BCD Tofu House

I finally got to try BCD Tofu House after craving their viral spicy raw marinated crab for over two years — and it did not disappoint! The crab was spicy and sweet with a great texture. It wasn’t exactly what I expected flavor-wise, and personally I wish it were just a bit saltier, but once I added a little soy sauce dipping sauce with rice and seaweed… it healed every little part of me that had been craving this dish for so long. I ordered the Spicy Crab Combo with the Soon Kimchi Beef Tofu, and it was AMAZING. The tofu soup was perfectly spicy, comforting, and packed with flavor. The combo came with a whole variety of banchan sides — all delicious except for the squid, which just wasn’t my favorite. My husband got the LA Galbi, and WOW. It was incredibly tender, juicy, and cooked perfectly. He normally does not like Korean BBQ or Korean food at all, but even he said this was the best quality Korean meal he’s ever had. That alone says everything! Our server was wonderful — super friendly, attentive, and she gave great recommendations. We drove one full hour just to try this place, and it was absolutely worth it. After eating, we even explored the nearby Asian stores, which made the whole trip even better. We will definitely be coming back. Best Korean food experience we’ve had so far! 🙌🇰🇷🔥

This is my second visit to this restaurant. On a cold day, this place is the best. We ordered the C5, S3, and A3. The server brought out a bunch of little side dishes. Then the soup came. The soup was still bubbling. (It was still boiling, in the bowl.) Then the main dish came out. We cracked the egg into the rice, then added the veggies. (On the first visit we got the 'medium' spice level. On this visit we got the 'spicy' spice level.) The food was great. Spicy but flavorful. And fresh off the fire hot. Be careful because the food is hot.

First time here. So to start off, I like how their menus are on the paper placemats. Definitely better than touching those nasty plastic menus they have at other places. I ordered the hot stone beef bibimbap. If you like your food to be very very hot during the entire time that you’re eating your meal, then this is the dish for you. I got it for the experience, but I wish that I got the regular one, since it took me longer to eat it. It also had a small amount of beef, which I felt was a bit stingy. I’ve been to other places that are more generous with that. The sides were pretty good, so overall the meal was ok. My boyfriend got the spicy pork bulgogi, which had good flavor. The sides he got were also pretty good. Overall, it was a good Korean place.

I grew up in Korea, and it’s honestly hard to find truly authentic Korean food with good side dishes and consistently great flavors, but BCD Tofu House really delivers. If you want real Korean food, this is the place to go. Everything is good, even the banchan. I highly recommend the combo with galbi and tofu soup. It is a lot of food and, in my opinion, better than AYCE BBQ. The galbi is nicely charred and full of flavor, and the tofu soup comes out boiling hot. The rice is served in a traditional stone pot. Pro Tip: ask for hot water at the end to pour on the leftover scorched rice to make sungnyung — toasted rice water. It is the perfect way to finish the meal!

Love this authentic Korean tofu pot house! This place can be very busy at times. Fortunately we didn’t have to wait for our weekday lunch. The service was adequate. And the food is amazing. We ordered 2 “Soon Tofu” and a plate of galbi. We fully enjoy everything. Although we do think the galbi isn’t cheap. But it tasted so good. We also enjoyed all the small dishes they provided.

March 2025 The first Korean restaurant as soon as we came back from spring break. Tired and exhausted after much traveling this arrived 8 ish in the evening. Simply delighted and craved for some hot soup and comfort food. Unfortunately, not very attentive service and wanted us to close our check early since we are approaching closing time. Frankly, we don’t want to add burden to the exhausted servers. Not a good situation, we were exhausted from traveling and the servers were tired from a long day of work. Regardless, at least make an effort to refill our side dishes before we requested. My rating as 5 is very satisfied Taste 5/5 the great tasty food recovered the quality of the service. Courteous and Attentiveness 2/5 Cleanliness 4/5 Temperature 5/5 Will I revisit? Yes. Will i recommend? Come for the food. Don’t expect to have a WOW service.

Came here for the first time as my wife recommended here! We ordered vegetarian tofu soup and combo set of bibimpap and tofu soup! They were sooo delicious!!! All the side dishes were great as well! Rice 🍚 was also great with the perfect texture! So happy that we came here despite 15 mins of waiting! Worth the waits! Come and enjoy the taste of Texas Korean foods! :) Cheers 🥂

Went on a Saturday during lunch time. Was crowded so has to wait but not that long probably 15 mins. Ordered the galbi combo and was very disappointed because why did it only come with like 6 pieces of meat. Also got the spicy pork and it was not spicy at all and was kinda sweet. I don't know if that's just my tastebuds not liking sweet food and preferring my spicy pork to be on the saltier side but who knows. Also go the bibimbap with beef and there was barely any meat. They give you side dishes and rice with each entree you order and most are your basic side dishes you'd usually get at a Korean restaurant. The only thing I noticed is different from other places is that they give a small fried fish here. In addition to the fried fish as a side dish the way they serve the rice here is different from most places I've been to too. The rice is cooked and served in like the stone bowls or whatever they're called which is cool. Good place to try but probably won't be coming back.

I've come here countless times over the years I've grown up in the Dallas area, so I can definitely say that this place is consistent and always fills my stomach up. Their beef and pork soups are my favorite. I love their sides, especially their radish and cucumbers. I also appreciate that their sides give each person a fish, which isn't the default at most other sundubu places I've been to around here. I highly recommend their raw marinated crab, but you also can't go wrong with any of their soups, which have adjustable spice levels. Service has always been consistent with no extra frills, keeping it an efficient spot in a prime dining location.

What is not to love about this place. I always get the combo with soft tofu soup and beef kalbi. They also bring you rice in a hot stone pot and sides of kimchi, pickled cucumbers, broccoli and fish cake. Service is always fast so you won't have to wait for your food very long.

Great restaurant for Tofu soup. Their ban chan is delicious and their portions are a good size (and refillable!) The broth is not as flavorful as expected but the tofu itself is soft and a good consistency. The service is great and restaurant is clean. Will definitely come back to try more of the food dishes

During weekends, expect it to be bust even in the afternoons. This restaurant is fantastic. Food is great and service is impeccable, no wonder they are doing well! I love that you can do combo meals with an entree with soup. The tofu soups truly are delicious. What made this meal amazing was the seafood pancake. It was crispy and incredibly flavorful. I highly recommend it! I was unaware that my entire bipbimbop was going to the ice cold and you mix hot rice into it but again I'm not a Korean food expert so please get the hot stone bipbimbop if you want a hot dish. The downside to the restaurant is the parking lot is packed. Pray you get a parking spot because you'll be looking for a while. I look forward to coming back!

There is lots of seating here and service is quick. They give you a good amount of banchan, but the best is definitely the cucumbers. The kimchi soondubu jjigae was yummy and came out super hot. It also comes with a rice and egg!

Almost 5 stars but only 4 stars this visit. My family enjoys this place. Prompt service and great families. I didn't want soup today so decided to get stir fried squid. Plump pieces of squid and fresh veggies in a sweet and spicy sauce. Udon serving was tiny and overcooked. Not a bad dish overall. It was great with rice.

Servers were very attentive. Bonchan came out quickly and we were expecting the fried fish to be included, so we could've split one dish vs ordering two separate dishes. Our pork bulgogi came with a side of a tofu soup of your choice as well. We had plenty for leftovers the next day! Parking can get busy on the weekends so I would recommend just finding a spot and walking. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes!

I had forgotten how much I like this place. It's not AYCE but it's very filling. I like that they offer smaller portion combos that you can choose a meat entree with bubbling hot soup. They don't give you a bunch of banchon but the ones they give are really tasty. Place is very large with plenty of space for large groups. It gets busy during dinner so go early if you don't want to wait. Enjoy!

Finding a Korean spot that I don't like is a challenge, but this place absolutely deserves every one of its five stars! Just kidding--but seriously, everything here is delicious. We came with a big party of over ten people, and this place handled our large group effortlessly. So, if you have a big family or a bunch of friends, this spot is perfect for accommodating everyone. Their menu is a Korena Food lover's dream, offering various types of tofu soup. I don't usually get tripe tofu soup, so I decided to go for it along with some Galbi, scallion pancake, and a few other mouthwatering dishes. Every bite was a delight! I absolutely love this place. If you're on the hunt for a fantastic Korean dining experience that can cater to both small and large groups, look no further.

Absolutely delicious! The bowls and hot and taste amazing, with great sides. Great is available in both English and Korean.

My all time favorite place in DFW metroplex. I will always come here and always eat their seafood pancake, hot stone bibimbap, bbq bulgogi and oyster tofu soup. Yum!

Our favorite place to eat Soon Tofu! They were so quick to bring out the food and seat us. We were the fifth group in line but we got seated in less than 30 minutes. The value for their combo meals is very good. You can get any entree with any soon tofu soup. Of course, all the Korean side dishes are included.

My go to order at BCD is always waterbased kimchi soondubu but this was my first time at the Dallas location. I found the seasoning they used to be overpowering and masked the natural flavors of the kimchi, and so it was missing the sourness I typically like in my kimchi soups. I'm visiting from NYC and I enjoy the NYC location much more.

Food was authentic for my taste! Very fast and good customer services. Raw crab was very fresh!

BCD Tofu House is my favorite spot for some Korean comfort food. They offer a variety of combo dishes that includes an entree and a soup. The best soup to get is the kimchi pork tofu soup. It's THE best kimchi soup I've had in DFW and nothing even comes close. Their bibimbap hot stone comes out scalding hot and the stone pot allows the rice to have crispy bits at the bottom. The vegetables are always so fresh and vibrant. Also get the seafood pancake as an appetizer! This pancake is super crispy and filled with seafood in each bite. The mackerel here is seasoned very lightly so you can taste the buttery soft meat of the fish. Service is always fast despite how busy they are. And the restaurant itself is very clean and uniquely decorated. 5/5

Consistently solid tofu soup with your classic banchan. I got the mixed soup which comes with beef, shrimp, and clams. Medium spice was truly a medium spice, but I would probably go spicy next time. Service is quick, welcoming, and attentive!! I'm sure the wait is crazy on the weekends when the entire plaza is really busy. We went on a Thursday night around 6PM, so there was no wait at all. There is parking arond the restaurant and throughout the plaza.

I could not be happier with my lunch at BCD ! I was visiting Dallas and was in search of the viral marinaded raw crab and BCD did not disappoint! The crab was all I could hope for. The crab was the perfect blend of spicy and savory, not too sweet. It was messy but worth the trouble. Not only was the crab great but I loved the other dishes we ordered as well. My lunch came with a soup option, I chose the combination which includes beef and seafood. It was so flavorful and had the perfect amount of tofu and protein. We also ordered the seafood pancake. It was the crispiest Korean pancake I've ever had! Lastly we had the galbi, it marinaded just right and I enjoyed the grilled flavor. Service was top notice. Our server gave us auntie vibes, she came over to ask if we were ok frequently and refilled our water. She was fantastic

Always love eating here. The food is amazing and honestly one of my favorite spots. Sunday after church lunch always hits here! Service is always good, fast service as well as very nice. Ambiance is fun as well, reminds me of Korea haha!

Solid food. Great combo deals (especially for lunch). Very quick service and the wait staff was attentive. Casual seating with wooden booths. Would definitely go back for casual dining

Love going to this place. The employees are always so nice. It's a pretty large open space. You'll find something u like on the menu.

I've visited this place a few times and compared it to the one in Plano. I'd rather drive a bit farther for Korean food than stay in Plano. I've dined there many times in California and love their soup and seafood pancakes. However, the Texas locations haven't quite matched the quality of the California one. I wish their food could be consistently good, but that's just my personal preference.

The restaurant is sizable and the servers are tentative. The banchan, soondubu, and everything else we got hit the spot!! We left so satisfied and full. I would definitely like to revisit this restaurant the next time I'm in the area.

Had dinner with a few friends on the weekend and really enjoyed it! We were able to choose our table, and the workers greeted us very nicely when we walked in! I got the bibimbap, which was very tasty and filling! Definitely one of my favorite bibimbaps I've had over the years. The side dishes also add extra flavor to your meal, and there were a ton of variety! The restaurant is great for groups of all sizes, and it's pretty quiet. The perfect and relaxing place to chat with friends and family! Parking is easy and free right outside too.

I would come here again for one thing. I arrived a little after 3 pm, which was a shame because they stopped serving their special lunch deals that run from 12 to 3 pm. Today, I got the seafood soon doobu jijae with a spicy spice level. To my surprise, it was so spicy that I didn't think I could drink the soup without really feeling the heat! The spice levels are accurate (I usually can handle spice). However, I only got two pieces of shrimp, which was slightly disappointing, but it's okay. The fish they served as an appetizer was good, and the service was quick. This place is pretty good for Korean food.

Service 5/5 Asked for things and was given in a timely manner despite busy weekend...so I am satisfied haha. Food Maybe I am an easy going Houstonian and haven't tasted great korean food who knows but wow I was surprised by the quality of the food! Raw marinated crab 4/5 Flavorful and umami. Spicy and sweet. Not my cup of tea but its not bad. Best eaten with rice! Seafood soup 4.5/5 *All soup comes with tofu and egg with request. I could taste the fresh soy from the tofu and that was delightful...nutty and springy for any tofu lover. Flavor of soup was not too salty and contained a decent amount of seafood such as clams and shrimp. Tokbokki 6/5 The best ricecake i have ever had in my life. The sauce was soo amazing I drizzled that sauce on every thing I ate and it was *heaven* . The sauce is savory and slightly sweet- such a balance of flavors my family wiped the dish clean! Seafood pancake 7/5 Seafood pancake (haemeul pajeon) The pancake was the best seafood pancake I have ever had in my life! It was springy and soft- a cross between mochi and a vietnamese crispy crepe (banh xeo). They provided sweet soy sauce dipping sauce for each individual which was convenient. The seafood tasted very fresh and we also wiped that dish CLEAN. Out total price came out to under $60 which I felt was very reasonably priced and I will most definitely come back again. Can get packed on weekends (I came on sunday) however we were a party of 3 and waited less than 1 minute so I was shook (in a good way).

This is a place that I low key come to atleast once a month. Right off George Bush tollway in the Korean shopping center. This is a pretty famous chain from Korea. If you like hot pot style soup and great tofu, you need to come try the spot!! They get you in and out, so it's a great quick spot for dinner or lunch.

Food was delicious and authentic! The only issue we had was the staff not refilling on our side dishes, but it's okay--might've been busy that day. I would definitely come back!

Was feeling down but as always, BCD's delicious hot soondoobu cheered me up. Visited Sunday at lunch, and it wasn't too busy, so we got seated almost immediately. The servers were really nice, and I got to talk with one of them for some advice haha. I got the pork bulgogi combo with beef soondoobu while my friend got the bulgogi combo with the beef soondoobu. The bulgogi's were both pretty good. Soondoobu was killer as always, and I always get this combo when I visit. BCD never disappoints, and I'll definitely be back in the future.

Update: All of my family members are running to the bathroom because of food poisoning. This confirms the ingredients not being fresh. When I was here about two months ago--it was one of the best experiences ever. The tofu soup was flawless, the bbq had perfect seasoning and even the marinated crab was generously portioned and tasty. Today, all three of these items were terrible--the soup was too spicy and salty, crab had a disturbing odor (like it wasn't fresh), and the bbq smelled like pure wine like they're trying to cover up the bad smell of the meat. I'm not even sure it was fully cooked. The fried fish smelled weird too--like the fish was old. Even the RICE smelled bad. What happened BCD?!!! New chef? New owner? Very disappointed.

This place gets PACKED! Go early so you can actually find a parking space lol. i'm used to eating at the one in NYC korea town, open til 4am lmao. fours stars bc its not bad! bonus that it has some vegetarian options for our friends that don't eat meat. cho dang village is just better. i'm sorry. bcd isn't bad, cdv is just better, and parking is easier on that side of the street. soup is solid, ddukbogi is okay in my opinion and the scallion pancake is standard. banchan doesn't majorly stand out to me either. i only really went to bcd in nyc bc it opened til 4am, but since this location isn't the same i unfortunately won't really be returning unless i'm super craving sundubu and cdv is a 4 hour wait lol!

We beat the lunch rush today and wow, does this place get packed on a Sunday! My wife and I both ordered tofu soups, which were both pretty good. We thought the side dishes were just ok compared to other Korean restaurants unfortunately. One more thing, we saw giant roach crawling around in the middle of the room and that was pretty gross. Hopefully they can do something about that. Other than that, the service was prompt and friendly. I do think there are better options around that are slightly cheaper.

This place serves amazing Korean food. It is a large restaurant but this area is also really popular, so you may have to wait a while. On my visit there started us with a great variety of bon chon appetizers. My favorite was the kimchi, the seasoned sprouts, and the cucumber. The broccoli was the only one I had that was bland. They also sent out a fried fish for each of us. It was delicious but had many little bones inside. For my main course I had the tofu hot stone dish medium spicy and the tofu and vegetable soup. I asked for this to be prepared spicy and they came through! It was perfectly cooked and satisfying. I was so full that I couldn't eat it all. The service and price were fine and I would certainly recommend this place to others.

The quality of their service has significantly dropped. Servers are rude, inattentive, and making mistakes. The last two times we've come here, they've forgotten parts of our orders, not bringing eggs for the soup, making no apologies for their mistakes. There was attitude from the servers throughout our meal, and I have no interest in returning to this BCD location. We asked for two banchan to be refilled once, and the server acted like it was so egregious of us to still want food. They weren't even that busy. We came here frequently.. but why go to BCD when Cho Dang Village is across the street and so much better in food quality, taste, and service.

Came on a sunday night and lucky that my friends got the last table before a ton of people came in and the wait got to be pretty long. Have always wanted to spicy Marinated raw crab and finally did! Ordered quite a few dishes to enjoy with friends. One of the first highlights of our meal was the fried fish - part of the free appetizer. The fish is large and very crispy. For my entree, I always go for the LA galbi and spicy Tofu soup combo. It did not disappoint this time. Tried the spicy intestine Tofu soup and it was delicious. There's even more intestines that I could finish. They were a bit gamey for me, next time I'll stick with the seafood or assoerted. My Korean friend also recommended the soybean one that has beef and clams. Pretty quick service as always and will come back soon!

The portions are considerably smaller than the location in Irvine, where I used to live. Food was hot and good but for what the bill was didn't really match the portion still left hungry. It looks more than what there really was on the plate. There was only 4 1/2 pieces of Galbi on that plate and next to no onions underneath. My wife wanted more bean sprouts and a refill on water that and server never came and checked on us.

I felt like the portion was great for the price! Everything we ordered was good & had good flavor! I wanted to try the spicy marinated raw crab & for $24 it was a pretty big plate. This is a great place to grab some classic Korean food like bulgogi, galbi, tofu soup, etc! It was pretty busy but the service was quick.

Great service here! We came during lunch so we got the combo. I personally think the spicy pork bulgogi was better tasting than the galbi and came out a lot quicker. It was a nice environment to eat lunch at with natural lighting. A friend recommended us to eat here. Glad we tried it. The sides were all tasty. The clay pot kept the tofu soup nice and hot throughout our meal. I'd come back but pass on the galbi.

Came for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and it was BUSY, so do be prepared for that. Parking can be difficult despite the huge parking lot. Once you enter the restaurant, you write your name and party number on the list & you wait for them to call your name when they have a table ready for you. I specifically came to this restaurant for the raw marinated crabs. I've been seeing them all over TikTok and needed to try them! I opted for the lunch combo which included the raw marinated crabs and a side of tofu stew. BOTH WERE AMAZING and it was super affordable (~$21). My mom ordered the spicy squid entree and she really enjoyed it as well. I opted for the assorted tofu stew which comes with a variety of meat, veggies, and seafood. It also comes with an egg that you crack into the stew. The banchan's were yummy. I love eating the fish cakes and kimchi! OK THE CRABS. I honestly did not know what to expect, but man, it's been almost a week since I've been here and I am STILL drooling about it. The sauce is super flavorful & I chose a medium spice. I asked for gloves to keep my hands clean. You can easily squeeze the meat out. I got a side of nori sheets, added a little rice, squeezed some crab, added a little more sauce, and let me tell you-- the PERFECT bite. It was spicy, umami, and this buttery soft texture that melts in your mouth. The service was fantastic, even considering how busy they are. They have a system that works, and the food came out fairly quick. I will absolutely be returning to Dallas for these!

The place is very plain and casual when you first walk in. Very busy, people just come in and out. It's not really big. You get greeted by like 2 people, which makes me feel welcome. First impressions are important, I guess. The table has a paper menu that is like a dish mat. The price isn't bad at all. Got a lot of good combo meal deals. They have the raw marinated korean crab that I was excited to try!! There was a combo for it, and I got a kimchi soon tofu soup! My kid has the Bibimbop hotstone with regular soup, and my sis got the spicy pork bugolgi and spicy seafood soon tofu. It always comes with Banchan for each meal. The soup was super delicious!! I haven't had one taste this good for a while. They give you raw egg to put in the boiling soup when it comes out. The crabs were different. I never had raw crabs, but it was good. Spicy and Tangy flavor that marinated the meat. You get a side rice in a hotstone, very fancy. I think everyone enjoys the food. For a good lunch or dinner grab, it's a good deal here. The food and service are excellent!

We love this restaurant and go there every month. Food is always fresh and delicious. Even the steamed rice is amazing. Hot and tasty. We leaving feeling full and satisfied every time. The waitstaff stand by to make sure we are serviced properly. They bend over backwards to get what we want.

Best tofu soup in town! Food is always good. The raw crab has delicious spices, it's hard to eat it so it's not my thing.

The soups at here at BCD tofu house is so good! However the last time we visited here there was a limited menu and unfortunately the dishes I was looking for to show my guests were not there. Although on the pricy side for lunch, the taste is always good. The side dishes this time were also lacking. I was looking forward to getting just a refill for one of them but was given very little, not a bad thing just a note.

4.5 STARS.5 I love this place, so I'm biased af. I fell in love with this place when I was in Irvine, CA and I was so excited to try this location in Texas! They roll up with so many side dishes!! I honestly have never seen fish as a side dish from any other Korean restaurant I've eaten at here in the states. We tried their summer special of the cold buckwheat noodles, my mom and dad's obsession. It was hot in Texas and this cooled them down! They also ordered the spicy raw marinated crab (which we tried for the first time) and they ate it up!! They said the sauce was spicy and delicious, same marinade as the raw marinated squid side dish! My siblings and I are fans of the combos that consists of a protein, soup, and rice. We ordered the galbi, beef bulgogi and pork bulgogi and they were all so delicious and portioned just enough to not make you pop your belts! I ordered the OG tofu soup with my combo and let me tell you, I LOVE THE SOUP. I'm not a fan of tofu but this soup right here?! I ATE ALL OF IT. It's so soft and gives such a nice texture to the soup. I'm craving it right now! We also ordered the seafood pancake and tteokbukki (as if we didn't have enough) and let me tell you, they even hit good!! I took away 0.5 stars because of the service. DONT GET ME WRONG COS THEY WERE NICE BUT ONCE THEY SERVE YOU YOUR ORDERS THEY DIP!! They're not very good at coming back if you need something lol. OH AND they give you raw eggs to put in the soup to cook! Super fun and delicious!

Excellent top quality Korean food. Pork bulgogi, soup, and tteokboki were all 10/10. Place can get pretty crowded on the weekends

First time here and didn't disappoint. The services was so quick and we got seated on a Saturday night. It was a full house. Service: like I said, they are quick! Food: we ordered the short ribs with the tofu soup and the raw marinated crabs. The best part of the meal was the tofu soup. It was so creamy and such an amazing umami flavor. I'd get it again. The ribs were good, just like you'd find at a kbbq. The raw marinated crabs: it was good at first. The flavor is there but I couldn't eat more than 6 pieces. After awhile, it just tastes like marinade. I want to like it but I probably won't be ordering it again.

Very popular place so the wait is quite a bit long. ~40 minutes. Love how they present the rice in a special stone bowl that keeps the rice hot till the end. Tofu spicy seafood and LA Gabi is my favorite. Good experience after all.

Food is always amazing and the service is friendly. My Korean husband and I drive all the way from Roanoke for this!

Came on a weekday night for tofu soup, and received great service (probably because they weren't crazy busy). The mild spicy, tofu soup was good this time and the galbi was flavorful! No complaints this time!

I LOVE TOFU SOUP. BCD was no exception. I loved that they gave the rice in a hot stone bowl as well, since you can eat it at the end with a nice crunch. A few years ago, they also gave a yakult with the check, but they didn't when I went in December. However, the price for the soondubu comes with a lot of great side dishes, so it's still a pretty solid deal. Medium spice was just right. I tried the tteokbokki as well, but honestly wasn't impressed. It was pricey for how little they gave, and the taste was sweeter than I anticipated.
