“If you're craving authentic Korean flavors, this restaurant delivers a genuine experience that truly transports you to the heart of Korea. From the moment you step in, you know this place isn't catering to a typical Americanized palate. The menu is thoughtfully curated with traditional dishes that reflect the diversity and depth of Korean cuisine.

One of the standout features of my visit to Cho Dang Tofu was the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and made to feel incredibly welcome. The servers were attentive without being intrusive, always ready to offer recommendations and answer questions about the menu. They really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, and their knowledge of the dishes and ingredients was impressive.

What truly set the staff apart was their genuine enthusiasm for the food and the culture. They were eager to share the story behind some of the dishes, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. It was clear they take great pride in their work and are committed to providing excellent service. Every interaction was courteous and thoughtful, which really enhanced the overall experience.

It’s not often you come across such a well-coordinated and friendly team, and it made our visit to Cho Dang Tofu that much more memorable. The staff truly adds to the charm of the place, and I can't wait to return.

This is as close as you can get to eating in Korea without boarding a flight – a must-try for any Korean food enthusiast.“

“It was my partner and I first time there and everything was amazing really nice people great service they would check up on us on how we were doing or if we need anything the food was well seasoned there is nothing bad to say about this place it’s just perfect and amazing we will be back here again I would recommend this place to my friends and family“

“Whoever said in the reviews that this is the best Korean fried chicken place around was absolutely right. Our last fav has unexpectedly closed and while this is further, it's definitely worth the drive. We got the plain chicken and the honey garlic chicken. We also got a cheese dog and a seafood green onion pancake. Everything was soooooo so good. I had never had a cheese dog before but I am now a convert. The seafood pancake was perfect, crispy and not oily. Now the chicken, OMG even the plain was delicious, crispy, and NOT SWIMMING IN GREASE. As a testament to the food quality, we often have horrible bloat and some GI upset after eating fried chicken due to the grease (even at our favorite place it was a regular occurrence) but that did not happen here. Not only that, the chicken kept well and was still good 2 days later.“

“This is authentic Korean food. Extremely different tasting in some ways. Very fishy 🐟 🤔
If your not sure, then stick to the chicken. Jack in the box is on the corner... The place is packed with Koreans eating there all the time.“
