Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu

By far the best Buk Chang Dong place compared to other ones in Vancouver and GTA. Their side dishes taste better than those offered by one at Bloor or North York. If you like Soon Tofu, this may be the best Korean restaurant in Mississauga!

The quantity is good and price is better lolll
The taste of food is awesome! Really love the rice they have!

I love this place! The menu is simple, the price is good, the stew is comfort food at it’s best. The simple options leave little to think about. Group favorite include the kimchi stew, the bulgogi, and the squid and pork. The stews are cooked to a nice thick boiling consistency that tantalize the senses. The flavors explode with each bite. I enjoy this especially on cold nights and winter day. The only thing is service is a bit slow, and at times, the vibe aren’t all that welcoming. The shop is quint but the plaza is stupid busy. I would recommend this place and its subsidiary branches. Come with friends, family, or date… always nice to get some stew.

I was suprise that they didnt have gamjatang. Hence, the score of 3. Food was just good. I’m actually looking forward to try the squid. Will comeback and update the review later on.

I’ve loved this restaurant in Toronto’s koreantown since I was in my university years. And it expanded to North York and Mississauga. It’s obviously doing well with about 10 dishes to choose from. They specialize in tofu soup with purple rice in a very hot stone bowl.
Happy: I’m happy to indulge in 4 small dishes, and my favourite is the spicy sweet radish one. They used to have it with another type of root veggie that was chewy and to die for. The soon tofu is always bubbling hot, so is the rice. A perfect meal when it’s freezing outside. Your tummy will love you!
Not happy: The bulgogi dish needs more veggies and could be a bit bigger. The orange décor can be modernized. Sometimes, the staff don’t really speak English.
Verdict: I love Korean food and this one is one of my favourite! The price is great too! Back then, $ 10 is all you need for a meal, taxes and tip in. It’s a bit higher now that it is 2015, but all is good. I’ve returned so many times. Tried all three locations too!

Outstanding.
THE FOOD
I had the squid and pork. The chili paste was just thick enough to coat all side of each morsel.
THE SERVICE
Very friendly and super courteous.
THE ATMOSPHERE
Smallish, cheerfully appointed. Bathroom could use a makeover.

I have always like this restaurant. I have been coming here for a long time now but forget to write them a review. I think this location is pretty small compared to the other ones. Regardless the food is still amazing. For the price, its ridiculously good. I salivate thinking about this place. As a typical Korean restaurant, they start with around 3 – 4 appetizers. They serve their soon tofu with a side of rice in a stone pot. They put water in the pot for later at the end of your meal to soften to Rice. My wife loves that part. The mix of crispy and congee like leftovers. For some dishes but not all, they include a raw egg for u to crack into the soon tofu when it first comes out. What attracts me the most is the price. For this much food, and the food is great, the price is amazing. I have been coming forever and will continue to do so.

Amazing and at a price you can tip big. Service was not the best, but they stepped it up. I love number 8 all day. It’s marinated thinly sliced beef in a sweet, smokey broth. There are sliced carrots and other vegetables mixed too. They bring it out in a boiling stone pot and every main dish comes with Korean sides and rice. Small menu but every item is real good. Small strange place in mall, but always clean table and cutlery.

The food and price overall is amazing, but the parking and location was a bit bothering, it was a rainy day too so u had to park behind the building or to the side and walk a bit. The service was pretty good, there was no trouble, I forgot my jacket in the end and one of the workers came out to give it which I was grateful for so thanks to that :)

I’ve been to this place many times but I will not any further because… I’ve found a long black hair three separate occasions. Each time they replaced my meal but each time there was no apology. Once it was in a side dish with he fermented beans. Then one hair in my bi bim bap around the middle as you try to mix the ingredients. Lastly, one in my soon tofu. I know that a hair won’t kill me but it’s vile to experience and also shocking when they lack the courtesy to apologize. I told them after my first experience that the cooks need to wear a hair net which they didn’t have one. After the second time, I warned them that if I find one again, I’m never coming back. I’ve been to certain restaurants downtown hundreds of times and never a hair… 3X is just pure ignorance and negligence.

I’ve taken all my friends here and they’ve all loooved it!~ My favourite is the vegetable soon tofu. It’s very authentic and cheap. The staff are nice. The food is cheap, filling, yummy and healthy. I’ll keep coming back regularly.

Authentic, affordable, and most of all deliciousness!!! The parking is kind of weird because you have to either park on the side, or at the back of the building where theres no access into the restaurant. Once you know how to get in though, its not a bother. The menu is very simple, they only serve soon tofu soups (Seafood, Kimchi, Combination, Beef, Pork), Bulgogi Soup, Bibimbap, and Bulgogi. They’ve perfected these dishes, so I cant complain. I don’t recommend the seafood soon tofu as they dont put in enough «seafood», but the kimchi and combination are good. Lots of meat, and the broth perfected to your choice of spice level. I can’t forget to mention the main reason I return, PURPLE RICE aka black rice, Known to be the healthiest rice in the world, mostly due to the high level of antioxidents it has. Score! Healthy and delicious, you can’t go wrong!

Food:
This is my definition of cheap, delicious, comfort food. I come here often. I usually get #4 dumpling soft tofu, extra spicy. It usually comes with two dumplings, which doesn’t seem like a lot, but along with the side dishes and the bowl of purple rice, the whole meal really fills you up. There are five levels of spiciness. I get the hottest one, which isn’t spicy enough for me, but it’s still very good.
Atmosphere:
Nothing special. Typical Korean restaurant. Clean and simple, all I need in a regular restaurant.
Service:
Staff was polite and welcoming. They are quick at taking orders, and the meals come within 10 minutes. After you are done, you just go up to the counter to pay. My whole meal including tax and tip is just $ 10.

It’s really different experiment for us. Being vegetarians it was an adventure to go to Korean restaurant, but it was great. Food was good and the hot stone bowl were pretty awesome. The staff was corteous and we had good time.

Favourite place to come for cheap and good food. I come here very often. The menu is limited. I think there are only around 10 dishes on the menu. I have tried them all and the kimchi tofu soup is definitely my favourite. Their bibimbap is also very good.
Most of the dishes are below $ 10 which is a very good value as you also get the side dishes. Staff is friendly. The food come fairly fast.
Come and try this place. You will leave full and satisfied.

Bang for your buck!
Affordable, tasty, filling, and great service! You get all of these things at the great restaurant/​chain.
They only have 7 – 10 items listed on the menu so don’t come here if you’re looking for a variety. Although there are few items, these items are done WELL! All delicious from the soon tofu to the bulgogi to the bibimbap.
The service is always authentic and friendly, even when we ask for additional appetizers they never hesitate to provide. (The apps are my favourite part, they come with the meal).
The food is really delicious. This location carries to the purple rice (rice cooked with dates which makes them purple). They have different spice levels to accommodate different preferences and also offer vegetarian options as well. Most of the menu consists of soupy items but fear not there is also bulgogi, and bimbimbap as well.
Come here if you want a good meal that won’t break the bank!

It was my first time here at Buk Chang Soon Tofu. It was a first for me to eat a kimchi tofu dish, too. I ordered the been, pork, kimchi soup, number #3. It came with purple rice in stone pot, the condiments like cabbage kimchi, bean sprouts, radish, and some beans. One cup of hot tea came with the meal, of course. Came out to an even $ 9.
I didn’t even know where to eat the dish (i.e., eat inside the rice bowl or the kimchi soup bowl). I told the server about my silly lack of experience, and she chuckled but helped me at the same time. She actually cracked the egg for me and stirred it into the soup. It was still bubbling hot when the egg got added to the mix. Yummy! The sound is so much better than «snap crackle pop» from you-​know– what cereal.
I never cared about the presentation of the meal, when there’s no need for it. It was kimchi pot, and that’s what it looked like. I always thought that these dishes were spicy, well, from the kdrama, that’s what I thought. I read that some dishes can be greasy, but mine was not so. I will review again when the opportunity comes.
The décor is just right. Wooden chairs, utensils in wooden boxes, and I have no complaints. I didn’t use the washroom, so I cannot comment on that. I can say that sitting the closest to it, I did not have any qualms and got a whiff of anything bad.

SERVICE
Very good. Checking in with me enough where I was still enjoying meal.
FOOD
The quality is consistent to their other locations. Good! Favourite thing to order is the seafood tofu.
LOCATION
Convienent on the Main Street Hurontario.
Several parking and good location within a plaza.
OVERALL
Consistent and will return soon

I’m having second thoughts of this place being a «healthy» place to dine-​in at! Especially if you order Beef + Pork soon tofu, the broth can be greasy — mine was. And the pieces of pork that were in the broth were quite fatty as well.
In addition, the soon tofu was overly salty, whereas the bulgolgi dish was a bit too sweet. So take note of the additional salt/​sugar that can be added to these dishes.

Is a small restaurant in a small plaza north of dundas in hwy 10. About a dozen tables and 9 food items on their menu. They do the 9 items well though. One of the best places in mississauga for soon tofu. Different levels of spicy to choose from and protein choices.
Their extra spicy is perry good but lots of stomach burning after! Their soon tofu soups come with hot pot rices (the purple Multigrain kind), although sometimes they use the stone put and then put it in a bowl for you instead of serving it. I think they are short supplies for the busy times.
Sides dishes (banchan) are great and fresh. Always ask for more if you want ;)
Service is polite and straight forward. Water and utensils always at the table.
Solid!
