BCD Tofu House is a famous chain Korean restaurant originated from Korea. It serves authentic Korean tofu soup in a stone bowl, and serves many other Korean dishes as well. BCD Tofu House is so famous that it even go its own tofu brand that it sells in super market. The BCD Tofu House restaurant that we went to this time is located in Irvine. This place is usually packed with people lining up even before the restaurant opens. We went there for dinner around 5pm so there wasn't many people and we got a table right away.
The tofu soup is obviously that main dish that it servers at the restaurant. We ordered short rib and Bulgogi, and to our surprise it also came with different flavors of tofu soup that we can choose from. We chose a seafood tofu soup and a kimchi tofu soup. After we placed our order, we were served with a big selection of side dishes. The side dishes included kimchi, fish cake, mashed potato, sea weed, eggs, and even a tail of fish for each person! We were really hungry and finished the side dishes very fast. To our surprise, a cart came by to refill all the side dishes and we just realized that there were many carts roaming around to make sure all the served side dishes are refilled.
After about 10 minutes, our main dishes came. The bubbling tofu soup never smelled so good before. The tofu was so fresh with lot of flavors. It even says the tofu served here is organic. The short ribs were amazing too with lots of flavors. When Bulgogi came, it was a mountain of Bulgogi beef. We were kind of already getting full from all these refilled side dishes and could not finish off the Bulgogi and had to pack it home.
Overall, this is an amazing restaurant and by far the best Korean restaurant we have ever been to. The price is not expensive either. For $21, you get a mountain full of bulgogi beef, a bowl of tofu soup, a bowl of rice, and unlimited amount of side dishes. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is into Korean food!
