Chungdam Korean Fusion

Lovely food at pretty good prices. Service there is always timely and well mannered. Dolsot bibimbap is good, tteokbokki, bulgogi, ribs, japchae, and pretty much everything else I've tasted has been good to amazing.

We had family come in from out of town, so went to get a lunch together. 4 adults, 2 teens, and 3 small children. I know that’s kind of a bigger group, but the moment we walked in, the waiter shamed us by giving us a talk about how we must make a reservation for a group like this because they get really busy at that time, even though there were several open tables. I understand that being the only server, everything can take longer and it’s a lot of work. We had no complaint about the wait. But even though he tried to be somewhat friendly and joke around, when we asked for another set of side dishes(because he only brought 1 set for 9 of us), he told us we will need to pay for the set if we didn’t finish them all. And he ended up not bringing it to us anyways. I don’t think the restaurant lacking employees should give them the right to tell us what we can request and what can’t. Again, we weren’t complaining about the wait at all.

This place was such a treat!! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes perfect for sharing or for anyone with a bigger appetite. The Korean lady serving us was honestly the sweetest, she was the perfect mix of attentive and unobtrusive—she made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Definitely appreciate that when you're catching up with friends!

The seasonal naengmyon (cold noodle soup) totally hit the spot—especially with a little extra vinegar and mustard. We also got the bulgogi and pa jeon, and both were packed with flavor. Even the side dishes were so good we didn’t leave a single bite! Can’t wait to come back! :)

I wait for 15 minutes and no server takes care of me.

I got the dolsot bibimbap and the denjang-jjigae (soybean paste stew). The beef bibimbap had almost no beef in it so it was mostly rice and vegetable. The stew was extremely salty. On top of that, the wait time for the food was half an hour and the restaurant was not that busy. On the bright side, the server was extremely nice.

Today’s dining experience was very disappointing.

We sat down earlier, but waited 30 minutes without anyone taking our order, and nearly 40 minutes just to get water. Meanwhile, another table that arrived about 10 minutes after us was served first, got their food quickly, and finished their meal before we even got our food.

I understand the restaurant was busy, but the service order was completely disorganized, making us feel ignored and undervalued. I hope the restaurant can treat every customer fairly and improve their service efficiency.

Honestly came here because of thekoreanmama but wow that cold noodle soup was delicious as was the seafood pancake. The only downside was the parking in this plaza was very bad.

This place was a real gem! The food was so delicious and was such a great quantity for the price! The staff was so friendly and helpful! Will be coming back here! Got the hot pot and was way more than enough for 2 people, easily could’ve fed 3. The hot pot had so much food and variety! And the LA Gabi and it was flavor and tender! Highly recommend!

We hadn’t been out for Korean in a while and after a great meal with excellent service here we’ll be coming back. We had the grilled Mackerel (traditional, on the recommendation of our waiter) which was perfectly filleted and grilled. Also enjoyed the traditional starchy and sweet/spicy rice cakes Tteokbokki. And above all the banchan (side dishes) were fantastic. And our truly awesome and knowledgeable waiter (who is also one of the chefs) said they rotate the banchan depending on what vegetables they can source from their Korean provider. We’ll be back!

Seats are uncomfortable. If you're not comfortable, how can you enjoy the meal? Online menu needs photos or else people don't know what to order! Food appears good, but none of my clients could order ahead online, so this meal was too tedious. This place needs alot of improvement before I will EVER return with my family, friends or clients.
