Young Dong Tofu - Chino Hills, California

Huge portions of delicious food! I had the dumpling tofu soup and was also all le to try the short ribs. All so delicious!! Great homemade kin chi.

The service is excellent. Friendly and helpful servers. Comfortable and casual spot.

The restaurant seems very popular among locals. We arrived around 5pm on a weekend and avoided a 30 min wait. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The only issue was the lack of service from the waitresses. The busboys were the ones we had to ask for refills but it wasn’t a big deal. I would definitely be coming back.

If you are craving tofu soup and are in the Chino Hills area, go to Young Dong Tofu. This restaurant is always packed, but the turnover is super quick so don't despair! Try to go during non-peak hours though or on weeknights to avoid the crazy weekend and dinner rushes.

There is a lot of variety on the menu: they have a number of different tofu soups, BBQ platters, beef rib soups, and even pork cutlet plates you can order. Here's what I recommend:

* BBQ short rib + tofu soup combo (4.5/5 stars, $31.95): this is my go-to order and it is perfect for sharing. It comes with 8-9 pieces of LA Galbi served on a sizzling platter of onions AND comes with a tofu soup as well. We always get the beef and seafood tofu soup, medium spice.

* Seafood pancake (5/5 stars, $27.99): the seafood pancake here is delicious - it's thick and it's a very large order. We can never finish it and always bring home the other half to put in our air fryer the next day.

* Pork cutlet (4.5/5 stars, $22.99): the size of this pork cutlet is going to astound you. I've never seen anyone be able to finish the entire portion. It's gigantic.

The banchan are really good at Young Dong as well. The staff is extremely attentive, even though they run a very small crew of servers and bussers. It's a well-oiled machine there, and I'm always impressed. We've tried other Korean soup options in Chino Hills - just go to Young Dong. It's the best option.

My review may be esoteric for many to understand. However, here is my corroboration for my succinct five star review. As a contrite apology for those subversive people who reciprocated negatively to the restaurant's attitude, its literally a casual no-frills Korean eatery. While the service isn't quite the best or apex, it is acceptable as they get busy often. The food is quite grandiloquent and scrumptious! Although the restaurant lacks a modern style, it definitely works as it serves top tier food. This experience had a profound impact upon me.

This place is always packed. I would highly recommend the hot stone bibimbap, seafood pancake, bbq ribs and mushroom tofu soup. It’s definitely a favorite locals spot by many!

Young Dong Tofu is a constant hustling and bustling restaurant in the heart of Chino Hills. They’re one of the best Korean restaurants in the city and the proof is in how busy they are for lunch and dinner service.

We came here on a Friday evening around 6pm and waited at least a half hour.

We ordered the bbq beef rib combo (with mushroom tofu soup), bbq beef combo (with dumpling tofu soup) and a seafood pancake. Their banchan (cold side dishes) are absolutely delicious. We enjoyed everything we ordered and had a ton of leftovers to have for breakfast the next day, which is always a nice treat.

Because they have a small staff, you will need to feel comfortable flagging them down for service by raising your hand. They turn tables over fairly quickly and do the best they can with who they have. We would come back or order takeout from here next time.
