Wow. This may have been one of the best meals of my life… seriously. We had the tasting menu. And we love tasting menus - have had them all over the world and this rivaled a Michelin star restaurant in Rome (Imago - definitely check it out). Service impeccable. We had a 7pm show to attend and I asked ahead of time (on Open Table) if with a 5pm res (when they opened), could we make the show without a problem? And - they were totally on board - waitstaff were efficient, informative and friendly. Almost everything was on skewers, and I found out the next day (talking to a Korean friend about this gem) that “kochi” is Korean for “skewer!” Standouts were the beef (skirt steak I think) and the octopus but nothing tasted less than excellent.

Cho Dang House does not offer “Korean BBQ.” Instead, it focuses on stews and soups that feature meat or fish as part of the dish rather than the main attraction. It felt like I was at somebody’s mother's house, where meals are made using the same ingredients that mothers have used and perfected as a dish over years of cooking for their families, seasoned beautifully, and with a lot of love. You can tell by the people eating that this was their go-to spot. The restaurant's intimate setting (read small) is calm and relaxed. My colleague and I had a wonderful experience.
