Lees Korean BBQ & Tofu House

Gabriel Estrada

Came to Valencia to check out some cribs and things at buy buy baby. After, my family wanted to go and eat and we searched what was near by and we found this place. We got here an hour before they close and they attended us with such a great attitude. We got nothing but the best hospitality here. Their food is really good and tasty. The spicy pork was more on the sweet side than the spicy side but it was still good. The kimchi tofu soup was really good with such great flavors. This is a must try if you are in the area and are looking for Korean food or something different. Great service. Great food.

Delicious simple home cooked eats! The owners were very heartwarming and the menu is extensive with both Korean food options and a variety of pho and Vietnamese food options as the owners owned both the Korean and pho restaurant on each side of the restaurant. The tofu soup was yummy with many side dishes. Pho was fresh and filling too. Affordable prices!

Very good service. Food portions were huge, tasty n value for price. Can't go wrong here. Go for the Pho. If need, request for extra bowl of broth. Yummy!

I am a regular here. I absolutely love this place. I used to go to korean restaurants a lot in orange county and this place makes me feel at home! Food is great! Love it!

Food was good and it came out quick. I recommend to anyone looking for a good and hearty Korean meal.

We got beef combo and it was enough for 2 person, it was delicious, I really recommend it

Food is yummy. Nice Korean grandma owns the place (I think). No pretense and an ideal hedge / compromise when half your family wants Korean and the other half wants Pho (same venue is also Pho 888).

This was our first time at Lee's Korean BBQ & Tofu House. Overall we found the food to be generous in portion and quite tasty. There are limited, but again tasty, options for vegetarians and we didn't leave disappointed or hungry. The atmosphere could use a bit of a recombobulation. There are a lot of "work" stations around so it's hard to know if you're seated in the dining area or an area where prep or cleaning is happening. Besides that we liked the food we got. My wife ordered the Tofu Soup which came out bubbling and a beautiful golden color. That plus the sizzle of the Vegan Deluxe Hot Pot that was brought made us realize, hey it's dinner AND a show...and the food is performing for us. When it calmed down a little we started to eat it. It was all really good, and plentiful. You definitely won't go hungry here. We also got a Chives Pancake which was large and a nice counterpoint to the spicier dishes we ordered. Our server was friendly and the food come out really quickly too. (There was only one other person in the restaurant on this Thursday night so not sure how that speed is maintained when it's busier. We wish they had more vegetarian options, but what we did have was good and we'd happily eat it again.

An unassuming spot in a strip mall that somehow manages to combine pho and Korean bbq and honestly I’m not mad at it. The owner was super friendly and welcoming, the food was good and fast. One of the best meals I’ve had in the area!

I love Korean beef tofu soup and I didn’t know it’s available here at SCV. We had a pleasant dining experience here at Lee’s Korean BBQ & Tofu House. Our favorites were the spicy pork and tteokbokki. The staff (I’m assuming she’s the daughter of the owner since the place looks like family-owned and run) was kind enough to adjust the spice level to accommodate my 9-year old daughter’s spice tolerance. I recommend getting the combo (meat + half tofu soup). My eldest daughter liked her non-spicy dumpling tofu soup. The banchan could be better though. The space and dining area is small and quite tight, but the staff are so friendly and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back.

I used to like Korean food especially kimchi, but kimchi in this place is terribly hard to chew and taste not the same. The lady is not patient and she rush a lot. I wouldn't say rude. the food is on the expensive side and she miscalculate the price without any explanation. Tofu pot is very small.

I had the chicken pho, and this the pho was below average. The chicken was dry and un-chewable. I let the staff and owner know but they just shrugged and went about their business. I’d like to support this local business but request making the chicken better please!

Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. They wouldn’t even serve us water and the food was terrible. Half their menu was crossed out with sharpie marker. I couldn’t even finish my meal and definitely didn’t want to take any home with me. What kind of place doesn’t even serve water when the customer is ordering spicy food? I’m baffled by the lack of courtesy and respect for customers. Do better.

Terrible service. We tried to be a nice customer not demanding just try to order what we wanna eat but no one pay attention to us (and not too busy on that time). We ordered the k-food and yes no water no asking nothing at all. This is our first time here and absolutely no more here again for sure. Thank you.☹️

We were really disappointed by this place for having such good reviews. First they must not have had air conditioning, because it was freaking super uncomfortable. The service was very poor. There were two old women who were watching tv and seemed bothered that we were there. Every interaction at our table felt like they were angry at us. Minimal words and a scowl on her face. When the food finally came, I could tell the chicken had been precooked and was simply warmed up. I also found 2 hairs in my food. Sadly I didn’t want to say anything I just left.

Don't eat pho . Taste like water only. They need to stick to Korean food. DO NOT GO THERE TO EAT PHO .. THEY DONT EVEN GIVE YOU MEAT WITH YOUR PHO.

Try the BBQ short ribs for $28, consisting of 3 pieces that can be cut into 6 pieces. The meat may be tough to chew, which is why they have merged two stores into one. Save your money and head to KBBQ in Newhall for a guaranteed better experience, even if it costs $5 more.

This is my first time writing a review on Google. I had to because this is the worst Korean food I’ve ever had. I ordered seafood tofu soup and the soup came with tofu and 3 shrimps….not at all what it says on the menu….the kimchi tastes so fishy also….the next day my stomach was aching the whole day…..would never try this place ever again
