Highly rated for a reason. Yummy varied menu and excellent value for the money. Family oriented business and friendly service. Not a fancy place, but pleasant. There are lots of those with less flavor.

We were craving for Korean Kimchi soup and bbq. I found Bon Tofu as one of those with good ratings and closest to where we were at. The food was okay; I have tried couple of Korean places around Orange County and I can say their Seafood tofu soup is not too bad but not the best. Their beef short ribs was good as well. However, I liked their chicken better.
The issue for us at that time was the service. There was only one lady taking the orders and at the same time serving them. It was not a good idea coming with a hungry stomach. We had to wait for them to complete orders of one group in the other table before they can take our order.
Please improve your service, and plus the sides were served at a later time. They might be short staffed on that day but over all, the food was not so bad. I give it 6/10.

I'm probably never going back to BCD. No MSG, more flavorful, where has this place been all my life?
I have an MSG/glutamate intolerance so I would have an almost immediate reaction after eating. But this is my second time eating here in two days and no reaction. I confirmed it with the daughter of the owners today. No MSG used. The food and side dishes feel like mom/grandma made them. Full of flavor without MSG, what is this magic? The bulgolgi tastes like caramelized kalbi. Amazing. Each of the side dishes have so much flavor maturation.
The beer is priced the same as most happy hours elsewhere.
What we ordered:
Soon Tofu soup + bulgolgi combo with kimchi beef tofu soup. They give you a small salad to start. The side dishes include kimchi, kimchi cucumber, Korean potato salad (with cucumbers and apples), fish cake, broccoli/or spinach tofu, and marinated bean sprouts. Every single item was flavorful and delicious.
I feel satisfied, nourished, and happy eating here. Such a hidden family-owned gem. Support small business y'all.

Delicious authentic bibimbap and tofu soup! 🤤
Everything we and our friends ordered were delicious! Here’s what we ordered:
Soon tofu and hot stone bibimbap (Menu No. 11) - it was enough for two of us and an appetizer Japchae (Menu No. 26). Highly recommend those if you are a couple that want to share. The combo quantity is half of the main dish but almost 2/3 quantity. The combo is really worth it if you want to try the best dishes for less money but more food!
Our friends ordered also Korean noodles, short rib pork, and other chicken and beef dishes. They all loved it, and they were so flavorful and delicious.
真好吃!

This place has great food and combos! We always get their tofu soup! My favorite is the beef one. Everything we tried here so far has been good from their tofu soup, galbi, bibimbap bowls, fried chicken, bulgogi! They have great sides that they always come by and refill . The staff here is very nice. Only thing is that sometimes the wait can be long to get a table (waiting for it to be cleaned) or just place an order. We understand it's possible they can get busy. We still love the food and come back! :)
