    Banchan spread
    Jed P.

    If you are looking for a BCD replacement then Chodang is a top contender. First off plenty of parking in the small plaza this gem is located in. When you walk in, the interior is super clean and modern with a cute island bar top that I'm sure will see use as this restaurant blows up. Now onto the FOOD. First off the spread of banchan is top tier and the starting amount is very generous. Especially loved the cucumber kimchi but the variety alone was amazing never mind that each banchan was standout we didn't leave any. The tofu soup that followed was very delicious as well, not a super punchy first bite like BCD flavor wise but a flavor that builds with each bite which to me made it stand out from its competitor. Super balanced and not overly salty which I feel sometimes BCD can be. Great portion for the price as well. But let me say the GALBI! Some of the best galbi I've had in OC and that includes the KBBQ places I've been to. I would come back here solely for the galbi not gonna lie. Last but not least the service was EXCELLENT. Super attentive service even with only one lady manning the front of house and she was so warm and kind. Truly the hospitality that builds regulars and I think I will be! Much congratulations to the new opening of this restaurant!

    Galbi (Beef Short Ribs) TOGO

    Came here on a late Thursday night and as an Anaheim resident I can't even express how HAPPY I am that I did! Having an amazing Korean soft tofu soup & BBQ place so close by that closes at midnight is a blessing in itself truly. If I had anywhere to start off it would definitely be with the food. All their banchan (side dishes) were perfect to pair with everything including the raw squid that my sister mentioned tasted so fresh. The seafood pancake was battered spot on with a nice crunch yet soft bite that will have me thinking about it in my dreams HAHA! The Galbi (beef short ribs) & Bulgogi were tender and seasoned amazingly as well!I ordered the Mixed soft tofu soup for myself with regular spicy level and the only way to describe it would have to be straight up comfort food. The soft tofu soup itself is so filling, hearty, and comforting that it could revive anyone having a rough day which is what we really needed tonight! The waitress was also so super sweet and attentive! Although I was just sitting by the bar waiting for my takeout order, I could notice how much weight she was pulling by herself in terms of customer service and was so impressed! So to any future customers please try to be patient if things get a little busy and give some grace if possible! The exterior can be unassuming at night, but once I walked inside my mind changed immediately. It's kept very clean and had an inviting warm ambiance! There is Kpop music playing throughout the restaurant which was such a fun great vibe that I wanted to pop a soju bottle open right then and there! Since they open until midnight I was already thinking about how great this place would be to eat after a night out or to even keep a party going while keeping our stomachs happy at the same time, almost pocha vibes just don't get too crazy if you can't handle it haha. Overall they left a lasting impression on me and I will definitely be coming back thats for sure!

    This Chodang location just opened here in Anaheim and I am all for it. I met with some people here on a Thursday for lunch. It wasn't busy but there were a few aunties and uncs having their lunch. Parking was easy since the restaurant is located in the corner of a strip mall. When we arrived we got seated right away. I was impressed with how spacious and clean the restaurant looked. Once seated, we were given their many dishes of banchan. I love that they had a wide variety on their menu. There were plenty of options for their tofus including a mala flavor I want to try next time. They also had cold noodles, bimbimbap, and other korean dishes. Some of us got tofu and we also shared an army stew, pork katsu, and seafood pancake. Everything was yummy. The army stew was really good but the only thing I didn't like in it was the beans. But overall it was delicious. The katsu came with some of their yummy house made sauce which was so good. We all enjoyed everything with plenty of left overs. Pricing is very affordable. Service was excellent. The waitress even helped packed our leftovers for us. It was a great experience and I recommend if you are looking for affordable korean food in the area.

    The best tofu soup we've ever been to. Will definitely come back! Service is awesome. Very friendly and welcoming. They also give complementary drinks after you eat, kind of like a dessert.

    Great food & service! Got Rib Soft Tofu (I separated the meat before the photo) & Cold Noodle&Galbi combo, both were delicious!

    Spicy Chicken

    First time here, amazing service. Customer services is above and beyond, that are the sweetest. Food wise wooof, is amazing 1000/10. Food came in fast and fresh the seasoning for a late snack makes it feel just like home. The environment is so clean and comfy!

    Cold noodles
    Tracy M.

    Yay I'm happy there's another Korean spot closer to home in Anaheim. I ordered the Galbi Tang and the lunch combo with cold noodles & galbi -- both were delicious and the portions were HUGE. I had leftovers to take home. The food was spot on, just as good as other locations (Cerritos), and the service was attentive with really kind workers overall. You can tell they care about the customer experience. I hope more people discover this place because it's definitely worth checking out if you're craving Korean food! They have many different dishes - soups, noodles, seafood pancake.

    I'm glad they're open. We used to go to Cerritos Cho Dan at night but now Anaheim is much more closer from my house. We tried Dan Katsu and tofu soup. They also have BOGO drinks for Grand opening and super clean restaurant. Will be back soon!

    Naengmyeon + galbi combo
    Jessica N.

    New tofu soup spot in Anaheim. Service was really friendly and quick! I really liked how the naengmyeon came out as a slushy. One thing I would like next time is if they provided us scissors instead of cutting it in the beginning. Naengmyeon was solid, galbi was a little bit sweet for my tastes but my boyfriend liked it a lot

    Best seafood pancake! Great service, and the server was great. Family vibes and good food.

    I visited Chodang Tofu Anaheim today, and I was really impressed. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and very well organized. I heard they just recently opened and open until midnight. so I wanted to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the Galbi and tofu combo and it was absolutely delicious. The galbi was perfectly marinated and cooked, and the tofu was great . Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. The restaurant is spotless, and you can tell they pay attention to every detail. Overall, I had a wonderful dining experience and left completely satisfied. Thank you for the great food and outstanding service. Thank tou server! I will definitely be coming back!!!

    I brought my girlfriend and Korean mother here and we absolutely loved it. The flavor on all the Bonchon was so good and the Galbi was delicious. Ester was incredibly nice and very attentive. I will definitely be coming back.

    This new tofu spot is spacious & was open when even when I was hungry past 9:30pm the best part was the auntie (immo) who fed me with so much love -- aka food I got my all time fav perilla seed tofu & remembered to take pictures after regaining consciousness here....

    This is hands down my favorite Korean restaurant. The quality of the food and the portion sizes are…read moreboth 10/10. The kimchi, kkakdugi (radish kimchi), and gat kimchi are absolutely delicious. I heard that the owner makes everything in-house, and you can really tell how much care and skill go into the food. The staff are also incredibly kind and welcoming every time I visit. Galbitang (Beef Short Rib Soup) - This is honestly the best galbitang I've had in both OC and LA. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the beef is always fresh and tender. Whenever I'm craving galbitang in the OC/LA area, this is the only place I go. Yukgaejang (Spicy Beef Soup) - The amount of ingredients they give you is amazing. I've had it both dining in and as takeout, and it's consistently delicious every single time. It's perfectly seasoned, and has just the right level of spice. As much as I love the galbitang, I think I actually enjoy the yukgaejang even more. Pork Cutlet (Donkatsu) - This place is known for its galbitang and seolleongtang, so I wasn't expecting much from the donkatsu... but why is it this good? The cabbage salad dressing that comes on the side is seriously addictive. The portion size is huge, there's no way I could finish it by myself. It has the crispy texture of Japanese katsu, while still having a great pork flavor of its own. I honestly think this could be considered one of their signature dishes. If you're looking for authentic Korean comfort food with generous portions and warm service, I highly recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely keep coming back!

For food, I've tried a lot of their menu and everything is so good and shareable. The korean fried chicken is crispy, not dry, and seasoned so well! A favorite amongst the group was the beef intestine, which I've never had before and was pretty impressed by. It was super juicy and paired well with the scallions and sauce. Another favorite of the group was the corn cheese. It was like a pizza but corn cheese. My absolute tried and true is the pork belly. It is soo good, especially with the kimchi, peppers, and roasted garlic cloves. It definitely is my personal favorite on their menu! I can definitely see why this place is so popular!

They have a ridiculous policy that seems to switch from table to table. We wanted to order a pitcher of beer but since one person in our party wasn't 21 they wouldn't allow.

BUT THEN!! a table next to us sat down and had about 6 soju bottles and SHOCKER they had kids at their table, but I thought the policy was that everyone had to be 21??? We asked about it and then they said it's because we might distribute it to our friend, yea no. They literally told us "becuase we were all around the same age they couldn't". We were not. And how do they know the parents wouldn't give alcohol to their kids? Are they just deciding when this so called "policy" takes effect? Ruined our entire night, we came just to watch the game and have a beer. Would not return.

There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

The interior is clean, newly built, and has a modern Korean hanok-style look. The servers were also friendly both times, so I didn't have any issues with the service or atmosphere. Unfortunately, the main problem for me was the food. I've eaten at the LA location before and never really thought the food tasted bad there, but at this Buena Park location, both visits gave me the impression that the food didn't taste as fresh as it should. On my most recent visit, I ordered the soondae gukbap, and the soondae had an unpleasant off smell and didn't taste very fresh. It almost tasted like it had been sitting for a while. On my first visit, I tried the regular pork gukbap, and the pork flavor was also stronger than I personally prefer. I do tend to like cleaner-tasting gukbap, but this stood out to me because I don't remember having the same issue at the LA location. After the first visit, I thought maybe it was just an off day since the restaurant was still new. But after having a similar impression on my second visit, I'm not sure if this location is consistent yet. The space is nice and the service was good, but for a gukbap restaurant, the food has to be the main reason to come back. Based on my two visits, this location was disappointing for me.

I got the beef tofu soup 5/5 at mild spiciness and it was just as good as I remembered. We also got bulgogi which was flavorful and tasty 5/5. We got Galbi as well, but the meat was a bit burnt and didn't taste as good 3.5/5. Dinner rush was pretty busy. There was a bit of a mix up in terms of our order. There were some confusions as the staff tried to sort it out. In the end, they charged us for the right item and everything was fixed. So no complaints here and I'd still go back when I'm craving tofu soup.

    Before I start this review, let me clarify that yes, I have had BCD and I would choose Kaju over…read moreBCD any day. The sides just taste so much fresher here and the service is always phenomenal My favorite is the beef dumpling soup medium, the soup has just the right amount of spice and flavor without being overly salty. Galbi here is more so hit than miss but occasionally it will be a tad bit fattier than my liking. For the most part the last 3 visits I've had superb cuts and have devoured every bite. Whether you're hungover, cold, or craving something spicy, kaju will always be my safe space. Walking in, it's always bustling with people but the wait usually isn't long given their online yelp waitlist. You'll find Korean mothers walking around serving you or refilling your sides (my favorite part) which gives it a very homey aesthetic. I'd imagine a lot of restaurants are like this back in Korea. Overall 5/5 but please don't all come at once, I hate waiting
