Young Dong Tofu Is a Korean Soondubu House That's Been Serving Chino Hills for Years
We serve soondubu, banchan, and a table that never runs empty. Bubbling-hot stone pots, sizzling galbi, and 992+ Yelp reviews from guests who keep coming back.
Hot Stone Bibimbap
Rice, egg, and vegetables served sizzling in a stone pot that keeps crisping the rice underneath as you eat. Regulars order it by name — one reviewer highly recommends the hot stone squid bibimbap alongside the galbi and seafood tofu soup.
YOUNG DONG TOFU
An OG Chino Hills Institution
Long before soondubu was easy to find in the Inland Empire, Young Dong Tofu was already serving it — regulars mention coming here since their college years, and Yelp reviews stretch back to 2017. Nearly 1,000 reviews and 4.1 stars later, it's still the restaurant families in Chino Hills order the same dishes from, visit after visit. Thank you for choosing Young Dong Tofu — we look forward to serving you.
A Table Full of Sides
Every meal comes with a full spread of banchan, and reviewers consistently call out how generous the refills are — “they bring you seconds without you even asking.” The cucumbers and seaweed salad are regulars' favorites, and hot buckwheat tea gets refilled right alongside them.

“I ordered the soondubu and kalbi combo. My soup medium spicy and bursting with flavors. Banchans were simple but super tasty and fresh. Kalbi was sizzling as it was served. Everything was delicious and clearly lives up to the hype.”

“Very good sundubu jjigae restaurant that I have been going to for years! Every soup that I have tried has been amazing. I recommend the seafood one or the intestine one — they put a lot of meat and tofu. Their cucumbers are some of the best I've had, as that is my favorite banchan at any Korean place.”

“BEEF RIBS: 10/10 — It was the STAR OF THE SHOW!! I usually just finish the tofu soup and totally ignore the meats elsewhere. But to my surprise, the flavor and the texture were so nice, juicy and tender!! Service: excellent, fast, and friendly.”

“Banchan is so good here and plentiful; they bring you seconds without you even asking. They also refill your hot buckwheat tea frequently. I love the purple bean rice in the hot stone bowl that keeps cooking and crisping as you eat.”

“This place always hits the spot on a chilly day. My husband and I both get the mild beef and octopus tofu soup, which is not too spicy but still very flavorful. They give a good amount of octopus. Favorite banchan is the seaweed one.”
