Reviews for Tofu Village in Gardena, CA
The longest wait due to seriously short-staffed shift, not only dated but loud music the whole time, no air conditioning, rice... wasn?t fully cooked, tofu soup lacked taste, Galbi was oily and over priced- bloody $49.00 for 5 tiny pieces. Read more
Good service. But the seafood tofu soup was average with very limited ingredients, the broth is slightly on the watery side.
Friendly staff but the food is more like quick home-cooked style which doesn?t quite satisfy the palate. Soft tofu soup is heavy... on the fish sauce vs. a rich broth and side dishes don?t seem quite as fresh. Read more
Bad service the Korean lady was so rude she ignored us most of the time ..she never brought us napkins and the place was dirty ... even the water container it was nasty . Read more

The food here is exceptional. We loved everything we ordered. Good service. The galbi is cooked and seasoned well. Soon tofu... soup can be ordered from not spicy to spicy. Everything comes out hot and sizzling. The fried fish was hot and fresh. Overallgreat experience and food. Read more
Very good food. Price is decent too. Love the lightly fried tofu. It?s the only way I eat it. The side dishes are very good. The... beef ribs are yum. A nice spicy dumpling soup. Read more
The whole complex that this restaurant is in looked unpromising. It felt run down to me, but boy was I surprised. I have written... a review about Tofuya but this place is actually next level! I would say that this place is second only to BCD Tofu House! Iactually enjoyed every single dish I ordered: Grilled flatfish, Soon Beef Tofu, and dumplings. Every single dish's portion wasvery generous but I would say the Tofu in particular was the bomb! ???? So let me start with that. ???? By the way, DO NOT TOUCHthe pot, if you need to bring it closer to you, please use a napkin. This pot is no joke, I hurt myself a little because I wastoo excited to dig in. ????When you choose to have eggs in your tofu, the server would put the egg in for you (clean hands! yay)! Anyways, the soup feels light but still very tasty and they don't put sugar in any of their dishes (cheers to that). The meatwas delicious and the tofu had perfect texture! Now, the grilled flatfish reminds me a lot of BCD Tofu's fish. They are bothequally good but since we actually pay for the flatfish, the fishes are way bigger than the ones served in BCD. In terms oftaste, Tofu Village's fish was less salty but I still enjoyed it very much! Dumplings? I didn't think it was anything special.It was delicious but I wouldn't order it again. Right, let's talk about the place then. The restaurant is pretty cozy andclean. I have a strong feeling that the waitress here is also the chef and owner of the store. The lady was nice and respectfulbut doesn't speak English that well. So speak slower if you won't be ordering your food in Korean. ???? Overall, I wouldrecommend this place, but maybe if you are not a huge fan of dumplings, then skip it. I would be coming back again though, thatTofu was a mood booster! ???? Read more
