    Rice and noorunjii porridge
    JungYeon C.

    Many side dishes (banchan) are great. Also, it's always nice to eat freshly made rice in stone pot and get a noorungji porridge at the end is . Service is great. LA Galbi is good as well

    There was truly nothing here that I didn't like! I came with a group of 3 for a big lunch and we ordered a little it of everything. Soups and the bibimbap were my favorites, but honestly everything was delicious. Since it's been basically 0 degrees lately, I started with a vegetable soup and it was the perfect thing to warm me up. It was flavorful, steaming hot and so so good. I also loved the bibimbap! The veggies were crunchy and fresh and the meat was seasoned so good. I was the only one at the table that liked kimchi so I finished the entire little bowl, and basically had a great lunch. Everything came out quickly, they offered to wrap up our leftovers and the space is comfortable, bright and roomy. Highly recommend.

    Loved everything we tried. This is a fantastic spot for a filling lunch! The bibimbap was top notch and came with so many fresh vegetables. The pickled cucumbers were my favorite - loved the mix of all of the crunchy veggies and the soft pillowy rice. The beef bulgogi was also stand out and came in the sweetest sauce. Pan fried dumplings were another winner - they come with a mix of beef, pork and veg. I just wish there was a way to identify which were which. Service was speedy and friendly. Prices are a bit lower at lunch and you also get soups and sides with the lunch special. It's a lottttaaa food. Cannot go wrong for delicious and hearty Korean eats!

    We usually come in at around 5pm just before the parking lot gets too crowded and just before wait time gets agonizing. The banchan is delicious, generous and does help work up your appetite. We enjoy their seafood pancake here and love that theres a regular portion and a larger one. The combo meal is worth it. The LA Galbi and original tofu soup is our go-to especially during colder months. The rice is cooked perfectly and pairs so well with some hot spicy soup. We always leave full and satisfied!

    It's a blessing to live within a few miles of Fort Lee. Why? Because the Korean dining scene there is unbeatable compared to other areas... If you live in Jersey, there's no need to venture over the Hudson River to visit NYC's Ktown. Sorry, I don't make the rules ;) We decided to have lunch at BCD Tofu House, a Korean franchise that has been around since 1996. They're well known for their soondubu, a spicy soft tofu stew served in a hot stone pot. This location is in a plaza. They have a parking lot that's shared with other businesses. There's also metered street parking nearby. We walked in during prime lunch hours on a Sunday and were able to get seated as a table of 2 right away. The restaurant is casual, clean, and modern with wooden furnishings and booth seating along the walls. There's plenty of tables for small and large groups. The menu consists of traditional Korean dishes like japchae (glass noodles), haemul pajeon (seafood & green onion pancake), galbi (ribs), bulgogi (sliced rib eye), bibimbap (mixed rice & veggies), soondubu (spicy soft tofu stew), yangnyeom gejang (spicy raw crab), etc. They also have soju, beer, and wine. Lunch specials are from 10:30am-3pm and are a few dollars less than regular/dinner prices. To get a bang for your buck, I recommend ordering an entree combo. You get a LOT of food for a lower price. We started our lunch with complimentary banchan. Some of the side dishes included kimchi, broccoli, black beans, potato salad, and a fried whole fish. Most of them have free refills! All were tasty and fresh, but my favorites were the beans (kongjang) and fish. We ordered two lunch entree combos: C2 Bulgogi (sliced rib eye) $27 C3 Spicy Pork Bulgogi $25 Each combo includes white rice + your choice of soondubu. You can customize the proteins, toppings, and spice level of your soup. We went with a kimchi beef (mild spice) and a dumpling (beef, pork, vegetable) with no spice (plain). All of the food came out in hot stone pots, ensuring everything was piping hot and fresh! The portions were more than enough for one person. The soondubu really hit the spot. Not only is it a delicious stew, but it's also nutritious. They give you a raw egg to crack into your bubbling broth, which adds a creamy texture to it. The tofu was soft and silky. The pieces of beef were large and tender. The broth was salty, rich, and comforting. It was a vibrant red color and had the right level of spice that I requested (mild). The kimchi added tangy and bold flavors to the broth. The meats were juicy and tender. The bulgogi was sweet and savory. It was marinated in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. The spicy pork had a nice kick of spice from the chili paste marinade. The white rice was perfectly cooked and served out of a hot stone bowl. You have the option of pouring barley tea into the bowl and mixing it with the leftover layer of rice on the bottom - this creates a rice porridge (nurungji tang). I didn't care much for this... it was just mushy rice with hints of a nutty/roasted tea flavor. Service was quick, efficient, and attentive. Even though they were constantly busy, the staff turned tables over quickly. We didn't feel rushed. Our server didn't miss a beat from start to finish. He didn't hover over us and was there at the right times when we needed him. Our banchan, water, soups, and entrees all came out within a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend a visit to BCD to satisfy your soondubu or Korean cravings! Great value + flavorful food + generous portions = happy belly.

    This is my go-to restaurant when I'm craving some traditional Korean food. They do not take reservations, but they will give you a buzzer and the 45-minute wait during peak lunch hours on a weekend will not feel so long because you can have a coffee at the Korean cafe 2 businesses down, like my group of 4 did! The food is so delicious and the waitress was so kind. She helped us understand foods and ways of eating the food that we were not familiar with. This restaurant is bright and crowded at all hours, but full of Korean food lovers for a great experience all-around.

    TLDR: The most iconic name in soft tofu, at least in the tristate area. Kimchi pork is my go to, extra fish IYKYK. The spicy marinated crab is also good and if you're going in the fall - Autumn Special is a must! Since the Bayside location closed down - we're all patiently waiting for it to reopen but for now, the Fort Lee location is the best one IMO. It's also more comfortable and the service is great. Your rice actually comes in the hot stone too. Kimchi pork is the better choice as opposed to the more popular mixed, at least I think so. It's tangy, a good amount of pork, flavorful and you can adjust the spice of course. The Autumn Special is my favorite. A hot stone bowl served with 7 different kinds of mushrooms and stir-fried pork. It also comes with a small stew too. While it's nothing hot and new - it is a classic and for good reason.

    Where else would one go for hot stone pot soft tofu stew? Because they sell BCD-branded ready-made stew packs in Asian supermarkets, this restaurant has become a bit of a household name. But I believe there's still no comparison to getting it fresh from the restaurant. A few things make the dine-in experience super positive: - The variety and plethora of banchan, or free side dishes. I've noticed some Korean restaurants now tend to withhold these until your entrees come, and some even add a surcharge to refills. Not here. They put down plates of pickled veggies, potato salad, and even a whole crispy fried fish (one per entree ordered) before you even place your order. When our large party asked for refills, it was given with nary a stink eye. You've got to love that. - The hot stone pots are actually hot. This sounds a little a little ridiculous to say, on par with saying a black cat is 'actually black', but I can't tell you what a pet peeve it is to be served stew in a cast pot or pan that quickly chills. Here, my stew actively bubbles for a minute or so after it's set down before me because the pot has been properly heated. Since they serve raw eggs to crack into a stew, the hot temperature also delivers some peace of mind that the egg will properly cook. - Sharp service. Because a soon tofu meal comes with hot stone pot rice, they'll serve you your rice and typically ask you if you want to make nurungji with the stuck on layer of rice. This is where they pour barley tea into the pot and leave it to make a porridge to enjoy at the end of the meal. Because of this, I've noticed how our servers tend to keep a close eye on the pace of our meal so that they can swoop in and serve the porridge when it looks like we're at last bites. Someone was always on hand for banchan or water refills, extra plates, napkins - you name it. When I visited most recently, there was some construction in the upper parking lot that restricted the number of spots so I paid for street parking. But when I asked others in our party where they'd parked, they mentioned an attached underground lot that I'd completely not known about. So I'm here passing the good word onto you all, friends.

    A very consistently good soft tofu place in Fort Lee. I always get the mushroom soft tofu - "mild" level. The side dishes are very decent, and the hot pot rice is sooo good - where they pour you some water to enjoy the leftover rice later. Their combo menu is various too where you can order either some fish or marinated meat. We usually get the stir-fried pork or beef, or mackerel to go with the small portion soft tofu. And above all, their service is good !!!!

    Korean restaurant @ Fort Lee, NJ We had lunch Friday around 1:30pm and the restaurant was very busy. The restaurant is located where the Blue angel bakery is and there were ample parking spaces. We ordered lunch combo menu. The spicy pork bulgogi and seafood soft tofu soup were tasty, LA galbi was tender and nangmyun noodles were chewy and bibim sauce weren't too spicy. The grilled mackerel was cooked well. The servers were very busy but was easy to flag them.

    Banchan

    BCD Tofu House is always so consistent, which is why I keep coming back! My go-to is the medium spicy mushroom sundubu, and I love that every meal comes with their crispy fried croaker and an assortment of delicious banchan. My favorite side dishes are the fish cakes, broccoli, and spicy cucumbers. They'll sometimes include special banchan like acorn jelly with sauce or kongnamul muchim (seasoned soybean sprouts), which is always a nice surprise. Great Korean food and delicious every time!

    Came here on a cold winter day looking for something soupy and spicy. They have tricky parking but more down the ramp. Probably best to come to this area on a weekday. Place was busy and packed for weekday lunch. We were seated quickly. They gave us recommendations and answered questions. Professional and friendly. Overall the food was good! Like Korean home cooking. Quick and uneventful. We will visit them again or another BCD house. Recommended!

    Tony C.

    Definitely one of the best Korean comfort food experiences I've had recently. Highly recommend for anyone craving hearty and authentic Korean cuisine!

    Are there any vegan and gluten free options? If so, what are they? Thank you!

    I can't say they have any main course items specifically for vegan eaters. It's mostly based around a meat, fish & tofu.

    Do you are here steam egg?

    No steamed egg here which is surprising for a K BBQ Rest but then again they're known for their tofu soups. I actually ordered 2 fried eggs and it works just as well over rice.

    If we order takeout, do the dishes come with bachan? If so, do they all come with it or are just a few provided? I love all of them and don't want to miss out if we order takeout. Thanks!

    All of the banchan comes with the order except the salted squid.

The Budae Jjigae was savory comfort, and the Shin Ramen Fried Rice was not only abundant, but served in an adorable heart shape. Even the Kimchi Stew and Gyeran-jjim were more umami than the countless counterparts I've had elsewhere. On top of that, we got more ban chan than an attention-starved halmoni hosting her first family reunion in 10 years. Everywhere I pointed my chopsticks, I touched food. It was delightful. If I can ever gather enough people, I'd gladly infest this place again.

I really liked the gomtang as the flavors were really rich especially when elevated by the pepper. - Seolleongtang - Clear and beautiful broth that went really well with salt.

He was quick to follow up with orders/requests that didn't come through when the kitchen didn't bring them out. Usually my gripe or disclaimer I give to people is that Wooga is great at everything except wrapping up things on the end. In the past, whenever I went, it would take forever (!!!!!) to get our check and pay. It was so frustrating but this time around, it was a bit faster. It's a win-win situation because we get to pay and leave and the restaurant has another table for customers. Though on the pricier side, Wooga does check off all the boxes of: -amazing meat quality -amazing & attentive service -they don't skimp on banchans (side dishes that I heard other restaurants are starting to limit) -several meat combo options -best Korean steamed egg in the North Jersey area We tried the thinly sliced oxtails, which were really good but pretty pricey for $38cash/$39.90card for 11oz of it. There are some things that are inconvenient (long waits, very small parking lot) but it's easy to overlook them once you have a meal at Wooga. Things to know before you go: -Their menu is updated on their website if you want to check that out before you go. -The earlier you go, the better your chance of being seated quickly. Weekends are definitely a longer wait, so plan ahead. -Their parking lot is small so it fills up super quickly, so you'll have to park across the street and play Frogger (maybe you might be too young to know this reference?) to cross the 4 lanes of Palisade Ave. -When you arrive, make sure to check in with the host/hostess so that you could get a pager to know when your table is ready. Your turn can come pretty fast sometimes depending on the timing.
