Quick disclosure... I grew up in a Korean house, eating my Mom's amazing cooking. Also, I lived in Denver for quite some time. Which has an abnormally high Korean population with awesome Korean restaurants. So, I realize that my bar for Korean food is set really high.
I'm super disappointed that I couldn't give Cho Won Garden more stars. I really wanted it to be awesome. Korean food is awesome when it is executed well. The flavors are diverse, intense, and exciting. Korean BBQ is a fun and unique experience. Cho Won couldn't deliver on any of those counts. Bland kimchee & dwaeji bulgogi... Really!! Bland is the last word that should describe kimchee & dwaeji bulgogi (spicy pork)! The broth of the mandoo duk soup was straight up msg flavor. Not the complex beefy broth that it should be.
Service was fine. Like many Korean restaurants, they had the doorbell to call a server over when you needed them. Which means they won't come and check on your regularly. Don't be afraid to use it!
Bland. Boring. Far from authentic... Please don't let Cho Won be how you judge Korean food. I won't be back.
