Cho Dang Restaurant

Always a stop on any trip to Oahu. Packed with authentic flavors of Korea. Meat dishes are very tender. Spicy Pork is more sweet than spicy so don't shy away from one of my favorite dishes. Mom and Pop locally-owned and operated restaurant is a popular stop for locals. Avoid the crowd by going for lunch or off peak dinner.

4.5 StarsFor the price, the food is excellent. We have ordered the kimchi jjigae, bibimbap, and dalk galbi. They have all been very good! For the price the amount of food you get is ridiculous- very generous. People mention the service, but I chalk that up to a language barrier: additionally whenever I have gone in they smile and everything goes smoothly.The restaurant is small, but there is a lot of parking. A quiet, nice area.Honestly, decent food has been difficult to find around Honolulu- Cho dang is a great place for the comfort food I crave.

Consistently still delicious. They still have all day specials such as a meat Jun plate for $12! My favorite thing to get is the fried mandoo! I love their dipping sauce and you can tell it's a huge homemade mandoo. I can't come here without ordering it. There's 7 huge pieces. My bf loves the kalbi and they give 3 big pieces. This location beats the new one any day. Service is somewhat slow since there's one server but she works so hard. The place is a hole in the wall but it doesn't matter since it's so tasty.

Update on Cho Dang today went for lunch . I was feeling some kind of soup since I'm feeling under the weather . This weather being always raining stop raining and windy . So I decided to get their Mandoo and noodles and my wife had their Kalbi .My Mandoo soup was good 3 pieces of Mandoo lots of thin noodles and some vegetables and eggs. The Kalbi plate was soft and marinated very well. I forgot to take pictures of the bachan lol . Came with Kim Chee, daikon Kim Chee, bean sprout, ocean salad , pancake w/chives .Be back for sure , support local

For the price, an absolute 10/10 restaurant! If you're looking for some place super fancy, this isn't the spot for you but I love their sollongtang!

My Dad wanted to eat Korean food today. He remembered where I have taken him several times to eat and asked me to go there today. Cho Dang restaurant is my go to place for a Korean lunch with my Dad. The parking lot has accessible parking and a walk up type ramp for my dad to use. The doors are a bit heavy, but I will hold it open for him to enter. Seating is simple and the aisles are wide enough for my dad to have easy access to the chair. Today, he used a cane. Usually there is only one person who will be there to take your order. Service is attentive and the food comes out quite fast. Tables were clean and our order was taken within minutes. My Dad loves the spicy pork and all the ban chan varieties that they serve here. Prices for the specials are reasonable here.

Still the best deal in town!Say all that you want there's no one that have their prices and I searched...as I was deciding on dinner and it's been a bit chilly lately and it's supposed to storm tomorrow why not some comfort soup and for me it's Yukkyejang which is hot (spicy) shredded beef soup with long rice, veggies, and egg it's the ultimate soup for me. It's been awhile that I decided to give the Kaka'ako location a visit...too long apparently only to see that they've closed so it's just the Ala Moana location so here I amService here is basic no not the friendliest but for $11.50 ($10.99 +tax) it's certainly the right price for me while I've seen fast food charge five to seven dollars more. Gosh what a warm and comforting soup as it wasn't too spicy and had a calming and gentle flavor it was exactly what I needed and since I didn't need any rice she gave me a little extra banchan which was a nice touch and at these prices thank you Cho Dang for giving me that and more.Thank you

The mandoo and kimchee soup is particularly really good. Ambiance isnt great. But i come here for the great soup.

Our first time to this restaurant. Thay are two entrances, a little confusing at first. You end up in the same restaurant , but in different dining areas. We ordered the Zucchini Jun and large Tofu Soup with seafood to share.The banchan was excellent. This is the first time I had the potato severed warm. I think that it enhanced the flavor. The tofu soup was another great choice, It was mildly spiced. The little shrimp or prawns was shell on. I didn't like it because they were tiny and hard to peel. Soup was flavorful and had a good spice level. The service was excellent. Enjoy

I went to chodang for dinner when I was in the area. This place has been here forever and it has always been good and affordable. You get assorted banchan and the first page of the menu shows the specials that start at about $10.99. I got the soybean curd soup which is always nice and hot and hits the spot. And we also ordered the meat Jun which you can't go wrong with. Service was very quick, but she wasn't super friendly. There were a lot of customers dining in at about 7pm but it feels like a spot you eat quick and get out. But definitely would come back for Korean Food.
