kimchi, sprouts, potato salad and marinated tofu. The chicken was tasty, but lacked and spice. The dumpling soup was also very flavorful, but I regret getting medium after reading a review saying anything over medium would be too spicy.
Overall this is a good spot if you like trying a variety of delicious flavors. Just be warned you will spend upwards of $30 per person.
Very filling. The seafood tofu soup was nicely seasoned. The egg in the soup was very tasty. Liked the sides!
Comforting warm food!
We like the combos here: you get rice, protein of your choice and 1 tofu soup.
They are reasonably priced and the servers are great!
Mind you that they only have manual que system. So list your name down and wait for your name to be called
Ordered their assorted soon tofu and it was perfect if you want some of everything. They were really giving in their ingredients and the side dishes were really refreshing for a change in flavor.
The portion size of the Soon Tofu by itself should be enough for one if you’re not feeling extremely hungry and just relatively hungry.
Highly recommend for a cold day or just a day when you want to enjoy some soothing foods. At a good price point, too.
Nothing quite like returning to Los Angeles for a visit to Sawtelle and enjoying the tofu soup at Seoul Tofu. We so appreciate the many options especially for vegetarians. The soup and sides are delicious. The service is efficient and good. We went during the week, early evening. In the past I know that they can get very busy but do their best to keep it orderly and moving.
We came in the afternoon and it wasn't super crowded. Pretty good prices for the amount and quality of food. I got the BBQ Chicken combo with the miso tofu soon and both came steaming fresh off the stove.
Something to keep in mind is that the combo has slightly smaller servings of each (which makes sense given the pricing) so if you have your heart set on a single dish, it's probably better to order on its own. However, even as someone who isn't a big tofu or soup fan, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend trying it out!
We had beef Kalbi and a vegetable soon tofu, both were very delicious and authentic! I would have liked a bit more tofu in the soon tofu pot. The banchan was delicious and generous, giving us a good balance. Would definitely recommend and go back!
Service was also quick and courteous, thumbs up!
It’s a popular spot at night so parking was supervised which is a good thing to ensure customers get a spot.
This place is AMAZING!!!! Let’s start with service, it’s fast, friendly and in my case patient they take their time to make sure you’re enjoying your food and they ask you if you need more side dishes rather than waiting to be asked. Now to the most important part, food flavor, this place is truly delicious their Tofu Soon is absolutely delicious and true to the spice level, their combos are very generous and with a great selection. Finally the Seafood pancake is absolutely delicious a perfect blend of vegetables and seafood in a delicious egg pancake. Highly recommend and if the wait is long it is worth the wait.
Hands down the best Soon Tofu I’ve ever had. I ordered the Seafood Soon Tofu with medium spice. The soup was tasty, and had a nice, deep flavor. They were generous with the tofu and seafood. The banchan was equally delicious with my favorite being the potato salad and the fish cakes.
In terms of the service, we were seated quickly and our food was served fairly quick.
Overall, had a satisfying meal and will definitely return!
I absolutely love this place. Every time I’m in the area this is my go to spot. Even if I’m within an hour distance drive, I will make the trip to come here. My go to is the spicy pork bulgogi. The staff is nice. The food is consistently good. The restaurant is clean. The free mash potatoes that comes with your meal is so delicious. Cannot recommended enough.
After a cold rainy weekend. Seoul Tofu is the right place for a warm spicy bowl of Tofu with Beef. Make sure you try to the short ribs. Delicious!

Looking for some delicious Korean soup near Ucla and I found this place. It is only 10 minutes away and I highly recommend it. It is located in a strip mall that has several other Asian restaurants, Chinese, Japanese Filipino Boba tea, gift shop. It’s around the neighborhood also appears to have many Asian restaurants that are serving LA locals
Vibe: Modern, clean and quiet, lots of LA locals and Asians that look like they know how to order. Attentive service.
Food: it appears that the specialties here are Bibibop and soft tofu soup. I love softer for soup, and I selected medium spicy tofu soup with a mixture of seafood and meat. The soup had a nice combination of calamari, muscles, shrimp, beef and pork and healthy dosage of soft tofu. The broth was boiling hot, and when I asked for medium spicy, it was exactly that.
Service friendly, not very talkative and efficient. I think there was one waiter for the 30 tables but he made sure the water and the Ban Chan was out immediately and brought me my soup as soon as available. I can imagine that during a busier time, there’s a line out the door, but when I was there, I could select any table I wanted.
We were two people and we ordered the Hot Stone Bibimbap combo with Soon tofu and dumpling as our combo option. We were stuffed full by the end of our meal. We asked for the food to be made spicy and it indeed was spicy (the good well-rounded kind of spicy and not just chilly pepper spicy). It warmed us up pretty well.
Would definitely love to visit this place again if I am in the neighborhood. Highly recommended.
