    It's a very popular tofu house with great sides. The tofu soup is great and has many get combos. The service is quick on bringing the food. It's a very Asian so you may need to ask for more water but they are very friendly. There is plenty of seating for groups or eating alone.

    Really good food and great service! Come here on a rainy day and the experience tis that much better, when it's chilly out. Love this place!

    I've ordered takeout from BCD countless times but this was my first sit-down experience and it was simply fantastic. At first I was intimidated as a non-Korean (given so many native speaking customers, and Korean language exchange bellowing through the restaurant) as well as the wait, but everything went so smoothly. Wait for our group of 6 was about 15 minutes which I was surprised given the size of the establishment, and after we were seated things went so smoothly. The manager (?), tall Korean guy seemed efficient, friendly and cared about all customers. Our waitress lady was so sweet. Talk about comfort food; it definitely hits different when you're eating this hot out the kitchen, fresh. My go-to combo is C2: galbi + soon tofu and it was just SO tasty. With the tasty banchan, prepare to leave full and satisfied. I'm still thinking about it.

    Enjoyed a dinner with family on a Saturday evening and we joined the waitlist. We waited no more than 5-10 mins. The restaurant was small, but seated many. It was quite loud, but that's pretty normal for BCD. The service was amazing and my waitress was friendly and super helpful. Sunny always checked in and provided extra banchan. I love their banchan and I find their food pretty standard across BCDs. We ordered the galbi and two mild tofu soups. Across of this, we were totally stuffed. The only thing I wished for was updating my soup to medium because the broth was really light. Everything else was delicious! Will definitely come back and support. Shoutout to Sunny for her service!

    I used to come to BCD Tofu House all the time, and after not going for a while, I decided to drop in for lunch. I ordered the combo with beef bulgogi and spicy pork. Both were really good, and they definitely give you a good portion size. A big highlight here is that the side dishes are always consistent--I love that they still give you the fried fish with your meal. Service was just okay during this visit. The restaurant was very busy, so I had some trouble flagging down a waiter when I wanted a water refill. Even with the slower service during the lunch rush, the food is as reliable and delicious as I remember. It's still a solid spot for a good, filling meal.

    BCD Tofu House on Sepulveda never disappoints. Every time my spouse and I come here, the food is consistently authentic and delicious. The servers are always friendly, attentive, and happy to refill the banchan whenever we ask. Their warm smiles and excellent service make every visit even more enjoyable. I always recommend BCD to my family and friends. When my friend visited from the Philippines, I brought them to BCD in Manhattan, New York, and they loved it so much that we ate there two days in a row. We've also taken friends from San Diego to the Wilshire location, and they loved it as well. Even after visiting several BCD locations, the Sepulveda restaurant remains our favorite. It has become a special place for my spouse and me, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic Korean food and outstanding customer service! Thank you! 감사합니다! (Gamsahamnida!)

    I really like it here because it's comfortable and the food is great, and I especially like the lady named Sunny who is very good and friendly , she helped me a lot.

    Really solid authentic Korean restaurant. The staff all speak fluent Korean and the boss is always around helping and managing the place. Really convenient big free parking lot too. The food is about $25 per person, love the bulgogi with tofu soup. Don't get the seafood pancake. Not worth the $16, and not very good. Too oily but was crispy. Couldn't see or taste the seafood.

    Absolutely love BCD tofu house and this location is no exception. Took my first ed her for her first time trying Korean food outside of KBBQ and she absolutely loves it. The food and service is perfect! The staff is very friendly and attentive! 10 out of 10 experience would definitely come again

    We like this location more than other ones. Their side dishes taste better & I like there are windows all around, letting the sunlight in. We got seafood soon-tofu & 곱창 (intestine) soon-tofu. We asked for the seafood pancake without the green onions and they said they will accommodate the request "this time" as the kitchen wasn't too busy yet. (We went around 4 pm so right before the dinner crowd. We enjoyed everything we ordered & the side dishes. We couldn't finish everything so brought the leftovers home. They even packed the seasoned soy sauce for the seafood pancake for us when we asked for to-go boxes. The staff were friendly & attentive. Next time we crave soon-tofu, we will go back to this location.

    It's been years since we ate at BCD Tofu House in Torrance. I saw a yelp review and was craving something tasty for lunch. We recognized the restaurant after driving into their parking lot. We were seated quickly but it took a while for anyone to take our order. We ordered the spicy pork and kalbi combos off their lunch menu, which is good until 3 pm. With lunch, we had a choice of their tofu soups. I went with the dumpling soup and my husband ordered the one with beef. It was sizzling when brought to our table. We each also got a hot stone pot of rice. The portions were generous for lunch and we took the rest home for dinner. My husband enjoyed his spicy pork and I liked the kalbi. They were pretty busy on a weekday, but we were served pretty quickly once our orders were taken. I'll be back!

    BCD is always value worthy. The portions are large and this location is generous with their banchans. The japchae could have used a little smokier but overall another great meal.

    I didn't realize there were several locations of BCD Tofu in the LA area. My cousin's neighbor in Torrance recommended BCD. Came here with a few of my cousins over the holiday weeknight. The place was packed. We had about a half hour wait for a table. The wait was definitely worth it. I went with the Kalbi combination. Every dinner comes with a grilled fish and tofu hot pot. Warning, it's a lot of food, with endless banchan (Korean side dishes of marinated veggies, glass noddles and Kim-chi) my fav. I don't care to see the fish eye and tail on the grilled fish, I prefer my fish to be filleted. None the less the grilled fish was delicious. I loved my kalbi, nicely marinated and most of it was very tender. I also had Korean beer to compliment my meal. All my cousins enjoyed their meals as well. Service is fast and attentive. There's plenty of off street parking in the lot. I'll definitely be back for more.

It starts with one of the chefs enthusiastically showing me and my wife some of the A5 Wagyu that he'd be using from Japan and I'm like, "sir. I know wagyu." I took my wife to The Cut on our first Valentines together (not compensating) and they had good Wagyu. I was wrong, dear readers. Dead wrong. This place knows Wagyu. Whichever tier you get, make sure it either comes with, or add on the A5 Wagyu Filet. They'll tell you to cook it 45 seconds each side (so 6 times), but here's a trick. do 45 seconds on four sides (the top, bottom, and the long sides), and then a bit of salt if you need it and some lemon slice. ADD THE LEMON JUICE!! BUT NOT TOO MUCH. That will take you out. You're welcome peasants. Think of me when you try it. Or don't.

I chose the Wagyu Omakase, and it was definitely a big and filling meal. You cook each piece of wagyu one by one at the counter, so this is a great place if you want to slow down, enjoy the process, and really take your time with dinner. The meat was very good, although some pieces were more heavily marinated than I personally prefer, but overall it wasn't too much. The service was good, the atmosphere was nice, and the whole experience felt very Japanese and authentic. The surrounding area also has quite a few authentic Japanese restaurants, so it's a great neighborhood for Japanese food lovers. Definitely worth checking out if you love wagyu and want something a little different from the usual sushi omakase!

I ordered the following items from the menu: St. Louis-style ribs, Beef rib, brisket, potato salad, coleslaw, and chili. The St. Louis-style ribs were very easy to bite into and flavorful. The beef rib (only available Fri.-Mon) was perfectly tender, smoky, and fatty. The bark wasn't excessively thick, which I appreciated. The brisket, which I got the fatty part of (they ask you if you want the lean or fatty cut) was my favorite of the three. So fatty, juicy and satisfying to eat. None of the meats really needed the sweet bbq sauce I got with the meal. The side items were spot-on as well. The potato salad, coleslaw and chili were the best I've had in quite some time. I regret not getting some chili to go because I have a sneaking suspicion a nice helping of it on hotdogs would be amazing. Can't wait to come back to this place. Forgot to order the jalapeño sausages while I was here. Looking forward to trying that on my next visit.

The service was smooth, friendly and efficient. They check on you just enough to make you feel cared for, but not enough to make you wonder if they're trying to adopt you. Respectfully attentive, the way all service should be. Now let's talk food, because this place had me rethinking my bellies choices. The spicy beef soup pulled up like a warm hug from someone who also isn't afraid to roast you. Flavorful, comforting, and spicy enough to remind you you're alive. The beef ox tongue, wow ..listen. If you've never had tongue that melts like butter and grills up with that perfect little snap, this place will convert you. I was out here chewing like I was signing a peace treaty. The prime rib‑kalbi was so juicy and tender I almost apologized to it for eating it. Almost. The kimchi came in hot with the tangy attitude, balancing everything like the responsible friend in the group chat. And the raw beef tartare. So delicious and clean, fresh, and seasoned like it went to culinary private school. I took one bite and immediately felt like I should be wearing a fancy watch. Overall, Sei‑Ko‑En is cozy, clean, delicious, and unintentionally comedic, because every dish had me making faces I hope nobody recorded. A must‑visit for anyone who loves Japanese BBQ with Korean soul and a side of "wow, I didn't know food could do that." Exploring great food, one bite at a time! Miguel C.

This restaurant opened over 40 years ago in the 1980s. They have not changed their seasonings or recipes since then.

My favorites are items you typically cannot get anywhere else. Their raw beef liver sashimi and their raw minced beef are amazing. It's really hard to find these creations. If you like liver, then you'll be an instant fan. If you're a little squeamish then you can always grill it a bit before you eat it lol Their cuts of meat are also a league above the rest. I loved them all! Their wagyu tongue, negi tongue, gokujo kalbi, tokujo ro-su, and pork belly are all worth writing home about. They also serve vegetables and salad to go with the BBQ. We also tried their yukkejan soup which is their spicy beef soup. It was very tasty. Savory and not too salty. Very well balanced. I'd eat this alone on a cold rainy day. The ambiance is busy with moderate noise. Lots of Japanese locals were there that night and were simply having an amazing time socializing. Overall 10/10. Definitely coming back!

Some parts of Japan might feed their wa-gyu herd beer and rice. Sakakiyama apparently puts their cows on a steady diet of rice straw, then cashew nut meal. I can tell you, the result is pretty damn good. While there is still that lovely, oily, marbled fat, it is leveled out in harmony with the beef content. I think those of you that have bought like, some $150/oz A5 Wagyu cut from a high end steak place know just how cloyingly rich a mere 2 or 3 ounces of beef can be. We tried out every top tier cut you could grill at this fabulous yakiniku. A5 ribeye, A5 short rib, A5 chuck flap, A5 ribeye sukiyaki style (the thinly sliced beef to dip into a beaten raw egg), A5 top round, A5 topround steak cut, A5 sirloin, A5 tenderloin... and even.... A5 Chateaubriand (that lovely tenderest part of the tenderloin that includes the filet mignon). They are all lovely and enjoyable in their own way, in their own way that they begin to grill, or even the way the wagyu kind of caramelizes into its Maillard reaction of cooking that lovingly marries that amino acid meatiness to the beef's inherent sugars. Your bite into heaven is merely the cost of Sakakiyama beef. And that glorious Chateaubriand, so beefy, yet lusciously tender, as that melted marbled fat boosts its power the way hollowfication boosts Kurosaki Ichigo's bankai to untold magnitudes of dominance!!! And don't skimp on the sides. Splurge on that demure bowl of shiso rice. The seasoning and sliced shiso leaves over white rice really brightens and freshens up the palate in a way that really complements rich fatty wagyu beef. The plate of seasonal vegetables are also the way to go. Just do it. Fresh, acidity, crisp vegetables brings harmony to the whole experience. And pair it all to a glass of red wine, or tall glass of Suntory The Premium Malts. It's what Ryo Saeba, the City Hunter would do. If you're splurging this much, might as well go all the way. Ne? Nyaa?! Victory must be absolute. Personal service might be slow, but they only had like 2 people on staff on the floor, running between only... EVERY table. But if you want to get their attention, use the electric bell on the table. But they're good people. Nice people. The greatest people. Serving some of the greatest food, the greatest beef. So some reviewers might think this yakiniku joint is among the worst. But I think it's one of the greatest! [Last note: we were lucky to grab a 50% off premium cuts weekend discount, normally this meal which heartily fed a party of 4 with drinks, would cost in the neighborhood of over $600. But even they do have a more accessible menu of US Prime cuts along with A5 and non-A5 wagyu.]

I remember really liking the food, so I'm not sure why it took me until yesterday to finally check this place out. It was absolutely amazing. They nailed every aspect of the dining experience. Let's start with the service. It was phenomenal. The restaurant staff members were pleasant and efficient. All the dishes came out very fast. While I cooked most of the meats on the grill, there were some items that were carefully prepared table side by staff. I enjoyed the ambiance of this place. There was music softly playing in the background. The room temperature was cool - an absolute necessity when cooking food right over open flames in front of you. I ordered the Manpuku Premium set. I loved the food, like a lot. Here's a run down of almost everything I had: Manpuku Salad: It was fantastic. I'm used to eating a Japanese salad with the generic carrot ginger dressing. You know what I'm talking about. This one had a nice sesame oil flavor to it. Not sweet, more savory. A refreshing change from the norm. U.S. Kobe Filet: This was probably my least favorite cut of meat of the day as it wasn't as marbled and flavorful as the rest of them. However, it was soft as butter - exactly what you would expect from a premium piece of tenderloin steak. Seared Beef Nigiri: It came with 4 pieces, but we ordered an extra two pieces. The nigiri was delightful. Imagine eating the perfect piece of toro nigiri except it was made of highly marbled Wagyu beef. U.S. Kobe Sukiyaki: This was easily the best thing I had here, and that's saying a lot since I had a lot of great food. While I was allowed to cook the rest of the cuts of meat on my own, this one was specially prepared by a restaurant worker since the meat had to be cooked and prepared in a certain way to maximize the flavor experience. The meat, when dipped in the raw egg yolk was pure bliss. Fried Rice: It came out sizzling hot in a stone bowl. The fried rice was okay, but absolutely necessary for the meal. A lot of the meats were very fatty. The fried rice did a bang up job soaking up the oiliness of the meats when consumed together. U.S. Kobe Boneless Short-rib, US Kobe Chuck Flap, and Miso Skirt Steak: These were all home runs. They were tender, fatty, and incredibly tasty. My favorite of this trio was the short rib since it was the most marbled of the bunch. Garlic Edamame: I've had my share of edamame in my life, prepared in a variety of different ways. I used to like how a restaurant called Backhouse in the Santa Monica area used to serve their garlic edamame. It was my favorite edamame around. Sadly, that establishment no longer exists. This restaurant's edamame reminded me of the Backhouse edamame. It was perfectly warm and flavored. Simply outstanding. For dessert, they let you select from a list of options. I had macha ice cream, as that is my favorite flavor of ice cream at a Japanese restaurant. It was very creamy and not overly sweet. Best part was the ice cream bowl was chilled. Kept the ice cream cold. It was the perfect way to end a fantastic dining experience.

    Very good quality. The motsunabe broth was so delicious we ate all the cabbage even though I'm…read moreusually not into veggies lol. Meat was very soft and yummy and the takana tofu surprised me bc i never had it elsewhere. The meat is unseasoned so u will have to use the sauce and the salt. The wasabi is also not the packaged wasabi! Server was also very kind! I dont see a lot of reviews online so this place is definitely a hidden gem :)

    The food here is exceptionally high quality, and the entire restaurant is clean and…read morewell-maintained. While they seemed a bit understaffed during my visit;the friendly manager was definitely keeping busy, and my server was on her very first day; it's great to see they are actively bringing on more help. I ordered the premium Wagyu and pork belly, along with a few vegetable dishes, and everything was delicious. They also feature a fantastic beverage selection, including great draft beer, wine, and shochu options. Would recommend with groups, it has some great large portion options but it was fine if a bit pricey for a solo venture.

    What a fun and cute restaurant! I remember coming here years ago when it was Salt Creek Grille…read more This restaurant is on the casual side. It has a pretty big menu where you definitely have to enjoy BBQ food. The drinks are good and the atmosphere is a lot of fun. They have axe throwing and plenty of arcade games. This is a perfect place to bring your kids and a wonderful spot to sit at the bar, watch the game, and have a few drinks. I don't particularly love BBQ food but I did like what I ordered. My bartender and server was named Elise and she was fabulous. I asked her lots of questions about the restaurant and she was happy to answer them. I also want to add how big this space is. This is not a small restaurant and there is plenty of seating everywhere. I think it's a perfect place if you want to come with a group of people.

    It was my first time recently to checking out Sauced BBQ and Spirits, although I've actually been…read moreto this location before when it was Salt Creek Grille. While the two restaurants have completely different vibes and flavors, Sauced is definitely a fun addition to the space and offers a different kind of dining experience. This spot is a BBQ restaurant, sports bar and games/entertainment all in one. They have an outdoor shuffle board and they even offer axe throwing here! It definitely has a fun game vibe. Food wise, I was impressed with several of their dishes. My favorite was their Swamp Fries. These are their version of loaded fries. It is waffle fries tossed in their house rub bbq, drizzled with chipotle lime ranch and topped with poblano queso, chives smoky baked beans and chopped brisket. I loved the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. I also enjoyed their Smoked Wings tossed in bbq sauce, their Chips with Poblano Queso and their Buffalo Cauliflower. Everything was packed with flavor and so good. It was definitely an indulgent meal. Overall, Sauced is a fun spot with good food, a lovely atmosphere, and plenty to enjoy. I'd definitely love to come back to try more of their menu!
