    Joy Q.

    Very content with the banchan selection, the flavorful beef soup, and the chicken wings. Overall better value for money in comparison with other Korean restaurants in the region

    Rose Udon

    Love the food, hate the table layout. Came here before the official opening because Korean cuisine is amazing and was seated in the middle two top tables. The restaurant layout itself looks a bit haphazard - a freezer for ice cream is in the main dining area, an oversized television consumes the east wall. The restaurant has no character, no ambiance but - does it matter? Seriously ambiance is nice but that's the garnish. Give me service and food. Service was solid. Friendly and overly polite. There were some soft opening hiccups but nothing big. The food was delicious! I ordered the Rose Udon and oh wow it was wonderful. The noodles were toothy, the sauce creamy, the sausage a delight! I loved it! Every bite was delicious. The rain on my parade was the table arrangement. With a freezer on one end and the pony wall on the other end people did not have a clear path of exit. This resulted in people trying to slip between our table and the empty table next to us which resulted in multiple jostlings. It was disconcerting, irritating, and disruptive. I hated it. But the food? Delicious.

    Finally got to try this Korean restaurant on the Island. I had the bibimbop lunch and my coworker had the bulgogi lunch. All were solid! I wish there were more mushroom and spinach in the rice but it was still delicious. It's a great addition to the choices on Mercer Island.

    Wowee - what did we do to deserve you?!!! An excellent full menu Korean restaurant on Mercer Island! The stone Bi Bim Bap was solid. Excellent crispy K-fried chicken. Generous portioned mackerel. Yuk Gae Jang was a hearty, soul warming affair. And a plethora of banchan. Service was so friendly and helpful! Clean and bright space. Love it!!!

    Good place to get Korean food in Mercer Island! They have a huge menu of authentic items, good portion sizes, good presentation, good service. Overall, I highly recommend and I would come back.

    Probably the best traditional Korean food you can get without having to drive to Federal Way, Lynwood or Bellevue. Food tastes authentic, banchan is fresh and service is friendly and quick.

    Finding consistently good Korean food in WA been challenging, so I was delighted to discover an excellent Korean restaurant on the island. The service was also great! Just a heads up that they are closed on Tuesdays.

    yum yum yum!!!! my family and i were waiting for weeks for danji to open ever since we saw the sign go up XD we came in on their second day and were seated right away. the space has really opened up and there's lots of seating now. we ordered and food came out super quickly. everything tasted great -- the fried chicken we got was super crispy and moist, and the wings were sizeable. i will say with a wet sauce it can be a tad bit salty, but not terribly so. the bibimbap was yummy as well, but i would've liked the egg to be more runny; it was pretty much fully cooked. loved the cheese tteokbokki and soup we got as well. of course the banchan was delish too! overall pretty solid spot for mercer island and im glad we have a restaurant that's open later now. obviously some items are a bit pricey, but expected for the island.

    Great Korean food- what a treat to have it on the island! Service was also great. I've been to the Issaquah location so was excited to have it come to Mercer Island.

When we first sat down, we were given hot barely tea. For food, I ordered the mixed (seafood + beef) tofu soup which came with 4 assorted ban chan, fried fish and ceramic pot white rice. Note: there's peas on the rice. My husband ordered the combo tofu soup + protein entree, which he chose beef tofu soup and bulgogi (thinly sliced marinated beef) and it was delicious! We shared the entree since it was pretty large size. The combo also came with side dishes, rice and fried fish. It was nicely grilled, easy to eat with small bones. Ban chan was pretty unlimited with staff constantly walking around to check in and make sure you have enough side dishes to enjoy with your meal. I have to note, the service is incredible! I couldn't have had a better lunch experience than my first time at Cho Dang. Will be back soon and highly recommend to friends :)

Portion was small, there were no flavors, and it honestly was pretty gross. I've enjoyed all other menu items here, just heads up if you're going for "the army stew".

While the meat jajangmyeon…read morehad a great taste profile from my last visit, I got their beef jjamppong this time around and wow I wish I got this one earlier! The beef broth is on the verge of being too salty but it's balanced by the sheer amount of black pepper that you can taste and not really see inside the clear broth. There's also a ton of beef and veggies inside, and got noodles for this dish. Noodles themselves were al dente and fresh. Friend and I also shared a side of fried dumplings, which came out very hot and didn't really need the sauce provided on our table, as everything already had enough taste. Staff brought out the food relatively fast - within about 10 minutes for all our dishes - and this is on top of the restaurant becoming a full house throughout the hour we stayed. People even started lining up near the waiting area after a while, that's how packed this place gets!

The place is roomy with very grey walls and very red signs, a bit empty when we went. Service was friendly. Ordering is done at the counter, and they bring the food to you. Overall, the food is just ok. Trusted foodie friends gave the same opinion. We won't be returning. The Food: Sweet & Sour Pork, $19.45 - 3 Stars Fried pork with sweet and sour sauce is one of the popular Korean Chinese food dishes. Theirs is ok. The pork piece inside is a skinny strip of meat, visible in photos. A bit chewy. Ok enough but not noteworthy. Soontofu Jjamppong, $19.45 - 2.5 Stars This is their spicy noodle soup (pork, squid, mussels, vegetables) with soft tofu added. The menu/online photo shows broth over the tofu, and I thought the tofu is cooked with the broth. I love soft tofu soup and decided to try it. Nope. My photo shows the tofu is added as a topping at the end, cold, with some peppers on top. What a disappointment. The rest of it was as expected. Beef Jjamppong, $17.45 - 2 Stars Beef and vegetables noodle soup in beef broth. Their online photo looks a lot more scrumptious with a pile of beef on top. My photo is a mixed pile of everything. The beef wasn't tender. The broth isn't particularly beef. Hubby was annoyed. The food in the restaurant vs the food photos online is like fast food hamburger photos. What we receive does not look like the photo even when dining in. I debated on giving them 2 Stars but decided to be nice and rounded up instead.

I also had the sake flight- which was a great way to taste each of the sake! My partner had a beer that he enjoyed. The server was quick, responsive and friendly. The restaurant itself is very very small, kind of a hole in the wall kind of place if you will, but it consistently had people flowing in to eat. The service was quick and the food was so delicious!
