Always come with an empty stomach! All the food is worth getting if you want to venture out of the tofu soup.
Raquel GCMarch 14, 2017I hate tofu so much that you cannot imagine how sceptical i was of this place ... however i must admit it blew my mind! Try the bbq squid
Michael GoiteinJanuary 22, 2015You just need one item from the menu, preferably Tofu Seafood Soup. Clean, delicious & well-prepared.
Garry TanOctober 18, 2016If you don't like spicy food you can still get mild tofu stew and it's truly delicious.
Christina SongMay 24, 2013Dumpling soondubu is delicious. Firm and meaty dumpling with a flavorful jjigae. Nice so see that quality hasn't changed.
Love the fried Corona banchan. Piping hot soondubu. Great service and lunchtime specials
Drew TabuJuly 31, 2015In the summer heat, go for nengmyun or bi bim nengmyun -- cold mung bean noodles -- that are so refreshing.
Lester ChanDecember 26, 2013Quick service and the Jap Chae is awesome! Look the heat inside during winter! Saw other tips that it is 24H too
This is my safe place in Ktown. It is always there for me, never judging, always forgiving (not talking about the lighting, unfortunately)
Jeffery ZouOctober 12, 2013Spicy is the way to go. Bite the bullet and at least get 1-pepper level, or you'll miss out on a lot.
Danielle BoudreauSeptember 15, 2019Loved this place! Agreed about the vegetarian tofu soup. You won’t leave hungry.
Ru LuFebruary 22, 2015I like the fact that it comes with that entire fish as an appetizer for free! Gets crowded tho.
hugo liuMay 26, 2013On soondubu spiciness here: 'regular' is white spicy, 'hot' is korean spicy, and 'danger' is mala hot pot spicy.
ZrinkaMarch 22, 2019Be prepared for LOTS of delicious food! Tofu is homemade and tastes really good.
Jenny JeongJanuary 9, 2023I highly recommend it to Koreans. It's more delicious than soft tofu stew in Korea.
Seafood soondubu is the best 👍 I also like the LA Galbi. Always eat that when I was in LA..
Magdalena MadeleineApril 28, 2016Amazing food! Very spicy, authentic taste. <3 I really recommend it!
Dana MelaverFebruary 25, 2015Doubt it's vegan, but everything was really good. Very fast and convenient. Nice beer as well!
Favorite in Korea town. Large portions, good quality, good service.
Ben RAugust 6, 2014You are only here for soondubu. There is better in Bergen County but BCD has the best on 32nd St by far.
Andrew ChoiJanuary 19, 2014Best 순두부 I've tried. Used to frequent their location in Queens when I was younger.
Antonio LuizOctober 21, 2016Really nice, bug portions, the restaurant was a little bit to hot inside
Sit down place for spicy tofu soup and rice! Comes with appetizers.
If you want to avoid the crazy rush, go off peak hours! Usually after 9:30
All about the Soondubo (spicy tofu soup) and Naengmyeon (cold noodles). Don't order something else.
Calvin MultanenOctober 10, 2015A little pricey but definitely worth the money and the wait. Great service
Jap chae with tofu isn't vegetarian by default; you'll need to ask for it without beef as well.
vivienne au-yangJanuary 4, 2015never disappoint. mixed soondobu gives you the best of both beef and seafood tofu sweetness
Jessica WJuly 30, 2015Best place, hands down, for Korean food. Always end up so stuffed after leaving
Marie La RueDecember 7, 2019Spacious room. Service was fast. Flavours were sort of bland and dishes were forgettable. Not too sure what the hype is about, there are several better options in the neighbourhood.- The soondubu jjigae here is still the best I've had in New York.

"Try green tea iced flakes (bingsoo or shaved ice). Comes with mochi, strawberries, grapes, mango and vanilla ice cream on top and sweet red beans below fruits. Easy to share two or even three people"
