Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu on Bayview

During our shopping trip this past weekend to restock supplies at Costco, my wife, baby, and I were considering having dim sum at our favorite restaurant in the area. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that my wife's favorite tofu restaurant, Buk Chang Dong Soon Tofu, was also located in the same plaza!

This Korean restaurant stands out from others in a unique way. The food is good, but there was not enough waitstaff. The two waiters were rushing around to serve customers. It would be beneficial for them to hire more waitstaff or streamline the meal serving process. Despite this, I will definitely return.

Be warn!! Stay away from this newly opened Buk Chong Dong Soon Tofu Korean Restaurant next to The Emperor at Bayview/Blackmoor, Richmond Hill! Do not be deceived by the fact that the place is full on the weekend Food is...just plain LOUSY and BAD!! Sad thing is, it was recommended by a couple of my wife's Korean' friends! The seafood tofu soup I had this lunch time was easily the worst dish I have had this year! This was so pathetic and sad tasting, I could cry! Broth was one dimensional and beyond bland. The so called seafood' component comprised of two stingy and tiny, head-on cooked North Sea sweet shrimp. a bag of costing around one New Zealand mussel on the half shell and one oyster meat, the size of a dime! The rest was silken tofu, which, thankfully, was passable. At for this dish, plus a bowl of stone pot brown rice! I estimate cost wise... max?! Wow! great profit margin and huge rip-off! Side dishes were mediocre and run-of-the-mill. Bulgogi Beef was sad looking and way too sweet! Service was down right slow! Our food arrived, pile up on a trolley next to our table and getting cold, but no one bother to serve us! When time for our bill, our waiter apologized for not writing our order down and asked us what we had, since he claimed he was too busy! I was so tempted to tell him, just write down.. lousy food ! For a restaurant to succeed, great location, food and service are of utmost important. Unfortunately, based on the obscure location, lousy food and ultra-slow service, I doubt they will last long!
