“ Came for dinner one night and the wait was over an hour so went to another dining option. Came back today since it was off peak hours and was seated right away since there were many unoccupied tables. We ordered the croaker combo set and the galbi combo set. Both were delicious. The fried croaker was very good. You can chew up most of it since the ground technique made the bones soft. The ban chans or side dishes were good. The combos came with rice. You'll be immediately offered hot barley tea in metal cups or water. Lunch time was not busy at all. Everything was so delicious. Highly recommend this place. There is free underground parking available. ”

“ My favorite part of this place is definitely the banchan. They give you so much and they all taste so good. My favorite was definitely the cucumbers. As for the dishes we got the naengmyeon (cold noodles) which was alright. It tasted like packaged naengmyeon and there wasn't much special about it. The seafood pancake was really thick--almost like a cake--and would've been nice if the outside was crisped just a little bit more. The LA galbi was good, but didn't come with a lot--portion size was lacking a bit here. The grilled teriyaki chicken was alright, a bit too salty for my taste. The tofu soup was hearty, spicy, and very delicious--by far the best part of the meal. ”

“ Great Korean food. Casual Asian dining experience. A Ri Rang Tofu House is located in the ground floor corner of a two story plaza. The plaza has ample parking on the basement level and even has a few EV charging stations. Service was quick and efficient and we were seated immediately. A quick raise of your hand and the staff attend to your requests just as quick. Our group ordered a 2 mushroom tofu soups, a dolsot (hot stone) bibimbap, and a regular bibimbap. All of it delicious. As standard with Korean restaurants, banchan and hot tea is provided as soon as you sit down. The banchan was some of the best I've had. All of it, from the kimchi to the cucumbers to the fish cakes (and I don't even like fish cakes), all of it, delicious. ”

“ Came by around 9 PM for some dinner with a new friend and only had to wait like 5-10 minutes for a table which was nice. We both ordered soup combos, and was pleasantly surprised with a variety of appetizers and assorted veggies, which is free to refill, just ask! I got mine mild seafood, and it tasted super good, with rice. It was quite filling which was good. They also have a variety of other menus on the item to try so I hope to come back and try one of them next time. We were lucky to get seated in the back so it was not too crowded or loud throughout our dinner. Also, there's additional underground parking in the back. ”

“ I visited A Ri Rang Tofu House for lunch and had a great experience overall! I ordered the galbi, clam tofu soup, and seafood pancake. The side dishes were delicious, especially the potato salad--it's easily my favorite. We did have to wait a bit longer than expected for the seafood pancake and almost forgot about it, but when it arrived, it was absolutely worth the wait! Crispy, flavorful, and packed with seafood goodness. The galbi was tender and well-marinated, and the clam tofu soup was comforting and full of flavor. If you're looking for hearty Korean dishes with great side dishes, this place is definitely worth a visit. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait if you're ordering the seafood pancake, but trust me, you won't regret it! ”

“ A Ri Rang Tofu House was one of my favorite restaurants to go to when I was young, so I decided to give it a try after years! I had to wait a while, but the queue was very efficient, and they gave me a number to check in. I waited around 20-30 minutes and was seated quickly. Service was super friendly and I ordered the beef and seafood tofu soup with the spicy pork bulgogi. Compared to BCD Tofu House, a natural Korean staple, the portions are less, but the flavor is consistent and strong. The kimchi, broccoli, and other side dishes complimented well with the bulgogi, and the seasoning was well-detailed and had depth. The rice portions were fair, and the tofu was big and chunky--something that may be disliked by some but definitely enjoyed by me! Big juicy chunks of tofu, followed by pieces of shrimp, clam, and beef. Super warm and comforting. I would definitely come again if I'm in the area. I'm just not sure if I'm willing to come over compared to BCD, though. It's a great alternative! ”

“ I absolutely love this Korean spot! The food is always delicious, and it's become one of my go-to places when I'm craving something hearty and flavorful. My must-order dish is the C2 special, which comes with beef bulgogi and beef tofu soup. It's the perfect lunch special in every way. The beef bulgogi is tender and savory, and the tofu soup is just incredible. The medium spice level is perfect--just the right amount of kick--and it feels like a warm hug on a cold day. I also appreciate the bangchan they serve, which is always tasty and a great addition to the meal. My only downside is the price. It's $26 for the two items, and while the food is great, it's on the pricey side for lunch. Dinner prices are even higher, which is a bit much for regular visits. Still, the quality of the food keeps me coming back. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area! ”

“ This is probably my favorite Korean tofu soup spot in the area. I've been here several times and it's a great experience every time. This restaurant is located in a plaza with ample parking on the ground and underground level, though beware because the ramp to get underground is steep. This restaurant does get busy, but the wait usually isn't bad. I always get seated immediately or have to wait max 15 minutes. I usually get their combo option where you can choose a dish and a tofu soup. Bulgogi (5/5): Really good and flavorful dish. Cooked and marinated well, and pairs great with rice or by itself. Definitely recommend trying this! Beef tofu soup (5/5): I got the medium spicy level and it was perfect. Had a small kick but not overpowering. There's a lot of tofu and beef, and the soup comes with a raw egg cracked inside which I really like. You also get a variety of banchan like kimchi, fish cake, mashed potato, etc. most of which I like! Plus their cold barley tea is good. The restaurant is pretty big with plenty of seating indoors. Great spot to check out if you are craving tofu soup. There's also some dessert spots in the same plaza if you want to continue your food journey afterward, though I usually get really full after eating here. ”

“ A Ri Rang has become one of my go-to Korean spots in the SGV area. I've been here many times now, and every friend I've brought along has agreed it's delicious. I'd even say it surpasses BCD Tofu House. On busy evenings (around 7-8 PM on weekends), the longest I've waited was about 25 minutes but some days I've had no wait times. Even on busy days there is always parking available in the underground lot. As soon as you're seated, a generous array of banchan awaits. The spread includes fish cakes, kimchi, spicy cucumbers, bean sprouts, cheongpo-muk (mung bean jelly), broccoli, potato salad, and seaweed salad--quite the selection! You can always ask for banchan refills, and the servers are happy to oblige. They serve warm barley tea in the evenings, but water is also available upon request. A Ri Rang is always bustling with customers of all ages, and the staff are incredibly quick and attentive. My partner and I usually split a combo (soup + side dish) and an additional soup so we can share a side dish together. The rice is served in a hot stone pot with peas, and you can choose to add an egg for extra richness. The soups are customizable in spiciness, ranging from not spicy to extra spicy--my favorite is the seafood and beef soup with medium spice. If you're looking for something comforting, healthy, and satisfying, A Ri Rang is always a solid choice. Highly recommend if you're in the SGV area and can't decide where to eat! ”
