" We were excited to try this restaurant based on the rave reviews, but our experience was a mixed bag. While the tofu soup tasted authentic and appeared fresh, we had an off-putting experience with the staff who seemed uninterested in serving us. They were polite but lacked that personal touch. The variety of side dishes helped redeem the meal, and I appreciated how big the portions were. However, I might explore other Korean places next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our dinner was delightful at Cho Dang Tofu! The soft tofu soup was not only authentic but also very filling. Each bowl was accompanied by a range of banchan that made the experience quite authentic. We were particularly impressed by how fresh everything tasted. The only downside was the service pace; it felt a little slow even though the restaurant wasn't super busy when we arrived. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it, especially for the tofu lovers out there! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Cho Dang Tofu was a delightful experience! My friends and I tried different variants of the soft tofu soup. Each one was packed with flavor and came piping hot in traditional stone bowls. The sides were generous, especially the kimchi, which had just the right amount of spice. Although the staff was a bit rushed during peak hours, they were attentive enough to refill our drinks. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for an authentic Korean meal with friends. We definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Great authentic dishes at Cho Dang Tofu. The vast menu offers everything from soup to Korean BBQ. My go-to is always the spicy tofu soup, which is hearty and ideal for cold days. Though the wait for our meals felt a bit long, the food was hot and freshly prepared when it arrived. The staff was friendly enough; the vibrant atmosphere makes it easier to overlook minor service delays. Definitely a reliable place for Korean cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hands down, some of the best Korean food I've ever had! The spicy tofu soup was an explosion of flavors. The tofu was incredibly silky and soft, and I loved how it came in a hot stone bowl that kept the meal warm. I also enjoyed the short rib combo; though a bit pricey, it definitely hit the spot! The service was prompt and friendly as well, though the space can feel crowded during peak times. Would recommend to anyone looking for an authentic experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Cho Dang Tofu is my go-to for comfort food. I always order the spicy tofu soup, and it never disappoints! The flavors are robust, and the portion sizes are generous. The staff is friendly, but when it's busy, they can be forgetful. Still, the vibrant atmosphere overrides these minor issues. I have noticed a slight price increase, but for the quality offered, it’s well worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love Cho Dang Tofu based on the high ratings, but unfortunately, my meal was average at best. The tofu soup felt more like a standard dish without much uniqueness in flavor. On top of that, my server was away from the table for long stretches, which made for a frustrating dining experience. That said, the decor was pleasant and provided a nice vibe. I'm hoping for a better experience next time if I return. " (*Curated Review*)
