Tradition and legacy is poured into every bowl at BCD Tofu.
The BCD story starts with Hee Sook Lee a first generation Korean immigrant who loved to cook and share with her family. Her mother-in-law owned a restaurant in “Bukchang Dong” (district in Korea, which BCD is named after), where Mrs. Lee gained early training in the Korean food industry. After immigrating to America, Mrs. Lee chose to focus on Soon Tofu among thousands of other Korean foods, due to its superb taste and health benefits. She had a vision to be successful in America, and built her dream one bowl at a time. Her legacy continues on everyday through the efforts of her hardworking staff who put in all her traditions and recipes into each meal served.
Starting from one location in Koreatown, Los Angeles in 1996, BCD now has over 11 branches which are all run individually with great care and dedication by Mrs. Lee’s family and her long time staff. Mrs. Lee’s years of perfection in her craft and secret recipes continue to be maintained as to her exact orders to this day. BCD was inspired by a passion to spread Korea’s wonderful cuisine around the world. With Mrs. Lee's vision, BCD continues to focus on its taste, health benefits, food quality and much more.
