The service like Maria was very kind and generous!! The food was really yummy from the beef bulgogi, bibimbap, to the soon tofu soups. The ambiance was very good and I had a great meal with my best friends. I will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Food is always amazing. The service is great as well, with the banchan being replenished, surprisingly!

I would eat at BCD Tofu house on any day, for any occasion, at any time, but it hits especially when it's cold & rainy out and you're going to a concert at the Wiltern. There's often a wait, but it's a large establishment so it won't be long. I always get the kimchi soup with medium spice level and a seafood pancake. They bring out about 5 sides so you'll eat good. Don't forget to ask about the barley tea! And may I recommend asking them to add it to your rice bowl it's scooped out. Try it! read more

After a five hour drive, we craved hot food and this restaurant was highly recommended. A plus was it had its own parking lot in the middle of K-town. The Bulgogi & Dumpling Tofu soup and Seafood Pancake was our menu choice. The banchan tray came first & all I saw was the whole fish! Never! They were so generous with refilling the tray, too. The short ribs were tender & just delicious. The dumpling tofu soup was the perfect pair. What was more impressive was that a server came to transfer the rice in the clay pot to the metal bowl. Then she came back to cut the seafood pancake into triangles. Such hospitality! The dining hall is big, divided into smaller rooms. It is clean, casual with Korean aesthetics. This was a great dining experience. read more

It never disappoints. Very consistent In terms of quality, size and atmosphere. When Koreans eat at a Korean restaurant, you know you're getting the real deal. I wish they could set up tables in the patio again as it would shorter the lines and let us enjoy the Cali weather read more

I lovvveeee Kimchi stew & I've had it plenty of times. I didn't find anything particularly striking about BCD, but it did taste like kimchi stew & that's all that matters!! The wait wasn't that bad & the Spicy Pork Bulgogi is not as spicy as advertised! read more

My favorite BCD location. Easy check in, lots of tables, open late, portioned well and banchan refills plenty (except for a yellow corvina haha). Their galbi is flavorful and cooked proper. Their spicy raw crab is fresh and plenty, worth the value. Bulgogi is okay, I'd prob stick to the galbi and raw crab, but their Atka mackeral also looks good if I'm feeling fish!! Soup is fantastic and their stone pot rice is actually moist compared to others who might get too dry. Been many many times, always a scrumptious meal. I eat til stuffed! read more

BCD Tofu House - Spicy Raw Crab 양념게장 - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Today (5/24/2026, Sunday), we had a family dinner at BCD Tofu House. My Mom really loves this place, so we've been coming here very often for years -- probably more than 50 times. Today, I ordered the Dumpling Tofu Stew (Medium), and my father and my two brothers ordered Seafood Tofu Stew and Pork Bulgogi. My mom ordered the Combination Tofu Soup (Medium) with the Galbi Combo. All of the side dishes here are delicious, and the tofu stew is always so tasty The galbi is also really good, so everyone in our family always enjoys coming here. Today was even better because all of the staff members were incredibly kind and attentive. Especially when I accidentally dropped my chopsticks -- before I even had a chance to say that I needed another pair, one of the staff members noticed and brought me new chopsticks, saying, "Here are some chopsticks if you need them." I was really impressed by how thoughtful they were. Also, when I asked for a to-go box, they didn't just bring the box -- they also brought a plastic bag with it, which I really appreciated. I was thankful for how thoughtful and efficient all of the staff were in taking care of everything. I also really like that they serve rice in a hot stone pot, and later pour hot water into it so you can make crispy scorched rice (nurungji). I also really like that they serve fish together with the tofu stew. read more

Been coming to BCD Tofu House for years, and the food is still consistently good. The seafood pancake is always a highlight -- crispy edges, packed with seafood. The galbi combo is tender and well-marinated, and the yellow corvina (fried whole fish) is a must-order if you haven't tried it. Banchan spread is generous as always. Only complaint is prices have crept up noticeably over the years. Still good food, just not quite the value it used to be. read more

BCD Tofu House - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When some of my family members from out of town were visiting, we decided to check out BCD Tofu House. It was a Monday evening, but surprisingly still busy. We got there around 6 pm and put down our names, and within 15 minutes were seated, which was not too bad considering the amount of people who were also waiting to be seated. There were six of us, so we ordered a couple of items. We started off with the seafood pancake which was delicious. We also ordered the bulgogi, the bibimbap, galbi, and a fish dish. Each item came with a soup and rice, and there were also a bunch of small side dishes like kimchi, and other veggies, eggs, mashed potatoes, and some salads. It was a lot of food. You will definitely not go feeling hungry after a meal here, so make sure you come hungry! All the food was delicious but my favorite was the beef short ribs or Galbi as the Koreans would call it. It was super flavorful and super tender and juicy. The only thing that fell short was the service a bit. Everyone was friendly and attentive but, we didn't get our rice till almost the end of the meal. I normally like to eat the rice with the meat, so by the time it actually arrived to the table, I could barely eat it, as I was too full from everything else. Overall, it's a spacious and great place for some authentic Korean bbq and food. I can't wait to come back here again. Especially for that galbi! read more

Mother's day special... if you are a mom over 65 years old, you get free serving of spicy raw crab or a bulgogi...nice. but darn it.. I'm not 65 yet but I'm still a mom!!! so please don't say mother's day special. in around 1pm. The wait was 30 minutes. The front porch was full with people waiting. Luckily, It moved pretty fast. My serves was friendly and fast. The food came out pretty fast too. Ladies in black taking care and keeping eyes on the situation were all smiles. Comfortable Ordered set 1 and 2, with seafood pancakes. Everything is delicious. Perfect temperature and very filling. The place is packed. Only problem is... table is too small to fit all the food that we ordered. Same thing to the table next to me. No place to put their hot plates. read more

When I need a meal that never misses, BCD is always the answer. This place is as consistent and reliable as it gets, and honestly feels like a home cooked meal from grandma every time. It's also home to one of the best late night eats in the city. My go to is the LA galbi combo and spicy pork bulgogi, and the flavors are always on point. Portions here are huge! Food comes out fast and the banchan spread is incredible. The fish cakes and fried fish are easily my favorites. Service is amazing no matter how busy it gets, any time of the day. This is Korean comfort food at its finest and I'll keep coming back whenever I need that warm hug of a meal. read more

A friend from K-town suggested this place, so I gave it a shot, and it did not disappoint. We ordered two BBQ combos (beef short ribs + chicken teriyaki), which was honestly the perfect amount for three people. Super filling -- we all left with full, happy tummies. We got there around 11:30 a.m on a Saturday and it was perfect timing. By the time we were halfway through eating, there was already a waitlist forming, so definitely come early if you can. read more

Hands down the best tofu soup & galbi in LA!! My go to is the LA Galbi Combo, which comes with BBQ short ribs, stone pot rice, and tofu soup. I usually get the seafood tofu soup because it comes with shrimp and clams! The BBQ short ribs are insanely good and tender. Well marinated and glazed with a semi sweet sauce sizzling over a pan of grilled onions. The flavors are immaculate and it pairs so well with the white rice. I love how the rice is served in a stone pot because the rice is crispy on the bottom and soft on the top. Best of both worlds! The tofu soup always comes with an egg and has great savory flavors. Tofu is soft and fresh. I also love the complimentary side dishes they give (kimchi, fried fish, fish cake). Free parking lot! Wait times could get long so I'd recommend getting there early to beat the rush! Super spacious inside with the choice to sit in booths or at regular tables. Service is great and quick. I love BCD!

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I was brought here by my friend, he regularly come here and recommended. I was told that despite a lot of people waiting, they have plenty of tables inside and the line moves very fast. I found that was true and very happy about that. We just ordered tofu soups. When they brought the fish out I thought it was a mistake because I didn't ordered it. I just found out that was complimentary. I was very impressed. Customer service deserves 5 stars sides dishes kept on coming and kimchi was very fresh and delicious. My seafood tofu was also tasty. Highly recommended. read more

Fourth review with two stars in my over 7 years of being a Yelp Elite.... Sadly, it had to be done. So I came to this location with a couple of out of town Korean friends on a Saturday afternoon, at around 7pm (one was visiting for a week, the other has been living and working here for the past 4 years but also originally from Korea). One of my friends had to wait in the car because she had to finish some work, meanwhile, my other friend and I put our names down for a party of 3 for a table, and waited outside (you have to wait in the open lobby area that's just outside the restaurant to get a text message). Once the text message arrived, at around 7:45pm, my friend and I walked over to speak with the two hosts and let them know we were next, one was named Alejandro and the other was some nice Korean woman I wasn't able to get the name of. As I approached Alejandro, I started dialing my other friend that was in the car and talking with her on the phone, letting her know to make her way over. As I was doing this, I showed him my text message to the host Alejandro, and he proceeded to ask me if the full party was here (he saw I was on the phone), I quickly interrupted my friend on the phone to tell him that two of us were, but the other one was already on her way, as a matter of fact, she was exiting my car and less than 25 meters away. As I was trying to explain this to the host Alejandro (and yes, I do catch the irony of the dude having my same name, unfortunately, we do not have the same manners, haha) what followed from him was the most loud, relentless, obnoxious berating ever, telling me how the whole party should be present, blah, blah, blah. I was trying to explain to him that my friend was walking over, but he kept being rude, obnoxious, talking over me, and not letting me explain myself. Since he was berating me as if I was some 3 year old toddler that he'd been scolding the whole day, and to avoid escalating further, I told him that we wouldn't be talking anymore and I told my Korean friend to instead talk to the Korean hostess himself, and I distanced myself from the dude. Not even 2 minutes had passed when my other friend (as I was just trying to tell the host Alejandro) walked in through the door, and the Korean hostess was able to get us seated (I asked her about the name of the dude that had been berating me and scolding me, without letting me talk, and she hesitated at first but eventually told me his name was Alejandro). The meal followed. Probably 20 to 30 mins later, what looked like the assistant manager of the restaurant (some Korean dude I couldn't even get the name of) approached our table acknowledged and nodded toward my two Korean friends, (my back was facing the entrance of the restaurant, I was facing the corner windows), and once he saw me and noticed whatever he had to notice, he quickly ignored me and didn't even give me a nod or anything. Two extremely rude individuals in one evening is a tad much. My friends and I really enjoyed the food, and although I've been a regular at this location for several years already, it will no longer be the case after this bad experience. read more

I've passed by BCD so many times in ktwon and know Rose loves this place so I finally had to try it for dinner with some friends. Although there is ALWAYS a line outside they are pretty efficient with their system and it goes by quickly. They also have a parking lot which is a plus in this area. For a group of 3 for a Thursday night dinner we were seated within 10 mins. Once we sat down and were ready to order, we got food within 10 mins (SO FAST) Had to try a couple of their popular items such as the + Assorted Soon Tofu (tofu is so soft and glad I got mild - they do not kid you with the spice) + Galbi (nice sweetness to balance the spice of the soup) + Seafood pancake (great crunch and texture change from the other items) I also enjoyed that the banchan came with a mackerel and was a nice addition to what you normally get. I was also debating on getting the marinated crab but it said spicy so this time I opted out haha I see why they are a favorite and would definitely come back to try their other meats and maybe venture to a new spice level. read more

I've been here many times so this review is long overdue. BCD is the perfect casual dining that is good for any occasion, whether you're solo dining for lunch at 1:30 pm, or drunk at 1:30. I also get a combo which comes with a meal & tofu soup for around $30 which is a pretty good deal. The banchan is always fresh and really tasty, and I've tried a few of the entrees including the LA Galbi, the Spicy Pork Bulgogi, and the Bulgogi combo. Everything has been super filling, comforting, and packed with flavor. There's usually a wait, but service is always really fast once seated! read more

Heard so much about this place and finally got to try the seafood tofu soup. Service was quick and efficient. The place was clean and spacious. I can't wait to come back to try more!

Went back with a bigger group and although the food is good, the experience wasn't as amazing as it was last time. I felt like we had to keep asking for things that they kept forgetting and when we did, they seem to be annoyed that we were asking for it, even though they were the ones that had forgotten about our ordered items. That being said, we will still probably be back. read more

This BCD has always served my well both in terms of food quality and service. This place has a great selection of banchan compared to other BCD locations and the soup and fish always tastes great. The service is always really respectful and fast despite the amount of customer this location gets. I think this location is great but you really need to come at the right time to enjoy it. Also for banchan refill this location doesnt have a banchan cart so you really have to page the workers. This is the most popular BCD location so make sure you consider wait and come really early or really late. The seats are comfortable plenty of space inside this BCD and restrooms are clean. read more

I love BCD Tofu House! I had a taste for a kimchi stew and beef bulgogi and this place nailed both! I treated myself to lunch and ordered the kimchi stew with bulgogi. I loved how they gave me an egg to put on the inside of my steaming hot stew and the personalized fish as my starter. The banchan was delicious as well and I really enjoyed the kimchi. I love this location because it is clean, well ran and organized. Overall, this location has great service! I was seated immediately when I walked in and was given water as soon as I sat down!

Iconic spot in Ktown that my friends love to eat at very often, especially in the night time. I loved coming here last time and the food just hit the spot. Thank you BCD for taking care of us all very well for each of those times!!! It's a blessing if the wait isn't too long because the wait here can get very long, but personally once you sit in and order, the wait for the food isn't too long and you get your hot plates after a short and decent amount of time!!! You can drink soju with your meals, they give a pretty large bottle and it's the original flavor. There's an outdoor waiting area to wait at while you wait for a table to clear. Perfect for large groups and the staff here are very nice and efficient. My go-to is their LA galbi with the bowl of hot tofu soup of my protein liking. The fish is usually super tender and soft despite being fried, and the kimchi here is crunchy. A plate of japchae here is also a very good sized portion. I love japchae so I was super full eating all of this. read more

Our group of 7 waited around 30 minutes to get seated. It was a very busy Saturday night, and I think it was K-Expo weekend. == FOOD == We got 6 tofu soups, 1 japchae, and 2 galbi plates. Tofu soups were standard. This Korean japchae was absolutely delicious. It made for a wonderfully comforting and authentic side dish. == SERVICE == Service was very good, the workers were very attentive. I wish they refilled our banchan more often though. == AMBIANCE == Interior has televisions playing ads and showing celebrities that came to BDC Tofu House. read more

I and my family always go here for the tofu soup. In terms of the tofu soup, hands down, this is the very best place to go. Their soup, side dishes and kimchi, fish are so good and so authentic. The only thing is, you will have to wait around an hour at least and they are that popular. So, you have to come early or later but I believe they have waiting list online by yelp now. The parking is plenty and quite bit and they open 24 hours. Inside of the restaurant is a bit too noisy and loud but not too bad though. The service is consistently good and friendly. I just love this place and I can't say enough of this place. read more

When you're craving soft tofu soup, this is a good place to try. Their soft tofu soup is decent. I always order it medium spicy, but it's not very spicy. Their kimchi is usually very good, but today it was a bit bland. However, their spicy squid banchan is always good -- very tasty, and the garlic flavor blends well. One of my favorite banchan dishes is the fish cake; their fish cake is flavorful, and the sauce is well absorbed. The bibimbap comes with extra gochujang sauce. Thankfully, we didn't use it all! I recommend starting with half and adding more if needed. I like their spicy pork bulgogi -- it has a fiery, smoky flavor and the portion is large for one person. Definitely worth getting it to-go for the next day's meal. One thing I noticed: sometimes they scoop out the rice in the bowl and pour hot water in it, and sometimes they don't. Today, they didn't. It would be better if they were more consistent. Service is about 5 out of 10. The staff seem to just do their job without much attention to the tables. The host, cashiers, and some servers don't smile at all -- it feels a bit robotic, which is disappointing. I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I'm giving 4 stars because of the food. read more

Can't go wrong with BCD! Been coming here for years and it never disappoints and always hits the spot. I do hate how their prices go up pretty much each year, but it is one of best tofu's in LA. The service is usually hit or miss depending on how busy it is, but the servers do try their best. Today I went with my kid and was surprised to see they added a kids menu! Comes with super mild tofu, rice, dumplings, and choice of bulgogi or chicken teriyaki. Made the dining experience for the kiddo much more enjoyable read more

My mom was craving Tofu soup and she used to go here alot years ago. So glad we did, loved the menu options, portions were good, and super friendly staff. They were so busy and they managed to be attentive with our requests. Ordered the kimchi tofu soup with bulgogi and chicken teriyaki combo. My mom ordered the seafood tofu soup with galbi combo. Both were delicious, but definitely prefer the galbi - will order that next time. Their banchan was so good, kimchi was crunchy, just the way I like it! And more than enough choices to go with our combos. We also ordered the fried garlic tofu and japchae - also very good. Will Definitely be back. 10 out 10 for me! read more

Came here for lunch today! Food: We ordered the spicy pork bulgogi w/ original beef soon tofu soup and a seafood pancake. The flavors are amazing! Each bite was a new flavor, and I loved it. I don't usually give 5 stars but this place takes the cake! The wait isn't long for food. They are always refilling you with the banchans (sides). The cucumber salad and fish cake sides were my favorite! The soup was perfect for the rainy weather in LA today. Perfectly seasoned. The seafood pancake was fried really well. They do not skimp out on the amount of seafood they add to the pancake. Service: All the staff are super attentive. They walk by and refill your waters and side dishes without you even having to ask. I think that is a best type of service . Parking: There is a FREE parking lot with LOTS of spots for the restaurant. Drinks: They provide free iced water and warm barely tea! We tried both, and the tea is great. Overall: 5/5; I don't think I could find a complaint. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. They put so much tofu in your soup! They are not stingy about their food. It's a great place to catch up with a friend or have a family dinner. The wait isn't long to get in to be seated. We were 6th on the waitlist and got in within 10 minutes. I would come back and recommend it to others! read more

Grew up in LA K-Town so this place holds a dear place in my heart. My family used to eat here during special occasions or when we finished Sunday church at St. Basil. As an ode to my dad, I took him here for a little celebratory lunch before he went back to the Philippines. We opted for a surf-n-turf option so we ordered the mackerel and LA galbi ribs. Each meal set comes with your own soon tofu, rice and banchan. The mackerel was cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside but yet soft white meat inside. The squeeze of lemon brings this S-MACKerel over the top. Now of course, this fish has a distinct flavor so if fish is not your jam, then I'm sure their galbi ribs will surely satisfy. The ribs are always deliciously marinated and that smoky flavor imparted by the grill is just chef's kiss. For good measure, we also ordered the fried Mandi (dumplings). They were so good and it's hard not to eat more than two. The banchan was also legit. The sundubu jigae (tofu soup) always comes out piping out and bubbly. I'm sure some people would argue that restaurants are better. But for me, this BCD tofu location beats others in customer service and food quality. The spot is easy enough to get to even in busy Wilshire area, but they do offer a large parking lot. read more

I really loved the convenience of this spot being open late. We were craving Korean food and decided to give this place a try. Even on a Thursday night around 10:30pm, it was still pretty busy. We waited about 30 minutes before getting seated, which wasn't too bad considering the time. The space itself is bright, open, and spacious, which made the wait feel worth it once we were inside. The seating layout is very open and comfortable, and the service was quick when it came to getting our food out. That said, once the food was dropped off, no one really checked back in on us. It wasn't a huge issue though, because whenever we flagged someone down, they were attentive and quick to bring whatever we needed. The food was definitely the highlight. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor. We got the LA galbi combo along with the Korean tripe soup, and you can never go wrong with galbi. It was super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The tripe soup was especially comforting, with a great balance of tripe and tofu. I liked that they give you an egg to crack into the soup while it's still steaming hot. We also ordered the seafood pancake, which was perfectly crispy and paired well with the dipping sauce. The meal came with rice and a variety of tasty banchan. If you're looking for a late night spot with solid Korean food, this place is definitely worth checking out!! read more

We love coming here for the best lunch prices and filling combos. The meat dishes are delicious and cooked well, side dishes are constantly refilled and the tofu soups had such a great spice level. I could be satisfied enough with just the soup, especially the kimchi beef soup. Service is so fast and being in seconds and thirds for us since the kimchi goes quick. The wait to get a table for 4 was only 20-30min and went really fast for a Sunday. Parking was also easy with the parking lot. This is a great regular lunch and dinner spot to trust you'll always leave happy! read more

My favorite place to eat with my family. The service is fast once you get your turn in line. The place is clean and food is delicious.

Whenever my family and I head down to Southern California, we always make sure to go to a BCD location. It's that good. Ambiance is very lively, and this place is always packed. Their portions are filling and honestly, large enough that you might have to take the leftovers home. The kids meal is available to kids 7 and below, but honestly, the portions are so large I think it would be enough for kids older than that too. Service is always amazing. In particular, we went yesterday and our server was so helpful and nice. The wait for food varies, with it either being really quick or in between. But it has never been too long, in all the times I've been here. So will I be back? Definitely! (Coming back later today in fact) read more

I went when it was raining and there was about an hour wait. I'm from oc and when im craving something that's comforting and close to home, I go to bcd because there are multiple locations there that I would always go to. I always enjoyed this location because it was big and the workers are really kind. I got the seafood pancake with the la galbi combo which i got the kimchi soup (medium spice). However, I don't know if it is normally spicy because when i had it, the spice was not there at all, so maybe they forgot? I really did enjoy the meal, everything came at a timely manner and I love the side dishes they give out. Probably one of the best kimchi and spicy cucumber sides I've had from a restaurant! I would totally come here again, and really recommend the galbi. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious:) read more
