Tong Tong Korean Restaurant

I came here after recommendation for Asian food from a local, I really want to Asian. Something Japanese Korean, by the time I was able to get dinner. This was one of the few spots open. I was staying kind of far so it was a little bit of a haul but that's besides the point. To start, they are very attentive, are willing to tell you the menu with no problem, but that wasn't my issue. It was deciding on which to get, and is there a lot! To begin, the bon chon had a lot of items, that come out before the main course. The mung bean jelly was really good, along with the potato salad and the chili spinach All good snacking items and then mixing it all together with the main course. The main course was Ojingeo-Samgyupsal Bulgogi, basically squid and stir fry pork. Really good, extremely favorful a very good, sweet and savory deal. Something I was definitely looking for to enjoy, definitely feeling and the price point was amazing. I enjoyed with a KASS beer, to top it off. Was something that paired extremely well. I recommend if you enjoy Asian or Korean food as a whole, definitely coming back when I'm back in Colorado springs.

The staff is very friendly. We didn't have to wait to be seated. The food is fantastic. The banchan was very fresh and tasty. Our meal was excellent.

Food is always delicious here, but service is a hit or miss. I came around lunch time and got some dumplings and the LA galbi which were really good! At one point I asked for more kimchi and the server just seemed annoyed. They weren’t busy and she just tossed it on my table without saying anything. I love the food, but the service could use some work.

Went here twice recently. Both times service was great, they came around multiple times, filled up drinks and refills of banchan were done with a smile. Food was very decent - and would happily return.

I wish I could eat the tteokbokki everyday. Everything was amazing, and the soup was something I enjoyed a lot! Will be back - best korean food in the Springs that I’ve found so far (as someone who eats 99% asian food). I like that it’s family owned! Note on the door (if I recall correctly), says they will be closed Oct 4-12 for a family vacation.

Ordered L.A. Galbi + Beef rib soup with dried cabbage in soybean broth + Spicy rice cake with vegetables and fish cake. Good portion and very tasty. Good vibes and service. Comfort Korean food. A great place to tickle your taste buds when you are in Colorado Springs

This place is amazing! Our waitress was so kind and attentive and even brought us a special tea that we were wondering about. The galbi, tofu stew, and jopchae were amazing. Really good bonchon. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a great casual atmosphere and authentic, delicious food!

My husband and I both agree that is the best Korean place we've ever had. Not only was the customer service amazing, but the food was too! The ladies were both kind and attentive and the ambiance was nice and relatively quiet. We came during lunch on a Saturday and it wasn't too busy. They got everything out pretty quick too. We will definitely be back!

Great Korean place in all of Colorado Springs! Authentic Korean food made and served by your local umma and has been around for 21 years! They know what they're doing. Lots of available seating and great options for banchans. They're very quick and super friendly. No frills kinda of place, but the quality and taste of the food really shines through. We got the LA Galbi, jjeons, sundubu, and bibimbap. Highly recommend!

Really 3.5 stars. After a long long day we needed something comforting. This wasn't our first choice for Korean but it worked out. Their kimchi Mandu is fantastic, we had 2 orders. Their chicken mandu also good but the kimchi is surpreme. We also got their Doenjang jjiage AND their seafood casserole, as 2 people. They were concerned we ordered too much but we ate it all. Their banchans were delicious and all made in house! Everything is home made and it was great. The deduction in stars is the quality of the seafood in the casserole. I understand it's CO, not known for seafood but it was pretty clear it was a frozen seafood mix. I guess we set our selves up a bit too high but considering the price tag even if the seafood was not the best, we wished there were more/better veggies. Heavy on bean sprouts. Overall though it really hit the spot, and so happy with the banchan refills. I could have been happy with the kimchi mandu, Doenjang and banchan refills. Very friendly service, and everything came out lightening speed.

First off, I just wanna say shoutout to the sweet ladies that work there. They served everything with a smile and made sure that I was doing okay throughout my whole meal. I went during lunch time so, it wasn't too busy yet but as I walked in... more customers started arriving. I see why this place has gotten good reviews. Not only the service is great but the food is also really good. I love how they included a banchan with your meal and the beef rib soup (galbitang) is sooo rich!! The kimchi pancake is okay to me, I've had better but the soup!! Omg so so yummy!

Delicious Bibimbap! Love that they have the side dishes, not all Korean restaurants provide that. Service was great! The servers were super friendly and they checked in frequently. The restaurant has plenty of seating and space. They have a few separate sections in the restaurant. The family side is a lot noisier with kids and the quieter section with no kids. I will definitely cone back here when I'm in the area. Highly recommend!

Been going here for years strangely Colorado Springs has lots of good Korean food. I suppose it's due to the five military bases here but tong tong is one of the best.

Best Korean food I've had in Colorado Springs. Got their lunch special of Bulgogi & Japchae - so delicious! It came with white rice and a delicious broth on the side. Highly recommend.

I wanted to update this review and say the food is still just as amazing as ever. The consistency and quality of food they serve is always top notch. I don't know if I've ever had a bad meal here. Tong tong will always have a special place in my heart and will probably always remain in my top 5 favorite restaurants in the Springs.

Was craving Korean food after visiting garden of the gods. The restaurants in a kind of rundown strip mall so I was a little skeptical when driving in into the parking lot. I was greeted right away with a friendly smile from the owner. We came during lunch and they had lunch specials. I ordered the LA style galbi and my husband ordered the pork neck. Meal came with rice, some soup broth, and six Bonchon items. It was a good size for the price and everything tasted really good. The owner was very friendly and checked on us frequently offering to refill our Bonchon. She was also very nice with her little son and making him laugh and smile. Bathrooms were very clean. Overall 4.4/5

A client suggested we check this spot out. It's located in a strip mall. We arrived around noon, and it was already buzzing with customers. The vibe is super clean, and they play the usual Korean restaurant tunes. The staff is really friendly. I went for the Bulgogi Beef, while my wife chose the Seafood Tofu Soup for lunch. The side dishes were so tasty that we polished them off quickly and even ordered more. The Bulgogi beef paired with the sides and rice was absolutely delicious--classic Korean flavors! My wife really enjoyed her tofu soup, especially on a chilly day. We'll definitely be coming back!

Found this place on my business trip when I was really craving Korean food. It's a kind of hidden restaurant in a strip mall. I went on a week night, so it wasn't busy at all. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice - a classic Korean setting which made me feel very comfortable. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. As soon as I sat down, they took my order since I knew exactly what I wanted and brought me a variety of delicious side dishes (my favorite part of going to Korean restaurants). For food, I got the Kimchi Jiigae (Kimchi tofu soup), which was a very comforting and filling meal. The overall price point of the restaurant was higher than most Korean restaurants that I had been to (even for LA), but it was a comforting meal that I needed.

Absolutely awful! I was so excited about the bulgogi ramen. Major disappointment. Very low quality noodles, flavorless unseasoned broth, and may 1/2 ounce of beef. My partner paid 20 for the bulgogi plate that consisted of 3oz of unseasoned beef and a bowl of dry white rice. Service was very friendly.

Everything is incredible. The atmosphere, the service, the food!!!! Oh my! Go with more people and order more stuff.

Typical Korean place. Food was really good if a little pricy. Family enjoyed it. Place is big, so no worries about not having a table.

Food was really good and they had really great service! Super warm and welcoming staff! Ambiance was also great

Stopped by during lunch to pick up food for the fam. Cozy little spot, very friendly and accommodating staff. Prices are very reasonable and food was absolutely delicious. Ordered to go and they even included all the sides. Great little place, highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area. My family and I will definitely be in again next time we're around the Springs.

I spent two years in Korea so I am familiar with Korean food. I love Tong Tong and have eaten there many times as well as ordered to go meal that are perfect every time. You do pay a premium price but you will not find a better Korean restaurant in Colorado Springs. I have so many favorite meals that is impossible to choose one as the best. Beef bulgogi or kalbi and all the sides to include kimchi are my standards along with steamed rice and the soup of the day. The meats are great not too spicy, the sides are a bit spicer, but that is why I love Korean food.

Good food and perfectly acceptable service. Portions are decent as well. So yes I do indeed recommend to others.

Food was delicious . Staff were perfectly nice. Not rushed at all so reminded me of Europe. Can't wait to go back.

The food was so good, Bulgogi Japchae was delicious! The service was awesome, super quick to get out our appetizers and lunch! Enjoyed my Tong Tong experience very much!

Not an expert on Korean food but had a pleasant and enjoyable meal. Beef bulgogi with all the sides. As others have said, price a little steep but reasonable given the variety of the foods. Recommend you give it a try.

This was an amazing find as we passed through Colorado Springs. The pork Bulgoki was delicious. The mandu was homemade and great. The sides were also exceptional. The staff was courteous and efficient. Overall, a great experience.

Horrible customer service! They are very rushy and dismissive! I asked for a simple request the lady agreed then proceeded to do what she wanted and when I said something said okay anyways! Never again. Left without ordering food!

Tong tong is extremely delicious and will fill you up. If you're looking for some authentic flavors of Korea in Colorado Springs, this is the closest you'll get. it's a little whole in the wall but it was clean and the service was great! We got the bulgogi bibimbap and the beef short ribs. It is a little pricey, but worth it. We will for sure be back!

Love their kimchi and soups! Very friendly service who even brought us extra bowls to share, although mine ended up being too good to share!

Food was delicious, service was great and it was very clean. We had a group of about 12 for a birthday party. They were very organized and everything ran smoothly

Interior was decorated perfectly bringing a warm ambiance. The service was immaculate and efficient. Staff was extremely friendly and professional. Food was amazing, high quality and exactly the experience you should be looking for when visiting a Korean restaurant. If you're near the area this is a wonderful spot to dine in with great prices and great people!

One of the best Korean restaurants I've been to in the Springs. The pork bulgogi is tender with so much flavor!

best. Korean. food. ever. I absolutely love and adore the entire staff. gentle, welcoming and friendly. aesthetically, you're at home. bulgogi is my go-to. exploding in flavor, juice and onions. all the banchan will burst on your taste buds. duh. soju available. terra beer. by the airport, worth the drive. music? I leave shazamming at least 1 song to get on my Korean music tip. ok you get it, hands down best restaurant in the springs. enjoy. 5 freakin stars.

The absolute best! The service is great and friendly. The food is plentiful and it is such a nice inviting space we come here every time we are in town and we live in California.

So amazing and flavorful! A must for special occasions and go hungry, you won't need to eat again for the day. Amazing service and knowledgeable staff.

The Galbi is Aaamazing!! The steamed rice and wonton soup left a lot to be desired though. The pre-meal appetizers of spicy cucumber, cabbage, vinegar spinach, and vinegar cucumber we really great. I didn't eat the kitchen as I don't care for radish. When the Galbi came, it was so scrumptious. I wish I could've taken some home. I recommend this restaurant for good Korean food.

We love this restaurant! The food, beer and soju are delicious! I always walk out so full - the portion sizes are amazing. The service and ambiance are fantastic. Highly recommend this place!!

The food is sooooo good and the people who work there are the nicest people. The cinnamon tea is amazing and the food is all so good.

Just moved to the area and was craving Korean food - this place didn't disappoint! My order was take-out and took roughly 15/20 minutes to be ready. The serving sizes are generous! I got the Bulgogi Dolsot Bibimbap which is rice, veggies, and bulgogi topped with a friend egg. This dish was overwhelming (in a good way) with flavor, would absolutely order it again. Of course, going to a Korean restaurant, I had to order kimbap which was pretty standard/what you'd expect. The soup that was included was a *little* watered down but still good, plus you get an arrangement of different food with your order! In total, I spent about $36 and have enough food for lunch tomorrow. Great place! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a nice Korean spot.

Went here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised how huge the portions were. I had the bulgogi with Japchae and it was delicious. My son had the buckwheat noodles and he liked them. Highly recommended.

I've never had the full Dinner experience like this. Got to try so many tasty things. Ate bulgolgi and it was delish. We love family owned local restaurants

Bulgogi was very good. I enjoyed the appetizers as well. Will definitely be ordering from here again in the future.

Amazing food and nice staff. Been going to Tong Tong for over 10 years and have never had a bad meal!

This is a legit Korean restaurant that can compete with the better Korean restaurants in Aurora. The service was friendly and their selection of banchans was very good. My son had the Bulgogi Beef platter. It was a good amount of meat. It was a touch sweeter than I prefer, but he enjoyed it immensely. My husband had the Dolsot Bibimbap. It is a lovely rice bowl that you stir up and add as much (or little) hot sauce as you'd like. My Kimchi-jjigae (kimchi soup) was also excellent.

I have gone here a few more times since my first review. Updating my review because this restaurant deserves 5 stars! The food is SO delicious!!

Great food and service. The place is authentic, so if you are expecting super sweet bulgogi, this place is not for you. Great flavor overall.

Always flavorful and nice amount of spice, if you want more spice you can always ask for the sauce. Friendly service and beautiful decor.

We are from Texas, my boyfriends mom owns a Korean restaurant so finding food that is as good as hers is hard to find. This place absolutely is amazing and is as great as my boyfriends moms food. The Kimichi pancake was crispy, was not heavy, and very good. The mandu was delicious. The soups had great flavor and were made to perfection. The cold soup had a sweeter flavor but it was still very delicious and filling. Service was great, if I'm in Colorado again I absolutely would come here

Authentic Korean food in Colorado? Yes please! I had the bulgogi and a side of mandu. Excellent. Just yummy. The banchan were also excellent, although I enjoyed the kimchee more than the cut veggies in some sort of dressing. They have all the Korean beers and soju if you're of a mind. I was stuffed like a Thanksgiving turkey by the time I left, and I enjoyed every single bite.

Very busy place. But you can smell the restaurant from the parking lot. Sooo delicious!!! I got my food to go, I feel like if I were to dine in it would've been better. Kalbi ribs were pretty good, and the bulgogi was delicious. They also give all the extra sides when ordering to go.

Great food and service too. Bill came to $59. We'll be back for a lunch special sometime. She had the stir fry octopus and I had the bowl.

We have been coming here for over 10 years. It was our favorite Korean restaurant anywhere, and we've been to a lot across the country. Not sure if they changed ownership or cooks but it's just not as good as it used to be. So sad. Unfortunately we will not be back

Great food. I am no authority on authentic Korean cuisine. But I know what I like. Great food, lovely selection of kimchi appetizers, friendly staff, and reasonably priced. This is a hidden gem in S.E. Colorado Springs that you should definitely put on your "to try" list.

Pretty delicious food and very reasonably priced. The service was fast! We had a large party of people go and they were very accommodating. I though it was great
