BCD Tofu House is one of those classic LA Koreatown spots that never disappoints. Open late and always buzzing, it's the perfect place when you want something hot, comforting, and full of flavor. Their Soon Tofu soup is the star -- bubbling hot, deeply savory, and customizable from mild to seriously spicy. The soft tofu melts into the broth, and the combo with BBQ meats or galbi makes it even better. The free side dishes, especially the kimchi, add to the whole experience, and the crispy fish they serve at the beginning is a nice touch that regulars love. It's casual, loud, fast-paced, and exactly the kind of authentic comfort food spot that makes Koreatown in LA so special. read more

When some of my family members from out of town were visiting, we decided to check out BCD Tofu House. It was a Monday evening, but surprisingly still busy. We got there around 6 pm and put down our names, and within 15 minutes were seated, which was not too bad considering the amount of people who were also waiting to be seated. There were six of us, so we ordered a couple of items. We started off with the seafood pancake which was delicious. We also ordered the bulgogi, the bibimbap, galbi, and a fish dish. Each item came with a soup and rice, and there were also a bunch of small side dishes like kimchi, and other veggies, eggs, mashed potatoes, and some salads. It was a lot of food. You will definitely not go feeling hungry after a meal here, so make sure you come hungry! All the food was delicious but my favorite was the beef short ribs or Galbi as the Koreans would call it. It was super flavorful and super tender and juicy. The only thing that fell short was the service a bit. Everyone was friendly and attentive but, we didn't get our rice till almost the end of the meal. I normally like to eat the rice with the meat, so by the time it actually arrived to the table, I could barely eat it, as I was too full from everything else. Overall, it's a spacious and great place for some authentic Korean bbq and food. I can't wait to come back here again. Especially for that galbi! read more

Mother's day special... if you are a mom over 65 years old, you get free serving of spicy raw crab or a bulgogi...nice. but darn it.. I'm not 65 yet but I'm still a mom!!! so please don't say mother's day special. in around 1pm. The wait was 30 minutes. The front porch was full with people waiting. Luckily, It moved pretty fast. My serves was friendly and fast. The food came out pretty fast too. Ladies in black taking care and keeping eyes on the situation were all smiles. Comfortable Ordered set 1 and 2, with seafood pancakes. Everything is delicious. Perfect temperature and very filling. The place is packed. Only problem is... table is too small to fit all the food that we ordered. Same thing to the table next to me. No place to put their hot plates. read more

A friend from K-town suggested this place, so I gave it a shot, and it did not disappoint. We ordered two BBQ combos (beef short ribs + chicken teriyaki), which was honestly the perfect amount for three people. Super filling -- we all left with full, happy tummies. We got there around 11:30 a.m on a Saturday and it was perfect timing. By the time we were halfway through eating, there was already a waitlist forming, so definitely come early if you can. read more

Hands down the best tofu soup & galbi in LA!! My go to is the LA Galbi Combo, which comes with BBQ short ribs, stone pot rice, and tofu soup. I usually get the seafood tofu soup because it comes with shrimp and clams! The BBQ short ribs are insanely good and tender. Well marinated and glazed with a semi sweet sauce sizzling over a pan of grilled onions. The flavors are immaculate and it pairs so well with the white rice. I love how the rice is served in a stone pot because the rice is crispy on the bottom and soft on the top. Best of both worlds! The tofu soup always comes with an egg and has great savory flavors. Tofu is soft and fresh. I also love the complimentary side dishes they give (kimchi, fried fish, fish cake). Free parking lot! Wait times could get long so I'd recommend getting there early to beat the rush! Super spacious inside with the choice to sit in booths or at regular tables. Service is great and quick. I love BCD!

When I need a meal that never misses, BCD is always the answer. This place is as consistent and reliable as it gets, and honestly feels like a home cooked meal from grandma every time. It's also home to one of the best late night eats in the city. My go to is the LA galbi combo and spicy pork bulgogi, and the flavors are always on point. Portions here are huge! Food comes out fast and the banchan spread is incredible. The fish cakes and fried fish are easily my favorites. Service is amazing no matter how busy it gets, any time of the day. This is Korean comfort food at its finest and I'll keep coming back whenever I need that warm hug of a meal. read more

I've been here many times so this review is long overdue. BCD is the perfect casual dining that is good for any occasion, whether you're solo dining for lunch at 1:30 pm, or drunk at 1:30. I also get a combo which comes with a meal & tofu soup for around $30 which is a pretty good deal. The banchan is always fresh and really tasty, and I've tried a few of the entrees including the LA Galbi, the Spicy Pork Bulgogi, and the Bulgogi combo. Everything has been super filling, comforting, and packed with flavor. There's usually a wait, but service is always really fast once seated! read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I was brought here by my friend, he regularly come here and recommended. I was told that despite a lot of people waiting, they have plenty of tables inside and the line moves very fast. I found that was true and very happy about that. We just ordered tofu soups. When they brought the fish out I thought it was a mistake because I didn't ordered it. I just found out that was complimentary. I was very impressed. Customer service deserves 5 stars sides dishes kept on coming and kimchi was very fresh and delicious. My seafood tofu was also tasty. Highly recommended. read more

Heard so much about this place and finally got to try the seafood tofu soup. Service was quick and efficient. The place was clean and spacious. I can't wait to come back to try more! Tip: Be prepared to wait a little before being seated, especially during weekends. This location is big so the wait should be relatively short. read more

Went back with a bigger group and although the food is good, the experience wasn't as amazing as it was last time. I felt like we had to keep asking for things that they kept forgetting and when we did, they seem to be annoyed that we were asking for it, even though they were the ones that had forgotten about our ordered items. That being said, we will still probably be back. read more

We love coming here for the best lunch prices and filling combos. The meat dishes are delicious and cooked well, side dishes are constantly refilled and the tofu soups had such a great spice level. I could be satisfied enough with just the soup, especially the kimchi beef soup. Service is so fast and being in seconds and thirds for us since the kimchi goes quick. The wait to get a table for 4 was only 20-30min and went really fast for a Sunday. Parking was also easy with the parking lot. This is a great regular lunch and dinner spot to trust you'll always leave happy! read more

BCD Tofu House - Bibimbap Combo 비빔밥(소고기 또는 두부) + 순두부 - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

See all

When you're craving soft tofu soup, this is a good place to try. Their soft tofu soup is decent. I always order it medium spicy, but it's not very spicy. Their kimchi is usually very good, but today it was a bit bland. However, their spicy squid banchan is always good -- very tasty, and the garlic flavor blends well. One of my favorite banchan dishes is the fish cake; their fish cake is flavorful, and the sauce is well absorbed. The bibimbap comes with extra gochujang sauce. Thankfully, we didn't use it all! I recommend starting with half and adding more if needed. I like their spicy pork bulgogi -- it has a fiery, smoky flavor and the portion is large for one person. Definitely worth getting it to-go for the next day's meal. One thing I noticed: sometimes they scoop out the rice in the bowl and pour hot water in it, and sometimes they don't. Today, they didn't. It would be better if they were more consistent. Service is about 5 out of 10. The staff seem to just do their job without much attention to the tables. The host, cashiers, and some servers don't smile at all -- it feels a bit robotic, which is disappointing. I wish I could give 3.5 stars. I'm giving 4 stars because of the food. read more

Didn't know that the tofu soup has shellfish broth, it's no wonder why it's so damn good. Been coming to BCD Tofu, pretty popular for being open late and It's always a wait during the weekends. I always get the combo set, can never go wrong with any of the tofu soup. The LA Galbi is always a win, with all the banchan supplied my tummy is always filled with joy. read more

Can't go wrong with BCD! Been coming here for years and it never disappoints and always hits the spot. I do hate how their prices go up pretty much each year, but it is one of best tofu's in LA. The service is usually hit or miss depending on how busy it is, but the servers do try their best. Today I went with my kid and was surprised to see they added a kids menu! Comes with super mild tofu, rice, dumplings, and choice of bulgogi or chicken teriyaki. Made the dining experience for the kiddo much more enjoyable read more

My mom was craving Tofu soup and she used to go here alot years ago. So glad we did, loved the menu options, portions were good, and super friendly staff. They were so busy and they managed to be attentive with our requests. Ordered the kimchi tofu soup with bulgogi and chicken teriyaki combo. My mom ordered the seafood tofu soup with galbi combo. Both were delicious, but definitely prefer the galbi - will order that next time. Their banchan was so good, kimchi was crunchy, just the way I like it! And more than enough choices to go with our combos. We also ordered the fried garlic tofu and japchae - also very good. Will Definitely be back. 10 out 10 for me! read more

Came here for lunch today! Food: We ordered the spicy pork bulgogi w/ original beef soon tofu soup and a seafood pancake. The flavors are amazing! Each bite was a new flavor, and I loved it. I don't usually give 5 stars but this place takes the cake! The wait isn't long for food. They are always refilling you with the banchans (sides). The cucumber salad and fish cake sides were my favorite! The soup was perfect for the rainy weather in LA today. Perfectly seasoned. The seafood pancake was fried really well. They do not skimp out on the amount of seafood they add to the pancake. Service: All the staff are super attentive. They walk by and refill your waters and side dishes without you even having to ask. I think that is a best type of service . Parking: There is a FREE parking lot with LOTS of spots for the restaurant. Drinks: They provide free iced water and warm barely tea! We tried both, and the tea is great. Overall: 5/5; I don't think I could find a complaint. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. They put so much tofu in your soup! They are not stingy about their food. It's a great place to catch up with a friend or have a family dinner. The wait isn't long to get in to be seated. We were 6th on the waitlist and got in within 10 minutes. I would come back and recommend it to others! read more

This place is one my favorite places to eat when I come to LA. It never disappoints. Their bimbimbop and tofu soup and seafood pancake are my favorite dishes. The wait isn't bad, it's usually less than what they quote. They are open pretty late, so when we have late flight coming to LA it's convenient to come here . Love this location too, the restaurant is huge! Staff is friendly and great service. read more

Grew up in LA K-Town so this place holds a dear place in my heart. My family used to eat here during special occasions or when we finished Sunday church at St. Basil. As an ode to my dad, I took him here for a little celebratory lunch before he went back to the Philippines. We opted for a surf-n-turf option so we ordered the mackerel and LA galbi ribs. Each meal set comes with your own soon tofu, rice and banchan. The mackerel was cooked to perfection. Crispy on the outside but yet soft white meat inside. The squeeze of lemon brings this S-MACKerel over the top. Now of course, this fish has a distinct flavor so if fish is not your jam, then I'm sure their galbi ribs will surely satisfy. The ribs are always deliciously marinated and that smoky flavor imparted by the grill is just chef's kiss. For good measure, we also ordered the fried Mandi (dumplings). They were so good and it's hard not to eat more than two. The banchan was also legit. The sundubu jigae (tofu soup) always comes out piping out and bubbly. I'm sure some people would argue that restaurants are better. But for me, this BCD tofu location beats others in customer service and food quality. The spot is easy enough to get to even in busy Wilshire area, but they do offer a large parking lot. read more

I really loved the convenience of this spot being open late. We were craving Korean food and decided to give this place a try. Even on a Thursday night around 10:30pm, it was still pretty busy. We waited about 30 minutes before getting seated, which wasn't too bad considering the time. The space itself is bright, open, and spacious, which made the wait feel worth it once we were inside. The seating layout is very open and comfortable, and the service was quick when it came to getting our food out. That said, once the food was dropped off, no one really checked back in on us. It wasn't a huge issue though, because whenever we flagged someone down, they were attentive and quick to bring whatever we needed. The food was definitely the highlight. Everything we ordered was packed with flavor. We got the LA galbi combo along with the Korean tripe soup, and you can never go wrong with galbi. It was super tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The tripe soup was especially comforting, with a great balance of tripe and tofu. I liked that they give you an egg to crack into the soup while it's still steaming hot. We also ordered the seafood pancake, which was perfectly crispy and paired well with the dipping sauce. The meal came with rice and a variety of tasty banchan. If you're looking for a late night spot with solid Korean food, this place is definitely worth checking out!! read more

I went when it was raining and there was about an hour wait. I'm from oc and when im craving something that's comforting and close to home, I go to bcd because there are multiple locations there that I would always go to. I always enjoyed this location because it was big and the workers are really kind. I got the seafood pancake with the la galbi combo which i got the kimchi soup (medium spice). However, I don't know if it is normally spicy because when i had it, the spice was not there at all, so maybe they forgot? I really did enjoy the meal, everything came at a timely manner and I love the side dishes they give out. Probably one of the best kimchi and spicy cucumber sides I've had from a restaurant! I would totally come here again, and really recommend the galbi. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious:) read more

The food here is always SO good. I usually always get the Kimchi Beef Combo with the LA Galbi. The Galbi is so good and I like that they give you refillable side dishes as well. Service is very quick and fast here! One thing I really like about this place is that they're attentive and work quickly. It usually gets busy on the weekends but you usually don't wait too long.

Also, they're open pretty late so it's one of the best places to go to after an event! read more

We came in late at night & were seated within 2 minutes into a booth in the middle. The restaurant is huge with plenty of tables and booths for any amount of parties. The staff were all so nice and helpful checking up on us a few times at least. We ordered beef tofu & galbi combo which was around $34 or so which comes with a side of rice. I remember when BCD used to give us 2 bowls of rice instead of 1 but we made it work. The galbi was cooked to perfection & my beef soup came with a fresh egg I crack into my soup along with all the korean side dishes given for most orders. BCD is always a classic to go after a night out or if you're craving some yummy korean soup! read more

Amazing food! We loved everything we ordered. We left feeling so full and satisfied. Service was excellent and very attentive!

I and my family always go here for the tofu soup. In terms of the tofu soup, hands down, this is the very best place to go. Their soup, side dishes and kimchi, fish are so good and so authentic. The only thing is, you will have to wait around an hour at least and they are that popular. So, you have to come early or later but I believe they have waiting list online by yelp now. The parking is plenty and quite bit and they open 24 hours. Inside of the restaurant is a bit too noisy and loud but not too bad though. The service is consistently good and friendly. I just love this place and I can't say enough of this place. read more

've lived next to BCD Tofu House for over a year and a half but never stopped in because the lines always looked crazy. I finally decided to go on a Saturday afternoon between lunch and dinner and was seated right away, even though the restaurant still felt very busy. I ordered the chicken teriyaki combo with the original soon tofu. I started with the seafood pancake, which was by far my favorite. It was crispy, flavorful, and just as delicious when I had leftovers the next day. This place is super casual but service was quick and attentive, especially given how packed it was. I'll definitely be back. read more

It's easy to see why it's so popular. We had about a 45-minute wait for dinner, but the waiting patio had outdoor heaters, which made it quite bearable. The restaurant has a lively, bustling atmosphere that feels authentic and inviting, perfect for a casual meal with friends or family. We ordered a few of their classic soondubu (soft tofu) stews, and each one was piping hot, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The tofu itself was silky and fresh, and the broths had that rich, comforting depth that makes you want to keep sipping. The banchan (side dishes) were plentiful, fresh, and varied, which always adds to the experience. The food was soo good that we went back the following day for lunch and tried their spicy raw crab (양념게장)--absolutely fresh and delicious, bursting with flavor. LA Galbi and seafood pancake were very good too. Service was friendly and attentive despite the busy environment, and our food came out quickly once we were seated. Plenty of parking spaces, which makes it convenient even during busy hours :) read more

After striking out at two late-night restaurants nearby that apparently don't publish accurate hours, I ended up at BCD Tofu House around 2 a.m., and it completely saved the night. The fact that they're actually open 24 hours is a huge plus if you're looking for reliable late-night food in Koreatown. The seafood sundubu was phenomenal--rich, spicy broth with perfectly soft tofu and seafood, served bubbling hot with rice and a full spread of banchan. The side dishes seemed endless--they kept refilling them throughout the meal. Everything was delicious, especially the kimchi and the spicy squid in the red sauce. One thing I loved was the traditional stone-pot rice. The server transferred the rice to a bowl and added hot water to the pot so it could turn into nurungji (toasted rice soup), which you eat at the end of the meal. It's a small detail but it really makes the experience feel authentic. The service was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and welcoming even at that hour. For about $19, this was one of the best late-night meals I've ever had in Los Angeles. If you're hungry after midnight, this place absolutely delivers. read more

An OG K-Town establishment that's open till dawn. My partner and I arrived at around 10:30 pm and it was packed! We waited for about 20 minutes, which was pretty quick considering there were 16 parties (!!!) ahead of us. I ordered the kimchi beef tofu with spicy pork, and my partner and I split the seafood pancake. Kimchi beef tofu 5/5 : - warm, comforting, packed with tofu, kimchi, and beef. very solid! Spicy pork 4.5/5 : - great char flavor, good texture, just wish it was actually spicy. Seafood pancake 3.5/5 : - it was alright. not a ton of seafood, and the sauce provided was really salty. huge portion though for good price (fist for scale lol) Good service, lively inside, booked and busy. Happy to have this late night option available! read more

BCD Tofu House is like a staple for late night or after event place for a good Korean meal. This place is consistent with all the other locations I have been to when it comes to food, and everything. The one thing that really stood out was their customer service. For that itself I have given an extra star to give this location 4 stars. Everyone from the staff, security outside, and the manager who checked every table to see how everything is elevated the experience. The food was good as usual, I love the LA Galbi combination which I chose to get a Beef Original Tofu soup with. This place has their own parking lot which is great when in LA. read more

BCD Tofu House - LA Galbi (BBQ Short Rib) LA 갈비 Combination - Korean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Impressed with the overall experience. A glutton's dream come true. Short wait to get in, large and warm waiting area outside. You check-in yourself on a monitor and can view your place in the queue in your Yelp app! With over a dozen people ahead of us, we were seated in 10-15 minutes. C3 Spicy Pork Bulgogi Combo $28.49: - I ordered this combo, and received the stone pot rice and side dishes long before the main course. For that price, this is a steal considering all of the side dishes are AYCE. The only bummer is that it's not spicy at all despite the fire emoji warning on the menu. That's okay, maybe it was because we went after midnight. Maybe they sized me up and figured I couldn't handle spice? It was still delicious. Took some home to chop up with eggs and papas and make chorizo. Soybean Paste Soon Tofu : - with beef, mushroom, and squash clam(?) according to the menu. This is great, and this isn't a traditional thing to do but I add rice and kimchi and other side dishes to this soup. I sampled my friend's Seafood Soon soup and it tasted like a siete mares caldo. Such good flavor. Seafood pancake $16.99 - It wasn't small but it wasn't humongous. Something in between like omangous. Loved the fish sauce this came with. I was dipping everything in it, though :D Large parking lot with parking lot staff/security attending. read more

What We Ordered: -Hotstone BiBimBap Combo (L) $23.99 -Galbi Combo (Lunch) $26.99 This was truly a great meal! The banchan was fantastic; we especially liked the freshly made kimchi and spicy radish, and the fried fish was quite nice, too. I love tofu, and the ham, sausage, and cheese tofu soup was divine. I particularly appreciated how they instruct you to crack an egg into the boiling soup, mix it in, and wait two minutes for the egg to cook. The Galbi was excellent, and I would definitely order it again! My wife raved about her BiBimBap - she probably dreamed about it! That's how much she enjoyed it; she even tried to convince me to come back the next day, which is rare for her. We will definitely be back soon, and we hope to bring our son here so he can try it as well! read more

If you ever want soup, this is a great place to go to for soondooboo or tofu soup. I typically go for mild with ham, sausage and cheese. It's what I've ordered here since I was a teenager and I think it's the best flavor they have. Normally, I don't like meats like ham, but I think what makes this particular dish stand out is that they melt cheese into the soup as well, giving it more of a creamier flavor than its counterparts on the menu. I really enjoy the panchan here and it's always fun to be able to get different sides, a fish, a bowl of hot water in a pot with rice you can scrape off to cleanse your palate, and an egg to crack into your soup as well. It's truly a full experience when you come here. Another nice thing about the venue is that they have large tables, so if you ever want to do an event here, there's enough room for everyone. Plus, their staff is super attentive and nice and will continually refill your panchan and water here without ever asking. The service is actually quite impeccable. My only gripe is that they aren't open 24 hours anymore, but other than that, this is definitely a staple in Koreatown! If you haven't given read more

BCD is probably /the/ K-Town classic spot, especially as a late night post going out meal. I've been here over a half dozen times and I've enjoyed my time here. The hardest thing for me has always been simply getting into BCD. This location is incredibly popular. The parking lot is, like most parking lots here, incredibly cramped and often full. You could attempt street parking nearby but you'd have to be very lucky for this. If you manage to snag a spot, expect to wait 30+ minutes for a table inside virtually any night, weekday or weekend but especially late night weekend around the time people leave the clubs nearby. I love Soondubu in general and I often opt for the dumpling here which I love (though prices have gone up over the years). A bowl is enough for me to finish half and take half home to-go and it of course comes w a large side of white rice and a half dozen or so banchan so overall it's not the worst price ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more
