This is our favorite Korean restaurant in Chino Hills. It serves authentic Korean dishes including Kalbitang (beef bone soup) and the dumplings. The side dishes are always decent and change often. You won’t be disappointed here if you are hungry for Korean food. The staff has always been super friendly and attentive.

FlavorWe ordered the kalbitabg and the hotstone bibimbap. Both of them were very delicious, using fresh ingredients, and I would definitely want to come back here again. The kalbitabg had meat on the bone which came off easily and melted in my mouth. The bibimbap had a wide range of different vegetables and came out sizzling with its iconic crispy rice in the bottom. Not only that, there was a wide range of banchan that we could get refills on.ServiceThe restaurant was manned by one nice lady who was very attentive and provided fast and friendly service.PriceThe menu items were a bit on the pricy side compared to other foods you could get in Chino, but the fresh ingredients and produce used throughout the menu made it worthwhile. We ended up spending about 17$ per meal which includes some food that we took homeVibesThe restaurant had a clean and modern interior which was accented by light, loungey jazz music which was a pleasant experience

This is a local Korean restaurant that specializes in tofu soup and always provides a delightful array of side dishes, which is a pleasant surprise when visiting. Recently, the restaurant underwent renovations, giving it a clean and contemporary look that adds to its appeal. During my visit, I ordered the seafood soup noodle, but unfortunately, I was disappointed with the overwhelming flavor of shellfish and clams. Its not a great option for those who prefer a more balanced seafood taste. The price of the dish was a bit expensive considering the portion size, quality, and flavor. Despite this, the restaurant is still a good option for those looking for a satisfying lunch of tofu soup.Server was very attentive and always refills side dishes.

Nice Korean restaurant to enjoy a delicious meal. Got the beef tofu soup, and the flavor was spot on. It was missing an egg, but I suspect it was due to the crisis shortage of the egg at this time. Along with the side dishes, the meal was very satisfying and fulfilling. Highly recommended.

A small but friendly restaurant. They have one of the best tastes of the Korean food. They have good soups and best flavors I’ve tried before.

Tried this place on a Friday evening. We got in around 9.15 PM and were the only ones there till close. By SoCal standards, this is pretty slow.The service was quick and friendly but the food was mediocre. The spicy chicken was barely marinated, tasted dry and the pieces of chicken were huge. Most chicken pieces were half cooked and appeared stale. The tofu soup tasted bland too. They were nice enough to accommodate our special request to have a shrimp only tofu soup, but we really did not enjoy the food.Hate to be the first one to review the place and leave a negative one, but it is what it is.

We you can eat out dine in. The food is delicious and generous servings here. Especially, ice corn noodles and meat are the best. The side dishes are excellent, too.! I highly recommend this restaurant. :)

Had a great experience here ordering their spicy pork with the tofu soup. The spicy pork had some real kick to it and they had fried fish among their appetizers.

Friendly Service from Owner/Manager. Prices are reasonable compared to other Korean Tofu House. Pancakes and spicy stews are pretty good but bulgogi can make it more juicy in my opinion. Also, need to ask for egg next time because not giving me this time. Overall, it is good restaurant to have lunch or dinner in my opinion.

I ordered Tripe stew and it’s how it looks. It has all tofu and kimchi inside and tripe. Im really dissapointed because i never had tripe stew with tofu for my entire life plus this soup taste is so bland. Nothing spicy nothing like 곱창전골 I paid almost $40 for this not tasty soup. I can’t believe it..wasted money

A good alternative to good Korean food other than the overcrowded Yong Dong tofu. They have a slightly different variety that young dong doesnt have and the crazy wait.The seafood pancake is quite delicious.

Omg the spicy chicken lunch special here is to die for. I always get it with an extra side of their salad dressing because it combines so good with the chicken, glass noodles, rice, etc. Definitely one of my lunch go-to spots.

I love their food. I gave 2 stars because their staff (there’s usually 2 ladies, one is very nice, the other one is mehhh). I ordered on an app but the order didn’t send through. When I arrived at the restaurant she told me there’s no orders then gave me an attitude or what. I’ve waited there for 5 min (only one dine-in customer in there) and while I was waiting there was 2 Koreans walking in, she seemed only greet Koreans. Ignored me the whole time, didn’t even ask me if I need any help. And there’s definitely some language issues in regard to communication. It happened several times when that lady is at the restaurant!

We had a very nice experience here. We first saw the place two years ago when passing through. We were recently in the area at lunchtime and paid them a visit. Were very glad we did. The hostess (probably the owner) was very friendly and pleasant. The prices were reasonable and the portions suitably-sized. The food was also very tasty. The kimchi flavor was a bit odd, but other than that everything was fantastic. My wife, who is from Korea, enjoyed it, as did I and the rest of our family.We left the restaurant well-fed, happy, and content.We dont pass through Chino Hills very often, but the next time we do we will be sure to stop in for a meal.

We love this Korean restaurant and coming here twice a month. Tonight a braided hair lady was at her bad mood. First she didnt greet us, and then she asked us to sit at a small table but we wanted to stay with 4 table which we always do. She is giving her dull face the entire meal time, didnt ask what we were doing, or did not say a word of Thank You till we walked out of the restaurant door. We still tipped her despite of her unfriendly and not welcoming service. Maybe we had only one order, but she treated another table differently since they are a group of 4. I was going to write a 5 Star reviews for this place, other Korean ladies were super friedly and nice, and food is very delicious. Till tonight, totally disappointed at that server. Feel sorry for this restaurant.

Server yelled at us when she served a wrong dish and we took a bite by mistake. Poor portion that is obviously smaller than other Korean restaurants I have visited. No to mention long waiting time. Surprised how come the business is still there.

This restaurant sells more than just tofu soup. They have all variety of authentic Korean food including Korean BBQ. I have tried most of things on their menu and they were all very good. Highly recommend if you are looking for hearty and healthy meal. Service is great as well and many customers here are regulars.

Its hard to find good Korean food around here. Glad I found Chodang Tofu House the best tofu soup round this area. Im a big guy so I got the bulgogi and tofu soup combo and it filled me up. So many thing I want to try. Definitely coming back.

Service was great. The spicy pork and the ribs were delicious. Came with rice, banchan, small fish, and a salad. Not many Korean places so was glad I found this one. Missed Korean so much I dove in and forgot to take a picture of the food but looked perfect.

Been coming to Chodang Tofu House for several years and it never disappoints.The ladies working at Chodang Tofu House are very attentive, efficient and polite.Our favorite dishes are the tofu soups, dolsot bibimbap and bulgogi. Everything is seasoned to perfection.They offer a different variety of banchan everytime we go, but some of our favorite are the kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cake and stir fry anchovies.

The waitress was showing very bad attitude and blaming us loudly after serving the wrong dish, which is absolutely ridiculous. Food portion is noticeably smaller than other Korean restaurants.

It really hits the spot on a cold or rainy day. I came midday for a late breakfast and it wasn’t busy and the service was good. I’d gladly come back in the future

Flavorful tofu soup, the crispy pancake with seafood and green onion is a bit overpriced but tasted great and the scorched rice bowl was plentiful. The banchan assortments isnt the best but they do serve you fried fish and really good kimchi. Oh yes, great quality barley tea too. We also fall for the pretty lady owners charm.

We just ate here for the first time and it was so unsatisfying. We ordered marinated rib, marinated beef, pork tofu stew and seafood tofu stew. The beef dishes was not tasty. The soups were bland. The side dishes was terrible and when we ran out the waitress didnt even refill it.I would not recommend this place. Were going back to Young Dong Tofu House!

Warning. You may be mistreated if youre not Korean. I came in and ordered seafood pancakes to go. The cashier said it would be ready in 15 minutes. Pancakes were burnt and had to wait another 15 for them to cook new ones. Brought pancakes home and discovered they left half the burnt pancakes at the bottom. Unbelievable. As Im sitting there, all the Korean customers got unburned pancakes. Would not recommend.

Was craving soon doobu so I stopped by here. The soondubu was decent. Was lacking a little in taste and spice. I ordered medium and it was a little bland. The kimchi side that was served was spicier. I ordered the mixed soon doobu for dine in and the galbi bap lunch special to go for dinner. I just opened my Togo and it was bulgolgi instead. A bit disappointed but the bulgolgi is tasty. However I didnt want bulgolgi, I wanted galbi so minus 1 star.
