Hearty, comfy and volume-y!!! You can't really go wrong with BCD, but it has been years since I visited last... so I gave a try again. the food quality is the same as I remembered as well as the portion. Service was good. Not anything out standing but I do not expect anything more from BCD. Just serve the right food in timely manner and that's it. read more

BCD Tofu House - Bibimbap Combo / 비빔밥(소고기 또는 두부) + 순두부 拌饭+豆腐 - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I've been going to BCD Tofu House for years. This location consistently stand out for services! The hostess, server and staff were all really attentive and welcoming. We ordered beef tofu soup and seafood pancake! Both were delicious! Whenever I ask for more side dishes they seem not to mind for refill. Unlike some other restaurants. The only downside is parking at the plaza on the weekend is a nightmare. read more

So much food! I ordered the bulgolgi set and I could have easily shared with 1-2 other people. The tofu soup was a standout - it was thick and rich. I would definitely recommend adding the egg to the soup ASAP to get the best texture! The bulgogi was good, but nothing special. Staff will give unlimited little side dishes, though the dishes did seem to rotate. It was usually a surprise what they'd bring! There is plenty of parking, but there can be a long wait. This is a very busy restaurant! read more

8/10 Got the galbi combo with a spicy clam tofu soup. Galbi meat quality was amazing today and the tofu soup was burnin in a good way. BCD is a go to for Korean food for me, but the prices have definitely gone up from when I first started going. But still is one of my go to's for tofu soup fs. #burnbabyburn read more

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. read more

My friend group and I love BCD. 4 stars for our most recent visit as their banchan options seemed more limited than normal - no radish. But their service was good in refilling our waters and the banchan. Their tofu soup is consistent and the medium spice is perfect. The stone pot rice was also a great part of the meal. read more

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! read more

BCD Tofu House - Galbi (BBQ Short Rib) / 갈비 烤牛排骨 - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

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. read more

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. read more

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:) read more

BCD Tofu House - Korean Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

BCD is one of my favorite tofu soup places. Came here to eat with family after getting back from a trip and it was so satisfying! Service was great as always. Very attentive. I always get the tofu soup when I go. My family likes to get the combos since it feeds more. The only thing that kinda put me off was the dish cart the staff pushes around to clean tables. I think the spaces between tables is too narrow and when the cart gets pushed in between, it's a bit too close for my liking. I just think about all the gunk that's in those containers being so close to my food. Other than that, everything is great! I always come here and enjoy eating their food. read more

Rainy days call for comfort food, and BCD really hit the spot. I've been coming here for years, and today's seafood tofu soup was exactly what I needed.

Amazing service despite how busy it is!!! The servers checked on us 8-9 times throughout our meal which was unlike most Korean restaurants. Truly appreciated their hussle. Their spicy pork combo was really delicious (not too spicy more like 3/5 spiciness) and the portion was gigantic. We ordered the kids meal which was actually ALOT of food. For $10 you get enough to feed 2 little kids. We even had leftovers. We came at peak lunch on a Sunday and they were able to clear tables really quickly. read more

Don't dress it up, come here to enjoy yourself. Sandals on your feet, raw marinated crab and soon tofu on your plate, and wearing a shirt you don't mind getting dirty. Every location feels like you're pulling up to your auntie's house and she's not playing around. Food always comes out quick, consistency is rock solid from every location, and there is never an issue with quality. You're treated here like a cousin or a nephew, and it is never too loud or too confined. Eaten here for a decade, so from age 20 to 30, and will eat here for a decade more. I'll post an update when im 40. read more

Oh, BCD! I had been craving BCD for a few weeks, so we decided to go to this location because it was closer. They're in a plaza, but parking is not an issue. We went on a Saturday night. I would say it was around 7p but surprisingly, there was no wait. We were seated right away. They sat us up in the front by the kitchen. Our server took a long time to stop by and take our order even though we were sitting right there! We had to call her over to take our order. The sides were not that great. The kimchi was bland. We didn't even eat any of it other than when we tried it when they first brought it out. We always get constant kimchi refills at the KTown location or other restaurants. We were disappointed it wasn't like that here. I got my usual veggie tofu soup, and it was just okay. It did not taste the same as the K.Town one which sucks. It was bland, all I can taste was the spice and water. My bf ordered the original with beef and it was ehh. Meat was on the chewier side. His was also watered down. I will probably not be coming back here. The K.Town location is very consistent in food quality, taste, and amazing service. read more

BCD is always a hit or miss. This time, it was a miss. The tofu soup was so bland! Very disappointing. We came on a Friday and they were very busy but that doesn't mean they should overlook on quality. We still enjoyed the sides and meat, but soup was disappointing since that's what we came here for read more

Came here on a Saturday around 2:30 PM and there was a bit of a wait, around 20-30 minutes. Once we got inside, the vibes were casual and relaxed. The banchan was delicious and offered a nice variety--including a small fried fish. Here's what we ordered: Seafood Pancake: Crispy, slightly oily, and generously filled with seafood. Personally my favorite dish. Beef Tofu Soup and Bulgogi Combo: The tofu soup was comforting and well-seasoned. I just wish there was more meat. But the classic sweet, flavorful, and tender bulgogi made up for it. Spicy Raw Crab: Fresh, nicely seasoned, not too spicy I'm deducting one star because only white rice was available--would've liked an option of purple or brown rice. read more

Very healthy choices and super fast service! Attentiveness is always key for me the little things!

Unfortunately I think we got the short end of the stick when coming here. I went to another branch last time and had a much better experience. Wait for food was total around 30 mins~ everything took so long to come out that we had our banchans refilled 3 times. It was around 10-15 minutes in between each of our 3 things to come out. We got the bulgogi + seafood tofu soup combo and the seafood pancake. Seafood pancake and bulgogi were great, but the tofu soup tasted like water and was flavorless. I was so disappointed because I was looking forward to eating some yummy tofu soup too. I would've sent it back but they took so long to push it out we didn't want to wait for a remake The low rating is due to the combination of wait times for the food + the flavorless tofu soup. Might have to try another branch next time. read more

Omg better than what I have in San Gabriel. BCD Rowland height is just as good as the one in k-town. The LA galbi is perfectly flavored and tender. The seafood tofu soup was super umami. The seafood pancake was good with flavor but wished it was a little more crispy. The parking can be challenging on the weekends and at night but it's avoidable on a weekday lunch. The restaurant was clean and had plenty of space that you didn't feel like you are jam packed in. read more

By 8:30 PM, there are very few places that are still open in my area so we travel to Rowling Heights for good food. On Friday nights, BCD Tofu close at 11:30 PM. At 8:30 PM, they are still very busy with lines out the door. But as soon as you sit down, they're ready to take your order and serve you the food. The seafood pancake was excellent. The ribs were delicious, but a little fatty. The hot stone bibimbap has that crunchy rice on the bottom. The waitresses are always nice and polite. read more

It had been years since I visited a BCD location only because I don't live near one, but I sure have missed it. Their banchan for one is very unique in that they offer the fried fish that I enjoy so much and the spicy salted squid. This location is not too large but does fit a good amount of people and it was packed on a Saturday early afternoon. I ordered the S1 with beef, spicy and it was as delicious as I remembered. The service was so attentive, the servers and even the manager made sure my glass always had water and my side dishes were always filled. read more

Service here is great, the manager and all the employees are so welcoming. Signed in on their waiting and only waited about 10 mins. The food was amazing. The galbi was so tender and deliciously marinated. Also tried the assorted tofu soup and it has good flavor and lots of tofu. Their rice in a hot stone is amazing and has a nice little crispy texture. The dumplings are crispy and the japchae was also delicious. So many veggies and good tofu. read more

Really good service and great host and gave us right tasty food and gave us a side of the duck head

I'm writing this because I've had good meals here in the past, and I'd rather see it improved than ignored. I ordered the Galbi combo and noticed the meat was much more well-done and tougher than usual. Unfortunately, a couple of hours later I started to have diarrhea and was sick through yesterday and today. Sharted like 28 times already. I understand that symptom can have multiple causes, but the timing and the noticeable change in food quality made me concerned. I hope management reviews food storage/handling procedures and quality checks, because this was a rough experience and not what I expect from this place. 4 stars only because I come like once a week for the past year and had no issues read more

This restaurant used to be on our regular rotation years ago, but the plaza got so crowded and parking became such an issue that we stopped going. We decided to return since it was a weeknight and the weather recently turned chilly, which always makes me crave soon tofu. My friends and I were so impressed with the service that we commented on it several times! Firstly, the staff came around and refilled our side dishes even before the entrees were served. We were starving so we immediately ate the fish and side dishes. Then they stopped by periodically just to peek at anything running low and brought us more without even asking. The restaurant was full so I was so impressed with their attentiveness. Our water glasses were refilled several times without prompting. They stopped and asked if we needed help with the rice pots. They cleared our dishes quickly. I can't stop raving about how spectacular the service was for just a regular midweek meal. The food was delicious as usual with good portions. Parking was also pretty easy. We're definitely looking forward to returning on another weeknight because I will still avoid this plaza on the weekend. Well done, BCD! read more

This is a classic Korean tofu joint, a great place to get comforting Korean food. We used to get their tofu soup but this time we want to get something different. We got the Galbi, Seafood Pancake, and Hot Stone Bimbimbap. The Galbi was very tasteful and fulfilling with every bite you can taste the succulence of the meat bursts with flavor. The Seafood Pancake was good with few chunks of seafood. Hot Stone Bimbimbap was standard, I like it with more vegetables in it. Accompanied by all the yummy banchan, this meal was satisfying. The service is prompt and courteous. The restaurant is simple, clean, and spacious. Definitely will be back for their tofu soup. read more
