Chodang Tofu & BBQ - Austin

GALBI is my #1 favorite. ❤️ Always great. Amount is just right for my big tummy😅 #2 Seafood soup is my regular everyday soul food. It’s a little embarrassing thing to finish every thing and every pieces of all the side dishes. But I just dig in as Korean. It’s that good. We worship eating 😁 and that free side dish is good but fish bone is a little challenging. A lot of work to separate. It’s your choice to eat. #3 Bulgogi Jabchae was soooo good and it was double amount, even as a big eater. I had to pack the rest of the Jabchae. I feel like I ordered for to go and for here too. Double the happiness☀️😜🤩 If you want to save some money bulgogi Jabchae is the golden menu.

The seafood soft tofu with galbi here is a must-try! My food came out fast, and the service was so friendly. Since I can't handle too much spice, I asked the staff for a recommendation. I went with the 'regular spicy' level, which was perfect for me. I will definitely be back whenever I visit H Mart. Thank you for the great meal!

UPDATE - horrendous service, tried to give this place a second chance by ordering a hot stone beef bibimbap. It took 30 plus minutes to get my food, other food court restaurants serve food in under 10 minutes. In addition, I watched them place a 15 minute break sign out WHILE there were active customers in line that were there well before the sign was placed. I had this happen to me before and we waited 30 minutes before giving up and going somewhere else. The cherry on top? The bibimbap was not that great, a soggy and oily mess. SKIP THIS PLACE and walk over to Narrow 512. Ordered the kimchi tofu soup with pork and egg. Also tried the combo bibimbap with seafood tofu soup. Both came with a set of three banchan. Kimchi tofu soup- Mostly tofu, hardly any kimchi for specifically ordering kimchi jjigae. Soup flavor was rich and packed with umami. Egg turned out perfectly jammy. Bibimbap- Had a variety of vegetables but most were lacking in seasoning. Good portion. Note- it looks like only the hot stone bibimbap has bulgogi. Seafood Tofu Soup- Had crab, calms, mussels, and shrimp. Bold flavor with the variety of seafood again heavy on the tofu. Banchan- Pickled cucumber items were pretty bland only the daikon was truly pickled. I’ve had better tofu soup and bibimbap but the portions were filling for one and reasonable for the price. Average Korean food offered in the Hmart food court.

I got a tofu soup here! I checked with the lady whether it’s a vegetarian one and the lady said yes but I think the broth is beef based… it was tasty but I can smell the animal flavors hopefully they can make it with veggie broth and that’ll be good! They given you a good portion of rice and seaweed as well!

Chodang Soft Tofu Shop never disappoints. The tofu stew was super flavorful and delicious. What made the visit even better was the service especially from the young lady working there. She was so friendly, helpful, and attentive the whole time. Definitely recommend this place!

I do not recommend this place. Please don’t come here if it’s your first time trying Korean food. The tofu soup was the worst I’ve ever had—completely lacking the flavor a proper sundubu-jjigae should have. The bulgogi was extremely sweet; I couldn’t even take a second bite. No wonder they have such low ratings. The food was unpalatable... The best-tasting thing was the packaged seaweed that came with the meal—and they can’t mess that up.

Chodang Tofu & BBQ with new ownership. Receptionist is very kind and friendly. Food quality is acceptable. Food price is overpriced for what you pay. Portion of food is smaller than other similar restaurants. Rice on a combination menu is small as well as the meat that comes with the Tofu stew bowl. I definitely believe food portion is too small for $32 Tofu & Korean Galbi bbq combo i paid. Rice size is as small as the instant microwavable Rice bowl and it tastes the same. Would I go back and eat there again? Not for that price. I think there are better options in this food court.

this place is so weird they sell traditional bibimbap as number 26 but there’s no meat. i’m not korean but when i ordered number 26 i just got a meatless bibimbap and had to pay an extra $5 just to get meat. they do have a meat version with hot stone bowl but for people who don’t like hot food and aren’t korean, they just order the regular bibimbap and end up with a meatless bowl 😭😭 i asked my korean friend and they said i got scammed bc bibimbap is supposed to have meat
