BCD Tofu House

Save Money:: Between the complimentary side dishes like kimchi and generious bowls of rice that come with each meal, you're probably fine just ordering one dish off the menu.
Look Good:: Many dishes can be prepared at varying levels of spicyness, with "not spicy" being the most mild, and "very spicy" at the peak of heat.
What to Drink:: There's no alcohol served or allowed in. You'll have to stick to soft drinks and water.

Very very good food here. And it's open late so you can get bomb food after a late night out. The Tofu soup is the best! and the bimbim bop!

Great after hours place to eat

by IACYOO

Not that I have perfect grammar, it's funny to see the little mistakes asian establishments try to make using the english language.

Great place to grab a bite to eat if you want somewhere to eat late at night or after bar hopping.......

There combination meals are great, and they lie about MSG..... I have a mild allergic reaction to MSG in large amounts and clearly state that I cannot have MSG " which is stated on there placemat", yet the dish contains MSG. They could have put it in the side dishes, but they really load it up. Look back in the kitchen and you will see a huge vat of magic white power.

Also, I ate there once and found a dead fly in my food. If you read their placemat, they promise to deliver a meal that is prepared with cleanliness.

Love it!

Pros: Good after hours place to drink
Cons: Grammatical error on placemat and questionable cleanliness
