Chowon is known for their soft tofu stew/soup. But the thing to know is that this restaurant does home cooked food. Practically everything is made in house, including the tofu. And there are little to no preservatives used in the process. For that reason, most of the food is a little on the bland side but it's therefore generally healthier. The panfried dumplings are crispy and delicious. And it goes without saying that their stew is also amazeballs.
They also serve makkoli which is a korean fermented rice wine beverage, which is also made in house. It is less sweet than the store bought versions and kicks a bit of a punch. I'm not a fan but my friend loves it. And at under $20 for the... 1.5 liters or so... it's a great deal. You can drink in store and then whatever you have left she will seal for you so you can take it back home.
One thing to note is that she is a rude no nonsense kind of lady, so if at all possible, don't ask questions. Just order and stay out of her way. Lol. But seriously.
Washroom is in the basement.
