Everything is amazing when eating here, I have no words to explain how good this place is
I got the donkaksu and if was nice and large. It made me very satisfied after eating it. Will come here again in the future.
You must try this place. I ordered signature soon doo boo. It comes with side dishes and rice in hot pot. The rice was phenomenon and all side dishes are amazing. I never thought soon doo boo can be this special. I normally get problem after spicy food but I was ok with food here. I heard that they don't put any MSG, I assume that will be the reason why I was safe. I defenatly going back here, maybe soon again.
I love this place! It's so tasty!! The tables are really efficient and the service is very quick. Most of the meals are sharable and the pricing is quite reasonable for the portion sizes.

They have more things than tofu! But their tofu dish is actually pretty good. We’ve gotten the spicy tofu stew and it was so tasty and not crazy spicy which is nice.
The best thing we got was the kimchi pancake. It was so good, we almost ordered another one. Such a good companion for soju!
I enjoyed the Pork kimchi stew - Slabs of silken tofu, chewy pork meat, generous hunks of kimchi and spring onion doused in chili oil. The sides included dried seaweed, seaweed salad in a creamy mayonnaise, strips of seasoned omelette, spicy kimchi and plain rice. You dunk the rice in the soup and any of the sides or eat the sides on their own as a contrast to the spicy stew
I’m so glad I finally got to eat here—there’s always a line (especially long ones at night/on weekends) so I popped in for lunch on a week day to nab a table. The service was friendly and fast. I’ll definitely be eating here again!
Dooboo has taken over what used to be chop shop and I am not disappointed at all. The menu has heaps of variety from bbq to a la carte dishes, the side dishes are never ending and the food was amazing! I highly recommend the stew and the seafood pancake (probably the best I’ve ever had - super crisp and tasty). The bbq meat wasn’t very impressive but everything else was so good! It can be a little hard to get the waitresses attention but overall a great experience!

One word - SOTBAP, and with that word, let's begin the review for DooBoo. In Korean, Sot (솥)means pot used for cooking, and Bap ( 밥 ) means cooked rice. They have even made a YouTube video to showcase how to eat SotBap traditionally. My friends and I visited this place to have a late lunch, and we got a big table towards the end. Don't underestimate how big this place is just by seeing the storefront. They got multilevel dining and a dedicated hotpot area on the top floor.
I have ordered Beed Brisket Soy Bean Stew and upgraded it to SotBap for an additional $2. Sot bap is nothing but cooked rice but, the way to eat is a bit different. You take the rice out of the pot and eat it along with the side dishes and soup. Once you take the rice out, pour some hot water into the pot, and close the bamboo lid. This will make a Konjee (rice porridge) with the leftover crispy rice that are stuck to the walls of the pot, and you can eat it at the end to soothe your stomach.
The soup was delicious. The Fried Chicken, though a bit expensive $15.50 for a small portion, we have ordered was lip smacking. We had both Garlic and Sweet Chilli flavours to try. The cold Kimchi Noodle Soup was great. I kind of underestimated the words “cold noodles” and to be honest, it was actually one of the good dishes I have tried.
As we upgrade to SotBap we get a lot of side dishes which includes fish cakes, seaweed snacks, kimchi and more. I would say it's a great value for money upgrade for just $2.
My friends and I loved the dining experience here and would love to recommend to anyone.

My second time visiting Dooboo and I was just as impressed as the first time. Dooboo has definitely gained a lot of popularity since my last visit - we came at a time between lunch and dinner and the place was still packed!
I really like the food at Dooboo because it’s tasty, authentic and affordable. Their combo sets are really good for value and I’d definitely recommend it. We had the Pork Galbi set which also came with their famous Soon Tofu, Sotbap rice, and 5 side dishes. This time, I ate the rice properly by scooping some out, and pouring a little bit of water into the pot so that it’s easier to scrape the crispy rice bits from the bowl. Such a smart idea - and super delicious! It went so well with the spicy savoury tofu stew, and the tofu was so light and creamy.
Next was the Donkatsu, and they’re not lying about it being king-sized! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pork cutlet this big! But it was super delicious - so crispy on the outside, whilst the pork was still juicy and tender. I loved the sweet sauce which was doused on. Definitely a dish to share!
We also had the Tteokbokki (with extra ramen) and Seafood Pancake on the side. You really can’t go wrong with these dishes. Although the seafood pancake was lacking in seafood, it was still very crispy - not the best but not the worst we’ve had. The rice cake was quite nice and on the sweeter side. Despite adding extra ramen, the portion was still really small.
We shared all 4 dishes between 3 people and were absolutely stuffed afterwards. The portions are very generous and the flavours are great too. Definitely recommend!
I'll admit I was a bit skeptical after reading some reviews but whatever mistakes were made, the staff were quick to learn from. They were friendly and accommodating and happy to answer any questions. The food tasted beautiful and very reasonably priced. 100% coming back.
I have been here several times pre, during and post-pandemic, for the delicious signature soon tofu. Yes, there is a change in the management and with the order system like many other restaurants, but generally, the food is still taste the same. It lets us to order and pay through Mr. Yum QR code in advance before enjoying our meals.
This three storey dine in place can accommodate quite a lot of customers, and I always encourange to make a reservation in advance. Suitable for smaller group of 5-6 people rather than a big one.
Food was enjoyable, my friend Cherie said that the tteokbokki was spicy but no unbearable and Aviel mentioned that there was wedges in everything :^) Friendly staff managed to us (a group of 16) without a reservation so thank you! :)
they taste great, the server was a little bit cold, we order through the Mr.Yum.
the choices was limited but the soup did taste pretty great, may come again to try some other thing.
Great traditional Korean food, recommendable for those who love Korean food and also even for those who don't know well but want to try. Sun-dooboo soup is of course the one-pick !
Got the mainstream big pork katsu for myself, and my thought towards it instantly changed when it arrived to the table. It can easily feed 2 people if you have small appetite. The soondubu (tofu soup) was also nice as it came with a set of side dishes. Worth to try!
