Reviews for Young Dong Tofu House in San Gabriel, CA
Since my workplace is near this restaurant, I have been going there for 8 years. However, due to the pandemic, it has been taken... out only for the last two years. However, I thought it was about time, so I went last week and dine in. After all, unlike takingout, there was satisfaction. And I went again today and asked for a container because I couldn't eat it all. Then the waitersaid he would charge $1.50 for the take-out container. I said ok, but the waiter didn't bring it, so I asked another waitress tobring it to me. I've been to a lot of restaurants so far, but I've never had to charge a takeaway container, which isdisappointing. It's a shame because it's a restaurant with good taste, but I decided not to dine in here anymore. I think it'sbetter to keep in mind that you can lose customers over trifles. Read more
Good food, bad services. We are waiting for long time to ask a employee. I saw a Grubhub deliver who asked them for restroom,... but she said no? What is wrong with them? Grubhub deliver is still a customer right? Read more
This place gives you simple authentic Korean tofu cuisine. The food tastes good but sometimes it can be very oily. The seating... arrangement is like a cafeteria so is very crowded during busy hours. Read more
Pandemic review May 2022 Outdoor seating and indoor seating available. Outdoor seating is quite spaced apart. Bring sunglasses... if you have light sensitivity and dining outside, the white tent will give an overcast effect. Looking down to eat your foodmake it feel better. Early lunch isn't busy :) Very delicious lunch combo ~$21. Beef tofu (hot bowl depicted) + beef (usuallya sizzling hot plate) Comes with a tiny bowl of rice (choice of white or "brown." I think it's actually the nice purple + blackrice) I've eaten here multiple times, absolutely delicious!!! Food tip: If you like spicy food, get the spiciest because"spicy" is not spicy enough for me. Also, the soup comes boiling hot, break your egg in it soon after it arrives. Chicken currydish is huge; I received a lot more than what I expected to get from a restaurant!!!! It comes with your choice of riceunderneath the chicken. I don't know if they charged for the extra bowl of rice they served me before the curry dishcame. Edit: Receipt price is not the same as the advertised menu price. I waited 20 minutes to get rice at my table. Iwatched other tables get their rice before me, when I ordered before them. My table gets our food order; I asked differentwaiters for the rice that came with my table's order and still didn't get it. I had to stand up and go to the kitchen area totell them I didn't get my rice yet. My food became almost room temp by the time I got the rice. The bulgogi plate was hot butnot sizzling hot like it usually is :( Still delicious food but service was awful :( (Rice bowl for comparison) Read more
This is the current favorite place. It has everything a meal should. Something fried and crunchy, something steamed, and soup.... This hits all the good spots Read more
Nice tofu spot overall and we ate so much...because we each had a tofu soup combo (me plus bibimbap, my friend plus beef glass... noodle) then we had on top of that another Korean rice cake dish. Total feast and we had a blast. The tofu soups are a littlebland, but all the other dishes are quite flavorful. It's a bit hard to find parking in the plaza at peak hours and there wasquite a line when we arrived around 7pm on a Saturday. But this is the only tofu house we found that is dog friendly so westayed. There is a big outside tent that accommodates 10+ tables on top of the indoor space. Read more
Very fast service and good selections of Korean tofu combos, but their taste is pretty plain, not spicy and way too much greesy... for their bbq pork. Floor and restroom not very clean Read more
Terrible service. Went for a pick up and a waitress told me that it?s not ready. I waited 10 more minutes and the same waitress... told me that same thing. I went again and a different waitress came by and told me that the kitchen never got the order becausethe computer in the lobby isn?t connected to the one in the kitchen. I understand that, but the fact that the other waitressnever even checked, the only thing she told me was that it?s almost ready and she brushed me off. Half an hour later and it?sfinally ready but nobody told me. I waited for 1 hour. Every other waitress and waiter that passed me acted like I wasn?t eventhere. Read more
