KarenJanuary 6, 2018The tofu soups here are just TOP NOTCH. Lots of choices to choose from, but the best is beef.
Michael GoiteinJanuary 22, 2015You just need one item from the menu, preferably Tofu Seafood Soup. Clean, delicious & well-prepared.
Tim LeeOctober 13, 2016Make sure you check out the dinner specials get a smaller size tofu soup plus full size entree for only a couple $$ more.
Christina SongMay 24, 2013Dumpling soondubu is delicious. Firm and meaty dumpling with a flavorful jjigae. Nice so see that quality hasn't changed.
This is my safe place in Ktown. It is always there for me, never judging, always forgiving (not talking about the lighting, unfortunately)
Garry TanOctober 18, 2016If you don't like spicy food you can still get mild tofu stew and it's truly delicious.
Dana MelaverFebruary 25, 2015Doubt it's vegan, but everything was really good. Very fast and convenient. Nice beer as well!
Lil KingyJuly 29, 2016The 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.
Love the fried Corona banchan. Piping hot soondubu. Great service and lunchtime specials
Seafood soondubu is the best 👍 I also like the LA Galbi. Always eat that when I was in LA..
Jenny JeongJanuary 9, 2023I highly recommend it to Koreans. It's more delicious than soft tofu stew in Korea.
Drew TabuJuly 31, 2015In the summer heat, go for nengmyun or bi bim nengmyun -- cold mung bean noodles -- that are so refreshing.
Favorite in Korea town. Large portions, good quality, good service.
Magdalena MadeleineApril 28, 2016Amazing food! Very spicy, authentic taste. <3 I really recommend it!
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
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.
Calvin MultanenOctober 10, 2015A little pricey but definitely worth the money and the wait. Great service
hugo liuMay 26, 2013On soondubu spiciness here: 'regular' is white spicy, 'hot' is korean spicy, and 'danger' is mala hot pot spicy.
- Danielle BoudreauSeptember 15, 2019Loved this place! Agreed about the vegetarian tofu soup. You won’t leave hungry.
vivienne au-yangJanuary 4, 2015never disappoint. mixed soondobu gives you the best of both beef and seafood tofu sweetness
ZrinkaMarch 22, 2019Be prepared for LOTS of delicious food! Tofu is homemade and tastes really good.
Jessica WJuly 30, 2015Best place, hands down, for Korean food. Always end up so stuffed after leaving
Ru LuFebruary 22, 2015I like the fact that it comes with that entire fish as an appetizer for free! Gets crowded tho.
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.
- The soondubu jjigae here is still the best I've had in New York.
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- Mark PollardSeptember 27, 2016Kimchi soondoboo. Repeat after me, "Kimchi soondoboo." (Yes, you have an accent too)
All about the Soondubo (spicy tofu soup) and Naengmyeon (cold noodles). Don't order something else.
