" I don’t usually write reviews, but my experience at Cho-Ko was truly enchanting! The menu is humble but filled with classic Japanese fare. I got the chicken teriyaki, and it was one of the best I’ve ever tasted, perfectly marinated with a sumptuous glaze. The ambiance was quiet and serene, perfect for a solo meal while reading my book. I’ll definitely make this place a regular stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cho-Ko is an incredible find in the city! The homemade feel really shines through their dishes. I ordered the tonkotsu shoyu ramen which was deliciously creamy with a layered flavor profile that reminded me of dining experiences I had in Japan. The atmosphere is intimate, perfect for a quiet dinner. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, aside from the fact that they could improve on speed during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)

The ambiance adds to the charm, and the prices couldn’t be better for what you get. Will be a regular for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Cho-Ko one rainy evening and was glad I did. The small space felt cozy, and the walls adorned with Japanese decor gave it a nice touch. I ordered the curry ramen, which was decent, but I felt it could have used a bit more spice. However, the friendly service really made up for any shortcomings in the food. I would still recommend this place for a casual night out. " (*Curated Review*)
