Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu

One of the best value meal sets in koreatown. You can get a solid meal with main, rice and banchan for around $15. The gamjatang was quite good (bones weren’t the best but not bad for the price)

Sorry for the late review. Fellow parents with kids will understand the delay, but I have something important to share about our experience. On October 1st, 2024, my family and I had a very disappointing experience at Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu. My wife, parents, and I arrived at the restaurant around 3 PM with our 5-month-old baby in a car seat. The restaurant was nearly empty at the time, as shown in the photo I took, and we requested a corner table to have more space for the car seat. To our shock, the male waiter rudely refused our request and insisted that we sit at a smaller table for four, despite there being several empty tables for six available. We kindly explained that we needed the extra space for the baby and also to order more dishes, but he was adamant and showed no willingness to accommodate us. This was particularly disheartening because my wife has fond memories of dining here during her college years a decade ago. We used to be regular customers and cherished our experiences here. However, after this incident, we will never return. The staff’s lack of empathy and unwillingness to accommodate a family with a small baby is unacceptable. The weather was very windy that day, and after being refused a suitable table, we had to carry the heavy car seat with our baby to find another place to eat. Fortunately, we went to the "Korea House Restaurant" nearby at 666 Bloor St, and they were very kind, offering us a big table where we had a great time. Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu is clearly overrated. Let's not eat here in the future and instead try the one at the next corner! This restaurant has no regard for its customers, especially those with young children. I strongly do not recommend Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu. There is no warmth or hospitality here for families with little ones.

A great Korean soft tofu soup in clay pot with clay pot rice! I know, lots of clay pot here😃 it was packed on a Wednesday night even before 7:30pm and had to wait for 10mintes for a table. They got the system down it seems and things moving pretty fast despite business. Food was eight on spot with 4-5 spicy level, so no worries if you can’t handle too much spicy food. Some requests might be slow or ignored due to lack of servers it seems. But overall they are doing a good job

If you’re looking for a great home-style Korean restaurant, Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu is a fantastic choice. Their soon tofu soup truly shines as the star of the menu. We visited as a group of three and ordered two soon tofu soups and a pork bone soup, which was more than enough for all of us. Though the soon tofu bowls seemed small, they were packed with flavor and surprisingly filling. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors!!😆

We picked an order from table cooking menu and forgot the name of it but it takes good and enough portion for 2 people. Nice customer services as well. FYI, they only take cash and debit card. But there is an ATM machine inside so it’s all good. Highly recommend when ppl come to koreatown at Bloor st 🫶🏻👍🏻

I’ve never tried tofu soup before. My friend brought some home and it was soooo good!!! It felt refreshing, not too sour, and warmed the soul. I’m a big fan of this place! Great job!

One of my favorite go to places for korean food in Toronto! They’re popular for their tofu stew and it really warms you up, best suited for the cold weather in the winter/fall. The stew comes with a raw egg which is good to mix rice with too or put it in the hot stew. I’ve been here multiple times with friends as well as alone, and will continue coming here in the future! Their side dishes are also good and refreshing - especially their kimchi and bean sprouts! Pretty authentic place and I feel like I’m in korea whenever i’m in the restaurant.

Great experience. My favorite dish is number 16 (Kimchi Fried Rice with Chicken). Great service, attentive and short waiting time after ordering.
