BCD Tofu is a pretty popular Korean restaurant chain all over the world. I've been to the ones in K-Town, and here in Reseda numerous times (the one I'm reviewing right now). If you want some soontofu that's pretty authentic in the Valley, then this restaurant is probably your best bet. It sticks just about close to the formula of tasty, real Korean soul food dining. Any of the tofu orders (whether regular to seafood to beef) you'll be pretty satisfied. Their BBQ short ribs are also surprisingly good too. Very tasty, crisp and good texture. And of course, the post-meal porridge rice in the stone pot is another highlight too. Although bland at first, you eventually get used to it and rather enjoy it, especially when eaten with kimchee.
The only reason I gave this place a 4 star is that the LA locations are a little bit better than the Reseda location in terms of taste and presentation. For certain, the panchan selections in Reseda don't match the K-Town ones because it's a bit watered down. But still, it's good enough to supplement the entire main course.
If you haven't already tried this tofu house, do so. In the valley, good Korean restaurants are pretty hard to find. But BCD can always be a stable backup choice. Other than that, the service here is respectable and the atmosphere...
Read moreThis is a great place for Korean Food. If you don't have the appetite for an "all you can eat bbq", then come here. This restaurant is a franchise that can be found in South Korea. Not Knowing this or knowing this could be beneficial. If you are a foodie like me, then you will know that if this restaurant has a location in South Korea, the food must be awesome. The menu is huge and there are many things to choose from. You can order ala carte or with a combo. Usually people will order with a combo b/c it comes with a soup called soon tofu. The soon tofu is a tofu soup that makes this dining establishment so famous. Whichever dish you may order, note that all dishes will come with banchan (side dishes). The side dish that excites me the most is the kim chi (fermented napa cabbage). BCD Tofu House Kim Chi is the best. If you are a greenhorn coming to eat here, I would suggest bulgogi (beef), or galbi (beef rib). If you want something a bit more spicy and love seafood, order the spicy raw crab. As to drink, I usually order hot tea and that's...
Read moreFood is good but if you can I would go somewhere else. The ladies who work here are super rude. I know there is a language barrier but picking up food here is a hard. The only nice employee I spoke to was a Hispanic woman who was attending to the guests sitting down and trying to help with take out. I used Uber eats for a pick up and the Asian lady gave me so much attitude and refused to give me my order at first because the order screen did not have my name on it. I had to have another customer help explain that the pick up was for me, and that I was not a delivery worker. She refused to apologize for being rude and walked away and said "I'm busy" and didn't even hand me my food. 2 stars because the food is good, but the experience is not worth it...
