Convoy Tofu House - S San Diego

Excellent Korean food! Love all the included side dishes. The tteokbokki and beef bulgogi was delicious.

DO NOT BOTHER. Do yourself a favor and go down the street to any of the other half dozen korean tofu houses. Slow 2 pm on a Sunday, trying to grab a quick lunch and was craving tofu soup. Came in, made eye contact with the single server in the whole restaurant and signaled table for 1 , zero acknowledgement or response. Waited while he typed at the PoS and watched the two kitchen workers chatted on their phones behind the front desk on their break. Tried again, this time the waiter said to put my name down on the waitlist, a waitlist of 1 with no one else around waiting at all. Stood in the doorway waiting for 10 mins, watched the waiter move around with the speed of a sloth and the attitude of zero care or compassion, I get it, server jobs suck, but this guy had the most amazing disinterested face ever and moved as if he was paid by the second, not the hour. Counted 6 uncleared tables with no signs of being cleared anytime soon, 3 seated tables with zero food served, and patrons looking around as if puzzled as to why their food wasn 't there yet. 10 mins of standing like an idiot at the doorway still waiting to be seated or acknowledged later, another 2 people come up to wait behind me. Turned around, advised them to leave as well, and just went down the street to another tofu house. Absolute waste of time.

Food was super delish. Had tofu soup with kimchi and bulgogi and spare ribs. The bonchon was super flavorful as well. Ribs were marinated well, grilled, and super tender. Can’t wait to go back and eat more of the menu

We love eating here.The intestines soup is so good. The kimchi is fresh and sidedishes are tasty. Service is fast and friendly.

Conclusion: Really wanted to like this place due to the menu variety, but can 't because of the disappointing service. DO NOT COME JUST BEFORE CLOSING, they 'll rob you. (much less food, and up your gratuity probably) Menu/Food: (4) Packs everything you might want to eat, from Tofu stew, Galbi, Bulgogi to Bibimbap. Topokki to street vendor fried food, they all tastes pretty good. However, we came just before they called for last order, got two tofu soup, and the portion was definitely lacking compared to other places, only 80% full. Service: (1) 1. Like many (Korean) restaurants, when you want more side dishes and waves your hand to the waiter, they pretend not to see you. 2. Came on a Saturday night, door said closes at 10pm, but actually made last call around 8:20pm, and closed the door at 9. We weren 't rushed, but felt cheated. Please update the restaurant hours. 3. THEY CHARGED 21% AUTO GRATUITY FOR PARTY OF FIVE. This was not specified on the menu (see my upload). I also feel cheated on by this since auto gratuity is usually for 6+, and 21% is a bit more than others. My bill only stated 1 guest, so my guess is it 's not an auto system function. No other reviews mentioned this. Made me wonder if this is a restaurant policy or an act of our waiter. 4. (Again related to early closing) They didn 't actively ask if we want our side dished refilled, or state no more dish dish refills after last order. As a result, we receive ONE extra piece of potato as our ONLY refill to the side dishes. Feels like an insult, telling us This is what you get for coming before we close Atmosphere: (4) Nothing to comment on. Was late night , two more tables remaining after we left. Wasn 't too loud. Parking: As always, this plaza sucks for parking
