Parking is in the back. I've passed by this place many times on AZ Ave, finally got to try it out. It's very cozy inside, kind of like a tavern. I got the tofu kimchi soup. It was good! Paired well with the rice. It leans salty (FYI for your preference). The side dishes were really good. We ate everything. Service is very efficient. read more

Chodang - Kimchi Tofu Soup - Korean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Love this CLEAN (10/10) homey authentic Korean restaurant (Bathroom was even exceptionally clean). Loved walking in seeing Asians enjoying their food. The kimchi jjigae was the perfect comfort food. Very flavorful, soft tofu and the right amount of heat. They even served it with heukmi bap. We ordered several other sides to include Pajeon (cooked perfectly, not doughy like other restaurants) all were perfect and flavorful. Bonus was halmeoni, who was so sweet and welcoming. gamsahamnida! read more

It is always a shame to give a restaurant a poor review but sometimes a truly poor experience justifies it. First my family and I had to wait a bit to order food and the server seemed disgruntled that we wanted some tea instead water. Then after we ordered, we had to wait nearly 45 minutes for food. While I don't have an issue waiting that long, the server didn't bring any banchan till 30 minutes in. Since we were naturally hungry, we ate some and asked when our ordered rice would come. When the rice finally arrived with the rest of the food, we asked for a refill on side dishes and was told there would be a charge for it. Not only was this a surprise to me as a place has never charged me for refills, she also told us if we ordered just one dish, we could have gotten unlimited ones. This information was not disclosed to us at all during ordering and it seemed like the other tables got many refills so we had reason to suspect we could not as well. In terms of food, the dishes were fine, but it was hard to enjoy in lieu of the bad service. The final nail in the coffin though was handing us the bill almost immediately after giving us the food and like the rest of the meal said nothing to us. The friendly service provided to the other tables was a stark difference to our experience. Unfortunate that this was one of the few meals I enjoyed in town during my short time visiting family. A rare horrible dining experience. read more

Most authentic Korean food. My family and I have been coming here since we moved to AZ in the early 2000's. Best dish is the Spicy Stir Fry Squid. read more

This place is amazing! My husband and I love Korean food and we've been to places all over the valley. This one is our favorite. It's truly home cooked authentic Korean food. Best sides we've ever had. We are so lucky the owner and her Mom moved here and opened up Chodang! We've been here twice so far and we expect to come back often. It's the first time we ate every single morsel of every side!! Love it here. Try this place!! read more

I wanted some Korean food and we were some what close so decided to come here. I believe I came here many years ago but not 100%. Ordered yukgaejang, Seoul leong tang, and spicy pork bulgogi.. Well, my mom said this place is known for soup which I can agree. Both of the soup was yummy. Yukgaejang was nice and spicy and pretty decent amount of veggies and meat. Seoul leong tong was also pretty dang good. Nice harty broth. Side dishes were actually pretty darn good. Now for bulgogi was sub par. It wasn't bad but definitely not worth the money. This place was not quite 4 but closer to 4 then 3. Only other complain was that dishes price are on the high end. read more

I honestly don't know what happened to Chodang but we came here around 7 on a Friday night... And the restaurant was literally empty! I've never seen it this empty before.. The waiter also didn't know what "seafood" came in the mixed seafood tofu soup.. the only thing he could say was "it came in a pack.." after the food was served there was absolutely no follow up or anything and we were the only ones in there for a good 30-40 minutes before somebody else came in.. the food was okay but I don't think I'll make any effort to come back here again.. read more

I would like to preface this review by saying I am of Korean descent and originally from NYC which translates to the fact that I have had a lot of good Korean food. I can confidently say I have tried almost all of the Korean restaurants in the East Valley and Scottsdale areas and Chodang is by far the BEST! There may have been some misinformation that this location was closed but they are OPEN. The food is always consistently delicious and the owner is so welcoming each time my family and I go including when we went yesterday. When you're craving some authentic Korean food, check out this place. You'll be glad you did! read more

My daughter loves it here and every chance she gets wants to tag along with my wife to eat here! Good to the last drop! read more

What a hidden gem in Chandler!! The outside looks very unsuspecting and is nothing fancy, but once you step inside you'll know you're going to get some good Korean food. The owners were so friendly and fun to chat with. They moved from Seattle and started this restaurant 2ish years ago; and the mom makes everything from scratch!! I've always wanted to try neng myun and this was the perfect 110-degree day in AZ to do that! I brought a friend that had never had Korean food and we were both amazed at how good everything was. The neng myun was so flavorful, refreshing, and filling! The bibim neng myun had the perfect spice level for me (mild). All the banchan was fantastic. This is a Korean place you HAVE to try while you're in the area!! I will definitely be back to try more of the dishes when I'm in town!! read more

My husband and I have been coming to Chodang for a couple years now, and it is just our favorite homey Korean restaurant in Chandler. The food is delicious and comforting, just like my halmoni's, and comes out quick every time. The owners are so kind and attentive and are always able to accommodate our vegetarianism (they can do the dolsot bibimbap with tofu). (Make sure you park in the lot behind the restaurant, where there's plenty of spots, and it's much easier to get out.) Go check them out immediately! read more

I'm not just a foodie, I'm a tofu-die Oof, I hate updating a review but with new owners comes new flavors and these new flavors ain't it for me. I came for some mandoo soon dubu and a kimchijeon. Once the place for my favorite soon dubu, but now? Not so much. I'm use to the soup coming to the table boiling violently with a temperature similar to the surface of the sun. Not this time. I could probably have soon dubu every day and not be bored but not if it's from Chodang. While not entirely unsatisfying, I would rather spend my money elsewhere to have a gooey egg and for it to be brought to the table looking like a small witch's cauldron full of simmering egg and soft tofu. As for the kimchijeon, it was decent, albeit a bit greasy. My family enjoys this place so I'll probably be back but if it's my choice, I'd rather go to some of the other local spots around town for soup. Bonnie is super cool though so tip well! read more

If you want authentic Korean food, come here. Service is amazing and the food makes me feel like I'm home with my parents.

Went there during lunchtime, sat down and the server brought me water and the menu. I looked at the menu a little bit and then basically sat there for 20minutes waiting for someone to come and take my order. I decided to leave, before exiting I told another server who was on her phone that I had been sitting there for over 20mins but no one came to take my order. She didn't care at all. Disappointing and unbelievable read more

The food at chodang was delicious! The side dishes were freshly made. I ordered the beef bone soup, which was very rich.

Being from Seattle this is the best Korean food you can get in the Phoenix metro and food is always so consistent!

Wow!! Truly some of the best Korean food we've had! The portion sizes are huge but the biggest standout is the flavor. The owner spoke to us and essentially said the secret to the quality was her mother! The flavors are incredible and may even exceed some of the best Korean food I've had along the west coast. I highly recommend this restaurant!! It is perfect for a casual meal with a small or big group. Will definitely be coming back soon read more

Cho dang is still as delicious as ever. Bonnie, the owner for the last couple of years, is very friendly and will answer questions you may have about the menu. This time we got the budae jjigae which is one of our go tos. It's so satisfying with a variety of meats, veggie and amazing broth. The ban chan (sides) are good as well. I've been coming for years and will continue to do so. You can't really go wrong with anything you pick. read more

Was craving Korean food so decided to return to Chodang since I haven't been back after new ownership. Arrived around 6pm on a Thursday night and we were the only customers. The place looks the same as before. We ordered the raw marinated crabs, kimchi jeon, and galbi. The price is pretty steep. It was $45 for the crabs and $28 for the galbi. But the food tasted really good. I would go back for the crabs. It also comes with soybean soup which was tasty but a tad bit too spicy for my personal taste. read more

My husband and I came here to grab some food to go for lunch. I ordered the soft tofu soup and he got the kalbi. The customer service was great. The hostess was friendly and kindly offered us to sit as we waited for our food. The place was clean and food also came out quickly. The tofu soup was very flavorful but I got more tofu than the gopchang in my to go order. I loved the purple rice and sides that they paired with the order nevertheless. The kimchi cucumber was my favorite side. My husband thought the kalbi was deliciously made but he felt like the amount he received for one of their pricier items on the menu wasn't justified. There were only 8 pieces in his order for $30ish dollars. Overall, the food was delicious and we would return to try their other dishes, probably to dine in next time. Parking was limited in the front but there was a sign stating more parking spots were available around the corner. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area. read more
