My friend and I weren't very hungry at lunchtime, so we ordered the cold noodles and galbi combo to share. From the moment we ordered, it felt like our server wasn't happy that we were sharing one meal. She took our order but never checked on our table even once, while she continued to take care of the tables around us. Our side dishes ran out, and she never came by to ask if we needed refills or if everything was okay. She wasn't even the one who brought our food to the table, so I honestly didn't see any reason to leave her a tip. I spoke with the manager about the poor service, and they apologized and said they would do better next time. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the experience. The cold noodles were clumped together into one sticky mass, and the galbi was tough and greasy. I honestly don't understand the hype.
There was truly nothing here that I didn't like! I came with a group of 3 for a big lunch and we ordered a little it of everything. Soups and the bibimbap were my favorites, but honestly everything was delicious. Since it's been basically 0 degrees lately, I started with a vegetable soup and it was the perfect thing to warm me up. It was flavorful, steaming hot and so so good. I also loved the bibimbap! The veggies were crunchy and fresh and the meat was seasoned so good. I was the only one at the table that liked kimchi so I finished the entire little bowl, and basically had a great lunch. Everything came out quickly, they offered to wrap up our leftovers and the space is comfortable, bright and roomy. Highly recommend.
Loved everything we tried. This is a fantastic spot for a filling lunch! The bibimbap was top notch and came with so many fresh vegetables. The pickled cucumbers were my favorite - loved the mix of all of the crunchy veggies and the soft pillowy rice. The beef bulgogi was also stand out and came in the sweetest sauce. Pan fried dumplings were another winner - they come with a mix of beef, pork and veg. I just wish there was a way to identify which were which. Service was speedy and friendly. Prices are a bit lower at lunch and you also get soups and sides with the lunch special. It's a lottttaaa food. Cannot go wrong for delicious and hearty Korean eats!
We usually come in at around 5pm just before the parking lot gets too crowded and just before wait time gets agonizing. The banchan is delicious, generous and does help work up your appetite. We enjoy their seafood pancake here and love that theres a regular portion and a larger one. The combo meal is worth it. The LA Galbi and original tofu soup is our go-to especially during colder months. The rice is cooked perfectly and pairs so well with some hot spicy soup. We always leave full and satisfied!
It's a blessing to live within a few miles of Fort Lee. Why? Because the Korean dining scene there is unbeatable compared to other areas... If you live in Jersey, there's no need to venture over the Hudson River to visit NYC's Ktown. Sorry, I don't make the rules ;) We decided to have lunch at BCD Tofu House, a Korean franchise that has been around since 1996. They're well known for their soondubu, a spicy soft tofu stew served in a hot stone pot. This location is in a plaza. They have a parking lot that's shared with other businesses. There's also metered street parking nearby. We walked in during prime lunch hours on a Sunday and were able to get seated as a table of 2 right away. The restaurant is casual, clean, and modern with wooden furnishings and booth seating along the walls. There's plenty of tables for small and large groups. The menu consists of traditional Korean dishes like japchae (glass noodles), haemul pajeon (seafood & green onion pancake), galbi (ribs), bulgogi (sliced rib eye), bibimbap (mixed rice & veggies), soondubu (spicy soft tofu stew), yangnyeom gejang (spicy raw crab), etc. They also have soju, beer, and wine. Lunch specials are from 10:30am-3pm and are a few dollars less than regular/dinner prices. To get a bang for your buck, I recommend ordering an entree combo. You get a LOT of food for a lower price. We started our lunch with complimentary banchan. Some of the side dishes included kimchi, broccoli, black beans, potato salad, and a fried whole fish. Most of them have free refills! All were tasty and fresh, but my favorites were the beans (kongjang) and fish. We ordered two lunch entree combos: C2 Bulgogi (sliced rib eye) $27 C3 Spicy Pork Bulgogi $25 Each combo includes white rice + your choice of soondubu. You can customize the proteins, toppings, and spice level of your soup. We went with a kimchi beef (mild spice) and a dumpling (beef, pork, vegetable) with no spice (plain). All of the food came out in hot stone pots, ensuring everything was piping hot and fresh! The portions were more than enough for one person. The soondubu really hit the spot. Not only is it a delicious stew, but it's also nutritious. They give you a raw egg to crack into your bubbling broth, which adds a creamy texture to it. The tofu was soft and silky. The pieces of beef were large and tender. The broth was salty, rich, and comforting. It was a vibrant red color and had the right level of spice that I requested (mild). The kimchi added tangy and bold flavors to the broth. The meats were juicy and tender. The bulgogi was sweet and savory. It was marinated in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. The spicy pork had a nice kick of spice from the chili paste marinade. The white rice was perfectly cooked and served out of a hot stone bowl. You have the option of pouring barley tea into the bowl and mixing it with the leftover layer of rice on the bottom - this creates a rice porridge (nurungji tang). I didn't care much for this... it was just mushy rice with hints of a nutty/roasted tea flavor. Service was quick, efficient, and attentive. Even though they were constantly busy, the staff turned tables over quickly. We didn't feel rushed. Our server didn't miss a beat from start to finish. He didn't hover over us and was there at the right times when we needed him. Our banchan, water, soups, and entrees all came out within a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend a visit to BCD to satisfy your soondubu or Korean cravings! Great value + flavorful food + generous portions = happy belly.
This is my go-to restaurant when I'm craving some traditional Korean food. They do not take reservations, but they will give you a buzzer and the 45-minute wait during peak lunch hours on a weekend will not feel so long because you can have a coffee at the Korean cafe 2 businesses down, like my group of 4 did! The food is so delicious and the waitress was so kind. She helped us understand foods and ways of eating the food that we were not familiar with. This restaurant is bright and crowded at all hours, but full of Korean food lovers for a great experience all-around.
TLDR: The most iconic name in soft tofu, at least in the tristate area. Kimchi pork is my go to, extra fish IYKYK. The spicy marinated crab is also good and if you're going in the fall - Autumn Special is a must! Since the Bayside location closed down - we're all patiently waiting for it to reopen but for now, the Fort Lee location is the best one IMO. It's also more comfortable and the service is great. Your rice actually comes in the hot stone too. Kimchi pork is the better choice as opposed to the more popular mixed, at least I think so. It's tangy, a good amount of pork, flavorful and you can adjust the spice of course. The Autumn Special is my favorite. A hot stone bowl served with 7 different kinds of mushrooms and stir-fried pork. It also comes with a small stew too. While it's nothing hot and new - it is a classic and for good reason.
Where else would one go for hot stone pot soft tofu stew? Because they sell BCD-branded ready-made stew packs in Asian supermarkets, this restaurant has become a bit of a household name. But I believe there's still no comparison to getting it fresh from the restaurant. A few things make the dine-in experience super positive: - The variety and plethora of banchan, or free side dishes. I've noticed some Korean restaurants now tend to withhold these until your entrees come, and some even add a surcharge to refills. Not here. They put down plates of pickled veggies, potato salad, and even a whole crispy fried fish (one per entree ordered) before you even place your order. When our large party asked for refills, it was given with nary a stink eye. You've got to love that. - The hot stone pots are actually hot. This sounds a little a little ridiculous to say, on par with saying a black cat is 'actually black', but I can't tell you what a pet peeve it is to be served stew in a cast pot or pan that quickly chills. Here, my stew actively bubbles for a minute or so after it's set down before me because the pot has been properly heated. Since they serve raw eggs to crack into a stew, the hot temperature also delivers some peace of mind that the egg will properly cook. - Sharp service. Because a soon tofu meal comes with hot stone pot rice, they'll serve you your rice and typically ask you if you want to make nurungji with the stuck on layer of rice. This is where they pour barley tea into the pot and leave it to make a porridge to enjoy at the end of the meal. Because of this, I've noticed how our servers tend to keep a close eye on the pace of our meal so that they can swoop in and serve the porridge when it looks like we're at last bites. Someone was always on hand for banchan or water refills, extra plates, napkins - you name it. When I visited most recently, there was some construction in the upper parking lot that restricted the number of spots so I paid for street parking. But when I asked others in our party where they'd parked, they mentioned an attached underground lot that I'd completely not known about. So I'm here passing the good word onto you all, friends.
A very consistently good soft tofu place in Fort Lee. I always get the mushroom soft tofu - "mild" level. The side dishes are very decent, and the hot pot rice is sooo good - where they pour you some water to enjoy the leftover rice later. Their combo menu is various too where you can order either some fish or marinated meat. We usually get the stir-fried pork or beef, or mackerel to go with the small portion soft tofu. And above all, their service is good !!!!
Many side dishes (banchan) are great. Also, it's always nice to eat freshly made rice in stone pot and get a noorungji porridge at the end is . Service is great. LA Galbi is good as well
They specialize in tofu stew so it should be good. And they are. No frills, lowkey, casual dining to get your soondoobu jjigae fix. It's just not the same at other restaurants. They just do it so perfectly. I enjoy their nooroongji at the end with the last bit of the tofu stew I have left. Definitely add in an order of the LA galbi. They make their LA galbi really well, too. (La falling not in the pic i posted). Perfect combo: tofu stew, la galbi, rice, and the rice at the end to finish off the rest of your tofu stew and last piece of la galbi. Service is attentive and polite, but they can get pretty busy, especially on weekends.
Korean restaurant @ Fort Lee, NJ We had lunch Friday around 1:30pm and the restaurant was very busy. The restaurant is located where the Blue angel bakery is and there were ample parking spaces. We ordered lunch combo menu. The spicy pork bulgogi and seafood soft tofu soup were tasty, LA galbi was tender and nangmyun noodles were chewy and bibim sauce weren't too spicy. The grilled mackerel was cooked well. The servers were very busy but was easy to flag them.
Came here on a cold winter day looking for something soupy and spicy. They have tricky parking but more down the ramp. Probably best to come to this area on a weekday. Place was busy and packed for weekday lunch. We were seated quickly. They gave us recommendations and answered questions. Professional and friendly. Overall the food was good! Like Korean home cooking. Quick and uneventful. We will visit them again or another BCD house. Recommended!
When we are in NYC we skip K Town and come here instead. Clean. Better food, service and portions. Love love love the raw crab, soon tofu soup and kalbi beef. The little fried fish is a nice touch. Note to owner: the validated parking didn't work - we still had to pay. Please check that out. read more

Ordered the BBQ short ribs with tofu soup combo which came with white rice and various side dishes. The food was piping hot and the short ribs were tender and juicy.

On my way back to New York City and decided to stop by for dinner. It's my first time to the Fort Lee location. Walked in stopping 5:45pm and the place is buzzing as the place is pretty full for dinner service. The place is clean, modern but simple Korean decor. We were told to wait but for a couple of minutes and we were led to our table. The waiter came quickly to take our food & drink order together done drink choices are limited. We decided to share the galbi & soon tofu combo and seafood pancake. Banchan was quickly served with a nice of variety of salty, kimchi & sweet. The sweet glazed lotus root was nice and definitely try their whole small fried fish if you are not afraid of tiny bones. This is actually their signature side dish on the house. The kitchen was very efficient and very quickly all our entrees were bright to the table. As always the galbi was tender and tight balance of umami & sweet. The tofu is made in house so soon tofu is what everyone orders. I'm a big fan of seafood pancake and the crunch & chewiness is well balanced. Overall a very enjoyable meal. read more

My go to comfort food spot and my fave BCD out of them all. If I can give more than a 5 star I would! My fave are the combos!! - C1 combo 5/5: you can't go wrong with the LA KALBI here - C4 combo 5/5: recently tried this and became my fave and always my go to now. The kimchi and the sauce they use is sooo addicting - seafood pancake 4/5: not the best I've had, like that it's thin but it's a bit too mushy. Prefer my pancake to be crispy - C7 combo 4/5: had better raw crab before but it was still good - C10 combo 4/5: the squid was tender and juicy but felt really small portion compared to the others read more

I've been going to BCD for years. There used to be one in Bayside that I used to go to all the time. Then, when I moved to Manhattan, I would go to the one in ktown all the time. Now, I finally got to try the fort lee location! It was amazing. I always get the LA galbi combo which comes with galbi and onions on a hot plate, as well as a tofu soup of my choice. This time, I chose the mushroom soup. The galbi at the fort lee location was a lot marinated than the ktown location and I loved it! The staff were also very friendly and would offer to refill the banchan (side dishes) and water/tea. It's pretty spacious, as there are lots of seating available, but at times, it gets crowded because it is such a popular spot. They unfortunately do not take reservations but you can put you name down and they will give you a buzzer. There is a parking lot, which makes it so much easier to find parking in the area a enjoy a meal here! read more
Bumping my review to 5 stars. Not only do we consistently enjoy the food here, but I really have to commend the manager! The last time we came, my toddler was a little cranky and making a bit of a scene with his mini tantrum. I was quite embarrassed as he's normally very good in restaurants and isn't a bother, but wasn't even appeased by YouTube this time. The manager came over, unruffled and smiling, and asked him: "would you like me to show you how to use chopsticks?" And as if performing a magic trick, he peeled open the packaging, removed the chopsticks and the little connector that holds the sticks together, and voila, turned them into training chopsticks, and demonstrated how to use them. It was so neat my child was entranced, and played with the sticks for a while. Now that's how you handle customer relations! We ordered japchae this time in addition to our usual soondubu and meats. It was more tasty than I expected, and kid and I both loved it. The kimchi here is great too. read more

BCD Tofu House is always so consistent, which is why I keep coming back! My go-to is the medium spicy mushroom sundubu, and I love that every meal comes with their crispy fried croaker and an assortment of delicious banchan. My favorite side dishes are the fish cakes, broccoli, and spicy cucumbers. They'll sometimes include special banchan like acorn jelly with sauce or kongnamul muchim (seasoned soybean sprouts), which is always a nice surprise. Great Korean food and delicious every time! read more

Korean American who has eaten in Seoul and this place is the closest I've come to excellent Korean food in the USA. Busy but cool combos and selections. I'm not a fan of spicy tofu but the galbi dishes, meats and banchan were excellent. A bit pricey but a cool experience for anyone wanting excellent Korean food experience. read more

"Comfort in a Stone Bowl Every Single Time" BCD Tofu House is one of those rare spots that never lets you down. Reliable, comforting, and consistently flavorful, it is my go to whenever I am craving something hot, hearty, and deeply satisfying. My standard order is the Spicy Heamul Soon Tofu combo with L A galbi, and it hits every single time. The seafood tofu stew arrives bubbling in a stone bowl, rich with spice and packed with shrimp, clams, and silky tofu. The broth has depth and heat without overwhelming the palate, and cracking an egg into the stew right away makes it even more indulgent. The L A galbi in the combo is the perfect companion. Tender, slightly sweet, and beautifully caramelized. Here is my advice for anyone ordering the same: once you finish the meat, drop the bones into the still boiling broth. It adds another layer of savory richness and maximizes every ounce of flavor in that bowl. The banchan spread rounds everything out perfectly, offering freshness and crunch to balance the heat. Steamed rice and a cold drink alongside it all make for a complete and satisfying meal. The atmosphere is lively and casual, and service is quick and efficient. This is not a place for lingering over fine dining. It is a place to dig in and enjoy. read more

Spacious, plenty of parking, staff was friendly, and quick service. We got the mackerel combo, spicy pork entree, spicy squid entree, glass noodles with beef combo, and the mackerel. We got kimchi tofu soup with beef - mild for my kid, medium for my husband and very spicy for myself - all of them were great. Note that combos come with smaller tofu soups. read more
One of my favorite places to get Korean tofu soup. Their menu is huge and they have great side, dishes and appetizers. The service here is amazing and fast. Highly recommend this place. If you're looking for a Korean tofu soup, this is the place, the LA Galbi was amazing, portion sizes were great, I love how you get fish and Egg as part of your meal. I highly recommend this place. I would come back. read more

Stopped in Fort Lee on our way to the Poconos, and had a delicious dinner here! It's great that this parking lot has a lot of spots, but it does get busy, so it's best if you arrive for an early dinner. Thankfully, we found a parking spot right when we pulled in and we didn't have to wait to get seated at the restaurant. There are plenty of seats available at the restaurant (it's pretty big inside and open). For two of us, we ordered the tteokbokki as well as the kimchi sundubu. I loved both dishes, and my only wish would be for more rice cakes in the tteokbokki. Everything was so good, as well as the banchan (side dishes) that came complimentary. The hostess was also super sweet as was our server. read more

Bcd tofu house in nj is way better than the ny location imo. Ban chan (side dishes) are always on a rotation. They give you a decent amt - maybe 6ish banchan and an egg for your soondubu. They give you fried fish per person. The galbi here is charcoal grilled and a decent amt. Summer has neng myun specials and spring has joogoomi specials (small octopus) The rice is served in stone bowls, which they scoop out and put tea in the bowls - so you can get a bit of the noolongi ("burnt rice") read more
Disclaimer: I don't like soondubu so I can't comment on that, but I've heard from my fiancée that it's good. The kalbi here was great. The seafood pancake was pretty good, but I like it more loaded up with seafood. I thought I didn't like tteokbukki, but because of how limited the menu is here other than things like soondubu, I actually ordered it for the first time and it was delicious! The rice cakes were nice and chewy, and the red sauce was not too sweet or spicy. Side dishes were just okay in general. I would come again. read more

Every time I come here to eat, it has been a truly exceptional and delightful experience. The delicious food, great variety of side dishes and the attentive service from the friendly staff. I had the Grilled Mackerel Combo and it was very delicious. The atmosphere is also very cozy and the seats are very comfortable. If you are in the area then I highly recommend coming here to eat and enjoy!! :) read more
A Korean friend told me that BCD in Fort Lee is the best, even better than the one in California. I haven't had BCD for a while so I can't tell if this one is better or not. But I think overall it's good. Food is pretty well seasoned. For tofu soup, even if you can't handle spicy, you should prob still not go with the plain option cuz I think it's pretty bland. I would do the light spicy level for more flavor. read more
One of our favorites. It's a 'must stop' place on our many road trips between New York and DC. It hits so many notes- great deal for great value. It's always busy and loud, but you always get promptly seated. The food is fantastic. Portions are generous, the banchan is always fresh and bountiful (which includes fried mackerel- so good!!!), and the menu satisfies the palates of young and old alike. We give it five stars because the service is very attentive AND the food is fantastic. For us, when one is lacking, the other is affected. We feel that BCD does everything incredibly well. read more

Ask the Community - BCD Tofu House
Are there any vegan and gluten free options? If so, what are they? Thank you!
I can't say they have any main course items specifically for vegan eaters. It's mostly based around a meat, fish & tofu.
Do you are here steam egg?
No steamed egg here which is surprising for a K BBQ Rest but then again they're known for their tofu soups. I actually ordered 2 fried eggs and it works just as well over rice.
If we order takeout, do the dishes come with bachan? If so, do they all come with it or are just a few provided? I love all of them and don't want to miss out if we order takeout. Thanks!
All of the banchan comes with the order except the salted squid.
