I am not a bibimbap lover but this bibimbap was perfect for me. I didn't even add Kochujang sauce but it was good. The service was pretty good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was thankful that we were seated in the back with little more room so it was a big plus.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We also ordered Haemulpajoon which was decent.
Came here at 4:30 during the week with two friends and was promptly seated. One friend was late but as long as we ordered for her they allowed us to sit. The service was friendly and did not rush us. I got the mushroom tofu soup and kept it vegetarian with water based broth which surprisingly was still very flavorful. Silken tofu was good, the mushrooms cooked perfectly. I don't eat much of the banchan usually, I do like the cucumbers. The fish smelled fishy to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's cozy inside, lots of wood.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is one bathroom in the back.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tables are close together, some have dividers[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We split the bill and for one meal and tip it was $27
Manhattan, NY (Koreatown) - I love BCD and frequent the one in Fort Lee pretty regularly, but for years have assiduously avoided this NYC location as it's always a madhouse every time I've come here for dinner with friends or co-workers, and because there are so many other great Korean options on this strip. But there's no denying that BCD has upped their soondubu game considerably in the last decade+ with a thicker, more deeply flavored broth, and now easily rivals my longtime favorite and gold standard, the OG So Kong Dong in Fort Lee. Then I stumbled into a hack that changed my view: lunch! I ducked in for a late lunch on a whim while walking by one day, and this turned out to be a much chiller hour, unhurried and no reservation needed. I was promptly seated, my order taken, and the banchan swiftly laid out. The banchan spread is solid across the board (the little fried fish does nothing for me, but seems to be a highlight for everyone else). I especially love the kimchi, near-perfect IMO, and the pickled cucumber. There's a modest lunch discount, which is a nice bonus for someone who likes to order aggressively. I usually get an oyster, seafood, or assorted soondubu (with a raw egg cracked in), danger spicy of course! Or go the C1 combo route with a galbi (marinated bbq beef short ribs) + smaller soondubu. It's an enormous amount of food, so I take most of the galbi home and feel no shame about it. The galbi, by the way, has also gotten noticeably better over the years - meatier, tender, and the flavor is on point. I've also enjoyed their bibimbap, bulgogi, jap chae, and seafood pancake. Finally, let's talk heat - this chili-head loooves fire! And BCD's danger level is one of the rare instances where the spice level actually meets my punishing tolerance for heat, not some pretense at "American spicy.," despite this being a chain. Their danger level actually means business and brings tears to my eyes, literally. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's still not my favorite place ambience wise, and dinner remains a contact sport I've mostly opted out of, as gone are the days that I can tolerate a culinary mosh pit, and any wait longer than 10 minutes (and only for a superlative place) will trigger an automatic ejection of my presence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But for lunch? Unexpectedly great. 4 stars for dinner, 5 for lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]
Love love love the tofu stew in this establishment. I usually get the seafood tofu stew. I've been here quite a few times and the service here was always 10/10. I was seated immediately and ordered promptly. The best part of dining here is the ban Chan. You get the typical beans, kimchi, egg, fish. The ban Chan here is so delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance here is quite nice. The seats are comfortable and there is a fantastic vibe to the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pricing is comparable to other Korean spots in this area but I feel like you really get a bang for your buck at this restaurant.
This will be the third or fourth time for me to go to this specific BCD tofu house. The Galbi never disappoints. It is always well marinated and very juicy and tender. It is perfectly grilled with a little bit of the burned sides. I chose the assorted tofu stew with mild, which keeps me from sweating too much from the spice. The portion is really big for me too that I can do takeout for another meal.
[[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is very large but because they are so popular, there will be a line for popular times.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have 2 separate lines for parties of 2 and parties of 3+. Our party of 2 got there around 5:30pm on a weekend and thankfully only waited a few minutes. Great deal on food! They are very generous with the banchan. The seafood soondubu stew was very seafood-y (which I liked). Everything was very good. You can control the spice level - beware, the spicy levels are quite spicy!! Can't wait to return!
BCD Tofu House continues to keep its Korean eatery traditions despite becoming an increasing tourist attracting restaurant. Casual restaurant with no frills attached, menus in Korean and English, endless banchan with unsolicited refills, attentive servers who never check in but are by your side the moment you need them. If you know, you know. The galbi and tofu stew are always delicious, but this visits highlight is the seafood pajeon. Such a hit. Always so crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and filled with seafood. So delicious! Of course there is always a wait. We went on a Saturday Night at 7:30. We were told 1 hour wait and we stood outside behind 5 parties of 4-5 in front of us. 3 parties gave up and left. We were seated in 20 mins total. I encourage people to just deal with the wait - it is almost always faster than they estimate! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was my first time sitting on the 2nd floor which I preferred over sitting downstairs because it's a bit more quiet and chill. 1st floor is packed and busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Regardless that's all part of how casual this dining experience is.
I ordered 2 L.A Galbi with soup and asked for side dishes with my order. Unfortunately, I only received one set of side dishes for one order, even though I ordered two meals. This is really disappointing because I've had the opposite experience at other Korean restaurants--side dishes are usually included generously and I don't even have to ask. Because this keeps happening, I won't be ordering from here again.
BCD is about as reliable as they get. Their soon dubu tastes a little more like jjambbong than the traditional style, but it's still delicious. And honestly, where else in NYC can you get a complete, satisfying Korean meal like this at this price point? That said, their spicy pork BBQ was not good at all. I would recommend sticking with their soups. Service is quick and efficient.
BCD is just a classic spot and is consistently good and always tastes home-y. I decided to stop by for a quick lunch set and I'm so glad I did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There were a good amount of people eating during a weekday lunch and many were by themselves at a table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ended up taking home leftovers because there was just soooo much food in the sets! Lots of banchan!
I had a delivery order from this well known Korean soondubu restaurant. I ordered Bibimbap with Beef, Seafood Soondubu-jjigae and Rice Punch. Everything was delicious. The bibimbap was fresh and tasty. It came with an order of rice, excellent banchan, consisting of kimchi, beans, pickled cucumbers and broccoli, and, a very nice fried yellow croaker fish. The seafood soondubu had clams, mussels and shrimp in a spicy soft tofu broth...wonderful. The rice punch in a can was new to me and I enjoyed it over ice. Well packaged and fast delivery. A well known restaurant with many reviews...I can see why it is favorably rated...highly recommended...will order again.
Review Insights
Food: I got the kimchi pancake and galbi. Pancake was really good and crispy! The Galbi was a nice sweetness and marinated very well and cooked well. Service: I called 2 mins before i walked in and they said there was no way and when i got there it was a 25 min wait. That was interesting, other than that I had to ask for sides twice before getting extra, everything else was good. Noone really came to check in besides clearing plates. Ambiance: [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice and cool, but quite crowded. Good for a casual dinner or lunch[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more
One of my guilty pleasures / comfort places to visit is BCD Tofu House. I have been coming here since I was a student and it doesn't disappoint. The food tastes good, the lunch prices are reasonable and honestly they have better ban chan than a lot of other places. (And where else are you going to get a full fish as a complimentary ban chan?) When you go you just have to get one of the soon tofu. It is their iconic dishes We ordered: LA Galbi Seafood soon tofu Tripe soon tofu Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the soon tofu. read more
The food was solid, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere was exactly perfect for an earlybird dinner reunion of college friends that happened to be taking place between World Cup matches[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (so the place was full but there was no line when we arrived; when we left there was an outdoor queue with a stanchion separation for groups of 1 or 2, vs 3+). The servers kept things moving but with very minimal interference and no extra visits; we would have liked a little more attention when we finished some of the banchan and kind of expected they would be replenished, but we certainly were fine without it. And the entrees were delicious and [[HIGHLIGHT]]even with other tables almost on top of each other it never felt crowded due to partitions that I saw them remove for some larger groups needing tables "together", and I never felt part of someone else's dinner convo.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Presentation was amazing and food was delicious - Soon Tofu Soup with seafood for me, which arrived bubbling like a cauldron. It came with a raw egg that you crack into the soup and let it cook to your level of doneness. Hubs got hot stone bibimbap and as we all know the crispy rice is the best part of it... it's just tough to separate it from the actual stone dish so you can eat it, especially if you wait until it cools and fuses. If I was there with more stomach space I wanted to try the galbi, and in fact there's a weekday lunch combo that could facilitate that. read more

The bonchon was unique and different compared to what's typically being served in the Bay Area. What surprised me was the hot dog bonchon, which looks simple to prepare at home. The tofu stew was not bad, but it could use aromatics and addition of zucchini to make it a balanced. read more

This is my first time going to BCD Tofu since the Bayside location closed so was excited to try it again! The service is extremely efficient, when I joined the waitlist, I was 16th, and I was able to be seated in less than 20 mins! I loved their fried fish as part of their banchan and was excited to try it again after so many years! I find the Korean pancake to be extremely hot and crispy when it arrived, and I loved that as well! For my entree, I got the beef soondubu and spicy pork combo. I had my soondubu mild, and did wish I had ordered it a bit spicier. read more

The LA Galbi was decent. Hit the spot but was nothing special. Quick service once I was seated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Almost hit my head every 5 seconds upstairs lol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would come back if there's no line, but otherwise will try elsewhere next time I'm in KTown. read more
One of my favorite spots to eye while hunting for lunch in K-Town. I've walked past this place countless times during lunch breaks and in the evenings and there's always a line, which finally convinced me to try it. Almost every dish features tofu, and the menu has a great variety: dumpling tofu soup, seafood tofu, beef or pork options, plus a few non-soup dishes. I ordered takeout for lunch and immediately wondered why the bag was so big. Once I got back to the office, I understood why the portions are huge. Everything was packed neatly and thoughtfully, which I really appreciated. Now for the best part: the food. The seafood tofu soup was rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. It came loaded with soft tofu, mussels, clams, and even a large shrimp. I love shrimp... just not when it's staring back at me so I skipped that part. Portion-wise, this could easily feed two people or be saved for another meal. The banchan were also a win broccoli, kimchi, cucumbers, and a small fried fish. When you order, they ask your spice level (extra spicy, mild, or non-spicy), which is always appreciated. Will I be back? Absolutely. Next time, I want to dine in and experience the service firsthand. Especially given the fact that the ambiance felt relaxed and enjoyable. The hosts greets you at the door. Really nice looking spot. read more
BCD Tofu House is always my first stop whenever I'm in NYC and the place I take every guest who visits me. Located right in the heart of Koreatown, it's fast, affordable, and consistently delicious. Yes, there's usually a wait (it's K-Town, after all), but I tend to go later at night and it's always worked out perfectly. The dining room is surprisingly spacious, and the staff moves with lightning speed. You're seated, you order, and your food arrives before you even start to wonder where it is. The soondubu (tofu soup) hits the spot every single time rich, comforting, and customizable to your spice level. And the free banchan (side dishes) just make the whole experience even better. It's one of those meals that feels like a hug, especially on a cold NYC night. If you're looking for a reliable, flavorful, and satisfying Korean meal in Midtown, BCD Tofu House never misses. Highly recommend! read more
Galbi here never disappoints plenty of small plate starters and everything Ive had here so far is yummy. Service can be a bit inattentive though, so you have to be ready to wave down staff for refills or to get the check. read more
Feeling down and had a migraine today. Went for the vegetable stone tofu. It was refreshing and warm and the sides were amazing and filling. Mashed potatoes were great! But; Took a bit long to get a fork from the staff They filed water timely! Only one napkin And there's a raw egg that comes with it but they didn't tell me what to do with it. They took it away. I tried asking for a cooked egg but I guess they didn't hear me. I wanted the egg. read more

This place ALWAYS has a line out the door, and I finally found the time to come after a late night out in the area. I can confirm that it is 100% worth the hype. The selection of banchan here is INSANE and all very delicious. I went with the assorted soon tofu. Because of the time and circumstances, I didn't make too big of a dent and ended up taking a bunch of it home as leftovers and oh my god were those THE BEST leftovers I've ever had. Like any soup, the more time it sits, the better it tastes, and this was absolutely heavenly. BCD - I will be back! read more
This place is run efficiently. You are seated right away and multiple staff come by to either take your order or refill your water. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt like being in middle of Seoul.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We each got the lunch special and only negative was that the soon doo boo was not hot enough (the egg yolk never got cooked). [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, the single stall bathroom was in the sub-basement and for you to get there, (we were eating on the second floor), it was a lot of stairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But the flavors of the dishes and the side banchans were on point read more
I am a fiend for Korean food. Appeals to me on such a personal level, spicy, piping hot, large portions to share family style, comfort meals. Love it. That being said I do seek out Korean food maybe more than the average person (yes I do, no question about it). I've been here plenty of times before. First time I've seen a line out the door before 11:30 am though. A lot of solo diners. They try to seat you quickly. Food comes out promptly. A little hard to flag down the server to get the bill (understandable due to the rush). Regardless I like the spot. Clean, fast, efficient and good food. They are known for their tofu which I enjoy immensely. Hopefully next time I visit, there isn't a line out the door. read more

BCD is a classic go-to in the neighbourhood, but until recently, I've only ordered takeout from here (there's always a queue,,,). I stopped by for a recent Sunday dinner and luckily our party of 2 had to wait only around 15 min to be seated (around 7pm) -- service was quick and table turnovers were quick, too. It was a bit of an unfortunate surprise that the combo meals were generally only available during weekdays (not even at the dinner price on weekends!). They had a seasonal special -- the combo with grilled atka mackerel -- that was available for dinner, so we ordered that with the seafood soondubu, as well as an a la carte order of the beef soondubu. The mackerel was tasty -- the fish was fresh and extremely well-cooked. The skin was just the right amount of crispy, and the tender flesh was so flavourful and juicy. However, it was pretty oily, and increasingly so as we got to the bottom of the fish. Portion size was really big, the two of us could barely finish. The soondubu that we ordered was also not bad , but I don't really think there was anything particularly notable about it. Portion sizes was reasonable and the tofu was silky and yummy, but I feel that the quality of soondubu here was pretty similar to that at a bunch of other restaurants in the area. Overall price point was quite good -- we had a filling and delicious meal -- but I don't think I would be too keen on queueing to eat here in the future. read more

I went in mid May on a late weekend afternoon. Line wasn't long and it went quickly. The prices on the menu did increase. Check out the latest menu I posted. I had the Summer Special combo. I chose the cold noodles and Galbi for $28. It was ok and I wouldn't get it again. It's not my style. Make sure you have the waiter to cut the noodles because it's very chewy. Might choke on it if you don't chew it thoroughly before you swallow. My friend had the Seafood Tofu. The free appetizers are good. They refill some of them. I was expecting the kimchi with a stronger taste. It was kind of bland. read more
Solid, consistent food! It's been quite a while since I've eaten in person at this Ktown location (their other remaining location being in Fort Lee, NJ) and when a friend suggested eating here, it was with a breath of nostalgic air. Back in the early 2010s (as I start reminiscing like an old person lol), their location used to be in the middle of the block (where BBQ Chicken Ktown is currently), they closed and reopened at their current address. Overall space is smaller though still enough to seat around 70-80 people on the two levels. While they have a variety of korean dishes in their menu, they're known for their soondubu, a tofu stew with Korean chili, spices, scallions and optional vegetables or protein add-in. They've been serving up a hearty version for a couple decades now. Spice level can be dictated when you order, and they provide a raw egg to break into bubbling stew--don't forget to add that immediately unless you want some pretty raw egg. Prices used to be $13.99-$14.99 back in the day and today all their soondubu options are $18.99, not bad for Ktown, though I feel like they used to add a few more things like glass noodles and veggies (squash) into their stew which I guess got cut due to inflation. Still tasty nonetheless. When dining in the the meal comes with traditional Korean banchan (side dishes), a small fried fish, and others in the vein of pickled and marinated vegetables (like kimchi, cabbage, cucumber or radish) and proteins (tofu, fish cake). These switch up depending on the day. For takeout orders unfortunately you don't get the same amount of side dishes. No reservations, it does get packed during peak hours and a small line can form outside--they wait for all parties to arrive before seating. Service is efficient though no frills, within 7-8 minutes of seating they come back to check on your order, and within 10 minutes of ordering the banchan and soondubu is brought steaming hot in a metal bowl to your table. The grilled meats take a little longer since they cook it then bring it out to you. read more
It's been so long since I've come to BCD Tofu House! There is always such a long wait! Arrived here with new friends on a Friday night around 10pm and was seated upstairs. We came after an event. FYI if you want alcohol, around this time they probably ran out lol we didn't even ask for drinks but they let us know they have no more alcohol fine with me haha Ordered the original soon tofu with pork mild with a raw egg! ($18.99), Seafood pancake ($17.99), LA Galbi ($33.99). Love it that they still have the fried fish as one of the banchans! Good was great as always! Good food as always! read more
When we arrived we were told it would be a 15 minute wait. They said that they won't take our names and just to stand in a little waiting area. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks outside. There were two floors and crowded. They called us under 15 minutes and told to go the man waving at us in the second floor. We were seated and almost immediately banchan was placed in front of us. Water came a few minutes later. We ordered two soon tofu soup. I got the seafood and my daughter got the original. When it came out, we cracked an egg into the bubbling bowl. My seafood tofu soup was very tasty. There were shrimps, mussels, and oysters. The seafood was fresh and the sweetness of the seafood seeped into the soup and tofu. The lunch version is about $18. read more
Finally got to try this place after hearing all the hype! Lots of different side dishes. We both got a soup, I got the kimchi jjigae. It was good but I was expecting it to be a bit more rich and flavorful. Make sure to crack the egg as soon as you get it so it cooks. Also be careful of the bones in the fish. Wait might be long but once you are seared the service is super quick. read more
Coming from LA, hopped off the flight needing something that I knew wouldn't miss - and on a freezing night, that would warm me up and leave me so full they'd have to roll me out like Snorlax. Staying at a hotel nearby on the late night, imagine my surprise seeing my old familiar friend BCD pop up. I already had my order ready to go: Dolsot bibimbap. Dumpling soup medium spice. And keep the banchan coming (please). This place is a no brainer. Always quality. Always quick and straightforward service. Get yourself a hot cup of buckwheat tea while you're munching. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Only bad thing is the strange dude talking to his coworker (I think?) about his moms romantic life. Brother, ew.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more
