20/10 would recommend to anyone trying out authentic Korean cuisine. The combo menu is SOOO worth it. Truly a Korean-style restaurant with plentiful banchan. I absolutely love their scorched rice, which you really can't get anywhere else tbh. Business is always booming here, even on slow days. I've come here on both a random weekday and a weekend, and there's always people no matter what. But don't worry, they clean immediately the moment you walk out that door, so there's no wait time. Everyone eats here. EVERYONE. Korean families, foreigners, youngins who love Korean culture, high school students, the diversity is insane. That's how you know it's good when it's appealing to both Koreans and foreigners. read more

i was looking for a place to get tofu soup and found this one! it definitely has a more comforting vibe, like i was home with my mother cooking for me. the staff is very sweet and always made sure to come check on us. the soup was very warm and just what i needed. the tofu was soft and flavorful, the extra ramyeon noodles (couple dollars extra) were softly cooked, and the meat was nice and soft. the meats were very soft, which was surprising since they look a little bit charred and dry. seasoned beautifully and would go great with the tofu. the side dishes were fresh and paired with every dish. read more

Delicious food and their banchan is awesome! Service is consistent with your typical Asian restaurant. Overall, I give this Cho Dang location 3 stars. I'd still come here if I'm in town for a stopover and craving Korean food. read more

Really good food, definitely going to come back again. Small location, not much service but everyone is very kind and nice. Not much option but all the options are good. Not cheap but not expensive either. read more

There's nothing better on a chilly, rainy afternoon than a warm, nourishing bowl of soup. In this case, it was soondubu at Cho Dang Village. Before the main event, we got the seafood & green onion pancake. Crispy on the outside and reasonably chewy interior. Good amount of seafood; in particular, the oyster stood out. It was also a nice portion that was ideal for sharing. I opted for the seafood soondubu. Everything, from the banchan to the specific side dishes served with the soondubu, came out not too long after ordering. I got it at spice level three which I thought offered the right amount of kick without being too overwhelming (I also like to think I have a pretty strong spice tolerance). It had a good variety of seafood; namely, the shrimp and oyster. I'm not the biggest fan of clams but they were definitely still tasty. The tofu was soft and silky. The yellow croaker and rice were great supplements to the dish. The rice perfectly absorbed the broth. The croaker added a nice crunchy break from everything. The banchan was pretty standard in my opinion - still, a great complement to the soondubu. Last but not least - service was attentive and quick. I will definitely be coming back at some point! read more

We came right before the dinner rush hour (4pm) and there was plenty of seating. It's one of our favorite Korean places when we're in the area and the food doesn't disappoint. We ordered the dinner combos and my absolute favorite were the spicy crabs. Slightly pricey but worth it once a while! Overall a family friendly shop with neat Korean decor. read more

The food was good, but it was also very uncomfortable. They tried to kick us out because we were missing one person from our party, and then changed their mind. We had full meals with no rice. No drink menu brought despite the request. Service worsened after my white husband left. The remaining of us were Black. When we finished the meal they kept throwing open and closing the curtains of our booth and tossing in and removing chopstick boxes. I was finishing an interview with a business associate, so we didn't want to leave just yet. No one was waiting for the table and seats were empty. I said please and thank you in Korean multiple times with no eye contact or acknowledgement. BCD Tofu house tastes better and treats me far better. I used to order carryout and Uber Eats from Cho Dang Village without incident, but now I am guessing they thought I was a driver, not a customer. read more

Honestly can't say anything else other than yum. The service is a bit bare but they definitely the job done and the food makes up for it. It's hard to beat the flavor at Cho Dang. I love their Korean short rib and soft tofu soup! The insane looks like you're really stepping into a comfy food spot in Korea. read more

Excellent food and variety! I have been here numerous times and its hands down the best Korean tofu soup. The tofu is made in house and you can taste the quality of the dishes especially the banchan. I ordered the seafood beef tofu soup and grilled pork combo. The pork was so flavorful, a little charred on a bed of onions. I was just happy with that until I had the soup! It wasn't fishy and I appreciate that you can pick your spice level. Definitely go for medium for the most flavorful spice level. Mild spice becomes bland. Also the beef dumplings were fresh. You can tell everything is made in house. Customer service isn't great, you have to ask the servers if you want something but I think its part of the korean culture. read more

Cho Dang is our favorite Korean restaurant in DFW and that's saying a lot. We've been coming here for years ever since they opened and they have been consistently good every time we've been. They are known for their soondubu or tofu soup and highly recommend getting that. Spice level is adjustable and they can do no spice which is great for kids. Each meal comes with banchan and a fried yellow croaker which has tons of salty flavor if you can navigate through the bones. The LA galbi is really good as well. Meat is tender and has a great grilled flavor. Seafood pancake is also great and it's of the thicker variety and comes on a hot plate. The service is always super efficient. It gets busy but the ajummas have a great system to get you your food asap. Does get pretty busy at peak times but wait times are never too long because of the efficiency. read more

I've been to Cho Dang in LA so I was surprised and excited to find one in Dallas. I ordered the dumpling tofu soup (medium spicy level) and it was delicious (very flavorful)! I just wish it came with a few more dumplings since there were only three, but overall I really enjoyed it. They also serve fried fish for each person and the rice comes in a stone pot, which is always a huge plus. My mom ordered the Korean cold noodles and requested hot sauce, and it made the dish even better. I definitely recommend asking for it. The staff were so friendly about it too which I really appreciated. Great food and great service, I will be back! read more

Cho Dang Village - Dumpling tofu soup - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

This is hands-down my favorite spot for Korean food. The quality is always on point, and the variety of banchan (side dishes) they serve is not only delicious but also refillable--major bonus! I always go for their Soondubu Jjigae, Bibim Naengmyeon, or Bibimbap--you really can't go wrong with any of them. They also offer some great combo deals, so you can enjoy two dishes without breaking the bank. I even introduced my dad to this place, and now every time he visits, he insists on ordering half the menu for the family to share. It's become our go-to spot for a hearty, comforting Korean meal. Highly recommend if you're craving authentic Korean flavors and a warm, welcoming vibe! read more

2 friends and I came on a Friday afternoon, and I was worried it would be packed with a long wait time based on other reviews, but from our experience, this is a good time to come! The restaurant had plenty of space, but service was still super fast and efficient anyway, which I loved. What I love about Chodang is that the food is stellar and such good PORTIONS. Knowing this, I still opted to order a Combo Special because the thought of having leftovers for the next day sounded great to me. I ordered the Kimchi Tofu Soup with Beef Bulgogi, and it was delicious. I usually order my soups at the Spicy level, which I would say has a kick and flavor but never leaves me panting for air or water. As someone who likes spice, I wouldn't say it's very spicy, but definitely flavorful. Beef Bulgogi is one of my favorite dishes, and this place's version does not disappoint. The meat is tender and has a good balance of sweet and salty. My friends also ordered Combo Specials with a Tofu soup and the Korean bbq ribs, and Spicy Pork Bulgogi. One of these friends opted for the medium spice level, which I would say is a safe choice for everyone, especially if you're worried about something being too spicy. All soups come with Korean side dishes, a whole grilled yellow croaker fish (delicious but lots of bones), and a hot stone bowl of rice. Nothing missed! read more

Food - Korean Tofu soup is what I came for. It was good, especially on a cold night. Could it have been better, I think so. But don't get me wrong, it was good though. Also ordered their Galbi with it. Lots of sides and scissors helped. Service - it was good but I guess since it was getting close to closing time, I felt rushed. But we still managed to finish the food fine. Ambiance - good. Nothing to write about. Verdict - in the Korean area of town, this fits fine. Definitely good to try. read more

I enjoyed the service and bonchons at Cho Dang Village, but the food was alright. Get the Combo Special as you get a good portion of protein and a delicious soup. The Spicy Pork was good, the Galbi was OK, and the Octopus Noodles didn't have nearly enough octopus. The Seafood Pancake was nice and fluffy, though. read more

My mom and I recently visited Cho Dang Village in search of some tasty silken tofu soup. We were not disappointed! The restaurant itself was spacious and inviting. After ordering, our food arrived quickly. The portions were large and supplemented with many pickled side dishes, white rice, fried fish, and barley tea. Everything was savory, delicious, and satisfying. The quality and volume of food you get for the price is unbeatable!

My new favorite place for Korean food. The place was recommended by the person that cuts my hair at Our Salon. I knew that it would be good! Located in the corner by Tom and Tom's coffee. It was very busy on a Saturday night around 6:45. You can tell that the place was going to be good when you see a variety of banhchan and tofu soup along with stone rice come out to every table. The place was a fun vibe for a party or dinner with a home like feel. They had K-pop music playing in the background. The menu had a variety of items. I chose the combo to have tofu seafood soup and Kalbi. I was served with 6 banhchan dishes, loved the kimchi, cucumber, and bean sprouts. I had to ask for seconds. I loved that the soup comes with an egg that you crack into the soup to cook. The soup was so delicious. It warmed me up. The flavor was soo good. The Kalbi was good too. They give you great portions. I also learned how to eat nurungi, a beloved Korean comfort food. You place tea water in the stone rice. It because like porridge. A hidden gem that's is so good. read more

The cold noodles here are so fucking good I've thought about it for 3 years. The first time I came here was 3 years ago and still to this day it's the best cold noodles I've ever had and I've dreamed about coming back to Dallas just for this. Finally back 3 years later and it still tastes as good as I remember. The broth is so flavorful and I love the sweetness of it. The banchan (sides) they have here are also good and I like how there are different things from other Korean restaurants. read more

Check out this hidden gem. We went at 2pm on a Saturday and the place was packed. We waited maybe 5 minutes for a table. The inside wasn't small but also not big. The decor looked shabby, but do not be alarmed. The food is really good. We got water and barley tea--not my favorite, but not bad. The hot tea was served in a plastic drinking cup which was a bit odd. The tea itself smelled earthy and of hay, but it had a mild flavor. We ordered the kimchi and green onion pancake and the combo of spicy pork bulgogi and the bibimbap. Pay the dollar to get it in the hot stone. Everything was delicious. I am a huge spicy bulgogi fan and this didn't disappoint. The banchan came with a mini, whole fried fish, along with kimchi, daikon, glass noodles and a few other things. Service is questionable. Never got refills of water, but if you are eating at an authentic restaurant, please accept the service to be questionable. Do not expect the service of an American steakhouse. read more

I decided to try Cho Dang Village after a great recommendation from someone who said it was better than my go-to spot, BCD. I was super excited to give it a try! We ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap and the Seafood Beef Tofu Soup/Soondubu + Beef Bulgogi Combo. The banchan was standard but tasty. The soup that came with the Bibimbap had a very mild flavor. The bibimbap itself was also good, but mediocre. For the Soondubu, so I usually stick to Vegetable Soondubu but wanted to try something different this time. While it was good, I wouldn't choose this combination again. The soup had a milder flavor compared to BCD, and even though I ordered a level 4 out of 5 for spiciness, it wasn't spicy at all--which was a little disappointing since I love spicy food. The bulgogi, however, was my favorite! I loved how it wasn't drenched in marinade, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. It was cooked just right and made the whole meal worthwhile. Their hot tea was also a nice touch. From my first experience, I personally think that Cho Dang Village has a more light and mild taste to their foods which isn't a bad thing to me. I usually like mild foods, but BCD's Soondubu has a lot of flavor, but the good kind of flavor. Overall, I do plan to come back and stick with my usual Vegetable Soondubu to really compare it to BCD. For now, I still prefer BCD because their soup is spicier and has more flavor overall. Service and ambiance were what you'd expect from a typical Korean restaurant--nothing standout, but solid and consistent. I'm glad I gave it a shot and look forward to trying more here. read more

We came here for lunch, and the restaurant was super packed, which is always a good sign. Despite the crowd, we were seated just a few minutes after checking in. We ordered the kimchi soon tofu soup, it wasn't bad, but it didn't quite hit the spot the way places like BCD or other soon tofu spots in LA do. We were really craving that comforting, rich flavor, so it felt a bit underwhelming this time. That said, I know this place has so many stars and great reviews, so I wonder if we just caught it during a busy moment. I'd definitely be open to giving it another try next time I'm in Carrollton! read more

I love Cho Dang Village. Every time someone I knows goes to Dallas I always recommend this place to them. Tucked in the corner part of Hmart area in Carrolton, it's a little easier to get parking too. They have a generous amount of banchan and the food comes out quickly. I ordered the pork kimchi soondubu and it was delicious. They give you rice to eat with it and after you finish the rice, they'll pour tea into it for you. We also got the bibimbap and its pretty big portion. I personally would just splurge and get the hotstone because the crispy rice texture is delicious. Spicy pork there is delicious too and the kimchi pancake is also amazing. I've been going to this place for years and it never fails me. read more

My 2nd time here after 2-3 yrs. I was hoping it would be better but it still does not rank for me. We ordered the galbi and bibimbap combo. I don't think they have a sizzling bibimbap option for the combo. The cold version is not good, would not recommend. Our galbi was cold and not sizzling over raw onions. There were a few pieces pure fat and meatless. Not much galbi to begin with. They were out of the beef rib soup. Service was good and we arrived late and ordered right away. They brought out plenty of bonchan dishes before the kitchen closed. Came here for our friends bday but would not choose it personally. read more

Solid Korean spot! Huge variety of soondubu available (tofu soup). If you choose the tofu soup combo, you can pick any to go with it. There's plenty of other classic Korean dishes available. I really wanted to try their yukgaejang (spicy beef soup), it did not disappoint! My favorite part is that they add the taro stems and fiddleheads, a MUST in this dish. It's so sad when places that have yukgaejang don't have those in theirs. Seafood pancake and banchan were tasty (mung bean jelly and jaechae, which are uncommon!) Friendly staff, easy parking, possibly a wait if you come during lunch on weekend. Fair prices. I think Cho Dang definitely represents one of the top Koreatowns in the US. read more

Realistically kind of a 4.5 because my friends and I keep coming back over and over to Cho Dang for the soondubu...but ONLY the soondubu (storytime below). To start, the dishes here are not exactly cheap, but the portion sizes make it well worth it. The banchan doesn't blow me away, but the soondubu bowls (including the combo sets) are quite large and come with a lot of rice as well as a fried croaker. I tend to order the seafood and beef soondubu in combination with the LA galbi for under $30. One time, when we came with friends, a couple of us branched out from soondubu for the first and last time and ordered the beef bibimbap. Delicious, but we both had pretty significant stomach upset the next day, and no one else in the group. My friend also tried the cold noodle and did not enjoy it. Since then, we have strictly stuck to soondubu :') The restaurant is very authentic. At the end of the dinner, they give you barley tea for the charred rice at the bottom of the rice bowl. The service is usually good but can be variable (long waits on a few occasions). fyi: - regardingthe soondubu combos: the dishes in the combo (especially the galbi) are pricey as their own separate entrees, so if you want both, I strongly recommend getting the combo deal. You don't get a ton more meat with ordering the entree separately (at least not enough to make the price difference worth it) and I'm pretty sure the soondubu size is the same. - They offer a range of spice, and as someone who enjoys spice but doesn't have the best tolerance for it, I order a Level 3. (My boyfriend, who has an even lower tolerance, safely consumes a Level 2; my friend who is a spice fiend from Thailand always gets Level 5). read more

An unique experience with arrowroot naengmyun I seldom enjoy as they tend to be too sweet and sour at times focusing on overpowering stimulants for your palette. Here at Chodang it was less so and subtle that was quite enjoyable. Kinda sweet and sour but with an open mind, doable. Hella dashes of mustard and vinegar brought out the deepened flavor, but the radish pickle stood out in the spotlight as the enhancer. The LA galbi that came along was alright - moist and soft, a usual when getting naengmyun/galbi combo at many comparable places. Skip the seafood pancake. read more

If you want solid tofu soup, this is the spot to check out. I came here on recommendation from a Korean restaurant owner, and I am so glad I did. The interior is simple but clean, with TVs scattered around on the walls. There are no frills here, just good food, banchan, and hot barley tea. I ordered the oyster and mushroom tofu soup, medium spicy, and it was the perfect first meal of the day. (Although oyster and mushroom are separate on the menu, I asked if I could combine the two, and they were able to accommodate the request.) I liked that they serve a grilled yellow croaker with the banchan because it is one of my favorite things to eat. Service was good; just be sure to flag down your server if you want a refill on the banchan (or the check). read more

The soondubu jjigae also came out hot and boiling. The soup was so flavorful and wasn't too spicy. I love naengmyeon and this one is definitely at the top of the list.
