Chong's Korean Restaurant

We have been going here for years and always had a great food experience. The bento boxes are great for the smaller appetite and when one is in a rush. The pork Begolki has been my go-to for years, delicious and plenty of it. Ask for the Kimchi cucumbers, and with a bit of luck, she will bring some. Don't expect the best service, she (the owner and chef) can be a bit harsh, but the food makes more than up for that.

I really enjoyed my experience at Chong’s Korean Restaurant. It’s a great little hole in the wall place with delicious food. I don’t know why there’s such negativity around the service because the owner (I assume Mrs. Chong herself) was very attentive and was perfectly sweet. She even was very helpful in showing my friend and I the best way to enjoy the food and hold utensils since we are sort of newbies. I think people go in expecting chain restaurants experience and that’s kind of a ridiculous expectation. This is a great place, with wonderful food and a very cool lady running it all (seemingly) herself. I will be coming back soon.

I never right reviews but I was reading them and got really frustrated. This is by far the best Korean restaurant I’ve been to. Unlike all of these restaurants other reviews I am Korean. This tastes just like authentic Korean food. I loved place by far myself and my family’s favorite Korean restaurant ever. The service was amazing she does all this herself and in 5 minutes we got both of our appetizers. I recommend This place if you want real Korean food, and not the American Korean bbq places.

Ordered carryout for 3, all three of us had a bento box (pork or beef) and 3 orders of dumplings. At first I thought it was less servings, but realized the rice was in a separate container. There is plentiful meat serving, it just looks lonely in the large space without the rice. It was about half full of just bulgogi meat! Added in the rice and it was overflowing. The flavor the the kimchi here is top notch. The Bulgogi is the style and flavor that is my preference. Steamed dumplings here are fantastic hard to try any of the other apps because the dumplings are so delicious. Sorry no pictures I was at work when I had my food. Chong is an amazingly kind human, and cares and has pride for the restaurant and customers. I have never ever seen her be rude or unkind in fact even when slammed she has never been nothing but nice every time I have visited. I would expect some of the below reviews threw shade and were mad because she didn't play their game. Expectations for a 1 person operation RESTURANT in mind, she still does better than any other Korean place I have visited in San Antonio in food quality. The restaurant takes pride in their cleanliness and that tells you everything you need to know about you are getting a top notch and SAFE product. Its in a older stirp mall and interior isn't updated but its clean and food is great!
