Here is a picture of the banchan that we received with our meal. Banchan are like appetizers in Korea. From left to right: fish cakes with a few small red chilis, regular pickles, some kind of spicy pickled octopus or fish, kimchi, pickled broccoli, and potato salad. Overall, the banchan was tasty. I especially liked the pickled broccoli and kimchi. S, who is from Korea, said that the kimchi at BCD Tofu is one of the best kimchi that she has ever had, so the kimchi must be really good there.
With all of the Soondubu that we ordered, we were given a small fried fish and a cool and refreshing vinegary soup with some pieces of napa cabbage and cucumber. The fish was nice and tender with a nice crisp outside. The only thing that I can complain about is that the fish was so boney, but that's what you always get when you eat a fish like that.
MY got the Dolsot Bibimbap, which is one of his favorite dishes. He enjoyed it and commented that he likes how the hot stone bowl crisps up the rice on the bottom.
S, Mic, and I got different variations of the Soondubum, or tofu stew. I got the beef soondubu, pictured above. It comes with a bowl of rice, which was cooked in a stone bowl, and a bowl of fan diu, the crispy rice from the bottom of the pot mixed with some water. The soondubu was very delicious and came out piping hot, bubbling in its stone pot. It was a very enjoyable and warming meal, great on that cold evening.
Overall, it was a good meal. Everything was fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was comfortable and trendy.
