No more next time to this so-called "Yummy" restaurant. 1. Wrong order: when I told the female owner, her manner was so impatient, did not say sorry at all, seems that this was normal for this restaurant. 2. I order a seafood and beef tofu pot, but there was ONLY two slim slice of beef! 3. The "seafood" were bad smell and I left most of them. Just cant eat. 4. The female owner forgot to bring me an egg for the pot, I remind her, she show a long face and put the egg very hard on the table. Luckily, the egg was on a small plate, otherwise, I would be served an cracked egg. 5. Feeling very thirsty after I have the pot. MSG effect. First time here, but never happened the same situation when visit Korean Town restaurants. There are so many choices in Korean Town. I dont recommend you to come to that DLLM "Yummy Tofu and BBQ". Honesty...... 落錯柯打, 話比個貎似大陸人的韓國事頭婆知(因為佢一時國語一時韓話), 佢仲要西面眼超超又無講對唔住. 都算. 點知個什麼seafood and beef tofu pot嚟到, 牛肉得2細條蝦條咁, 海鮮雪藏嘢原本都預咗, 但又霉又腥, 食剩大pot無辦法. 依家諗起都反胃. 嘔.... 話知比漏隻蛋, 轉頭成碟嘢掉落枱面, 依家乞兒呀, 唔使錢咩落味精太重手, 午餐食完到依家隔咁耐都仲好口渴第一次嚟"Yummy Tofu and BBQ"就有咁特別的經歷, 貼錢買難受, 奉勸各位都係去Korean Town搵食好過

Wow! We ordered mushroom tofu stew and seafood tofu stew. Delicious. Not oversalted. They use good ingredients. The seafood stew had lots of good stuff. Clams, whole shrimp, mussels, chopped tentacles. The mushroom soup was hearty, rich, and mushroomy but delicate. 9.99 for what would have been too much food except that it was so good that I heroically managed to eat it. Served with rice. You can order mild, medium or hot. The "medium" was plenty spicy. Lots of side dishes... . For vegetarian meals, just order vegetable meals and tell them "vegetarian" so that they leave out the chicken broth. Nice service. Clean. Soothing plain decor. They also serve bee-bim-bap and you can get a generous piled up plate of bbq meat. Though I have tasted others meals, I have never wanted to order anything but the stew because it is just soooo good.

When you arrive, you write your name down on a clipboard by the door and then wait for them to call you. I always order the same two things at Korean tofu places: seafood tofu and galbi. For the tofu, they offer a range of spice levels from plain to spicy. Mild was perfect for me. The galbi was tender, well-seasoned, and a bit thicker than usual so you get quite a bit of meat, although it was expensive (~$25). I also liked the small dishes they give you, although I cant speak to the kimchee since I dont like spicy food. Waitress was super nice and gave the baby a free package of seaweed and yakult.

Their smoked wings are heaven in your mouth hole. Best wings I think Ive ever had. Anything smoked on the menu (which is almost everything) has great flavor. Outstanding brisket. Amazing smoked turkey. Not a fan of the giant slice of wonder bread that comes with the plates, nor am I fan of traditional blues music which is all youll hear, but neither will effect my rating, because their smoked wings are that good. If you get wings next door while this place is open, you should be slapped.

Tiny Korean restaurant hidden near Westgate shopping center, across from the Payne post office. The diversity of dishes allows everyone to find something they like. The ginseng chicken soup (whole chicken) was warm and filling, rice cake (Ddeokbokki) was unusually sweet versus spicy, and Galbi was plentiful, flavorful, and not too many fat-only pieces. A nice neighborhood dinner spot.

Everything Ive had at Yummy Tofu and BBQ has been yummy! Lunch is a great bargain with all the side dishes youd expect at a much more expensive Korean restaurant. The meat is tender and deliciously marinated. The service is straight forward and efficient. Our family only discovered Yummy recently but well be going back again and again.

Not a large restaurant, but busy on a Friday night. Ordered seafood beef tofu pot and there were several free appetizers. The food tasted okay, not great. More like home cooking, not sophisticated or special. Prices were not cheap either. Basically, average taste!

Its more 3,5 than 4. Overall good Korean food. There are better places around ElCamino, but you will get solid food here too. We came a larger group, got accommodated quickly. Service is quick. Food is tasty. Soju is great. It gets crowded quickly.

Ugh maybe my favorite Korean food ever. Sooogooood. I accidentally thought I could get "very spicy" for my soondobu jigae and that was a mistake. They really mean it when they say "very spicy" here, unlike many places.

We had kimchi tofu and seafood pancakes. The f service is fast, but the food ia about nomal. Place is small and can get crowded. Non ideal for groups. Bbq looks good, but did not try that.

All the food I had here was pretty good. The spicy pork was a bit smokey and the dolson bibimpa bowl was not that hot. Other than that the flavors and portions were all pretty good.

Delicious. Seafood pancake, seafood soup, kalbi, its all flavored well, not super spicy (but im sure it could be), and pretty quick for takeout. Friendly staff too.

Chloe Nguyen

I love this restaurant if you love to explore different Korean dishes like chicken ginseng soup with sticky rice. Their pancake is the best in the Bay Area

Alexander Meyer

Surprizingly good, a little more pricy than i would normally go for (12-18 a dish) but they gave me seaweed to feed the baby! Great service and food.

My frequently dined lunch spot. Recommend combination tofu soup, pancake and sizzling claypot rice. The owner can speak Chinese, Korean and English.

Kara Langer Gennis

Pretty tasty Korean cuisine with decent service. A good meal, but not a particularly memorable one.
