I love this place! The food is delicious and the service was excellent! If you're craving for Korean comfort food this is the place for you! I love the unlimited sides dishes that they have!

Brigitte M.

Solid late night spot... Needed a bit post pickleball and landed here. I got the Galbi entree plate, and as a table we split the seafood pancake. All the Banchan were good. Need to personally figure out how to eat the fried fish while avoiding the bones. Seafood pancake was delicious and crispy, and the galbi was tender and flavorful. It came with the spicy beef soup, which was perfectly spicy. Servers were super accommodating and attentive. It was also fairly busy for being so late, so great vibes. We will be back

Entree Combo-Clay Pot Bibimbap Combo / 비빔밥(소고기 또는 두부) + 순두부 拌饭+豆腐
Sherri W.

1st time here but whenever I hear BCD, I think of CBD(cannabis) for whatever reason. Anyways, came here during their lunch hour & got the Clay Pot Bibimbap. This lunch time combo comes w/tofu soup of your choice along with your Ban Chaan(side dishes). Every Korean place offers different side dishes so it's always fun to explore the options you get. Today's Ban Chaan surprise was the fish. The clay pot bibimbap had a lot of vegetables(spinach, carrots, fenbrook, mushrooms & bean sprouts) but not a lot of bulgogi meat. Nonetheless this clay pot was deliciously crispy & filling for me & my daughter to share.

I love BCD. We go yearly on holidays and it's always a delicious treat. My favorite is the golbi with the kimchi tofu bowl (I go spicy on the scale from none to extreme). The service is excellent; they can go as quick as you need, or you can sit and enjoy time with your friends and family with no rush. The wait has always been under 15 minutes- so don't fear a line. Great place to do family meals where there's a dish for everyone. I'm a big fan and have loved my many meals there.

Beef soondubu and banchan
Elisa L.

BCD always a solid spot for soondubu! My go to order is the mild beef soondubu which is a good spice level for me lol. Boiling hot and hearty bowl full of tofu and beef. Comes with a huge rice bowl and a variety of banchan. Service was pretty quick and attentive as the ahjummas are always checking in and asking if we want side dishes refills. We came around 9 pm on a Friday and there was no wait with a few other tables occupied.

Banchan

A hot, hearty bowl of BCD soondubu always hits the spot! My go-to is usually the mild beef soondubu which is perfect for my low spice tolerance. The portion is big with plenty of tofu, beef, and rice and a variety of banchan! The fishcake is delish. The ahjummas are always friendly and checked on us often. There was no wait on a Friday around 9PM

Pros: Good location with decent parking Bibimbap hot stone crispy rice was delicious and super hot temp wise Lots of flavor in all their dishes You can ask for varying levels of spice Soon tofu was so tasty - I still dream of this dish! Cons: Had to ask for Banchan several times They were out of bean sprouts Didn't have many servers so food took a while to arrive Pro tip: Come for the food, not the service cause they are busy!

Fast and delicious! We stopped by while in the area as we felt like having Soon Tofu soup. We were acknowledged as soon as we entered the restaurant by the manager. We went on a Friday evening so it was quite busy but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. The restaurant overall had sufficient seating. The placemats serve as the menu. Someone came over right away to take our orders. Another person came by with water. Every server at the restaurant had a role, so service was very efficient. We ordered the combo with the bulgogi and an order of tofu Japchae. Everything came out very fast and the portions were generous. Everything tasted great. You also get the usual side dishes like kimchi. There is a server that goes around with a cart and replenishes the side dishes. Overall we were happy with the food and the how efficient service was.

I love BCD and I'm happy that my husband got to finally try it. I think he actually prefers Kaju in Irvine just a tiny bit more, but food here is still really delicious. If you've never had soondubu before, this is a really good and reliable way to try it for the first time (which my friend did today, and he quite enjoyed it).

One of my mom's favorite places to eat Food is decent and filling. Also feels healthy but flavorful. Service is good Dinner times are pretty crowded

S3. Seafood Soon Tofu
Max S.

I came here with family. We sat where we wanted. The restaurant is made up of all tables indoors. No outdoor patio seating. They automatically serve hot water. The menu doubles as the placemat. I ordered the seafood Soon tofu, priced at $17.99. The assortment of side dishes were delivered first. There was the usual kimchee, fish cakes, potato salad, and pickled cucumber. I was surprised by the white fish with the head and eyeballs intact. It's a small crispy fried fish. I ate everything, excluding the head. Next was the white rice. It's delivered in a clay pot. Staff scoops and serves it in a round metal rice bowl, pouring hot water into the pot for the remaining rice. Finally, the tofu was delivered, bubbling and still boiling in a clay pot. I cracked my raw egg into the soup where it was allowed to cook. I ordered medium spicy. I didn't dare order the "dangerous" spicy. There were two shrimp, and three shell fish in my seafood tofu. Although it was hot in terms of temperature for a while, It was delicious. The staff were friendly. A little overwhelmed by the large number of customers who walked in all at once. There's plenty of free, shared strip mall parking.

BCD has been around forever, and has several locations everywhere. This is my first time here in Buena Park. The Good: Their food is always on point. I always get their kimchi/ pork tofu stew, spicy. It is SO good. They give you Korean fried fish, and many side dishes. We also got Korean bbq, which was very good. Just for their food, I will always return. One point off because the service here was very slow this day. Not sure if it was just that day, but I sure hope so. We waited quite awhile for our food to come out. One tip is you can come here on Yelp, and check live wait/ put your name on the guest list before arriving. Other than that, yes the food is still worth the wait :)

E9. Spicy Raw Crab
Eric T.

BCD Tofu House is a chain that I am a bit familiar with due to there being a location in Dallas / Carrolton. I know from visiting the location in Dallas that it is some decent Korean food, and this LA area location doesn't deviate far from that! When we showed up with our group of 9, there was a little bit of disorganization but that may have been due to a bit of a language barrier. Not long after we made the request for the table for 9, the servers and bussers began arranging a long table for us and we were seated shortly afterwards. The menu features pretty standard Korean dishes that you would expect at a place that serves soondubu and some cooked bbq items. One item(s) that stood out to me here are definitely the banchan / side dishes. The servers constantly walk around with trays full of extra banchan for whenever you run out. Our favorite was definitely the kimchi and fried fish. The kimchi was fresh when we visited, so not much of the desired funk, so it was extra crisp and very refreshing. I think we ate maybe 20+ mini plates of the kimchi. The fried croaker fish was served fresh and hot. You could tell the fish was fresh due to the flakiness of the meat as well. All of the banchan were good and were perfect for avoiding palate fatigue. Another item that I tried was the spicy marinated raw crabs. I am usually a fan of this dish but seldom order it due to the cost. During my visit, I decided to splurge and was met with a mountain of marinated blue crabs that were spicy (the menu warns you that it is very, very spicy--but I found it wasn't too bad) yet sweet due to the freshness and quality of the crabs. The crabs were perfect with rice and the meal was made complete with a little bit of solid / standard soondubu soup intermixed with bites of kimchi and other banchans. I would definitely recommend a visit here and I wouldn'y shy away from splurging on the raw marinated crabs or even the galbi!

We visited Han Yang around 10 am on a Friday and were seated immediately. The inside has a really…read morehomey, authentic feel, and it seemed like there were a good amount of locals dining here. Food: We ordered the Galbi-Tang and Sul-Long-Tang, and our food came out pretty quickly. Both soups were really flavorful and comforting, and the broth was definitely the most memorable part of the meal. The banchan on the side was a little weaker compared to some other Korean spots I've been to, but the soups more than made up for it. Parking: They have their own parking lot, which made parking easy when we visited. I really enjoyed the food here and would definitely come back, especially when I'm craving a comforting bowl of soup.

Han Yang is good. It's also wonderfully old school. Nothing about the place feels particularly…read moreinterested in being redesigned for Instagram, which I appreciate. You come here for Korean comfort food, metal dishes of banchan, enormous bowls of soup and stone pots hot enough to continue cooking your dinner while you eat it. And that stone pot is where I'd start. The gondre dolsot bibimbap was fantastic. Gondre is Korean thistle and here it gets worked through the rice with the egg, seaweed and everything else until the whole thing becomes earthy, savory and deeply satisfying. But the best part comes underneath. Leave it alone long enough and the rice against the stone develops that beautiful scorched crust, nurungji, which you eventually scrape loose and mix back through everything. That combination of the greens, sesame, egg and crispy rice is ridiculously good. There are dishes you finish because you're hungry and dishes where you keep digging around the bottom of the bowl because you're convinced there must be another good piece hiding somewhere. This was the latter. The galbitang was more complicated for me. The beef itself was excellent. Generous pieces, tender, falling easily from the bone and soft enough that our kids loved it. Plenty of green onion, too. My issue was the broth. I prefer galbitang on the restrained side so I can decide where it goes from there. Same reason I like seolleongtang arriving almost defiantly plain, give me the broth and let me dress it up myself with salt, saeujeot or whatever else I want. Han Yang has already made those decisions for you. The galbitang broth was noticeably sweet and salty and eventually it became a little much for me. That's preference as much as criticism, plenty of people will probably love it exactly as it arrives. I just wanted the volume turned down. The banchan was similarly mixed but mostly good. The napa kimchi was solid and nicely balanced. The kkakdugi was particularly good. The mustard greens, however, were ferociously sour. I like fermented food. These had me physically wincing. The dipping sauce for the galbi was excellent, though and I kept going back to it. Rice was average and a little dry. It did its job. Service was good and the whole experience was easy. The room itself has some age on it, tables are fairly close together and depending on where you're seated you may find yourself with a commanding view of the bathroom door. Nobody has ever requested the chef's table at the restroom, but here we are. Somehow I don't particularly mind any of it. Han Yang feels like a restaurant that knows what it is. It isn't polished into anonymity. People are here eating giant bowls of soup, mixing rice in scorching stone pots and getting on with their lives. And when a restaurant can put something as good as that gondre bibimbap in front of me, I can forgive a dry bowl of rice and a bathroom with excellent sightlines. Absolutely coming back. And next time, I'm getting that bibimbap again.

A few months ago my wife and I wanted to eat at Kitakata Buena Park. We understood there would be a wait. What we could not bear was the strong, revolting smell of sewage wafting through the parking lot just outside the restaurant. The smell had nothing to do with the restaurant. The smell came from a sewer line somewhere in the vicinity of the restaurant. Be that as it may, we left about five minutes into our wait. I knew that waiting any longer for a seat inside the restaurant would result in my wife and I eating our meal with the stench of sewage tainting every slurp and every bite. The problem is a city sewage problem, but Kitakata bears the burden. Please let me know the problem has been addressed by the city and I will return.

The first thing you notice is the atmosphere and the staff. You're immediately greeted with a warm, friendly vibe that sets the tone for the entire experience.

The food is solid, and the menu items work perfectly as shared plates for drinks. The portions are very generous and honestly it is hard to finish everything at the table even when you come hungry. What stood out to me most was how the servers manage the balance between attentiveness and privacy. They're always around when you need something, but once the conversation starts and the table settles in, they naturally give you space and respect your moment. That kind of awareness is rare and really appreciated. The seating layout also makes a difference. It's not overly open, which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a few drinks after a long day.

The sashimi combo includes cheese corn on an iron skillet, mixed tempura shrimp and vegetables, spicy fish stew at the end served with rice, numerous banchan like seaweed, edamame and kimchi.
