    Soon tofu soup
    Kateri

    Came in on a Thursday night, wasn't too busy. All soups comes with rice and some small side dishes. We got combination and seafood soon tofu. Would recommend getting regular for those are okay with spic. Portions were pretty good. They don't have a lot on their menu because they are mainly known for their soups. Prefect for a rainy or colder day.

    Pork Bone Soup
    Kelvin L.

    Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu is a great place to get that cozy warm soup to fill the stomach. The servings are big and there have the classic Korean stone bowl experience. You get a bowl of purple rice and they fill the bowl with water to extract the last bits in a porridge to wash down the last of the main course. In the traditional style, you are served the appetizer/side dishes first, a combination of sprouts, pickled toppings, kimchi (sweet version), etc. Then the mains and rice follows about 5 - 10 mins later. The appetizer/side dishes can be reordered for free, just be respectful. For those with food allergies and restrictions, they were very clear on their online menu of the ingredients in each of their items, like beef, shrimp, mussel, etc. I ordered their Pork Bone Soup and it was great, lots of meat on the bones still, no small shards of bone in the soup and it was the right level of spicy/hot. Service was quick and attentive, seated and ordered in 5 min, with the side dishes out right after ordering and 5 - 10 min for the food. The restaurant has 2, 4, and bench seating on one wall. It looks like it can fit 30 or so patrons.

    Delicious super hot food that comes out quickly. Only 3 side dishes but the kimchi is really good!! I tried the dumpling and beef soup and it was great.

    Friendly quick service. Lots of seating available. Pleasantly surprised to have purple rice with our kimchi tofu soup (beef & pork). Dish was good and as expected for a Korean tofu soup.

    Spicy squid with rice
    Maleewan K.

    I ordered Soon Tofu with zucchini, beef and mussels. The soup was very flavorful, and absolutely delicious. Rice in clay pot goes well with the soup. The set came with a small tray of three types of ban chan consisting of kimchi, bean sprouts, and sweet beans. Pork Tonkatsu was crispy and tasted average. The service was great and very efficient. For the rice clay pot, the staff would fill warm water to it after scooping out majority of rice to a bowl, so you can enjoy scorched rice with water at the end (it is better than the way it looks!). My husband enjoyed his spicy squid with rice. Very relaxed atmosphere. Would be great for either small or big party.

    #4 Dumpling Soon Tofu Soup

    You can choose the level of spiciness of the soon tofu soup, which is great. But unfortunately the broth is a little watery. The one at the Tofu Village restaurant next door was way more creamy and tasteful but they unfortunately retired. The dim sums were meaty and good. Service was a little slow. A little bit cold and noisy in there.

    Vegetarian Bipbambap with pork added on top.

    When my friends heard I wanted Homestyle comfort food, they recommended this place, immediately. Not far by using TCC, we quickly found this unassuming but charming place. The service was quick and they give you free banchan refills. Hubby's bipbambop was good but he felt the egg was mass cooked and cut to adorn the top of his dish. My tofu soondubu came in various heat: none, mild, medium, and extra spicy. While I chose mild, it still has a lot of heat. For both our entrees, the flavors truly married together in the best way possible. Not one ingredient overwhelmed the other. At the end of my dish, they filled it up and I was able to scrape off the residual crisps from the rice and enjoy it further with additional banchans.

    3 stars for me. It's been a while since I've been here. We managed to walk in and get a seat quite quickly. Decided to try the pork bone soup. The proportions for pork bone are well worth the money; however, I think this needs to be tweaked. Was not very flavourful-- overpowered with gochugaru and not a balance with gochujang. Meat felt slightly cold when it was given to me. Rice could be slightly less moist. Side dishes were good. For $17, not a bad place but would go back for tofu soup perhaps to give this place another try. FYI no more 10% off if you pay with cash -- only applies to takeout only.

    Simple menu and excellent food. Finding a parking nearby can be a bit tricky, we turned around a few times before we found a spot. The food came pretty fast. We enjoyed the seafood tofu stew a lot. Extra spicy is not too spicy. The Korean BBQ Beef was very tasty. Their small dishes are not as impressive. Usually I'm pretty excited about the small dishes in a Korean restaurant, but I barely touched my this time.

    BCDST is the best restaurant in Toronto for Korean tofu stew in my opinion and I've went to many restaurants. My favourite is the combination soon tofu (#1) and my not so favourites are the kimchi stew and the soybean tofu stew as I feel the other options are more flavourful. Still, the quality of this restaurant always holds up and you will get a very delicious hot pot of soup that hits the soul. I also love their purple rice but would loved it if I just ate the rice directly from the pot instead of having it separate. Will definitely return again.

    Probably one of the better place to have soon tofu as it is pretty fresh and soft. Came here Sunday before they were even open. I've been here in the past during the pandemic when they had that table with a thermometer. The A/C was bumping and it was nice and cool like an ice cold fridge for me (nice). I didn't get a menu or a picture of the food as I was not prepared, but go look the many pictures other users have posted. Ordered the beef, Zucchini and replaced the mussels as I wasn't too fond of them. So I got extra beef instead. My gripe was the beef was very stringy and it was okay, not the best I had. Will come back and try the other menu including the pork bone soup.

    Hot Stone Pot Bibimbap.
    Brandon C.

    Located in Koreatown in Toronto, BCDST is well known for their Soon Tofu Stew's. Ordered was the Kimchi Soon Tofu and a Hot Stone Pot Bibimbap. The Soon Tofu is served in a hot stone pot stuff with soft tofu, kimchi and bubbling with rich spicy soup. Along side is a freshly scooped bowl of purple rice. The pot is left behind and filled with water by the server, where the remnants of rich are dislodged in a starchy broth, to be enjoyed later after the consuming the stew. The bibimbap is served in a hot stone pot and arrives at the table sizzling with generous serving of rice topped with with ground beef, sautéed squash, par boiled bean sprouts, spinach and carrot slivers and a fried egg. Yes, the egg was part of a community of like eggs that was sliced away from its brethren. Let the rice settle into heat to crisp up for a few minutes and start mixing away, adding the side of gochujang between stirs to flavor the bland dish. The soup is added at the end after all is gone to soften the crispy rice stuck on the bottom, giving you a brothy mix of softened crispy rice and soup. Service was good. The restaurant itself is not fancy. Natural wood floors with a slight tilt and tables are the decor with a station setup in near the entry way for staff to accommodate their take-out customers. BCDST is all about Korean comfort food. This was exactly what wifey and I needed after a long day of navigating the top tourist attractions of Toronto.

    Seafood Soon Tofu
    Victoria P.

    This place is one of my comfort restaurants. Their soft tofu stew always fills an empty part of my soul that I didn't know I was missing. I love the purple rice, all the small side dishes and their soup. Prices are fair for the amount of food you're getting. Just your typical Korean establishment with the best soup in tow.

My friend is not usually a shrimp fan but she polished it off for me. The fatty tuna nigiri was great, as expected, and the crispy rice tuna was phenomenal. The Jidori chicken was delightful. We loved the sauce, and the mashed potatoes were pillowy. I did not have the sangria but my friend said it was the best she had ever had. The yuzu citrus dessert came with strawberry gelato and cookie crumbs. The gelato was not overly sweet and the yuzu was perfectly tart.

The staff helped us through the menu and gave us recommendations, and was so kind and fun to chat with! I had gotten the chicken katsu and my friend the beef tartar bibimbap. Both came with amazing portions and we had food to spare. The katsu was perfectly crispy, and the house made sauce was perfectly seasoned and amazing! It also came with apples and salad on the side which was a perfect pallet cleanser. The bibimbap had a great variety of toppings and everything was seasoned well. When thoroughly mixed, everything bite had a bit of everything and it was delicious. On top of the food u get when you order, the meal also comes with 6 different sides.

Hence we entered Jin Dai Lae. Good decision (yes, I am patting my back). Entree pricing was $3 to $4 lower than Markham/Richmond Hill. Portion was so big that you would be full, and might have to doggy bag. Most importantly, food tasted good. Short ribs stew had many pieces of beef. Squids hot plate was saucy. It wasn't too spicy, so it was good for me (menu didn't have a chilli sign either). For people who like it hot, you can ask for some chilli sauce.
