If you like Korean food, here's a neat spot to get your fix in Richmond Hill. This restaurants used to be a BCD dine-in location but still serves the famous Korean soon tofu soup. The location isn't very well known as you have to make a bend at this grocery plaza. However it's much better than the tofu soup that's at the nearby food court. Silky tofu soup comes with a raw egg inside that cooks in the boiling hot soup. Heat levels can be chosen to fit your appetite. It's a standard meal but feels just right. We also had the dolsot bibimbap as well in the hot stone bowl. The taste was bang on, we enjoyed the crispy rice bottom provided by the hot stone. Four banchan side dishes were provided with our meal including kimchi, mung beans & soybeans while no refills were offered. The only difference here is they do not provide a pitcher to pour water for the stone rice bowl after the main meal. Skip it or hit it? We'll hit it up again despite the menu being on the pricier side. Good Korean food is worth it especially in the cold of winter! read more

**3.5** This place is known for their soon tofu soup. I ordered the pork bone soup, soybean soon tofu & combination soon tofu. It was good but found it too salty. Same with the pork bone soup - tasted great at first & then became very salty! I do like that they serve purple rice in the stone bowl. I also got the seafood pancake & it was so big and filled with lots of seafood. The side dishes were just okay. Place is a little run down and service was alright. Nothing special to note about read more

I remember coming here years ago .. and my feedback was just ok. Several years later.. I called to call if there was a table for 2 if I was coming in 10'minutes after. The staff said yes but not guaranteed, which was fine as it was a Friday night and everywhere was busy. I arrived 10 mins later and the owner greeted me ... and told me she is setting up our table! She was so nice! The restaurant was full with people! Busy busy! I was very appreciative of her. The food was amazing , and loved that their rice was in a pot and had the hard cooked rice at the bottom which was the best part. The ribs was good and also the seafood tofu soup was amazing. Super satisfied that night! It included 5 side dishes . Will definitely return! read more

Been here twice now, once during lunch and another time for dinner. The first time I came, the service was quite slow and had to wait for a bit (but I'm comparing this to other sundubu places I've been to before). I always get the kimchi soft tofu extra spicy. The first time it was decent, the flavour was there. The second time was better (food came out quicker too despite being a larger group). I would say it comes down to the kimchi, I think the kimchi was better and gave a more in depth flavour. We also ordered the seafood pancake and it was really good. My aunt enjoyed it, it was crispy outside and had lots of fillings. The restaurant is a bit out of the way for me and I wouldn't really drive all the way here to eat but would definitely come here if I'm around the area. read more

Once we were seated in a booth we saw that the menu was on the wall. For two people we ordered fried dumplings and combination soon tofu stew. The stew included (beef, shrimp, mussel) and hot stone rice. When we were asked the spice level of the soon tofu we said mild and the lady told us that even older Koreans have medium so we should be fine with that as well. The fried dumplings were very crispy and didn't require much dipping in the sauce. For the soon tofu it comes with an egg that you crack and put in right away. The lady put it in for us. I love how the rice gets crispy in the hot stone bowl and you get 'rice banana'. I was really hoping that the stew wouldn't be too spicy for us. I'm pretty a spice wimp and it turns out we had nothing to worry about. There's a 5% discount when paying with cash and by the counter there's a shelf on the side with a few things for sale (socks and slippers). read more

We frequently come here for soft tofu stew. Here's what I like about it, it has several choices of toppings: with seafood, with dumplings etc. In addition, you can customize level of spice. Another one of our favorites is the pork bone soup. However, there was one time we ordered this at lunch where the broth was not as deeply flavorful. It makes me wonder if that was just a one time inconsistency or the dish has an underlying broth that requires long time to cook Rice is freshly cooked in individual stone pot (for dine in only), which is more special and you can get the crispy rice at the bottom or put some tea in to make a rice soup at the end. read more

5 stars for bulgogi soup! For anyone who likes sweet things, I would highly recommend this. It is flavourful and good to the last drop. Also comes with quite a bit of beef and glass noodles so it's really filling! I really can't get enough. If you don't prefer sweet foods, then their soon tofu is also really good. They have quite a bit of variety to their soon tofu soups depending on what you like. All of them has good flavour and really soft tofu. My one complaint is that while the seafood does add flavour to the soup base, the seafood itself does not taste fresh. I personally would not order it and prefer the dumpling or kimchi soon tofus. Oddly though, I enjoy the seafood pancake and do not have any problems with the seafood meat even though I'm pretty sure it should be the same. They start you off with 4 side dishes which are pretty standard for Korean restaurants: kimchi, radishes, sweet beans, and bean sprouts. When dine in was still open, they would refill the dishes if you ask. The soups also come with rice in a hot pot, and they will scoop it out for you since it is really hot. The servers will then add some liquid to the pot so you can eat the rice that was stuck on the pot as well. You can ask them to not put in the water so you can eat the crispy rice at the bottom just like Chinese claypot rice! Tastes great added with the soup. Definitely one of my favourite places for Korean soup around this area! read more

This is my favorite tofu place! it used to be a chain tofu restaurant, that's how I knew about this place, but my husband and I believe they just want to keep doing it without using their names, so it becomes Kim's tofu. I don't know how many times I have been here, their seafood pancake and soon tofu are must order items. They serve Korean corn tea (my favorite). Their panchans also taste really good, my husband love their sweet beans the most. read more

Their tofu is one of the softest and silkiest I have had. The soup flavour is also really good. I ordered their mild and could probably have went with medium. I like spicy but can't handle too spicy. I ordered the dumpling soon tofu soup, I wished they had more vegetables in the soup though. It was just broth, tofu, few small pieces of beef and two dumplings. The kimchi fried rice was good and had lots of ingredients in it. It wasn't the best we have had. The restaurant is really big and spacious. Service could have been a bit better, I wanted a tea refill but wasn't able to find an available waitress throughout our whole meal. read more

Kim’s Tofu - Kimchi fried rich, dumpling soon tofu, side dishes - Korean Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

We were craving for Korean food and heard great reviews about this place. Since we were in the area, we decided to this place. When you first enter, it looks spacious because of the large mirrors. However, it is a small place. It's nicely lit, and because it's in an alley, it's quiet. The service was good - the girl was attentive and kept checking in on us to make sure everything was OK. Food is great - ordered kimchi soon tofu, pork bone soup, and fried dumplings. The soon tofu was ordered at regular spice. For someone who has a high tolerance for spice, you will need to up the spice level. For the pork bone soup, the least amount of spice they can do is mild spice. There's no potatoes, but they give you a lot of bone, and it has quite a lot of meat on them. The fried dumplings are filled with beef, and it's flavorful enough that we did not need the dipping sauce. Overall, I would recommend this place and would come back when another Korean craving hits (which is quite often). read more

Soul food at one of the OG Korean spots uptown. Their soup is deep, rich and full of flavor and the mussels in the mixed tofu stew aren't the tiny ones either. The only critique is that their banchan is kinda lacking in variety and flavor but overall solid soup! Would recommend if in the Richmond Hill/Thornhill area and craving this read more

Good food with ample parking in the parking lot and typically not busy until the point that you can't find a table.

Seafood pancake is awesome!!! Good portion of ingredients and not too much batter. A+ Soup and bulgogi...B+ Side dish...only one refill?! They wanted to charge me for additional refills after that. My party of 9 was given 2 sets to begin with. Had we taken 4 separate tables, would they give us 4 sets anyways? Bathroom was dark and smelly...F read more

We have a lot of Korean food to choose from but Kim's Tofu has definitely been a fav the past year. I don't think you can go wrong with anything from their menu. Pork over rice, kimchi soon tofu... everything is delicious! I plan to try the hot stone bibimbap some time as well. Yum!! Great value and great tasting - give them a try today! :) read more

Summer? Perfect time for some hot tofu soup. Visited on a Friday night around 7:30 pm, and it was almost full. Ordered the kimchi tofu soup ( kimchi, beef, pork) with mild and it came promptly along with the side dishes. Food wise its average, as the toppings are somewhat small. The tofu is good but wish that was more the highlight as opposed to the rice and soup. But value wise this place is great, at 8.85! Have returned multiple times already and each time has been positive. Good option in the rhill area! read more

Situated in a little "hallway area" of this large strip mall just south of 16 on Bayview with a Chinese supermarket. FREE PARKING! Unlikely the chaos you have at their other location at Yonge and Finch. We ordered the Combination Soon Tofu (one spicy-it was spicy and one mild-it was mild...funny comment but in many places this means nothing. The fried dumpling was really good and not overly oily. I enjoyed the stir fried pork but I would have really wanted a hot stone bibimbap; However it only came in beef which I (and many people don't eat). They should consider allowing customers, at the very least substitute the beef with pork. Service was polite and relatively quick. The servers were running around since they were very busy but they were always polite. So glad we have a good Korean option in Richmond Hill. read more

Been here a handful of times already, mainly because of it's convenience to where I am. It seems rare to find decent soon tofu places around the Richmond Hill/Markham unless you head down to the Yonge/Finch area or even Koreatown. Firstly, this place is pretty spacious. Lots of seats mostly suited for groups of 4, with booths lined across the sides with some tables in the middle. I've only had trouble getting seats a few times but it's usually walk-in and gets seated. The menu has a bunch of selection of different soon tofu options (combination, kimchi etc.) as well as some of the usual Korean options like bibimbap and pork bone soup. They have slowly raised prices over time so it doesn't feel as much of a value pick as it once did when it was ~$9. Onto the side dishes, they give larger portions than most of the other Korean places around. Nothing special in taste, not that you should expect anything mindblowing with side dishes anyway. Soup is solid. I usually get the Mild spice level and it's plenty spicy for my palate. There's a bunch of tofu and whichever variant you choose with it, most of the time I opt for the kimchi flavor which also comes with some beef in the soup as well. It's good and tasty. Overall, I always find myself returning to this place because you know exactly what to expect every time. A no-frills, filling and still value meal. read more

I'm a huge lover for Soon Tofu, and I've been to their chain in North York and DT couple time before and they never disappointed me. This location is the closest to my house so I decided to give it a try. Oops, a bad decision made. There's literally no taste to my soon tofu. I ordered mild because i was a bit sick and didn't want to eat too spicy, but mild doesn't mean no salt, no flavor no anything. You can see from the picture that the tofu are not several big pieces but all broke down to really small crumbs. This is the first time I've had soon tofu like this, and also the first time I left a restaurant almost didn't eat anything I ordered. The service was extremely slow too. Our table and the table next to us had to take the menu and teas ourselves. I think you have to be better than this to bear the name, because I really enjoyed the food from the other two locations. read more

Of all my years living in Richmond hill did I know that this little Korean restaurant existed within my neighbourhood. It's a great place to come to if you're craving Korean food close by. The environment is a small yet spacious restaurant that can fit small groups of 4-6. The food portions are decent and well made. I ordered the bimbimbap and boy was it good! Very decently priced and bang for your buck if you wanna be full. When I came it wasn't that packed so you're bound to get quick service! read more

The restaurant is hidden in the shops area with plenty of parking in front (same plaza as the supermarket). I ordered the combination tofu and it comes with lots of tofu, topped with one mussel, one shrimp and some beef. You can choose the spice level. I like how they serve you purple rice that is cooked in a hot stone pot. The broth has a mellow flavour due to the tofu. Friendly staff that offered great service read more

You guys never disappoint! Buk Chang Dong is so so so amazing!! They are super consistent with the quality of their food, cleanliness and service. Although, I am not a super big fan of tofu, there are so many other choices of AUTHENTIC Korean food that I enjoy equally as much. One of my go-to's is the bulgogi soup that includes beef and vermicelli. The flavour is quite unique - one that is not made at many other restaurants. It comes with purple rice and is a super great alternative if you don't enjoy eating tofu! If you do like tofu however, one of the more popular dishes is the Kimchi Soon Tofu. You have a choice between different spice levels ranging from mild to extra spicy. If you enjoy spicy foods, I encourage you to try the extra spicy - it isn't that bad. All the soon tofus come with an egg and purple rice. All dishes with purple rice come with a hot stone that you can add water to to make a "congee" ish soup. It's super refreshing at the end of your meal if you have room for it! Not to mention, the side dishes here are so great! My favourite is the raddish, however recently they have switched it to cucumbers which is just as great. Be sure to try all of them although they may not look too good, I was surprised by how great the beans were - they have a sweet taste! Overall, super great experience every time I come here because of the super awesome KPOP song choices and the kindest staff! read more

Kim’s Tofu - bulgogi soup ! - Korean Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu has always been my to go place for Soon Tofu. I had been to both their Downtown and North York Locations. I would say Buk Chang has the most silky and soft tofu soup I have in Toronto area. There is just something so special about their tofu and this is probably the only item you should order. But if you want something more filling, there is also pork bone soup and other options. This Buk Chang location is so hidden and you won't even notice it if you just drive by. This maybe the reason I did not even know that it had been opened for months. Menu is really simple and similar to other locations. The best thing is the restaurant is spacious and service is nice and friendly. Our waiter checked on us and asked if we want some banchan refilled! I do like the option of choice of spiciness by level, so you can really custom order what you want. Highly recommended if you want something homey and comforting! read more

Came here with two other friends an hour before closing. As per usual, I chose the Pork Bone Soup. It was good and it came with a stone pot of rice. There was plenty of meat and the soup itself was similar in quality to other places (but pricier). It comes with a stone pot of purple rice and they would scoop the rice out for you and then leave the pot on the side for you to finish later. The appetizer selection was limited and not as great as other places. Servers are very friendly but not as prompt- there were about 1-2 other tables and the staff were preparing to close. My friends enjoyed their Soon Tofu which is what the restaurant is known for. Overall, the experience was decent but I would not go out of my way to come here. read more

A very nice family-owned restaurant with the best soon tofu! I normally get a combination soon tofu. Their take out is nicely wrapped in paper-based products so no styrofoam and even by the time I get home 20 mins later the soup is still hot. If you dine-in, the rice comes in a stone pot and they'll scoop it out for you and you can choose whether or not they put water in your stone pot to make this congee stew or if you want it to keep toasting in the hot pot so you get crisps at the end of the meal. Meals also come with side dishes like kimchi, pickled radish, sweet soy beans, etc. I would also recommend their soy chicken which is a delicious Korean-style fried chicken that's crispy and sweet. read more

Kim’s Tofu - Menu as of Nov 2020 - Korean Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

New franchise of the BCD korean chain. Much more comfortable (more spacious, nicer seats, cute stuffed animals in the booth areas) and easier parking than the one on Yonge Street. The menu is a little larger (4 more items, including one additional veggie based soondubu). The taste is also slightly different - the flavors are a little more dense and packed than the one on Yonge, but still good. Great people who will welcome you here too, but we went late and it was hard to flag down someone to help us after we ordered. read more

I was craving for Korean soon tofu and a quick search on yelp took me to Buk Chang Dong. I ordered the beef and mussels tofu, it is served with purple rice and some appies. The meal itself took a while to come despite there were only two other patrons in the restaurant other than me. When it finally arrived and I eagerly dug my spoon into the soup, I was very disappointed at the lack of ingredients other than tofu. There was literally only 2 small pieces of beef and some dried up mussels. Totally not what I expected. I didn't try anything else on the menu but I sure will not be back for the soon tofu here. read more

The service is still as friendly and welcoming!! I'm so glad they are fully open now!!!! Highly recommend if you like mom and pop eateries. read more

Kim’s Tofu - Korean Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Pleased with my lunch experience, I brought my family here for dinner. So I've had the opportunity to taste the following, all served with purple rice: 1. Pork Bone Soup Asked them to make it more spicy and it hit the spot. Delicious broth, large pieces of meat. 2. Seafood Pancake Crispy and not overly greasy. Reasonable amounts of squid. Was still tasty even after it cooled. 3. Kimchi Soon Tofu (asked for Mild) A Korean friend said this was her fav. My teenager (who is usually not very adventurous with food) ordered this and to my surprise, finished the whole thing. I managed to steal a bite and found it quite tasty. 4. Dumpling Soon Tofu (asked for Plain) Other son doesn't eat much spicy food so he enjoyed this non-spicy dish. 5. Stir-fried pork on sizzling hot plate Waiter said this was one of the restaurant's signature dishes. Pretty good but in typical hot plate style, they used a lot of oil. 6. Purple Rice was lovely. The waiter scooped it out of the stone bowl then  asked if we wanted to add water in the stone bowl. Seems it is the practice since you could scrape the rice off the bowl and mixed with the water, it became a sort of congee. (If you decline the water and wait to scrape the leftover rice near the end of your meal, it would be quite impossible to remove most of the rice.) * Good customer service. * No issues with parking both day and evening time. * Many booths, tables were not too close to one another = pleasant ambience. Deducting 1 star becoz: - No free WiFi - Same Ban Chan for quite a while now, judging from pix from other Yelpers - Restaurant felt cold - Tea refill was inconsistent read more

This seemed like a tucked away hidden place. When we got into the restaurant, it was already full. However, we didn't have to wait long before getting a table. We ordered a seafood tofu soup and a dumpling tofu soup. Our food came with 4 side huge portioned dishes - kimchi, pickled radishes, honey soy beans and another dish. The purple rice came in a heated bowl. The food was good, price was cheap and the service was great. This definitely warms the body up on a cold day. Definitely come check this place out! read more

Came here for a quick lunch and ordered the seafood pancake ($13.27) and the Pork Bone Soup ($11.51). The seafood pancake was nice and crisp and not greasy. However, for the price, they give very little seafood. The pork bone soup is similar in quality to other places but pricier. The only nice thing is that they serve purple rice in a hot bowl. The appetizer selection is also quite limited and not as great as other places. Servers are very friendly, but once you've ordered and got your food, they never come back. I had an empty tea cup which they never came to refill. Overall, the food is decent, so good place to come for a quick lunch. But if I have more time, I would much rather go to Cho Sun Ok or Koryo. read more

Kim’s Tofu - Dumplings - Korean Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

I really wanted to like this place because I love soon tofu and not having to go to North York for it. Ok let's get the positives out of the way first, because there were some - the purple rice and tofu were both good, and you can select your spice level. Now onto why I was disappointed - first of all, the service was unreasonably slow on a night where the restaurant was half empty. I ordered the seafood soon tofu which literally had one mussel and two small mushy inedible shrimps. Most places are stingy on the seafood when it comes to seafood soon tofu, so I'm already not expecting much, but what I got was just ridiculous. I was basically eating just tofu and rice. Maybe it was just a bad night or a dish to avoid, but it would take a lot for me to come back and give them another chance. read more

During pandemic, I really want to suppose local shop. This pork bone soup is disgusting! Just got it today Jan 4, 830pm. Terrible never will go back again! No taste, no flavour, no spicy, feeling dry the pork bone. I think they just added extra water to create this so called pork bone soup. Super disappointed. It is a sad dinner!!! Totally different then what I used to dine in. After I got home, open it & the soup is no flavour, no spicy and looks like reused the soup and just added water in. Called them, they just said sorry then hang up the phone. Poor service!!!! Definitely won't go back for take out anymore!!! So upset!!! Definitely not recommended. read more

For $8, you get your selected type of soon tofu along with purple rice and very decent portioned kimchee/side dishes. Servers here were very efficient and nice. We went at a later time right before they were about to close and there were no problems. I love soon tofu and this place is deserves to have it in its name. Only downside I can think of the lack of other dishes. Dont remember seeing gamjatang etc on the menu, but the bf tried their kalbi beef and he liked it. read more

Kim’s Tofu - Korean Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

The "Buk Chang Dong" seems to be taped off from some of their signs and renamed to another soon tofu restaurant. Menu items seems to replicate the Yonge/Finch Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu restaurant, but it seems they have more menu items here like seafood pancakes and meat cutlets. I like how the portions of banchan the servers give us is bigger than other soon tofu restaurants. Each soon tofu meal comes with purple rice and they pour water into the stone bowl to make a "rice soup"of some sort which is actually a nice way to cleanse the palette after all that spiciness. Relatively quick and friendly service. Awesome choice in background music (more than 8 BTS songs in a row...woooo!) which made my meal all the more pleasant. Great place for some comfort food especially on cold days! read more

I love this Korean tofu soup chain after trying it out at Mississauga and at Finch station. So I was extremely excited when this place opened up close to home! However, the quality of their tofu soup is definitely not the same as the other two locations. I've been here twice, ordered the kimchi version and noticed they were inconsistent with the taste! Still - they make better tofu soup than other Korean restaurants in the Richmond Hill area. Also, I like their hot stone pot of rice that comes alone with it and the side dishes (I'm a sucker for those :p). So if you're craving for Korean tofu soup, it's worth a try! Another good thing about this location is that there are no line ups/wait! (I know about the long wait at the Finch location.) read more
