A classic! No notes. Love how they scoop the rice for you and give you a small whole fish as an appetizer. Favorite banchan is the cucumber kimchi and really appreciate how they will refill the sides for you (refilled x3!) I always get the seafood tofu soup for some variety that I get clams, a mussel, and shrimp. Tried the seafood pancake but wasn't the biggest fan. My friend says usually they don't come with carrots read more

We had lunch here today with some visiting relatives. We had a table for 6 and were seated immediately. We had two kids with us and wanted to move a high chair to the side of the table so the parents can easily handle both kids. They told us we couldn't move the high chair there as hot food is served from the side. We found it understandable, but they did allow the table next to us to place their poodle in a carrier next to their table. My lady and I decided to share a meal and ordered the galbi beef and assorted tofu soup combo, with an order of glass noodles on the side. The glass noodles were good with the black bean sauce. The shredded scrambled egg and sliced tofu added a bit more texture with the cabbage and fungus adding a bit more of complexity and flavor to the dish. The galbi ribs had a nice char to it and the flavor was there, but the pieces were on the thinner side and the texture was a bit off. The assorted soon tofu soup was decent, but wasn't great. Overall, the experience was ok. My lady and I would recommend the Irvine location far before this one, but it wasn't horrible. The wait staff was pretty nice and service wasn't bad, but it just wasn't what we come to expect from a BCD location. read more

Hearty, comfy and volume-y!!! You can't really go wrong with BCD, but it has been years since I visited last... so I gave a try again. the food quality is the same as I remembered as well as the portion. Service was good. Not anything out standing but I do not expect anything more from BCD. Just serve the right food in timely manner and that's it. read more

I would give it 5 stars but the service was lacking a bit. Not very friendly from the moment we walked in the gentleman at the door signal is to use the iPad to waitlist ourselves no Hello, Welcome or anything. Once we were seated they rushed to get our order and once we got the food is when we started enjoyed ourselves. The food is amazing it was fresh and very flavorful!

I've been going to BCD Tofu House for years. This location consistently stand out for services! The hostess, server and staff were all really attentive and welcoming. We ordered beef tofu soup and seafood pancake! Both were delicious! Whenever I ask for more side dishes they seem not to mind for refill. Unlike some other restaurants. The only downside is parking at the plaza on the weekend is a nightmare. read more

Came back here after a long time, Galbi was tender and chewy, but a bit too sweet for me, less sauce is better. The soup was good. The seafood pancake was a bit too overcooked but crispy. Got a refill on the side dishes. Service was great and pretty crowded during early dinner around 5:30 ish. Overall, okaish . read more

BCD Tofu House - Galbi - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

There's lots of plaza parking although with all the businesses here it can get hectic. There's also a few 30 minute parking to watch out for. There's lots of seating inside but it can get quite busy. There's also a waitlist tablet to check in. It's casual inside and the noise level is decent. They can handle a large group. The service was great and they were helpful. The food arrived quickly and at a good pace. The bulgogi was delicious and not too sweet. The mild beed soup is plentiful and isn't too spicy, definitely manageable for those who want some kick. Rice is nice amd you get crispy pieces at the bottom of the bowl. The cucumber side is good if you don't like cucumbers. It has more of a sesame. read more

I was craving Korean food, so we decided to stop by BCD. It was pretty busy when we arrived, but thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table. They had tables for big parties and a few for small parties. There is also outdoor seating but since it was raining, we wanted to sit inside. The ladies seated us right away and brought out the banchan along with tea. We ordered the galbi combo for $26.99 (lunch price) and the spicy pork combo for $24.99. The galbi came out quickly and was juicy, perfectly marinated, and tender. There were a few slightly burnt pieces, but it wasn't a big issue. Paired with the spicy tofu soup, it really hit the spot and completely satisfied my craving. The friendly ahjummas also refilled the side dishes without us even having to ask. Overall, the service was great this time! read more

BCD Tofu House - Galbi (BBQ Short Rib) / 갈비 烤牛排骨 - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

BCD is easily one of my favorite spots for tofu soup. There's usually a wait, but it's worth it in my opinion! I always get the assorted tofu soup; it's consistently tasty and comes piping hot. Last time I also ordered the galbi and it was really good too! Also I LOVE their kimchi. Seriously it's so good, probably my favorite kimchi from any Korean restaurant. Portion sizes are generous and I'm always so happily stuffed after. Food is served in hot stone bowls, including the rice. So good. read more

Honestly feel like you can never go wrong with BCD. Their portion sizes are decent and their flavors are consistent. Normally I would go to the one in Ktown but the Rowland one is just as good. I ordered the Galbi combo which came with your choice of soup and I chose the seafood tofu soup. All meals come with their banchan (side dishes). My family also wanted to order some appetizers so we ordered the fried tofu and the seafood pancake. I thought the fried tofu was just ok; I've definitely had better before. I feel like you can never go wrong with ordering the seafood pancake. It's loaded with octopus and was flavorful. Would highly recommend! Service was excellent. We were seated quickly upon arrival and we received our orders quickly. There is a decent amount of seating in the restaurant but it gets packed during peak hours so I would recommend coming a little before peak dining hours. There is plenty of parking in the Yes plaza shared with other businesses. read more

BCD Tofu House is a popular chain Korean restaurant with multiple locations. My husband took me here for a dinner date. I love the wide variety of tofu stews that they offer on the menu. I had the mild beef soon tofu soup and my husband had the plain dumpling soon tofu soup. Each soon tofu soup comes with a portion of stone pot rice. Both the tofu soups here tasted rich, savory, and full of flavor. The amount of ingredients inside the soups was very generous as well. As for the seafood pancake, this was the perfect dish to share (cut into eight slices). It had an amazing crispy texture and the batter to seafood ratio was perfect. Although a bit oily, it was very delicious. In addition, the banchan offering was pretty great. We were given yellow croakers, cucumber, fish cakes, and kimchi. I think they rotate the banchan selection every now and then. It is great that this restaurant is open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, making it the ideal place to go for a late dinner. Plenty of parking spaces are available in this busy plaza. read more

Even though BCD Tofu House is a well-known chain, I've noticed the banchan (side dishes) can vary slightly depending on the location--and yes, it does make a difference to me especially the fried fish! :) I've visited a few different locations, and the Rowland Heights location continues to be my favorite. The sides seem to had changed. no beans sprouts and potatoes salad as the option this time but so happy for the fish. I did notice two new options -- Korean Tripe and Spicy Raw crab! Another change is egg, needs to be requested not like before automatically added to the order. I only have tried the BCD seafood soup -- always opted for the seafood--flavorful, bubbling hot, and customizable to your spice level -- aim for the spicy but this round burned my tongue. read more

First time visiting the Rowland heights location! Food is consistent, restaurant is significantly smaller, much louder, but they operate with love. Don't take their shortness as being rude, they're just busy, and trying to turn and burn up to 16 tables at a time. They have a manager who helps to maintain the waitlist, as we had a large party, he helped push two tables together to accommodate. The ambiance is chaotic, fair warning lol The kitchen and sinks are exposed so you can see and hear them slamming dishes and utensils. They also have barely any room to move their carts they transport the hot stone rice. If you find yourself in the corner waiting for the restroom, you will absolutely be in the way. Pro tip- don't get up from your table until you see that the bathroom is open lol This location also has you scoop your own rice from the stone pots, the Irvine location has the waitresses do it for you. The ajoonmas at both locations are sweet, and if you flag them down they'll be right over. Last note- the parking lot is WILD. So hectic, so crammed, the spots aren't clearly marked so it's kind of like when you park at a state fair and it's just a big empty lot where cars start to park in pattern When you have a bcd craving, I don't think much will stand in the way! Solid spot to get your tofu fix! read more

Got the Bulgogi Combo ($30.99) via UberEats. The container contained a decent amount of bulgogi and plenty of onions on the bottom. Wish the meat was more flavorful since it tasted a bit bland. This was 7/10 The beef tofu soup was just ok. I've gotten it mild spicy and it was too spicy for me so I got it non spicy. The tofu doesn't taste as good as it used to. I'm not sure if they make it in-house like how they used to because it doesn't taste as soft or fresh. The soup was very salty and greasy. This was 6/10 The banchans consisted of beancurd, kimchi, bean sprouts, eggplant, and fried crocker. The banchans didn't taste as fresh as it used to I doubt they make it themselves anymore. I was disappointed that they gave me eggplant instead of the usual mashed potatoes. The banchans didn't seem like anything special to me unfortunately. This used to be my favorite Korean tofu spots but I don't think it is anymore. read more

Amazing food and service as always. The waiter ladies were always refilling our sides when we called them over! The waiter ladies wasn't too bad on a Saturday night around 9-10PM! It was maybe a 10-15min wait since we did run into the dinner rush. The seafood pancake is so yummy! read more

Located in Yes Plaza, a very popular plaza with many popular shops. Parking here can be really tight and packed, despite that, there's plenty of spots to go around. Similar to the BCD in KTOWN, there's a yelp waitlist that can be accessed in person only. My wait time with my wife was about 20 minutes on a Friday evening despite the waitlist saying about 30-40 minutes. BCD has one of my favorite banchan sets, and always comes with fried fish with tofu soup. The standout banchan is definitely the fish cake, the staff always refill banchan unlimited times but this time around, my wife and I didn't need to as our orders were very fulfilling. The tofu soup is always super delicious here, all big portions with egg addon and a bowl of rice as well. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any tofu soup, all just down to preference of food. We we're feeling a bit more hungry this time around so we ordered the seafood pancake to share. Portions are massive for this pancake, easily shareable between plenty. It was perfectly cooked and it's crunchiness compliments the other dishes really well. Super savory and yummy. Only downside to this branch is that the space is not ideal to a "spacious" type restaurant. There were a lot of times where staff would pass by with carts for either orders or cleaning tables and it would almost hit not only my wife and I, but other customers as well. Other than that, food is delicious and well made, staff is fast and friendly, affordable. BCD is comfort food at it's very best. read more

So much food! I ordered the bulgolgi set and I could have easily shared with 1-2 other people. The tofu soup was a standout - it was thick and rich. I would definitely recommend adding the egg to the soup ASAP to get the best texture! The bulgogi was good, but nothing special. Staff will give unlimited little side dishes, though the dishes did seem to rotate. It was usually a surprise what they'd bring! There is plenty of parking, but there can be a long wait. This is a very busy restaurant! read more

I ordered the pork bulgogi combo. It came with the meat, rice, and your choice of soup. I chose the dumpling soup and a medium spice level. They also bring out a bunch of sides. There was a lot of food. The broth of the soup was great and the rice was fresh. The only issue is this area is usually is packed and we did wait a while on a Saturday night. read more

BCD is one of my favorite tofu soup places. Came here to eat with family after getting back from a trip and it was so satisfying! Service was great as always. Very attentive. I always get the tofu soup when I go. My family likes to get the combos since it feeds more. The only thing that kinda put me off was the dish cart the staff pushes around to clean tables. I think the spaces between tables is too narrow and when the cart gets pushed in between, it's a bit too close for my liking. I just think about all the gunk that's in those containers being so close to my food. Other than that, everything is great! I always come here and enjoy eating their food. read more

Rainy days call for comfort food, and BCD really hit the spot. I've been coming here for years, and today's seafood tofu soup was exactly what I needed.

I often frequent this place. Love it. Never had an issue with food or service. I love to come here on cold days and enjoy a nice tofu soup.

EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS PERFECT. Food is great! The servers are attentive! My family & I love going even if it's an hour & a half drive

Amazing service despite how busy it is!!! The servers checked on us 8-9 times throughout our meal which was unlike most Korean restaurants. Truly appreciated their hussle. Their spicy pork combo was really delicious (not too spicy more like 3/5 spiciness) and the portion was gigantic. We ordered the kids meal which was actually ALOT of food. For $10 you get enough to feed 2 little kids. We even had leftovers. We came at peak lunch on a Sunday and they were able to clear tables really quickly. read more

Amazing food as always!!!! Everything is super spicy, so be prepared for that....... Great hospitality ...... very old-school Korean service, fast and reliable.... They serve their food in these authentic Korean bowls.... BCD is super clean and cute and cozy... read more

My friend group and I love BCD. 4 stars for our most recent visit as their banchan options seemed more limited than normal - no radish. But their service was good in refilling our waters and the banchan. Their tofu soup is consistent and the medium spice is perfect. The stone pot rice was also a great part of the meal. read more

8/10 Got the galbi combo with a spicy clam tofu soup. Galbi meat quality was amazing today and the tofu soup was burnin in a good way.

Oh, BCD! I had been craving BCD for a few weeks, so we decided to go to this location because it was closer. They're in a plaza, but parking is not an issue. We went on a Saturday night. I would say it was around 7p but surprisingly, there was no wait. We were seated right away. They sat us up in the front by the kitchen. Our server took a long time to stop by and take our order even though we were sitting right there! We had to call her over to take our order. The sides were not that great. The kimchi was bland. We didn't even eat any of it other than when we tried it when they first brought it out. We always get constant kimchi refills at the KTown location or other restaurants. We were disappointed it wasn't like that here. I got my usual veggie tofu soup, and it was just okay. It did not taste the same as the K.Town one which sucks. It was bland, all I can taste was the spice and water. My bf ordered the original with beef and it was ehh. Meat was on the chewier side. His was also watered down. I will probably not be coming back here. The K.Town location is very consistent in food quality, taste, and amazing service. read more

BCD is always a hit or miss. This time, it was a miss. The tofu soup was so bland! Very disappointing.

Came here on a Saturday around 2:30 PM and there was a bit of a wait, around 20-30 minutes. Once we got inside, the vibes were casual and relaxed. The banchan was delicious and offered a nice variety--including a small fried fish. Here's what we ordered: Seafood Pancake: Crispy, slightly oily, and generously filled with seafood. Personally my favorite dish. Beef Tofu Soup and Bulgogi Combo: The tofu soup was comforting and well-seasoned. I just wish there was more meat. But the classic sweet, flavorful, and tender bulgogi made up for it. Spicy Raw Crab: Fresh, nicely seasoned, not too spicy I'm deducting one star because only white rice was available--would've liked an option of purple or brown rice. read more

Unfortunately I think we got the short end of the stick when coming here. I went to another branch last time and had a much better experience. Wait for food was total around 30 mins~ everything took so long to come out that we had our banchans refilled 3 times. It was around 10-15 minutes in between each of our 3 things to come out. We got the bulgogi + seafood tofu soup combo and the seafood pancake. Seafood pancake and bulgogi were great, but the tofu soup tasted like water and was flavorless. I was so disappointed because I was looking forward to eating some yummy tofu soup too. I would've sent it back but they took so long to push it out we didn't want to wait for a remake The low rating is due to the combination of wait times for the food + the flavorless tofu soup. Might have to try another branch next time. read more

BCD Tofu House - Spicy Raw Crab Combo - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I love BCD tofu house but this location serves us raw meat and the seafood pancakes doesn't look anything like the menu picture. I came here on Sunday ( 6/28/26) with my mom and older brother to celebrate his birthday, they haven't had tofu soup in ages so I thought I take them here. What a big mistake, a couple of the chicken Teriyaki and galbi beef were raw, I even showed the waitress and she walked away, I thought she went to get the manager but she didn't. It was so disappointing. The side dishes, especially the kimchi wasn't pickled enough that the Napa cabbage was still crunchy, I can taste the juices from the Napa cabbage, we didn't like it. The fry fish wasn't fresh either, it was cold. We ordered the 1 galbi beef combo with assorted tofu soup, 1 teriyaki chicken with seafood tofu soup, 1 dumplings soup and the seafood pancakes. I'm sorry but the seafood pancakes doesn't look anything like the menu picture. The menu picture looks like it has a lot of seafood on it especially the octopus but ours barely had like 4 tiny pieces and a couple of shrimp, is mostly green onions. Some of the chicken pieces were raw, thank good we didn't get sick. And some of the galbi beef were raw too. For a thin slice of meat, how can they not cook it properly ? I have eaten at many different BCD tofu house in KTown,( Western Blvd), Artesia, Buena Park, and Garden Grove, this never happened before, serving raw meat. Only one time, at the Buena Park location, they ran out of the fry fish in the late afternoon that they gave me a package of roasted seaweed snacks, I thought that was weird and I never went back there again until they brought back the fry fish. All the waitresses were nice and friendly people. Also I noticed that they didn't scoop out the rice for us, we had to do it ourselves, if we not careful, we could get burnt by the hot stone pot, that could lead to a lawsuit, this is just for the owners to be aware of that. We paid $120 including tips for raw food, that's unacceptable!! Don't come to this location unless you like to get sick. I don't recommend coming here. read more

Omg better than what I have in San Gabriel. BCD Rowland height is just as good as the one in k-town. The LA galbi is perfectly flavored and tender. The seafood tofu soup was super umami. The seafood pancake was good with flavor but wished it was a little more crispy. The parking can be challenging on the weekends and at night but it's avoidable on a weekday lunch. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of space that you didn't feel like you are jam packed in. read more
