Visiting Austin, and decided on this spot as it was nearby order the seafood tofu soap, medium spice level. i was suprised by the banchan that included some fish and also the OG style rice. have not had this rice in a while. most korean spots i frequent just go with rice cooker these days well, i still remember the whole tea and rice deal to get the crunchy rice off and drink after dinner as sort of dessert. not really, its pretty much just rice water in some korean tea.. not something i crave... i do like the crunchy rice bimbibop style... i like the banchan, the one that stood out was the white veggie noodle like one that was in kewpie dressing. i think it was cabbage. taste like coleslaw, so i think it is cabbage. total was 20 cash. there was 4% discount for cash. either way, i was doing 20 as dish was $16. end up with $3.40 tip 21% all good. and the soup was as expected. 5 star all day when u can get good tofu soup for 20 buck all inclusive... read more

Service was excellent very fun crew always smiling and attentive. Ambiance was ok its not the best, its not good either but its not bad at all. Their meat could have been great ONLY if the beef belly was not hella frozen. Thats the only bad thing I don't like the rest was really good and oh not that many meat options but it was good enough to full my stomach. I would recommend trying the short rib the one on the picture and LA galbi. I forgot her name but she was short korean who served our food. She was always smiling, energetic and very attentive. Thanks to her great service. Would I recommend this place? I wanna say yes its worth trying id personally would like to go back. read more

Chodang Village - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Be aware that this restaurant actually closes at 9:00 PM, not 9:30 PM as advertised. They should update their hours on both Yelp and their front door to avoid confusing customers. We walked in at 9:03 PM on a Tuesday expecting they were still open based on the posted hours, but were told they had already closed. While I understand businesses have to close at some point, what was disappointing was the way it was handled. Instead of a polite, "I'm sorry, we just closed," the hostess greeted us with a condescending, "Uh, are you meeting someone here?" The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude and left a poor first impression. Accurate business hours and a more courteous response would have made all the difference. read more

Came here for dinner on Saturday and was seated immediately. They offer the standard AYCE kbbq as well as combo sets where you can take the food home if you can't finish. We opted for the premium combo set where we get to pick 4 meats and 2 sides. We got two Kalbi, one beef tongue and one pork jowl. It's good thing we got two serving of Kalbi cause that only equates to 4 strips of Kalbi. They give you a ton of the other two meats though. The banchons here were decent and I really liked the steam egg side dish. We also ordered the kimchi jigae which is just ok. Overall a decent kbbq experience but not enough to warrant the drive back from central Austin. read more

We loved Chodang Village so much that we ended up going two weekends in a row! The first time was Saturday around 4:20 PM, then again the following Sunday at 3 PM--and both times it wasn't busy at all. We got seated right away, staff were super friendly, and service was lightning-fast and efficient. We went with the AYCE BBQ Option B "Deluxe," which includes everything from A + B for $36.99 per person. Totally worth it--the selection is huge (various cuts of pork and beef, plus even octopus). But honestly, the real standout is the banchan (sides). Portions are generous--stuff that would cost extra at most places comes included here! Our favorites: the steamed egg, cheesy sweet corn, kimchi soup, and especially the fried dumplings. (Pro tip: toss those dumplings on the grill in a little meat grease to crisp them up... thank me later!) All I can say is--when I'm too lazy to make KBBQ at home and craving endless side dishes, this is where I'll be. read more

Five star experience every time I've been here. The place is always nice and tidy. Plenty room for large groups or intimate setting. Feel like the more people the better here. The staff is super nice and helpful. Never any issues. Food is always 10/10. The bulgogi is my favorite aside the pork belly. The kimchi is 10/10 as well. read more

We had a good experience doing a la carte at Chodang Village! You could either do that or all you can eat BBQ, so there are options. The banchans were good, service was attentive and quick, and portion was pretty plentiful for the price (yes, everything is expensive now). You could get the combo of soup and a meat for an affordable price, or honestly you could feed two people with a soup and banchans and the special rice they give alongside the soups. We opted for eat now and take home later, so we ordered two meats (spicy pork and galbi) along with a pork soon tofu soup. Galbi was marinated well and tender, soup was very good (especially with the drier special rice), and pork was good. It was a lot of food for us two in addition to the banchans (with refill), so next time we'll likely just get the soup and galbi. The layout was kept the same from Charm - it's pretty spacious and there's at least one private room for events. read more

My friend loves Korean food so we wanted to try this place. We liked the openness and quick service. You have the option of the regular menu or the BBQ side which is basically all you can eat. We were here for lunch, but we were curious to try the BBQ side. The bulgogi was great. I had the bento box and it was more than plenty. Could barely eat a quarter so the portions are generous. Its problem lunch and dinner and breakfast in a way. The flavors are on point! The glass noodles and kimchi were extraordinary. My friend now loves this place and she wants to bring her kids when she can. I'll be coming back to try other things as well. Most likely for lunch. read more

I love this place! It brings me back to the Korean places in California. I always get the seafood tofu soup. The bon chon comes out quickly and is always so fresh. My personal favorites are the kimchi, fish cakes, mackerel, and japchae. The seafood tofu soup is always filling and the rice is cooked to perfection. This is my regular place, I frequent this place at least 2x a month. read more

Pretty decent as far as Austin Korean restaurants go! We came as a huge party of around 20 people, and the workers were so accommodating. We ended up splitting between two huge tables. And one of our groups was able to use the private room. The banchan quickly came out, they were both refillable and delicious. I especially loved the potatoes and the fishcake. But not so sure about the radish (?). I got one the combination seafood and beef tofu stew with medium spiciness. It was barely spicy though, if I could rechoose, I would have gone with a spicier option for sure. The rice comes out in a little pot which I love because the edges crisped up a bit. The stew had a good amount of both beef and seafood. But it was a little annoying to have to peel the shrimp myself. read more

We stopped here after my daughter's hair appointment and were immediately seated. We decided to do the Korean barbecue and tried the spicy pork belly, spicy chicken and beef Bulgogi. We also tried several of the sides as well. It is such a relaxed environment and a lot of fun to cook the meat with the Kiddos, particularly my son, who considers himself a grill master lol. It's nice that you can order as much as you are able to eat and for us it was not a lot as their bowls of meat were generous as well as their sides. Our favorites of the meats were the spicy pork belly and beef Bulgogi. The spicy chicken lacked flavor. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return. read more

I wouldn't go back. We came here with a large group (20ish people) and were able to split half into the large private room. Banchan was great and can be refillable. However, when taking our orders, the server forgot which orders were already taken and unluckily for me, it turns out it was my kimchi jjigae order. I also want to note that I originally wanted a lunch special, but turns out these are only available on weekdays. It does not mention that on the menu (as far as I could tell) so I wish I didn't waste my time scrutinizing that part of the menu. Maybe it was a good thing my order got left off because I was actually full from just eating my bf's pork bulgogi and banchan. The pork bulgogi tastes good but quickly becomes repetitive after eating it for a while and I suspect there's some MSG. We were not able to finish it and had some leftovers. We were also not well-taken care of and had to ask multiple times for gochujang sauce, napkins, and water. I don't know if it's because we're in a private room, but the service was minimal. Regardless of the service, the food was alright but nothing special to me. I have had lots of Korean food and worked for a Korean restaurant before so...maybe a la carte isn't the move. I know they also have all you can eat bbq but we didn't get that. Everything is priced really high. The pork bulgogi (that only comes with one bowl of rice) after tax is already $30, which is enough to get all you can eat at Kpot or something similar. If you want affordable, delicious Korean food, this isn't it. read more

Always down for Korean food, and this locL spot is a good one. We came with a large party and they had long tables in separate rooms which was perfect for us. They have a lot of menu items and combos. They also have lunch bento boxes but those are only for weekdays, which the menu doesn't mention. The prices for the portions are good! The banchan is not bad and comes with unlimited refills like at other Korean restaurants. I ordered chicken dumpling tofu soup and the dumplings were yummy. The spice level, however, was inaccurate - I got medium but it was barely spicy, I would've considered it below mild. The rice came in a hot pot so the edges get crispy, which I like. read more

What a cute and nice Korean restaurant! First we got some interesting side dishes, including one where the rice sticks to the bowl while some hot liquid is poured into the bowl. We got Seafood Tofu Soup, Hot Stone Bibimbap with Beef Bulgogi, and LA style Short Ribs. My favorite was the Hot Stone Bibimbap. Everything was great and I would definitely come back. read more

No better place to be hungry than at an all you can eat KBBQ spot! We recently tested how much food our stomachs could hold at Chodang Tofu House and here's what we found: the setting is clean and quaint, a bit of a strange interior that's difficult to explain but it doesn't really feel like a KBBQ spot inside. Parking was decent so that's a plus. We ordered the deluxe options and ate a good amount of different meats and here's what we experienced... a lot of the meat is underwhelming. Specifically, many of the beef cuts don't have a lot of flavor and taste bland. Not sure what it is but in comparison to other similar spots we've been to nothing really stood out except for the beef bulgogi. The sides were so-so, the sweet corn being the best of them and the kimchi just not tasting that good. One thing I noticed was that for some reason the grills here charred very quickly compared to other places which left us needing to get our grill replaced quite often. When it was time to wrap up dinner and pay they took our card and returned the bill to me without my card and when we went up to ask about it we saw it hanging out of the payment machine, not a good look. As a whole the service was decent but when handling people's cards and personal belongings you just need to be a bit more on top of that. The pricing honestly wasn't bad, just a letdown for how the food was. The whole experience was okay, we would definitely recommend anyone go for themselves to be the judge of the place and maybe we'll return one day and give it an upgrade. read more

A totally five star outstanding Korean restaurant ... That will generate name confusion left and right and up and down. Get over the name issues and enjoy Korean food to die for. * * * Name Issue 1: This is the old Charm BBQ that was at this very location on Howard and I-35. Not only did they keep the building and the decoration. They kept the personnel. There IS new ownership and top management. The new owners and managers TOTALLY UPGRADED THE MENU. The old Charm BBQ was pretty darn good. Now - under the name Chodang Village they are pretty darn amazing. * * * Name Issue 2: They also call themselves Tofu House and most of the signage refers to Tofu House. You have to get right up next to the door to see the words Chodang Village. Even with that I had to ask the lady at the cash register inside. There are other references to Chodang Village inside the restaurant once you get settled. * * * Name Issue 3: There is a completely different restaurant under completely different ownership named Chodang in the HMart food court at Lakeline and 183. Even more confusing ... BOTH Chodangs - the one in the Northeast and the one in the Northwest - are FIVE STAR ESTABLISHMENTS. Naturally a food court restaurant in a grocery store has a small menu while the Chodang near Pflugerville has a big menu. But both places are die-and-go-to-heaven good. So you can pick your paradise depending on which corner of the Austin Metro you live in or want to drive to. * * * Among the stellar attractions at Chodang Village in the Austin-Pflugerville nether zone: 1) Insanely good skewered sausages and rice sticks in an American style Barbecue sauce. Note that bar food in American style Barbecue sauce is as Korean as super cute girl groups making music videos. 2) Korean red soups that are as good as red soup ever gets. Not especially spicy - but packed with flavors - a million flavors. There are a million flavors because there are a million ingredients. You will have no idea what will show up in your spoon next. 3) Each ingredient is cooked perfectly. Mediocre Korean soups boil the life out of the ingredients. Here, every single solitary different component has been cooked for the ideal time to be at the peak of flavor. I have no doubt that they accomplish this with the knife. Everything is cut to the precise right size. This way when it all gets dumped into the soup in one fell swoop, everything will be boiled for one length of time and still be just right. The kitchen prep here gets 1000 right out of 1000. 4) Completely authentic use of bony fish that Americans would never buy. Those bony fish taste terrific. 5) Equally authentic use of whole fish side dishes where you eat everything head and all. Don't be squeamish. You can take the three bony junctions that you can't chew out of your mouth. Everything else goes down and tastes great. 6) Some of the best Korean side dishes in Austin. One of these is the only Korean cole slaw in Austin that is worth eating. Kimchi runs on the mild side which suits me fine. 7) They also have Korean BBQ which may or may not be wonderful. If I have to cook my own food before I eat it, I would rather do that at home. At home I can cook whatever I want in my flipflops while listening to the music of my choice. At a restaurant, I want the cook to do the work for me. Fortunately, the cooks at Chodang Village are amazing - Which makes it worthwhile to put on shoes and socks and save the music for another time. * * * So what are you waiting for? Get in the car and drive to Northeast Austin immediately! Unless of course you have plans to eat at the Chodang Food Stall in Northwest Austin. Then you have an excused absence. Or alternatively you have plans to eat at the 9000 marvelous NON-Korean restaurants that are part of the magic of our wonderful town. read more

Solid spot in north Austin for kbbq! I came here with some friends we got two bbq combos to share and it was plenty of food for the 5 of us. The banchan was plentiful and tasty, and included fish cakes, kimchi, white seaweed and more. We loved that the combos came with sides too like cheesy corn and steamed egg! My favorite meats of the night were the galbi and short rib which were both super tender and well marinated. I loved how quick the service was and will definitely be back to try their jjigaes! read more

Jennifer greeted me as soon as I walked in and was super helpful with the menu--explaining things and offering suggestions without making me feel overwhelmed. I ended up ordering the teriyaki chicken, which came with a spread of side dishes (check the pics). Now listen, I couldn't tell you what everything was--but the kimchi? Very good. Those white noodles? Surprisingly tasty. And the dumplings? Chef's kiss. I actually threw them in the air fryer when I got home because I like mine extra crispy, and they did not disappoint. The teriyaki chicken, on the other hand, was just okay. It didn't have that rich teriyaki flavor I expected, so I had to sauce it up myself. And I would've loved a little heat--totally could've asked, but hindsight is 20/20. Thankfully, my spice rack came through. The place was clean, chill, and quiet since I went after work--no wait, which was nice. Would I come back? Yeah, I would. But next time, I'm going in on the Korean BBQ. I feel like that's where this place really shows off. read more

Great KBBQ restaurant in the North Austin/ South Round Rock area! Conveniently located right off the I-35. Been here two times, and received great service, food, and vibes each time. The AYCE KBBQ option has four options to pick from, ranging from $30-60 (approximately). I get the second option lowest option for the Short Ribs. Meat quality is great, sides are good, and the customer service is always on point. Give this place a try! read more

2nd time here and I have to say I love the intestine tofu soup! It went back just to make sure because the first time was good. I got the galbi + tofu soup combo ($28). Good portions for both items. Galbi is nice and charred, soup is very rich and flavorful. Banchan is also very good. Steamed eggs is light on the seasoning, but I don't mind it. Eggs are fluffy. Seafood pancake comes out on a hot plate, so it stays nice and crispy, some pieces were a little burnt though. Happy that this restaurant is close by my neighborhood. With parking lot (this is a deal-breaker sometimes if there isn't one) read more

First time trying this place out since it replaced Charm. I think it's definitely an improvement as far as non ayce korean food goes (only tried the regular menu today). It's clean and super spacious now. There was a separation between the regular diners and the ayce kbbq-ers which was considerate. We got the Kimchi and Beef Soft Tofu Jjigae as well as the Cold Noodles + Spicy Pork Bulgogi combo. The Banchan was good--i really liked their kimchi, fishcakes, and japchae. The cucumbers were alright...the mayo-y dish was a no for me, but that's mostly because i'm just anti-mayo. The fried croaker only comes with the jjigae. Onto the entrees--i really liked my tofu jjigae--perfect amount of delicate tofu, great flavor (med spice was perfect for me), and a carefully cracked soft yolk egg. There was a TON of beef in my soup which was good. However, there was no kimchi at all...i'm wondering if they just forgot to put it in the bowl or had a mistake in the order. Regardless, i still enjoyed it. Bonus, the side of rice came in a hot metal pot and got a bit of crisp on the edges. For the combo meal, the portions were massive! We had a ton of leftover pork and didn't finish the giant bowl of noodles. The spicy pork bulgogi was good, but didn't have that nice char at the bottom--also wasn't quite spicy either. Korean cold noodles aren't quite my thing, but flavor was solid. The entree combos are definitely quite worth with the amount of food that they give you. Service was friendly. Will definitely be back another day! read more

This restaurant is the renovated and rebranded restaurant that was called Charm. This was my first time there since the rebrand/renovation and the menu definitely is different. My friend and I got the Kalbi, Kim chi stew, oyster pancake, and cold noodles. Service was great and attentive. All the dishes were delicious. I'm not so much a fan of the oyster pancake (I like regular seafood pancakes more. Not a demerit to the restaurant, just a personal preference). The Kimchi stew was nice and sour and the pork was great. I like that they bring you a small personal mackerel if you order a stew and they brought us toasted rice with tea to pour into it to enjoy. Lastly the cold noodles were so good, super refreshing during this season. It's hard to find places in Austin that serve this, so definitely worth coming here to try. read more

I'm pretty sure this is another location of my favorite Korean restaurant in Dallas, but OMG I can't believe they opened a location in Austin!!! They replaced Charm and made really good use of the space. Staff is really friendly, and it's really clean with a lot of room in between tables. I'm assuming that because Charm was a KBBQ restaurant, they've decided to take advantage of the equipment and tables that were meant for grilling purposes, which is really smart. My friend and I ordered the oyster pancake, tofu soup, and I also got the galbi combi. Their food always hits. The tofu soup is packed with flavor, and they put a lot of seafood inside the seafood soup. We were most amazed by their oyster pancake. It was so nicely cooked/fried with a nice crunch for texture, and I just love oyster pancakes in general but they really knocked it out of the park. Their galbi is always cooked to perfection, and there's so much flavor as well. Cho Dang's side dishes will always be my favorite, and you can honestly get full just off of the side dishes. My friend and I also ordered the corn cheese, which was so good! Great mayo + cheese flavor. I can't wait to come back again, and I love that Austin is building out its Asian food scene. Cho Dang is a great addition, so please give them a visit! read more

This is as good as it gets in Austin for Korean food (for now). Service is quick. Portions are big. Banchans are free flowing. I got the seafood soondubu. The set comes with the soup, rice, and a grilled fish. I eat a lot and even I could not finish my whole meal read more

We tried Cho Dang Village - the restaurant brand that replaced CHARM KBBQ. We had two combos, Dol Sot Bimbimbop + LA Galbi ($30), Seafood Tofu Soup + Grilled Mackerel ($25) and seafood pancake ($17). Overall we enjoyed the variety. Especially the banchan as they even give you fried fish! In fact, had I known they had fried fish as a banchan I would've chose some else other than the grill mackeral as combo. Food wise and the location will bring us back. The bimbimbop was hot enough to crisp the bottom. The Seafood Tofu Soup came with clams, whole shrimp, oysters, egg and fresh tofu. Very pleased with the variety. Seafood pancake was very umami and had a lot of seafood within. As for service. It wasnt bad, there was just a mistake done at the beginning that had domino effect on the rest of our experience. Upon arrival be sure to know if you want to do AYCE as this will place you in different sections of the restaurant. We were asked if we wanted to have Korean BBQ as the opening question, and although the answer is yes, we intended to have KBBQ and tofu soup, it wasn't explained at the beginning that the BBQ grill was only reserved for AYCE specifically. So because we wanted a la carte, we were asked to get back up and wait outside with our drinks in hand, all to be resat again by to same waitress. Unfortunately, that same waitress 's original section is where we sat originally, so we were never checked on nor had our drinks or banchan refilled, got our check or to-go boxes without asking any other staff that was walking by. Let them know if you want AYCE or not is key for a smooth seating process! read more

Our server was not that attentive and didn't come by enough to check on our table after our initial order. We were doing the all you can eat Korean BBQ and kept running out of sides, drinks and/or meats. Food was decent and the options were good for the all you can eat at the deluxe $32.99/each price. I really liked that each 'order' wasn't too many pieces of meat so between the three of us we got to try almost all 13 options. Our favorites were the spicy marinated pork and beef bulgogi. read more

I visited here with a group of 11 for a graduation party and we found the dining and experience fairly easy and painless. Most of us ordered the basic ayce. For $33, you don't get many premium choices, just basic cuts of beef, pork, chicken and 1 seafood, the baby octopus. Service is friendly and quick. We ordered a few things off the menu, which are not included like the seafood pancake just to try it out. Overall, we had a decent experience and found the food to be pretty similar to most other Korean bbq ayce spots. I wasn't blown away by any particular meat. My favorite meat was probably the brisket just because it was thicker and didn't cook too quickly or dry out. The one negative was the vent hood over my table. It didn't seem to be working that well and especially toward the end when we had finished cooking. The grill tray was burnt by that time and there was no waiter around to turn off the fire on the grill, and the smoke was just blowing in my face so much...even though I had backed my chair away from the table pretty far. read more

I was so excited to try a new KBBQ spot in town but a bit disappointed by my experience here. Not only was our grill not hot enough and it took forever to cook the meat, but the seasoning/marinate of the meat was way too bland. It was either not sweet or salty enough. The one dish that stood out was the corn cheese. The pricing was reasonable but I would not do AYCE here again because of the poor quality. I would probably give their other dishes a try though. Service was okay, they weren't as attentive as the other KBBQ places and you truly have to cook your own meat here. Staff were very nice though. It's spacious inside and plenty of seating. read more

Was bummed when charm closed (I loved their dweaji soup) but was excited to try this new tofu house! The interior has been lightly remodeled and definitely looks fresh and clean. They retained staff from charm, and so we saw our favorite waitress, who wears all the hair clips! She is so sweet- and everyone was, from hostess to our waiter to food runner. We opted for soup, not BBQ, and I was so happy to see the extensive combo meals if you want the option of more meat along with your soup. When you order the combo, you get all the trimmings of the tofu soup (and can choose any flavor) including the full fried croaker fish! I chose the kimchi jjigae with pork and paired it with pork bulgogi. $23 and I thought it was well worth it. So much food, and the soup was filled with BIG chunks of pork and tons of tofu. Plus, you get the raw egg cracked right on top! My friend did a combo with the galbi, and while good, I thought the portion was a little lacking. They cover the skillet with onion so it looks big but there was really only a few pieces. You also get a bowl of rice! The highlight for me was the banchan- SO FRESH. We got kimchi, coleslaw, fish cakes, japchae and cucumbers. The cucumbers were crisp and crunchy, the coleslaw a good ratio of mayo, the fish cakes delicious. Our server even checked to see if we wanted refills on the side dishes. They serve alcohol and we did get a bottle of soju- I will always complain about the inflated soju prices in America in general, but that aside, it was $14 for the bottle which is in line. Cannot wait to come back! read more

Fantastic lunch specials. Huge portions. Ate here with a work team, about 10 of us. Sat in a private room. Service was excellent, attentive and friendly.

Formerly Charm Korean BBQ - I really enjoyed Charm but the building was aging and a remodel was due. I hadn't been in awhile and actually came to try Chodang by accident after realizing Charm had closed. Chodang was SUPER clean and the entire interior has been updated. The interior is now very modern with tables for BBQ only and others for dining in without BBQ. There are rooms available for larger parties, however I was dining in with two friends so we grabbed a table. Customer Service 10/10 | Everyone from the hostess to the wait staff and the people clearing tables were wonderfully nice and friendly. We didn't wait long at all for anything, everyone was moving quickly and we did not feel rushed at all. As we were arriving later in the night, we only had 1.5 hours to eat, the staff made sure we wanted to still eat despite the time, not many places do that anymore so it was an appreciated gesture. Proteins 10/10 | I was skeptical with this being the first time at a brand new location, so I tried to keep my expectations low. I was super blown away, although we got option B and it was inclusive of all cuts, we didn't ever order a second round of proteins. We all eat quite a bit but they were not messing around with the portions. (see pics, eeeeeek) Banchan 9/10 |Banchan was fresh, lots of options but the kimchi was REAL sour, a little too sour for my liking. Kind of ruined the Kimchi soup but we still ate it after dipping grilled meats in it :) I would highly recommend Chodang not only for the food quality but the wonderful service. For AYCE this is the best quality I've found in Austin, I find it better than KPot, Honey Pig, Gangnam and the other AYCE's in ATX. read more

The kitchen closed five minutes before closing. We got lost because the sign outside says, Tofu House, not Chodang Village.

Enjoyed our dinner at Chodang Village! Craving Korean food, we searched Yelp and found this spot, so we headed over. The place was busy but we were immediately greeted and asked if we wanted BBQ or regular dining room seating. When we opted for the dining room, we were escorted to a table in the main dining room. The establishment was clean and had comfortable space between tables. Our waiter was extremely helpful, answering questions about the menu and ensuring we had clarity on what came with our selected entrees. Once we placed our order, it wasn't long before our drinks and the banchan dishes arrived. The variety of sides were tasty, providing a glimpse of what was to come. A short while later our entrees were served. My husband had a nice serving of beef bulgogi with a side of rice. My hot stone bibimbap bowl was sizzling hot throughout the course of the meal, making for tasty crispy rice once I reached the bottom of the bowl. The waitstaff worked harmoniously, offering additional sides and drink refills. This meal hit the spot! We'll surely return for our Korean food fix! read more

Great spot for traditional Korean food. I didn't try the bbq menu but the bibimbap cake with loads of bulgogi which was a pleasant surprise. In fact that hot stone bowl was filled to the brim. It was meaty and excellent. Opted for the combo which came with short ribs. A little overcooked but a fair amount and absolutely filling, even when sharing with one other. The sides were also excellent. Also got the cold noodles, naengmyun. So refreshing in this heat. Service was quick and attentive, and server was super friendly. My only complaint was the lack of seating accommodation in a near-empty restaurant. Requested to sit near the window or wall, but they wouldn't accommodate as those were reserved for bbq, fine I get it, but the place was empty lol. Just a personal preference, don't like sitting in the middle where ppl walk around while I'm eating. Other than, excellent place and look forward to my next visit! Highly recommend! read more

Chodang Village - Bibimbap and Galbi! - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really enjoyed our visit there. It was really easy to get a table. Everyone was very attentive and quick to check up. Super glad that we have a tofu house nearby now. They even offer a combo with the stew and BBQ. Best of both!! Definitely coming back to see what else is different from the old establishment. read more
