Tofu soup is great. I tried the mixed tofu soup and I love it. Spicy lover must try danger spicy and people who want mild spicy should order standards the rib is good too. Seafood pancake is not bad.

Come after midnight and you can literally split an entire galbi/kalbi meal with soondubu and hella banchan for around $12 between 2 people. Best, probably yummiest late night deal in NYC ❤️

If you're Korean and like marinated crabs, try their spicy crabs here! Really bang for your buck and tasty! They cut it up into easy pieces so you don't have to get your hands dirty as much.

Excellent jap chae, definitely worth a try. If you're a vegetarian, don't be surprised by the fish they bring out, just tell them you don't eat it. Overall good option as a solo diner. Quick service.

Serves great Korean food. Really yummy soft tofu soup (soondubu) in Koreatown. Nice side dishes and fish. I like the mushroom tofu soup. Gets very busy during peak hours, so be prepared to wait.

Inexpensive and filling spread of high quality Korean eats. The hot pot of fresh tofu with kimchi is amazing. Plus it comes with several delicious sides (and free refills).

Be prepared to wait. But, delish food on a cold wintery night. Got the mixed seafood and beef soondubu! Lots of food, could feed two peeps! Also, I got it regular spice and it was hot enough!

Very good food. They have a brunch of nice lunch sets. Loved the Beef and the chicken. Tofu soup was also very good

Very tasty & reasonably priced K food. Grilled Galbi & spicy pork (cooked in kitchen) were ESP good. On hot days, it gets steamy in here! AC isn't great here. Ban chan are a little lackluster

The tofu is very good. Crack the egg into the stew as soon as it’s brought to you, boiling.
Magdalena MadeleineJuly 10, 2015
Very good organic tofu. u'll find plenty of vegetarian dishes. It is possible to customize possitios from menu if i have any diet restrictions. Great place to eat lunch/dinner with friends or familly
MicheleJuly 23, 2015
Come with a few friends and order a bunch of food to all try. I'd recommend the Soondubu (tofu soup), Spicy Pork Bulgogi, and Bulgogi (rib eye) - all of the dishes were delicious and so flavorful
Pam ☕️ OJune 21, 2015
Get the Kimchi sondoobu tofu soup with bulgogi & mushrooms ($2 extra). Bulgogi portions look big enough to feed two. Avoid coming with a group unless you want to wait at least 45 minutes.
Tim DengAugust 18, 2018
Love BCD. Tofu bowls are really quite good
Lay HiangDecember 26, 2013
Soondubu (tofu soup) is so great! U can opt with or without meat in ur soup. Personal opinion, I'll opt without. After all, what they are good for, tofu right? Just haf a simple soup to taste the tofu
Michelle WendyJanuary 2, 2014
In all my years coming here just recently found out no meal here is 100% veg in spite of seeming it (made w/ fish sauce or chicken stock). You can put in the request with your server to make it so.
Nate HendersonSeptember 28, 2015
You're here for the soondubu, but other stuff like like japchae is great too!

I love this place! The appetizers are amazing. They give you a whole fish! Usually I order the seafood pancake, tofu soup, and kalbi. I love it here. The servers are nice and friendly.

When you crave squid, their marinated squid (E4) delivers

the soondubu jjigae (spicy tofu stew) is excellent, as are the banchan (side dishes). if you're feeling adventurous, get the spicy raw crab. it's really great with a cold beer.
AlexJune 24, 2016
Dank af . night special is great. I got the ribs which came with tofu soup, rice, little kimchi things, an egg, and fried fish. So good. I'll definitely be back ;)
Caroline DengMay 25, 2017
Great lunch specials! Love the mixed meat and seafood Tofu or the kimchi Tofu bowl with spicy pork bulgogi.
Michelle WilesMarch 12, 2017
Veggie soontofu is so comforting on a cold day. +They give you a free fried fish to start
Tru DyMarch 20, 2022
Galbi was delicious! The banchan was good, although the kimchi was little, too fresh and not fermented. I loved the japchae & ttekboki shares plates!

Awesome banchan here includes a free fried fish per person! Dumpling soondubu also has beef in it! Best deal especially if you want to try their dumps.
Sander IwaseNovember 12, 2015
Had the kimchi soup! Mild spiciness!!! Good and exotic! Looots of food for 11,99! Good place in Korea Town
Sue EllenNovember 11, 2017
Great portions for lunch soup all for $13. Try the beef soon soup really good especially on a cold day
AditiFebruary 27, 2018
Soondubu with kimchi is amazing. I did danger level and it’s very manageable. Kimchi here is AMAZING and before you can ask for@more it’s replaced.
Alex RobertsonNovember 26, 2019
The lunch specials are expensive as hell but it's a ton of food? The galbi lunch special seemed even better than those at the more highly touted Kang Ho Dong and Jongro...

favorite korean restaurant in Ktown -- love their kimchee soondubu.
Mike HopkinsFebruary 2, 2015
LISTEN: Eat the little fish. Crack the egg in your soup as soon as you get it. The appetizers are free - if you like it, ask for more.
Asha TranApril 21, 2017
Soondubu is the signature dish, definitely! But the bibimbap is super good too! Generous banchan!

Great spicy tofu soup. Loved the variety of veggies. Quick service. Meat menu also good.
Cuppy CakeJanuary 30, 2015
One of my favorite Korean restaurant they served more appetizer like the fried fish so good, kinda crowded dome time its worth waiting.
Nora ThajudeenMarch 13, 2018
Absolutely loved the jong uh bibimbap and the tteokbeokki! The jap chae was also good! Vegetarian options were incredible too!
Nauman NoorDecember 26, 2018
Place is large, so wait times are short even when the queue seems overwhelming. Service is fast and they do the food justice. Most of clientele is Chinese.
William HeldAugust 22, 2018
Delicious Tofu Stew and amazing refills on the banchan. Skip the lunch combo as the stew is really filling on it's own
FionaMarch 17, 2015
Attentive, proactive service and good food. Get here early to put your name down and duck into the Koreatown shops while you wait!
Kim PhamJanuary 2, 2015
Spicy pork belly is delicious and fatty and wonderful.
Cam_in_BrisOctober 31, 2022
Very generous banchan. Tofu soups are filling and tasty. Efficient service. Open late. A winner in K-Town.

They have really good soft tofu soup. If you come to the place late at night, they give you a side order of egg casserole for free!!!!!
Tim LeeOctober 13, 2016
Make sure you check out the dinner specials get a smaller size tofu soup plus full size entree for only a couple $$ more.

One of my go-to places for Korean tofu stews (soodubu jjigae). The side dishes here feature a fried mackerel.
Julia KaplanNovember 12, 2017
Open 24 hours. Order the seafood pancake (large one to share) and seafood tofu stew. Doesn't get better than that.
KarenJanuary 6, 2018
The tofu soups here are just TOP NOTCH. Lots of choices to choose from, but the best is beef.
💎TAugust 27, 2015
the galbi is so good here ! The mixed seafood tofu soup is my favorite. It's very affordable for lunch.

Soft tofu dishes are all good- and the pork belly was juicy and tender. Yum!
Lil KingyJuly 29, 2016
The lunch special menu is great value here (available weekdays 7am - 3pm). Get the L1 (beef short ribs)!

While their "danger" spice level isn't as fiery as one would assume, BCD serves up a respectable soondubu, complete with an egg and a variety of banchan.
