" If you are looking for a great Korean BBQ, Grandma Tofu & BBQ delivers! The atmosphere is very typical for a Korean restaurant, cozy and welcoming. The staff is friendly, and I did not find the wait for food too long. The portions were sufficient, especially for the price. I will definitely visit again. Highly recommended for all lovers of Korean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow! I had the best time here! The atmosphere is so inviting and the service was top-notch. The spicy crab combo made my taste buds dance. Each dish was beautifully presented and generously portioned. I also appreciate the attention to detail the staff exhibited. A true gem for anyone seeking authentic Korean cuisine. I will certainly be returning for more deliciousness! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit I was a bit let down after hearing so much about Grandma Tofu & BBQ. The flavors were there, but some dishes like the galbi lacked tenderness and had a dryer texture compared to what I expected. The service too was a little confusing, as we were not given clear instructions about ordering. It seems they need to work on their team training to keep up with the foot traffic. I hope my next visit turns out better! " (*Curated Review*)

The atmosphere was calm and relaxed, making it an ideal spot for a midday meal. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Korean food! I will be back soon!

" What a fantastic dinner experience! The galbi was deliciously tender, and the banchan selection was some of the best I’ve had in the city! The staff was also very attentive, taking the time to explain the dishes. Ideal for both groups and solo diners. They made sure we had all we needed to enjoy the meal. I left feeling fully satisfied and can’t wait to return for another feast! " (*Curated Review*)

" An overall amazing experience! The variety of side dishes and banchan that come with the main meal is such a treat. Grandma Tofu & BBQ gives you a good sense of authentic Korean cooking. The tofu is cooked to perfection, and I can't resist adding extra kimchi. The wait time was a little longer than expected, but it was worth every bite. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for hearty meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Grandma Tofu & BBQ after hearing great things, and it lived up to the hype! While the service had moments of slowness, especially when I needed a drink refill, the food was nothing short of fantastic. I ordered the seafood tofu soup and it was rich and flavorful, with just the right amount of spice. I loved the complimentary banchan, particularly the kimchi, which had perfect fermentation. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Korean flavors! " (*Curated Review*)
