Modern Korean spot in Koreatown, known for house-made tofu & delicious stews [1]. Great for groups, often without a wait.
Will Hartman reviews DubuHaus, a Koreatown restaurant where fresh, house-made tofu is the star. The review highlights various tofu stews and other Korean dishes, recommending it for groups and casual dinners.
This Koreatown eatery is a modern Korean restaurant from the creators of Howoo, making fresh tofu in-house daily. The menu centers around various soondubu (soft tofu stews) with diverse flavor profiles, alongside other popular Korean dishes like bossam and yukhoe bibimbap. It's a great spot for groups and casual dinners, offering a satisfying and hearty dining experience with a pleasant ambiance.
The restaurant specializes in Korean cuisine, with a strong emphasis on house-made tofu. Popular dishes include various soondubu (soft tofu stews) like spicy braised dubu, seafood jjambong hotpot, maesaengi oyster soondubu, and perilla seed mushroom soondubu. Other highlights are bossam (boiled pork belly) and yukhoe bibimbap (Korean beef tartare). The cold soybean noodles are noted as a dish to avoid. They also offer house-made makgeolli [8, 9].
"Highly recommended dishes include the Perilla Seed Mushroom Soondubu, Bossam, and Yukhoe Bibimbap. The house-made makgeolli is also a praised beverage choice."
Customers praise the restaurant for its high-quality, fresh tofu and top-tier meat, noting it's a great option for groups with a pleasant atmosphere. Some dishes, like the cold soybean noodles, have received less favorable reviews.
Important Note
The cold soybean noodle dish is not recommended due to its thick, one-note soybean milk sauce. While some dishes like Maesaengi oyster soondubu were previously available, they may have been removed from the menu.
