Mr Tofu House

Hot tea or ice water is available freely here, depending on the season, (usually hot tea up till June, then back in September?) When it's cold out, they serve tea in a metal cup that warms up nicely, and in the summer, ice water in a glass. Also, a milk tea (boba) selection is available only in the late summer, with a limited flavor section! 🧋

I've sat here drinking so much hot tea, I've nearly fallen asleep (usually only 3 cups max lol) 🍵

As for food, I can't help but order the same three lunch dishes in rotation here, because they are SOOO perfect.

B16. 비빔밥 / Bibimbab, with chicken is best imo, or just extra tofu which is really good here
B14. 닭불고기덮밥 / Dak Bulgogi Deop Bab (Chicken only)
B13. 잡채덮밥 / Japchae Deop Bab, best with beef or pork for me
You can choose your meat for two of these, or even order extra toppings

I've recently started trying the Pan Fried Kimchi option instead of meat, and it goes so well... I recommend going for the chicken w any dish and asking for pan fried kimchi as an extra. About $3-4 for extra of any topping, worth it for lunch options. You'll still spend under $20 for a very filling meal

If you really like bimbimbap, go for the Hot Stone bowl, dinner entree only, under F1. And don't skip the fried egg, you're missing out! Every bite of melted golden yolk over steamed white rice is a bite of heaven in any dish here 🤍💛🍚🍳

I am so glad I found this place! I was looking for a homey place to get Korean soups and this place was just that! The vegetable pancake so crisp. The bonchon was fresh. I got a spicy beef soup that was so good, not too spicy either. We will definitely be back!

This cute little place has a welcoming atmosphere and polite service.

The banchan were delicious, offering a variety of flavors.

The Seafood Pancake was a bit lacking in seafood, but it was crispy on the outside.

The mushroom tofu stew was flavorful and satisfying.

The short rib was exceptionally tender. It's usually a tough cut, but this one was cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned.

The japchae was a little too sticky for my preference, but overall, it was a pleasant dining experience.

Very low sodium for korean food lol but it seems adjusted for the Wayne demographic. As a Korean, I would find this place to be too bland, but this was perfect for traveling. Especially for a long drive. The auntie is so kind, we will come back when visiting the area again!

Very good food but on the simpler side. Yet, it's one of the better Korean restaurants in the northern NJ area. Classic NJ location, in a strangest strip mall by a railway track.
Very decent kimchi. The proprietor is very sweet but appears to be managing the floor herself so service can be a bit slow. Definitely worth a visit.
