This is an awesome spot to celebrate APAHM with all the variety of Korean dishes to choose from! My personal favorite is their Tofu Soup, or Soondubu! I like adding Seafood, but you can also get Beef, Kimchi, or Veggie! ### jadediningout — 5.0/5 · Jun 27, 2023 Hot sizzling thick marniated short ribs…. Yes please! This spot has been my go to spot since college days. I love it because it is korean Bbq but there is an option of having the meat cooked for you!! Plus I am a new mom so cooking with a baby is hard but here it is done for you!! The meat combos come out on hot sizzling plates and your choice of sides. I usually get tofu stew or dumplings as my sides! Win win ### chef.chelle — 5.0/5 · Dec 8, 2024 Friends House with friends! Enjoy delicious Korean dishes, from Seafood Pancake, to Short Rib plates, to Bibimbap, and of course Tofu Soup! I love their Seafood Tofu Soup, and especially in winter months when it’s colder! ### user_119931 — 5.0/5 · Aug 18, 2025 The portion sizes are huge, and the prices are reasonable, so I would recommend it for those who eat a lot. Two girls sharing three dishes is a bit excessive. The flavor is a little too salty for my taste. ### chef.chelle — 5.0/5 · Aug 31, 2025 Friends House will always be my favorite spot to get tofu soup! There’s something so homey and reliable about their soondubu, and it remains my favorite! I love their refillable banchan as well! ### curt — 4.3/5 · Dec 28, 2025 korean ### dinewithdani — 5.0/5 · Aug 21, 2022 It’s the sizzle for me 🔥 ### hungrykat.eats — 4.7/5 · Jan 5, 2023 With the cold season, some mixed rice on a hot stone can warm you up. As the bibimbap crisps the rice and heats the food while you eat, it is a heartwarming meal for dinner. The service was amazing as the staff passes by to provide more banchan ### san.diegofoodies — 5.0/5 · Sep 23, 2023 Been coming to this spot for 20 years now. Must have their soft tofu and other hotpots, spicy pork, and seafood pancake. ## Nearby - [insideOut](https://frankiapp.com/business/insideout-23754) — American · $$$ - 1642 University Ave (Centre St), San Diego, CA 92103, US - [Siamo Napoli](https://frankiapp.com/business/siamo-napoli-24209) — American - 3959 30th St, San Diego, CA 92104, US - [Din Tai Fung La Jolla](https://frankiapp.com/business/din-tai-fung-la-jolla-4833) — Taiwanese - 4301 La Jolla Village Dr (btwn Genesse Ave & Executive Way), San Diego, CA 92122, US - [Yun Tea House](https://frankiapp.com/business/yun-tea-house-98023) — Tea Room · $$$$ - 4344 Convoy St Suite M, , San Diego, CA 92111, US - [Haidilao Hot Pot - San Diego](https://frankiapp.com/business/haidilao-hot-pot-san-diego-31606) — Hotpot · $$$ - 4545 La Jolla Village Dr Ste F9, San Diego, CA 92122, US - [An’s Dry Cleaning Gelato](https://frankiapp.com/business/an-s-dry-cleaning-gelato-10344) — Dessert Shop · $$$$ - 3017 Adams Ave, San Diego, CA 92116, US - [Morning Glory](https://frankiapp.com/business/morning-glory-7719) — Breakfast Spot - 550 W Date St, San Diego, CA 92101, US - [Raised by Wolves](https://frankiapp.com/business/raised-by-wolves-7619) — Cocktail Bar · $$ - 4301 La Jolla Village Dr #2030, San Diego, CA 92122, US --- View full profile, photos, videos, and reviews on Franki: https://frankiapp.com/business/friend-s-house-25598
