    C2 Bulgogi combo with mild spice beef soup
    Francisco M.

    There's lots of plaza parking although with all the businesses here it can get hectic. There's also a few 30 minute parking to watch out for. There's lots of seating inside but it can get quite busy. There's also a waitlist tablet to check in. It's casual inside and the noise level is decent. They can handle a large group. The service was great and they were helpful. The food arrived quickly and at a good pace. The bulgogi was delicious and not too sweet. The mild beed soup is plentiful and isn't too spicy, definitely manageable for those who want some kick. Rice is nice amd you get crispy pieces at the bottom of the bowl. The cucumber side is good if you don't like cucumbers. It has more of a sesame.

    Rain, Rain go away! Craving for some hot soup for lunch and travelled to this place in Fullerton Rowland Hts. Lucky it's not crowded and no line we were able to get our seat fast. Food 100% Service 100% Ambiance 100% BCD Korean Tofu house ( original Soon Tofu) that serves Soon tofu soup with beef and seafood in bubbling hot stone pot. If you hadn't have this - you should try! It's delicious and it'll warm you inside out I had galbi combo with original Beef Soon tofu- come down and try this for a start. Oh choose mild soup ( spice level).

    I was craving Korean food, so we decided to stop by BCD. It was pretty busy when we arrived, but thankfully we didn't have to wait for a table. They had tables for big parties and a few for small parties. There is also outdoor seating but since it was raining, we wanted to sit inside. The ladies seated us right away and brought out the banchan along with tea. We ordered the galbi combo for $26.99 (lunch price) and the spicy pork combo for $24.99. The galbi came out quickly and was juicy, perfectly marinated, and tender. There were a few slightly burnt pieces, but it wasn't a big issue. Paired with the spicy tofu soup, it really hit the spot and completely satisfied my craving. The friendly ahjummas also refilled the side dishes without us even having to ask. Overall, the service was great this time!

    BCD is easily one of my favorite spots for tofu soup. There's usually a wait, but it's worth it in my opinion! I always get the assorted tofu soup; it's consistently tasty and comes piping hot. Last time I also ordered the galbi and it was really good too! Also I LOVE their kimchi. Seriously it's so good, probably my favorite kimchi from any Korean restaurant. Portion sizes are generous and I'm always so happily stuffed after. Food is served in hot stone bowls, including the rice. So good.

    Honestly feel like you can never go wrong with BCD. Their portion sizes are decent and their flavors are consistent. Normally I would go to the one in Ktown but the Rowland one is just as good. I ordered the Galbi combo which came with your choice of soup and I chose the seafood tofu soup. All meals come with their banchan (side dishes). My family also wanted to order some appetizers so we ordered the fried tofu and the seafood pancake. I thought the fried tofu was just ok; I've definitely had better before. I feel like you can never go wrong with ordering the seafood pancake. It's loaded with octopus and was flavorful. Would highly recommend! Service was excellent. We were seated quickly upon arrival and we received our orders quickly. There is a decent amount of seating in the restaurant but it gets packed during peak hours so I would recommend coming a little before peak dining hours. There is plenty of parking in the Yes plaza shared with other businesses.

    I wish we had a BCD in San Diego! Every BCD I go to it's like going to your Korean grandmas house and getting a nice hot comfort meal. All the sides are delicious, I especially love the kimchi here. Both soups were so flavorful and yummy:)

    BCD Tofu House is a popular chain Korean restaurant with multiple locations. My husband took me here for a dinner date. I love the wide variety of tofu stews that they offer on the menu. I had the mild beef soon tofu soup and my husband had the plain dumpling soon tofu soup. Each soon tofu soup comes with a portion of stone pot rice. Both the tofu soups here tasted rich, savory, and full of flavor. The amount of ingredients inside the soups was very generous as well. As for the seafood pancake, this was the perfect dish to share (cut into eight slices). It had an amazing crispy texture and the batter to seafood ratio was perfect. Although a bit oily, it was very delicious. In addition, the banchan offering was pretty great. We were given yellow croakers, cucumber, fish cakes, and kimchi. I think they rotate the banchan selection every now and then. It is great that this restaurant is open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, making it the ideal place to go for a late dinner. Plenty of parking spaces are available in this busy plaza.

    One of the best dish to consume when it's breezy...my favorite is the spicy seafood Tofu with unlimited sides. A feast for the soul.

    Even though BCD Tofu House is a well-known chain, I've noticed the banchan (side dishes) can vary slightly depending on the location--and yes, it does make a difference to me especially the fried fish! :) I've visited a few different locations, and the Rowland Heights location continues to be my favorite. The sides seem to had changed. no beans sprouts and potatoes salad as the option this time but so happy for the fish. I did notice two new options -- Korean Tripe and Spicy Raw crab! Another change is egg, needs to be requested not like before automatically added to the order. I only have tried the BCD seafood soup -- always opted for the seafood--flavorful, bubbling hot, and customizable to your spice level -- aim for the spicy but this round burned my tongue.

    First time visiting the Rowland heights location! Food is consistent, restaurant is significantly smaller, much louder, but they operate with love. Don't take their shortness as being rude, they're just busy, and trying to turn and burn up to 16 tables at a time. They have a manager who helps to maintain the waitlist, as we had a large party, he helped push two tables together to accommodate. The ambiance is chaotic, fair warning lol The kitchen and sinks are exposed so you can see and hear them slamming dishes and utensils. They also have barely any room to move their carts they transport the hot stone rice. If you find yourself in the corner waiting for the restroom, you will absolutely be in the way. Pro tip- don't get up from your table until you see that the bathroom is open lol This location also has you scoop your own rice from the stone pots, the Irvine location has the waitresses do it for you. The ajoonmas at both locations are sweet, and if you flag them down they'll be right over. Last note- the parking lot is WILD. So hectic, so crammed, the spots aren't clearly marked so it's kind of like when you park at a state fair and it's just a big empty lot where cars start to park in pattern When you have a bcd craving, I don't think much will stand in the way! Solid spot to get your tofu fix!

    I ordered the pork bulgogi combo. It came with the meat, rice, and your choice of soup. I chose the dumpling soup and a medium spice level. They also bring out a bunch of sides. There was a lot of food. The broth of the soup was great and the rice was fresh. The only issue is this area is usually is packed and we did wait a while on a Saturday night.

    Beef tofu soup
    Christy C.

    Got the Bulgogi Combo ($30.99) via UberEats. The container contained a decent amount of bulgogi and plenty of onions on the bottom. Wish the meat was more flavorful since it tasted a bit bland. This was 7/10 The beef tofu soup was just ok. I've gotten it mild spicy and it was too spicy for me so I got it non spicy. The tofu doesn't taste as good as it used to. I'm not sure if they make it in-house like how they used to because it doesn't taste as soft or fresh. The soup was very salty and greasy. This was 6/10 The banchans consisted of beancurd, kimchi, bean sprouts, eggplant, and fried crocker. The banchans didn't taste as fresh as it used to I doubt they make it themselves anymore. I was disappointed that they gave me eggplant instead of the usual mashed potatoes. The banchans didn't seem like anything special to me unfortunately. This used to be my favorite Korean tofu spots but I don't think it is anymore.

    Amazing food and service as always. The waiter ladies were always refilling our sides when we called them over! The waiter ladies wasn't too bad on a Saturday night around 9-10PM! It was maybe a 10-15min wait since we did run into the dinner rush. The seafood pancake is so yummy!

    Located in Yes Plaza, a very popular plaza with many popular shops. Parking here can be really tight and packed, despite that, there's plenty of spots to go around. Similar to the BCD in KTOWN, there's a yelp waitlist that can be accessed in person only. My wait time with my wife was about 20 minutes on a Friday evening despite the waitlist saying about 30-40 minutes. BCD has one of my favorite banchan sets, and always comes with fried fish with tofu soup. The standout banchan is definitely the fish cake, the staff always refill banchan unlimited times but this time around, my wife and I didn't need to as our orders were very fulfilling. The tofu soup is always super delicious here, all big portions with egg addon and a bowl of rice as well. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any tofu soup, all just down to preference of food. We we're feeling a bit more hungry this time around so we ordered the seafood pancake to share. Portions are massive for this pancake, easily shareable between plenty. It was perfectly cooked and it's crunchiness compliments the other dishes really well. Super savory and yummy. Only downside to this branch is that the space is not ideal to a "spacious" type restaurant. There were a lot of times where staff would pass by with carts for either orders or cleaning tables and it would almost hit not only my wife and I, but other customers as well. Other than that, food is delicious and well made, staff is fast and friendly, affordable. BCD is comfort food at it's very best.

We decided to split both dishes, and the portions ended up being pretty large for the price. We were full and still managed to have leftovers to take home afterward. Overall, the food was filling, seasoned well, and well portioned without being overly expensive. The only downside was that our waters were never refilled during the meal, although it honestly looked like there was only one server working at the time. Despite that, the service was still quick overall, and I'd definitely come back again to try some of the other items on their menu.

    I feature this business for the stew in my Food Reviewing Dungeon Meshi panel…read more Came here ages ago with my best friend and her father. Great place to get some hearty stew on a cold day, during lunch or dinner. Super generous portions and definitely enough to take home for later as well. Restaurant is quite spacious and with lots of booth seating, but I can only imagine how busy it could potentially get. There's plenty of parking in the plaza since the 2 main stores/market chains are now closed. For our visit we got a medium gamja jeon-gol, which is their spicy pork bone soup with potatoes. There's a slight heat to it, but not super spicy as I was with some Cantonese people who can't handle spiciness, so they had it at mild. Still a rich umami taste with flavor to it. Pork is moist and plentiful and so are the potatoes. There's also lots of greens and I think, leeks in the stew. Lots of banchan to snack on too and all of us got a small bowl of purple rice as well (my favorite!) About 1/3 of the way through, we packaged most of the stew to go and we had our complimentary fried rice which is made inside the same pot as the stew, absorbing the delicious stew flavor. There's nori seaweed strips and sesame seeds added in for taste and flavor too. Good stuff. I'm, unfortunately, not a fan of picking meat off the bone so this was kinda hard when the soup was still boiling hot, but other than that, delicious.
