Chong's is the best (and only?) ethnic food on College Hill. It's located just across the street from Geneva College in Beaver Falls. Chong only has homemade signage in the windows, so you have to keep a sharp eye out as you're driving past. It helps to know that she's located right between Pizza Joe's and the College Hill Pharmacy. Chong runs the business mostly by herself. She makes friends easily and there are a few regulars who come in and help her out from time to time. I know that there are a few students who will wait on tables for her if they're around when Chong is in the kitchen. Plan on spending at least an hour if you come in to eat. If you call ahead, you can get your food started or have her get it ready for take out. I usually call ahead just to make sure she's open. The hours are usually 11-7 on Monday-Tuesday and Thursday -Saturday. She has been closed on Wednesdays. (If she changes her hours for this school year, I'll try to remember to come back here and make a note of it.) Her food is authentic, or so I'm told. I've never been to Korea. Whether it's truly authentic or not, I love it. I'm usually there for lunch once a week. My favorite dish is the Daegigogi: Korean barbecue pork. She offers it with a range of spiciness from 1-10 (a 7 makes my eyes water and my nose run, but isn't does burn too much. I like spicy food, but I don't like the heat to overwhelm the other flavors). She serves it with white rice and whatever vegetables she has on hand. Some days it's a cold pile of spinach marinated with vinegar and spices, other days I've received hot vegetables leftover from an order or bibinbap. She also offers the bbq pork as a sandwich: pork on a bed of the marinated spinach on an open-face hoagie roll that's been seared on the grill. Chong offers several kinds of kimchi, but it depends on what she has available. Sometimes it's cabbage, other times it's radish. I don't think it's traditional kimchi, because it hasn't fermented in a barrel underground. But it's spicy and delicious. Ginger melon tea is another of Chong's specialties. The melon is a small ball that looks much like a black olive. I've tried to find out more about it on the internet, but haven't found much. She simmers these little melons with ginger and other spices to make an amazing tea. She doesn't offer it in the hot fall or spring months, but it's amazing in the winter. I always get a pot (for a $1.50/pot how could you not?). One of the students who has befriended Chong runs a FB Places page for her: facebook.com/pages/Chong…

Had the veggie bindaeduk, the bulgogi, and kimbao (Korean fotomaki) and everything was delicious. Ask about the hot teas, the son's special mix was a great choice.

I would highly recommend this restaurant! The tiny Korean woman that owns Chong's is sweet and helpful! The food is great, the service is quick and the location is good. If you like chicken curry, get it! It is to die for!

Great food. This is a very small mom and pop shop so the service is not what you would typically expect from a business, but it's worth it. If you call for take out and get an answering machine....keep trying, they will eventually answer. Also, if you call for take out and they tell you 20 minutes......give them about 40. I have to wait almost every time.
(4)Joseph D.
Food is 100% authentic...Delicious! Small staff so food may take a little time however it is well worth it. Love the lady who works here! Would definitely come back if I lived closer than 1.5 hours away!
(5)Liz K.
I love the food. I love the lady. I love the charm. For me, it is worth the drive. I haven't been there in a while, and writing this review is making me sad and hungry. I've taken a few guests here, who were impressed. If you ever wanted a Korean grandmother, this is your chance. I've had mandoo, pancake, bibimbap, bulgogi, ramen, and a few other dishes. I love the simplicity of the restaurant and the menu. The food is always good and fresh, though you may wait awhile. I live in Pittsburgh, and as far as I can tell, there is no finer Korean Restaurant. (Though the Golden Pig may be a tie.) Wonderful experience every time. She's a local business owner that deserves your support.
(5)David W.
I amend my former review, and beg forgiveness. This food is off the chain! I was angry last time, and it WAS busy. I still stand by my insistence on consistency, but this is not a 5 star joint....just a Mama-san doing her homey cooking thing.
(4)Maria R.
Reminds me of home. Growing up in Hawaii, we are used to diversity in food and people. Was so thrilled to find you! Thank you Chongsshi for the delicious food, which i enjoyed for 2 days! :-).(The portions are huge, I was pleasantly surprised!) Food was amazing, prices good, will see you again! I never judge a place solely on the look of the place, traveling, I've learned some of the best food can come from a so called, "Hole in the Wall". Chongs is all about the food, and the customer.
(5)Andrew J.
What a wonderful lady! You can tell she puts in the time and love into every food she makes. Came in with my friends after a long day of exams. I had the chicken deopbap. Had the perfect hint of spiciness and sweetness. Will definitely come back again
(5)Pat V.
Always delicious! Garlicky but flavorful. Mrs. Chong will adjust heat to order. Expect a wait because every dish is prepared individually. Atmosphere, well, concentrate on the food.
(4)Jody N.
The food is delicious, the proprietor is a doll. It is an experience to eat in there. It looks like a total dive, but in a very sweet, homey way. It takes a little time, so be prepared for that. Everything is good, but we especially love the potato pancakes as an appetizer followed by bulgogi.
(5)Jason P.
One of the best feelings is getting served food out of love. As in, you're getting served a plate or bowl of whatever because someone loves food and (maybe) loves serving it to people. So you're not a dollar sign curled up in a booth; you're part of something bigger. This is a pretty rare thing that doesn't happen at a lot of restaurants. Chong's is one of these rare places that does this. The owner, who goes by Chong (that's not her real name), cooks because she loves to cook and loves to see people smile as they dig into something delicious. Hyperbole? It really isn't. Chong and her son have a ramshackle place that feels like it's been cobbled together out of five different restaurants. Tables don't match, and the place is a constant state of upkeep. (They're slowly trying to polish the place up....slow-ly.) Sometimes the place is packed. Other times, often during the summer, the place is empty, a shame since so many Beaver Countians pass by it every day without realizing it's there. But man, this food is out of this world. Dishes are colorful and flavorful, and the portions are insane. I almost always have to take stuff home, and that's fine by me--Korean food makes for a good next-day lunch. If you're not familiar with Korean cuisine, it isn't Americanized Chinese food. I've seen some people come in, sneer, and exit when they realize Chong's doesn't serve General Tso's. Their loss! Most of these dishes are served with rice or noodles, and Chong piles on the banchan (side dishes)--everything from kimchi to fermented herbs to savory pickled cucumbers (amazing on a hot summer day)! The Korean BBQ dishes in particular are a hit. They're surprisingly simple, too--some rice, marinated spinach, and a tower of awesome meat. Oh, and the sides. Mix 'em together or don't, you're getting some good grub. Jason's recommendation: the kimbap, a light (and cheap) seaweed wrapped roll that's a lot like sushi, just with steamed rice and sesame oil instead of vinegar rice. It's served with some awesome dips too. Again, don't let the weird, disheveled look steer you away. The food here is fantastic.

Took my wife here which is way out of her comfort zone. Great food and wonderful service from Ms. Chong. Food was prepared perfectly and we definitely will go back. Can see ourselves eating here once a week.
(5)Ryan J.
Excellent food! Little hole in the wall restaurant right next to a pharmacy and coffee shop. Ms Chong is a delightfully interesting lady, as the one other reviewer said, she's the Korean grandmother you never had but always wanted. The kimchi fried rice, beef bibimbap and bulgogi are my go-tos and are all fantastic.
(5)Tara J.
The place really doesn't look like much walking in. Its directly across the street from Geneva College and looks on the outside like a combination of Chinese Kitsch and slightly run down greasy spoon. The food, however, was WONDERFUL! They seem to do most of their business via takeout and the actual restaurant was pretty empty. We had a great meal (preparation took a little while, but it was worth it) with all the usual Korean favorites. I don't think a bite was left behind. Japchae and Bulgogi, a nice kimchi on the side and it was all reasonably priced for restaurant food. We got a chance to chat with the management some and they're very friendly. We'll definitely be back.

Squinting .... Not sure if it's considered a dive or if it looks this way cause it's in a college town. Anywho a friend who lives in the area invited me up from 'da' burgh' to try Chong's. I had only had Korean food once and that was in Columbus, a nice bowl of Bimbimbap. I don't know what anything was called since he graciously ordered. First dish was meat and veg dumplings delish with the dipping sauce and not spicy I think it's called Yuki mandoo. Then came the potato egg and meat pancake bindaeduk. This huge monster reminded me of a Spanish tortilla. Super good and savory , it came with what I called super soy sauce as it socked you in the mouth in a pleasant forceful way. Then there was kimchi and bean sprouts . I was Leary of the kimchi because I heard a few people complain about the taste and say crap like you'll only like it if you grew up eating it. Well that's not true! It wasn't terrible at all! The last dish to come out was the marinated ribeye bulgogi. It came on a plate with white rice and a nice spinach that had been dressed in maybe a ginger sesame dressing . The meat was sweet shocker! I was expecting salty or spicy. Everything was good 4.5 stars really because the exhaust wasn't on and it was smokey as well as the dining room could use some tlc.

Very delicious food! Very nice cook! Cheap and lovely restaurant! We go to have dinner once a week! Recommend to have meal here!
(5)Rikki M.
Stop here. It's delicious. A Korean woman takes your order, busses your table, takes your payment, and makes all the food from scratch. Just one woman is running this show. The experience is better than any other place I have ever been to that has a full staff at. This is my new favorite place to go to. After I stopped the other day I vowed to start utilizing this joint as my carryout spot instead of the usual buffet down the road. Please know that when you stop here there is going to be a wait. Remember there is on woman running this business who is hand preparing your food so do not stop here if you are in a rush or want something quick.
(5)Draft D.
Overall it's ok place, if you have other options for Korean or Japanese take them, not worth the drive if you are not local. I wish there was more authentic items on their menu. It's also not always open. A couple times we stopped over it was closed during later in the week. Prices are also a bit high for the quality of food. Service is fine, it's a small place so be ready to wait. Score Food Quality 3 Service 2 Atmosphere 2 Value 2 Recommend 3.5 (+ .5 because I like Korean food even if mediocre )
(3)Seong L.
It is not a fancy or highly decorated restaurant. It is just like one of korean diner place. Not expensive. The owner runs the whole show. She is very friendly. Since It is rare to see koreans in this western PA, she gave me a very warm welcome. I ordered bulgogi and kimchijjigae. I haven't had korean dishes for awhile, it was great to have them again. I just wish it was close to Butler, PA. Location wise, it is across from Geneva College. So it must have some regulars students coming pretty often.
(3)Rachel A.
Fantastic restaurant. It's not a 5-star restaurant that's going to show up on a James Beard list, however it's better than that. It's like going into a Korean grandmother's house, and being treated to her home cooking! The owner is so sweet, and don't worry if you don't know anything about Korean food - just ask and they are happy to answer questions or even tweak recipes to what you enjoy!

Note: I forgot to take down their hours of operation. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find unreviewed businesses on Yelp. Much to the chagrin of Kay who doesn't understand my FTR duty (she thinks it to be an obsession), I fretted over where to lunch yesterday afternoon. Kay's picky, and has had strong cravings for Asian fare of late, whittling my choices down even more. After a half-hour of net-fu, I uncovered Chong's. Heck, as with many an internet listing, we didn't even know if they were open! To our relief, they were, and what a rabbit's burrow it is. If not for a small neon sign (Ok, Kay has GPS...), we might have passed it. We were greeted by a tiny and most adorable Korean woman (her voice alone is heartmelting) and an young Anglo couple from the neighborhood who have befriended her and become her unofficial off-the-payroll help. And darn it I only remember the name of one of the three people who happened to be there when we came by, and that's Johanna (our waitress of sorts). I only recalled her name after searching for and finding their Facebook page. She's a member of the "Chong's Korean Cuisine (is amazing!)" group. I'm guessing it's the closest thing they have to a website. facebook.com/group.php?g… I won't soon forget the marvelous midday meal we had in this unpretentious Korean diner, and that's they best way to describe Chong's. Kay told me that she felt as if she was in someone's kitchen. I decided to go with something I've never had before; Bibimbap. For the uninitiated, it's just a mishmash of white rice, veggies, rubbed-down beef chunks, gochujang (red chili paste) and an egg (!) done over-easy in a large bowl. Johanna, who served us, explained the dish to me and even stirred it up for me before I dug in. It's not often that I feel love when I eat something in a restaurant, and that's what washed over me as this dish calmed my raging belly (we hadn't eaten all day!). I'm really learning to enjoy having egg in lunch and dinner entrees, and this only pushed egg further outside the breakfast box for me. Everything jammed together exquisitely, but the highlight was the delicately flavored beef. After finishing the bibimbap, I was told by Johanna that the meat is cut and spiced to order, depending on what the owner/cook thinks you might like or can handle. I wish I had watched her make the dish as Johanna's description of how it's prepared was somewhat arcane. Nevertheless, I could have easily put down another bowl and came very close to ordering another. Kay got the Bulgogi (sounds like a boss character from a video game, doesn't it?). At Chong's, Bulgogi is also offered as a sandwich, but Kay decided to keep it traditional, which meant it came with rice and kimchi. Our new friend also gave Kay a tutorial, and I of course got a taste. Her beef was seasoned in a similar way to mine. This was my first encounter with kimchi, and I found it to be the most beautifully fermented cabbage I've ever eaten. We were also given a complimentary order of something that I believe is called Bindaetteok... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi… We were told it was "Korean Pizza" when it was placed down in front of us To me it tasted like a spicy potato pancake and therefore got two thumbs up from Kay and I. There's nothing elegant or trendy about the decor. There are no statues or fountains to be seen, but I implore you to visit if you are in the area. If you do live around here, expand your horizons and support Chong's. Exotic comfort food and friendly, enlightening conversation await you.

Ridiculously good. the Beef was sooo tender, and I also ordered what they called the "Traditional Korean Meal" - with Beef, rice, sprouts, carrots, spinach... AMAZING. Will definitely be going back.

Mrs Chong is the hardest working chef/waiter/hostess/server/dishwasher in the restaurant business. Mrs C embodies the one-man band spirit. Every dish is made from scratch. There will be a wait as you watch meals come out of the kitchen one at a time. We've eaten there so many times she knows our orders. Portions are plentiful, side dishes change frequently, and prices are very reasonable.
