Cho Dang Tofu House - Irvine

Cho Dang Tofu House - Irvine is located in the H Mart food court at Irvine NorthPark Plaza. I always get the Soft Tofu & Marinated Beef Short Ribs (aka LA Galbi) Combo when I visit here. The combination of Soft Tofu and Marinated Beef Short Ribs is a fantastic food combination. The side dishes served together are also good and delicious. But honestly, the food cost is about $40 including tip, so it is a bit expensive for a meal, but I still come here when I want to eat Soft Tofu and Marinated Beef Short Ribs.

Didnt get to try the food. Ordered and at 6:30 and waited until 7:15 and they didnt have my order ready after I talked to them twice. When I tried to reach for the same order as mine, they said sorry this belongs to someone else which was 10 orders ahead. I explained I never got my order and they said they would make it. When the next set came out which had the galbi and soup I ordered, the worker still said this is not mine. At that point I asked for a refund and they were panicking about my order. I asked two to three times before I asked for a refund but waiting 45 minutes after 20 people after me received their food is not okay. Terrible service

I order to go in this place and the food felt like left overs. The kimchi couldn’t eat it tasted very bad and I know and love kimchi. The soup felt very bland and not as good as it is when you eat it in the store. Would not buy food there anymore. Better choices around.

I ordered beef soft tofu, and it was PERFECT. I’m not usually good at eating spicy food but medium spicy level was still okay for me. It comes with various side dishes. My personal favorites were kimchi and japchae! I 100% recommend this place 😉

We came to dine in on Mother’s Day. The owner was not here today at cashier. I ordered the same combo with a level of spicy tofu soup as usual . It came out flaming spicy! Absolutely not eatable! By the way, I can eat raw Serrano or Habanero for no problem. I sent it back to them and they said to make me a new one to go. When I came back home, I found out they just washed the soup I already ate and recooked it with the ingredients left because it had one shrimp and 2 clams I left there so I know it was the left thing. Can’t believe they put this back to recook !For health issues!! I would never come back again.

This place is terrible. There is zero service; the lady at counter was rude! We ordered a combo dish and waited for 45 minutes before getting our food! When asked why it took so long, instead of apologizing she argued with her customers. She is a nasty lady! The food was also too salty! Will never return again or recommend anyone. They don’t even deserve a star! Stay away from this horrible Korean fast food place!

Food was ok, we got the bibimbap, soondobu, marinated pork, and seafood pancake. Bibimbap was huge, and was probably the best thing there, although it wasn't amazing. Soondobu wasnt that good, marinated pork was tough, seafood pancake was ok. We paid around $110 for everything, and it was for 4 people so the price was fair. 2.5/5 for food. They don't give out water, I think they want you to buy the bottled water. The tables were a bit dirty, but there was a lot of empty tables at 5:30 pm on a Tuesday
