Chodang Soon Tofu - Etobicoke

I am very disappointed at the Beef Tofu soup. The portion of beef is unbelievably small . What beef? It is like minced beef. We ordered two tofu soup and the portion of the side dishes is for one person only. The place was not busy, only one other customer. There was no response when I asked for a check. I ended up went up to the counter to pay.Never will I go back there.

2.3/5This is review on soontofu jjigae and fried croaker take out.It's rare to see house made chodang soontofu place in toronto so I was pretty excited about this place. The place was close without any announcement so I had make 3 attempt to finally try their house made chodang soontofu jjigae.Chodang soontofu jjigae was 2.1/5.It was nice to try fresh chodang soontofu in toronto but extreme lack of seafood(frozen) in my soontofu jjigae was bit annoying. Many chodang soontofu are usually don't get a chance to form large pieces so I wasn't mad about how unformed my soontofu was. However, due to firming solution(salt+vinegar), my jjigae had little too much vinegary flavor. I'm not a huge fan of this as it interrupt overall flavor of jjigae little too much. So I was bit disappointed with this dish. If I go back again, I might try stronger flavour like beef ver. and see if that help balancing out firming solution flavour.Fried croaker was 2/5.Very thin small croaker. It was very good to pair with soontofu jjigae but it was way too small to the point that there wasn't much to enjoy. I recommend you to order one per person.Take out came with three banchans(side dishes). I didn't try them but according from my friend, they were quite good. Overall, it was nice nostalgic chodang tofu experience. Wish the food was done in little more quality but I understand that everyone is struggling with supply and inflation issue so I will give them few more tries to give them more accurate review in a future.

I've been here once before last winter and the food and service were okay. But I went again today and our two servings seafood soon Tofu soup smelled and tasted very funky. It did not taste like the dish I had the last time and it wasn't like other soon tofu soups I've had. We told her it smelled weird and it tasted very salty. She said how can it be that way and that she will have to make the soups again so we should just have these ones. She was very rude, said it was our preference and we can probably not take the spice, which was not true. She didn't replace the soups and stood beside our table staring at us for five minutes. It was very uncomfortable and later she did not come to us when we were asking for our bill although she was being very nice and chatty with other Asian customers. Horrible service, food was not good because they probably used bad seafood, although it was good last time. Really sad as I love Korean food and was excited to have a go to spot in this neighbourhood. Will never go again especially because how badly we were treated.

Tofu related dishes are really good.But DONT ORDER dishes that are not related to tofu bulgogi, donkatsu, teriyaki. Meat were not fresh (had a old meat smell) and very hard to chew.

If you're looking for an authentic tofu soup this is the spot to hit up. I discovered this no-frills, hole in wall just over 5 years ago and I can't go more than 3 months without a bowl of extra spicy beef tofu soup and a cheeky smile from the owner. The tofu is made fresh on-site and literally melts in your mouth. The crispy dumplings are amazing the banchan is top notch.
