| - My partner gives me hell for loving Korean Dramas, and thought I was nuts that I wanted to try to food based on something I've seen on television, but he decided to give it a shot with me, after several months of convincing.
One word: Love!
The food at Chodang is consistently flavorful and delicious.
The partner can't get enough of the spicy bbq pork, he even asks for extra sauce on the side, though upon this last trip it proved to be just a tad too spicy for him with the addition.
My favorite part of the dishes at Chodang, is the balance of flavors. Nothing I've had there has just been one note, even the side dishes (excluding the marinated seaweed). Each dish covers at least three flavor profiles and if you want more, add a bit of kimchi, bean sprouts or another side dish to get a richer experience.
My favorite so far has been the 74 (I don't want to butcher the spelling of the dish). The combination of the octopus, kimchi and bulgogi is wonderful.
When I'm sick, the tofu soups, especially the seafood tofu soup, is how I find comfort, plus the spiciness is great for the sinuses. (Make sure to get it with an egg table side.)
Chodang also introduced me to the JPop, and I have to say it's now a staple whenever I have a meal there.
The service is great too! They aren't overbearing, and they do not provide the snobby kind of Asian service. I've been to many Asian run restaurants where if you don't look like you are from their country they will give you a generic menu. Chodang serves everyone equally.
