    Checked out the food hall and wanted to try their tofu soup. I got a mushroom and a beef dumpling tofu soup. Both were just okay but a tad over salted for my taste. The beef was pretty chewy. Both came with rice and a small plate of banchan.

    Took a hot minute to wait in line to order and get food on a busy Sat for lunch but worth it. Tasty beef tofu soup and pork bulgogi and the combo comes with a surprising amount of sides - a small fried fish, some banchan, a bowl of white rice, and a pack of seaweed. Tofu soup hot and tasty, pork bulgogi was very soft and flavorful. Eat the fried fish while it's hot. Regular spicy wasn't really that spicy, will turn up the heat next time.

    Mediocre at best soft tofu (soon doo boo) soup. Was served lukewarm when it should be boiling hot. Had to ask them to reboil since there was an uncooked raw egg with egg shell in it. First taste was overly salty that had to add water. The shrimp in the soup is not fresh. Added side of pork bulgogi, which was also lukewarm and had pork gaminess to it. You are better off at other local Korean restaurants that have average soft tofu soup but are at least better than this place. This place is popular because it's close proximity to the new H Mart. Basically a new store opening tourist trap to avoid.

    The galbi and bulgogi were good. I've had better. Both were on the pricey side. The thing to note about eating at this food court is that you need to return the tray and dishware back to the vendor you bought it from. This wouldn't be a big deal except that when it's busy (which it frequently is) you'll likely be sitting outside and will need to bring everything back to the vendor and try to find space for your tray on a cart near the counter. The cart will likely be full and you may find yourself having to bend low to try to load your tray on a lower shelf. The staff won't help you.

    Visited Cho Dang Tofu & BBQ for the first time and it was very busy over the weekend--waited over 30 minutes for the food. I ordered the #34 Bibimbap, which had a nice, well-balanced flavor overall. I'd recommend asking for an extra container of gochujang sauce--it really takes the dish to another level.

    #15 Soft Tofu (with beef short rib upgrade) + Galbi.

    Tofu soup is regular with little add-ons. Long waiting time and very overpriced. I guess you can easily find other options nearby.

It used to be you can only join where you come near the restaurant. It must be only for busy days like Mother's Day? There was a sheet offering specials for Mother's Day, cocktails, mocktails, a kurobuta pork belly and 2 desserts. We ordered our usual fare. Great service by Ariel, she handled everything as a pro, even with the crazy business. Food came out with no delay. The only change that we noticed id the teriyaki beef. The rib eye was usually so tender and juicy, everybody that we invited here were amazed how tender and great they were. Yes, we came here quite often, and brought every and all out of town guests here. But today they were tough, on the dry side, even though cooked Rare and MediumRare. All 3 steaks. So disappointed. We finished with the Biscoff cookie sundae, which they had for Valentine, a tempura fried ice cream dessert with crumbles of Biscoff cookies and caramel drizzles. So good. The room was busy with laughter and guests enjoying the food and company on this holiday.

    Food: Everything we ordered was generous in portion and…read moreworth the price. The sushi rolls were large and filling. The fried oysters were also a great size and came with two dipping sauces, which was a nice touch. The maze ramen was a big portion and even my toddler enjoyed it. The standout for me was the tempura ice cream--perfectly crisp with a thin, light shell. Service: Our server was friendly, efficient, and very accommodating. However, the host experience was frustrating. The Yelp waitlist wasn't working on a busy Friday night, which seemed to cause some disorganization. We were quoted a 25-minute wait for a party of three, but ended up waiting 45 minutes. During that time, multiple parties of three who arrived after us were seated first. When I checked in at 35 minutes, I was told we were "next," but that didn't seem to reflect what was happening. At 45 minutes, after checking again and explaining how long we'd been waiting, we were seated immediately. It was confusing and especially difficult with a hungry toddler. Parking: Parking can be tricky. The restaurant is located under an apartment complex with limited guest spots on the first floor of the garage. If it's full, you'll have to exit and find street parking (which is minimal) or park across Dublin Blvd and walk. Overall: This was close to a perfect experience. The food and server were great, but the disorganized wait and host interaction took away from it. Hopefully they improve their system for busy nights, especially if the Yelp waitlist goes down again.

If I remember correctly, we had a reservation and arrived early as well. They sat us down once we were all there since there was no wait. My partner and I opted for the classic set which had 2 soup bases, 3 meats, 3 sides, 2 rice/noodle, and a veggie platter. I opted for the Yuzu Shio, while my partner got the Sukiyaki. I loved my broth! Again the meats, despite being from their most basic set meats was so good. You can definitely tell the difference in quality. I was scared this wasn't gonna be enough, but it was plenty! We were so full by the end. Again, I totally get the Mumu hot pot hype. I will be back LOL

The wait on a Friday night was a bit longer than expected than what was shown when we first joined the waitlist. Service here is fast though! We did get seated by the kitchen, so it was a bit hectic with staff constantly rushing behind us. We got the premium set and the meat quality was great. The vegetable platter that came with the set had a nice variety of fresh veggies. We ordered udon noodles but what we got was broken up pieces of frozen noodles that looked only to be half a serving. Other than that we still enjoyed our meal and were both stuffed. Personally I'd choose the Emeryville location over this one just because it's bigger and you're not sharing a table with other guests as much.

I have always had fond memories of this place, even with it being constantly packed and busy, and with limited seating. I finally had the chance to revisit recently, and brought my husband along. We went on a Sunday, so it was inevitably packed. The parking lot is as crusty as I remember, but that's part of what makes no-frills, hole-in-the-wall restaurants solid. The ambiance inside is loud and cramped, but we were here for the food. Service was decent, all the servers were so busy taking care of everyone, I can only imagine the chaos in the kitchen. And hands down did the food deliver. The price of everything was reasonable, and the flavors were delicious. I went with the dduk bulgogi while my husband went with the mixed soondubu (medium spicy). The banchan variety was splendid, and honestly I couldn't choose a favorite. I loved the creamy potato and corn mixture, since that was unique. Sometimes restaurants skimp on banchan portions, but not here. My dduk bulgogi was packed with veggies, rice cakes, tender beef, and glass noodles. The broth had a good depth of flavor, and was not oily or rich. My husband's mixed soondubu was also delightful. I had a quick sip of his broth and it had a lovely umami flavor. The spice level was perfect. We did both wonder, however, why his bowl didn't come out bubbling while mine did. Regardless, it was still steaming hot. Both portions of soup were served with rice, and we thoroughly enjoyed taking our time savoring each bite. I dumped the remainder of my rice into the broth at the very end and that was the perfect way to end our meal. We are almost never in Hayward, since we generally frequent other parts of the bay, but I would definitely return and try some other dishes next time. Everyone always orders the seafood pancake (and a ton of people were when we went and it looked so good). Of course if I had enough stomach space, I would have ordered that too. Well that just means I have to go back, haha. All in all, don't let the location or exterior fool you. The food is solid and The Sister House is definitely one of my favorite Korean spots in the bay.
