    I've always had a great experience here! The service is quick and attentive, and they offer tons of delicious side dishes with refills. Everything is satisfying and hits the spot. If you're craving an A+ Korean food experience, this is it! Definitely a place I'd keep coming back to.

    I've come to this BCD location multiple times with my boyfriend and have had a great experience everytime. In my opinion, this place is better than the Irvine location in terms of food quality and the welcoming atmosphere. The freshness and high quality of the side dishes (especially the cucumber kimchi and potato salad) and the tofu soup (my favorite is a childhood nostalgia, the ham and sausage, and is filled to the brim with tofu) is always such a hit, especially when I'm craving something warm. My partner also has enjoyed the dolsot bibimbap, the spicy pork, and the kimchi beef soon tofu. My favorite thing to do is not eat the rice directly with the tofu soup, but have it with the hot barley tea poured into the rice stone pot (as requested). My boyfriend tried that for the first time on our most recent visit and really enjoyed it as well. Additionally, the service is great here. They fill up the side dishes frequently as requested and make sure your water and tea are topped up. In particular, I really like a worker named Julie, who is hilarious and also makes sure to thoroughly top up whatever side dishes my partner and I request. I hope to continue being a patron of this location and highly recommend visiting!

    Banchan spread, fish cakes and potato salad were my personal faves!

    Went on a Friday night and it was fairly busy, but the wait wasn't too bad though for a party of 3 (~ 13 minutes). I ordered the raw marinated crab combo and it was the perfect amount of food. It comes with a small version of their tofu stew and rice. The raw marinated crab was SO good too, good level of spice and very flavorful. They do not skimp out on the marinade either! Their banchan is also yummy, and I love that they provide a fried fish! You don't normally see that at other Korean restaurants and it's so yummy. The servers are also very kind and attentive. You just can't go wrong at BCD!

    Went out for a dinner of 4 on a Saturday night. The line was long but the turnover is quite fast so we got seated not long after we joined the wait-list. We all order different things off the combo list, which came with a soft tofu soup each. We were also served a fried small mackerel as an appetizer. The fish was a little bony as mackerel tends to be, especially when you're frying the whole fish, but the taste was great. The rice served in the hot stone was fluffy and of the perfect consistency. I already had one small mackerel as an appetizer so I wish I would have chosen a different entree rather than a larger mackerel, but it was still good. I really enjoyed my tofu soup. It even came with a raw egg to crack inside so that this soup could cook it. This hot stone keeps it blazing hot the whole time you're sitting there. And the banchan was definitely flowing. They refilled it multiple times so we definitely felt like we got our fill of kimchi, potato salad, cucumbers, and other pickled veggies. There are a lot of vegetable and vegan options here so it's great if you have some of those in your crowd. Not the fanciest place, but we were well fed and the quality of everything was nice. A solid choice if you're in the area and craving Korean tofu.

    Had a nice dinner with a few friends on a Friday night! The wait wasn't too ling, about 20 minutes with aot of people waiting outside. Ordered combos of Spicy Bulgogi, Crsb, and the Galbi. Each combo comes with a decent tofu soup serving that's more than enough, unless you want just the single large bowl. The servers and host were quick and professional, everything came in and out fast. This place is awesome. I've eaten here before, it's been a long time. Out of k the amazing restaurants on this street, this one of the best outings I've had. Great experience, decent price, well worth it.

    Come here a lot with colleagues and friends and it never disappoints! Service is super fast and friendly, food comes out super hot, and the ambiance is casual, bustling, with reasonable levels of noise. Great for lunch!

    Not sure when this started, but this is the first time I've seen a banchan cart going around at BCD! Someone goes around pushing a cart of banchan containers on ice asking if you want refills of kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cake, bean sprouts, potato salad, and preserved squid. It's great! The kimchi was a little inconsistent during this particular visit (e.g. the first batch was very bland, but the second batch was super salty), but the other side dishes made up for it. They still have some of the best fish cake around! Their fried fish appetizer is always good, and I look forward to it whenever I come to BCD. The Dumpling Soon Tofu is always my go-to. They give several smaller dumplings in the soup rather than a few large ones, which I prefer! The soon tofu always comes out piping hot and delicious. The menu says that you get an egg by request only, but our server made it seem like it's always included. Either way, ask for one just in case because the egg make the soon tofu even better! Their Seafood Pancake is also good, nice and crispy! I like it has a decent amount of seafood, including shrimp, squid, and mussels (which I haven't seen in other restaurants' seafood pancakes!). I also appreciate that they give each person their own dish of sauce, so you can feel free to double dip to your heart's content!

    BCD Tofu House is the most globally successful Korean tofu restaurant and remains the gold standard for soondubu. This location continues to excel, serving exceptionally fresh and delicate soft tofu in rich, deeply flavorful broths, accompanied by vibrant banchan and their crisp, award-winning kimchi. What truly earns my highest praise, however, is their yangnyeom gejang (spicy raw crab). The crab is impeccably fresh and top quality, with a naturally sweet, jelly-like texture that melts in your mouth. The marinade strikes a perfect balance of gochugaru (Korean chili powder), soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and sugar, creating a bold yet harmonious blend of savory, sweet, and umami flavors. This dish is a family favorite and an absolute explosion of taste--deeply addictive thanks to the contrast between the silky crab, assertive chili heat, and fragrant garlic. The galbi (marinated beef ribs) was also outstanding: exceptionally tender, savory, and sweet, with a smoky depth that made every bite memorable. The restaurant itself is clean and welcoming, with friendly, attentive service that enhances the overall dining experience. This BCD Tofu House location continues to uphold the brand's reputation for excellence and consistency.

    I came here around 7 pm on a Saturday and we only had to wait five minutes. Thankfully they have some benches inside so I didn't have to wait outside. They even apologized for the wait which was kind. The menu is pretty straightforward which you also use as a placemat. I ordered the bulgogi and soup and it came with a bunch of side dishes like fish and kimchi. Honestly eating all the side dishes made me almost full and made the price of the meal completely worth it. The soup and bulgogi were really good and their tofu really is that soft! I took some boxes to go since I couldn't finish it all and it made a nice meal for the next day. The service was really good as well and our server was very attentive and helpful. We parked pretty far into the parking lot since it was pretty crowded

    BCD Tofu House is hands down one of the best spots for Korean comfort food. Their soon tofu is incredible--rich, flavorful, and always served piping hot in the stone bowl. Every bite is packed with deep flavor, and you can really tell the quality is top-notch. The banchan (side dishes) are always fresh and delicious, and they bring out so many that you feel taken care of from the moment you sit down. Whether you go with beef, seafood, pork, or combo tofu, you really can't go wrong here. Service is fast and attentive, the restaurant is clean, and the atmosphere is welcoming. This is the kind of place you come back to again and again when you're craving real Korean comfort food. Highly recommend--BCD never misses.

    Seriously can't go wrong with BCD Tofu House. It's consistent, delicious, and always good, any time of the day. Service is usually pretty good. Expect it to be a bit slower when they're busy, but from my many experiences here, they're usually pretty good regardless of how busy it is. Expect it to be a loud environment. Plenty of seats but when it's busy (read: weekends and nights) expect it to be a bit packed. They usually play kpop on the speakers, ranging in generations, which is great. Parking can be tough - it's shared with the plaza with plenty of other businesses and restaurants, but even if you're parking "far" it's still not that far of a walk. Overall, 10/10, would keep coming back again.

    Was so good we finished it all
    Jane K.

    Had a great experience at BCD Artesia! The service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure our table had everything we needed throughout the meal. A special shoutout to Katherine, who was especially kind and helpful during our visit. She was very attentive to our needs which made my experience more enjoyable. The food was also delicious. Everything came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. My fav is the Assorted Soon Tofu, it comes with beef, shrimp and clam. So good! Between the great food and the outstanding customer service, it was an all-around wonderful dining experience. I look forward to coming back again soon.

    Do they Accept reservations?

    Sorry, I've never made a reservation or been there myself, so it would be best to contact them directly.

    Do they still have the hot stone bulgogi?

    Hi Abi, Unfortuantely we no longer have hot stone bulgogi on our menu at any of our locations.

    Is there a private area to seat about 25 people to celebrate 100th day?

    I don't believe so after going there for years.

    Do you still have outdoor seating?

    They have still have outdoor seating place.

    Does this establishment have gift cards or certificates?

    I believe they would as they are a big chain in Southern California. Best bet would be to call the restaurant and ask directly. Good luck!

Lol it's located in a plaza, so there's plenty of parking! They start karaoke around 7p and it was a fun time lol. The food is great, highly recommend the pad thai, krapow over rice, and the Lao style papaya salad! The food is sooo flavorful and depending on who makes the Lao style papaya salad (my favorite), it can be on the fishier and more pungent side. But their papaya salad was pretty balanced. Lao style is generally more sour, spicy, and pungent whereas Thai style tends to be sweeter and lighter tasting. Also, if you're not a fan of spice or have a more sensitive stomach, do NOT get medium spice lol. Your stomach might hurt.

The broth was rich, savory, and slightly spicy with that tangy kimchi flavor. The pork bone meat was sooo tender and literally fell apart! The dipping sauce made it even better too. It had a little mustardy kick that went perfectly with the pork. We also added the cheese fried rice and definitely recommend it! Crispy on the bottom, cheesy, and so flavorful from the leftover broth. The bossam was also really good! Loved the pork wrapped in napa cabbage which adds a fresh, crunchy texture to every bite. And of course, we had to get the kimbap! So delicious and the perfect bite to go with everything else. Definitely coming back when I'm craving Korean comfort food!

Their service was welcoming and laidback. After they brought out our food, they didn't really come to serve us unless we needed something. Water is provided at each table so it's more of a self-serve unless you order a drink. Ambiance was awesome; it gave off a family friendly atmosphere. There was a lot of space inside and very comforting overall. I'd definitely come back. (Sorry folks, I forgot to take a picture of the cold noodles!)

Honestly, it's basically…read morethe same broth, the king version just loads it up with brisket, tendon, tripe, and meatballs, so think of it as a fully stacked boat noodle. The broth is the star here. It's rich, flavorful, slightly sweet with a tangy kick, pretty sure there's some tangerine going on in there. Just a heads up, even "mild spicy level" has a noticeable heat, so if you're sensitive to spice, don't try to be brave... go no spice. The meats were surprisingly good, tender, not chewy, which is where a lot of places mess up. Noodles came out hot, no complaints there. We also got mango sticky rice and this is where they really sealed the deal. Mango was perfectly in season, juicy, sweet, not that sad sour off-season stuff. Sticky rice was soft and actually tasted like it was made fresh, not reheated from yesterday. Waitress was attentive and nice. Place itself is small, clean, modern, very mom-and-pop but done right, not rundown. I will definitely come back.

I like how's there's more dressing as you get the taste of it in every bite. The dressing however was a little too fish forward for me and you don't get much acid. IMO, the fish sauce and lemon (acid) should balance each other out. They use big tomatoes cut into wedges (as opposed to cherry tomatoes which I normally have at other Thai restaurants), And they give a good amount of food. Chow Mein: my boyfriend ate this. He said it was okay. It looked pretty good to me. Thai ice tea: I ordered this with boba. And as I was drinking it, I don't know what was in it but it definitely was not boba. It was orange with a chewy texture. I checked the receipt and it clearly says BOBA.

We used my room since I have a bigger room. We had plates and set ups for all five of us and we re-plated the food on the serving plates that came with the room. All the food was really tasty and everybody was happy not to have to leave the hotel. I heard compliments on the Pad Thai and the Coconut soup. It was a good idea just to do take out and eat at the hotel here.
