For over 15 years, this U District mainstay has been a popular spot to indulge in soondubu jjigae, a spicy tofu stew. The fiery bowls are filled with a choice of beef, pork, seafood, dumplings, kimchi, and mixed vegetables, accompanied by rice and a selection of banchan. College students and full adults alike flock here for both the soup and other excellent dishes, such as kimchi fried rice and beef short ribs. This Lynnwood spot is one of the more popular places for bulgogi (marinated meat typically grilled with onions and peppers).

You can get the chicken without sauce, with a soy-garlic sauce, with sweet sauce, and gochujang sauce (yangnyeom). The one served at SBCD Millenia was pretty good and in a large portion as well. This is the kind of dish that has to be eaten with plain rice. The main course is usually the main attraction of a meal but for us the main course was the least interesting. This is not to say it is bad, rather the other dishes are so much more exciting. I think we should skip this and try other starters in the future.
Kimchi Special Menu
SBCD is famous for its soft tofu Soontofu that is made with mature white soybeans that are specially imported from Paju, South Korea which is close to Korea’s Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Sundubu (or s00ndubu) is tofu that’s not pressed, so it has a high water content and an extra silky, velvety texture. I always keep a package or two in the fridge, and whip up this bubbling pot of flavorful stew when I need to create something warm and comforting quickly. The BCD story starts with Hee Sook Lee a first generation Korean immigrant who loved to cook and share with her family.
Sodam Chicken
There’s an assortment of tofu stews to choose from ranging from pork, beef, dumplings and assorted which includes seafood in it. Scour the counter, cooler, and showcase for ever-changing treats like kimbap, korokke (croquettes) and kimchi; in-season you might even find a basket of persimmons served plain, perfect for snacking. Dinner service recently launched featuring the core lunch menu plus nightly specials such as spicy chicken wings. For other variations, check out Haemul sundubu jjigae (seafood soft tofu stew) and Deulkkae sundubu jjigae (soft tofu stew with perilla seeds) which is mild and vegan. It’s all in the details at LA Tofu House, a strip mall gem on the eastern end of Koreatown giving a certain three-letter soondubu spot a run for its money. The range was not as wide as some other Korean restaurants, but it was adequate for us.
We always like to have the seafood pancake at Korean restaurants. Prepared crisp on the surface but with bounciness inside together with a fair amount of seafood (mostly squid), it is a snack which goes well with any drink such as soju. The vibe at this Korean street food stop in Edmonds screams young, but the dishes will satisfy discriminating adults as well. An order of tteokboki is a filling guilty pleasure; the traditional is gochujang-forward, but well worth trying is rose, with cream added to cut the spice level.
Main Course – Bulgogi
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. Each of our dishes are influenced by our deep passion to serve you the absolute best that Korean cuisine has to offer. From soondubu to naengmyun, experience the taste of authentic Korean cuisine with every bite.

You can find mandu at many of the Korean restaurants in the Seattle area, but you’ll find a slew of different dumplings at Korean-Chinese MyungIn Dumplings in Federal Way. Bringing “Meat + Fire + Fermentation” to Capitol Hill, Meet Korean BBQ is one of the better places to enjoy Korean barbecue in the heart of Seattle. Various “Feasts” of Wagyu beef and Kurobuta pork come complete with banchan, corn cheese, ssam, egg souffle and Wagyu soybean stew. Diners can also order beef and pork plates a la carte, with steak tartare and seafood scallion pancakes available as starters.
Send us a tip by emailing As usual, this list is not ranked; it’s organized geographically. Mushrooms are a good substitute if you don’t like meat. If you start with vegan kimchi, you can even make the stew vegan.
Where to Get Knockout Korean Food in the Seattle Area
(There’s also a mala rose version that’s numbing and spicy.) And don’t overlook the “Street” toast, filled with ham, cheese, egg, cabbage, sugar and mayo on buttery, toasted brioche bread. Feel free to use beef, chicken, or seafood and switch out the pork. For best results, always use fully fermented kimchi to cook with. This sundubu (or soondubu) jjigae recipe is made with ripe kimchi and thinly sliced meat.
We decided on a bulgogi combo with beef soontofu ($32.90) and a Korean Seafood Pancake ($27.90). Now with a second location in Capitol Hill, Sodam Chicken (a fried chicken chain in Korea) is a standout among the many, many Korean fried chicken spots that have recently opened in Seattle. The batter is crispy, the chicken is well-flavored, and the bright kimchi is the perfect side to cut the grease. If you’re looking for something besides fried chicken, the kalbi is also well-executed.
Information in any blog post is correct as of date of publishing; please check with the restaurant/cafe for updated information. SBCD Millenia Walk is the largest SBCD Korean Tofu House outlet in Singapore. Despite the huge capacity this is a restaurant that fills up easily.
It’s a good place to try bibim naengmyeon, offering diners a spicy mass of buckwheat noodles with daikon kimchi, beef slices, Asian pear, and half of a hard-boiled egg. The haemul pajeon (seafood scallion pancake) is greener than most and good eating. And, yes, the kalbi and calamari are excellent as well. At this James Beard Award-nominated Fremont restaurant known for its meats, the must-order dish is short ribs with kimchi that’s forever been called “that” short rib steak. (The kalbi burger is also delicious.) But there are non-beefy options on the menu, including a delightful kombu-cured mackerel. The more casual sibling spot Revel also recently got a Fremont revival, and serves excellent dumplings, noodles, and rice bowls.
One of its specialties is ttukbaegi bulgogi, which comes with sliced rice cake, vegetables, and glass noodles cooked in beef rib broth, served in an earthenware pot. This and a generous serving of banchan make for a massive meal already; an additional order of mandu (Korean dumplings, steamed, grilled, or fried) will have diners feel like they’re feasting. This cozy Uptown restaurant serves up contemporary takes on classic dishes like yukhoe (beef tartare) and haemul pajeon (seafood pancake). But the Paju fried rice is the real showstopper with a smoked quail egg yolk centered on the squid ink-blackened, kimchi and bacon-enhanced rice. Enjoy a cool finish with a bingsu (shaved ice) dessert if available. In 2021, the restaurant was listed as one of the New York Times’ best restaurants in America.
