BCD Tofu House
About
BCD Tofu House is a soft tofu stew chain that started in LA in 1996; this Wilshire Blvd location in K-Town is open 24 hours. Pick your stew and spice level, from none to extra hot, and sets come with a fried fish and banchan; pour water into the stone-pot rice crust for a scorched-rice soup.
