It’s authentic Korean food place! People are nice and friendly. The place is pretty busy but they have big space so they don’t accept reservation. I went there on Saturday and it was very crowded but I only waited for 10minutes. They have some seats near entrance so you can wait there. They mainly have tofu but also have more authentic Korean dishes. It was delicious too. I recommend ??

Really enjoyed the food here. The only complaint is the AC was barely on and made it harder to enjoy the hot food. And the food stayed hot the whole time so we were sweating and eating. But the taste was worth it so I will only rank based on the food and service. The waiters smiled and were very pleasant despite the super visible sweat on their faces. I had the hot stone bulgogi which was a nice sweet flavor. Would like to try the skillet version next time that another table had. Three of us could not finish our food because of the portions with all the side dishes. I tried tofu only once before and the experience was bad but highly recommend this one.

Went with family for a weekend dinner, they use the buzzer waiting system and we have to wait for 30 minutes for a table. They had a small parking lot and we were lucky enough to get a spot. We ordered scallion pancake, and some tofu stew. The flavor of the food here is less intense than the one in the city I have to say. Their kimchi was really good, fried yellow choker was not freshly fried and was just like warm when served. Overall it’s the BCD Tofu House experience you usually get, again just less flavorful.

A good variety of unusually fresh and well prepared dishes, besides the signature sundubu, which is really superior.

Food is good, and the BCD chain comes with heavy creds in the Korean community but we rarely eat here because it's overpriced and the service sucks. Soondooboo, soft silken tofu stew, is a classic and very traditional korean dish. BCD offers a big variety of the soup, with choices ranging from standard spicy to super spicy, seafood, beef, pork, kimchi and even a milder miso and mushroom. They always give you a small fried fish with each entrée and this is, in my opinion the best part. But at the prices you pay, this is also hardly 'free'. Their other offerings are quite extensive as well : you can find LA Kalbi and Spicy Pork Stir-Fry skillets, Raw Marinated Crabs, Pancakes, Noodles, etc. 3 Stars JUST for the food is being generous on my part.

I really hope that BCD Tofu House expands and opens up in Boston it's just that good. I usually go to the one in K-town, but since I was visiting Flushing we went to this location. The inside was a lot bigger than I expected and it was nice that they have parking outside. The food was flavorful, but the service was slow. Con: They brought out our rice first and it took about 20 minutes for our soups to come out. I'm not too big of a fan of burnt rice, and I do like that they serve it in the hot stone pot.. but I should've asked them not to. I do think it's because our soups came so late after though. But when I asked the server if I can have a side of rice in a regular bowl he laughed at me and said that they're suppose to add tea afterwords to the pot? Idk I felt like he could've mentioned that earlier lol. Kinda rude, but I would go back lesson learned.

I really enjoy going to this place for Korean food especially with a group. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. Typically I enjoy getting the Saefood Pajeon ($14 for the smaller size which comes with 4 slices) to start. Next, I like to get one of the main dishes. Their tofu-based dishes are really nice. They come with a soup base shells with USDA grade tofu that has been chopped into different pieces. The tofu soup base is done mixed together with some other items such as beef or mushrooms. I enjoyed the beef tofu version of the dish the most. I have also tried the bulgogi beef which is pretty good but quite a lot for one person to consume. The main dish is around $16 for the tofu-based bowls which come with rice and anywhere from $18 onwards for other main dishes. For example, the bibimbap is $18 for the hot stone version of it while the Bulgogi is around $23. The tofu baseballs are the best because they are just the right amount for each person and the mixture of ingredients makes each bowl very flavorful but not overwhelming in taste. The service here is also really nice and staff are very hard-working. Overall a great place for Korean food that I recommend if one is in Queens or Manhattan as they have multiple branches.

Be sure to continue supporting AAPI businesses!!! My family enjoyed and stuffed their bellies here at BCD bayside! Very familiar with the midtown Ktown location but here, it's nice & wide with a parking lot. Same menu offerings, thrilled to find this location serves the combo all week long! (Midtown location is only offered during weekdays). We got pork & kimchi jigae, always on point! Ordered japchae, Ttoekbokki, seafood jeon, and the bulgogi combo with a medium stew. It was my kid's 2nd time having Korean food with a slightly spicy flavor and to my surprise, my kids loved it! They also enjoyed the banchans very much as well. So much that they asked to come back soon. lol Service was attentive and not overbearing. Got refills and checked in on us in a timely fashion. Overall a great experience, especially for my kids. #bcdtofuhouse #koreangoodeats #queens #yelplife

This place is always crowded, but the team of waiters/waitresses do check up on you and pour you an extra glass of water when needed, or you can ask for a refill on a particular side dish. You get decent side dishes that change every once in a while, the tofu is soft with just the right amount of spice so that you can taste it and not choke on it, and the stone pot rice goes nicely with the tofu.
We have been here a few times before COVID and this is first time after. Everything is same as I remembered. Justin, our wait staff, is efficient and courteous. The banchans were all tasty and Justin refilled it for us as soon as we are done. We both ordered the combo. I had the spicy pork with kimchi and tofu plus the mushroom soondubu. The stone pot rice came out first and it was perfect having the rice in my soondubu. The kimchi pork and tofu were beyond good. PACKED with flavor. Slight tangy, spicy (the delicious kind of spicy), savory, perfect with the rice.

A busy and always hopping soondubu place. Staff members are so friendly, and even though the place is super busy they respond to you right away. Food wise, it is a typical soondubu place- dishes are a bit too oily for my liking, but banchan are not. I wish they gave a good portion of banchan - we kept asking for more and felt a bit bad bothering them. Otherwise it is a great place especially for a large party.

The Soon Tofu is delicious here! Perfect for a cold winter day. The service and vibe is very welcoming. I love the waiting system - really neat! A well run establishment!

First time here. Fast service and good food. Love all the free food that you get. The fish cakes and whole fish that they give per person is so good. The soondobu taste great. Only complaint would be that I wish there was more ingredients inside. I got the pork one and there was nothing but tofu pork and the egg i added. Usually most places add a lil zucchini to it or some type of veggies. The spicy pork was pretty good and not overly spicy at all.

While I was visiting in NY, my wife and her family took me to many restaurants, and the food was fantastic. My wife says she visits this place frequently. The food is pretty authentic, and it tasted fresh. The food came out quickly, but it did not affect the taste. They are pretty known for their tofu pot dish, so I ordered one. And we also ordered some of the other popular Korean dishes like beef short rib and squids, but my personal favorite is the Korean pancakes. Most of the food is a little spicy, so if you like spicy food, this is it. I also tried the potstickers and enjoyed them very much. They also offer some side dishes with your meal. I have been to this place a few times while in NY, and I plan to be back again.
