Jang Guem Tofu & Bbq House

Watching Kdrama and saw people eating this black noodle in Korean restaurant. Never eat one before. NY friend took me to lunch to Jang Guem Tofu &BBO Korean cuisine. I order the black bean sauce noodle. It is a big bowl and recommend to share. The noodle dish is kind of sweet with little meet. It came with some kimchi and other side dish(free). We also order some Korean boneless fried chicken with the house specialty sauce. That was very good indeed. If you wantsnto try something new in China Town Houston, go here. It is to the right of HMart on Bellaire Blvd.

Tucked in near a corner next to Hmart, Jang Geum Tofu has been around for years in Chinatown serving homey Korean food. I remember frequenting this restaurant in the past with my family WAY back to when they had grilled mackerel, or whatever fish it was, as a side dish and when there were not that many Korean restaurants. I remember coming here and loving their kimchi tofu soup and side dishes. However, we started trying new places as newer Korean restautants and Kbbq places popped up and came less. After trying new places for some time, I decided to come back. So much has changed in these past few years, but the food has remained consistent for the most part. I ordered the combination (C1), which came with galbi and a tofu soup. For the soup, I chose the kimchi jigae tofu soup (T6). I also ordered the hot stone bibimbap with bulgogi. The side dishes were good, with the mashed potatoes being my favorite. It was pretty well portioned, and I even had enough to share with my partner. The soup also came out boiling, and I love cracking the egg into the soup. The tofu soup is still good, and I think it is my favorite kimchi tofu soup in Houston. The galbi was okay and was very fatty with a lackluster flavor. The quality of the meat has not changed even after all these years. The bulgogi bibimbap was pretty standard and was pretty good. Overall, I think what you get for the prices of the meals are a lot and worth it. If I had to recommend one dish, it would be the kimchi jigae soup for sure! They also have a variety of options and combinations, as well.

This is some of the tastiest Korean food i’ve ever had. Easily the best Korean food in Houston for overall value. The restaurant itself doesn’t offer much ambiance or atmosphere, but the food will keep me coming back. The owners seem like they are always bickering at each other in Korean, in front of patrons in the restaurant, I kind of find it amusing.

Good place for tofu soup! Service was good. I came here a while back for the galbi but wasn’t a fan. I’m glad I came back to try the soup. I had the beef and seafood tofu soup (#2) that came with rice and that was delicious. I can’t handle too much spicy so I just got mild and that was perfect for me. The sides weren’t the best I’ve had but I did enjoy the potatoes and fish cakes the most! I will definitely be back for more tofu soup

We like to come here when on this side of town. The food is always delicious and plentiful. Today we popped in for a quick lunch and they have a lunch special menu. Pricing is even better during this time! I had the Korean BBQ lunch box and my sister had the Bulgogi rice bowl. So much food! I thought the plating could have been better/nicer with the lunch box but the amount of kalbi I received for the price- who am I to complain about how the serving looks? The rice bowl was delicious. The bulgogi was well seasoned and the juices soaked into the rice giving everything a wonderful flavor. The servers kept our side items and beverages filled. Always enjoy ourselves when we come. Will definitely be back.
