Mr. TaeHee Lees review is on spot; dont bother with the place. Hes observations are accurate. It is lacking in service, food quality but most of all, overpriced for what you get. I had lunch. All they brought out were two kinds of kim-chee in tiny bowls. Nothing else. For a Korean restaurant, this is not acceptable. Ordered mixed rice. It came out in a bowl that was only half full. You have to pay for "large" portion to get a bit more of rice. Incredible. The place is below average at best in terms of taste and mediocre in terms of service. There are other Korean restaurants nearby which are significantly better. It cost me $25 for two entree as I bought a guest. I want my money back...the place is utterly not worth it.

WORST service Ive ever experienced at ANY business. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, server yelled at us, spoke about us to other customers, and gave us a snobby attitude throughout the night. My girlfriend and I came here before with the same server but thought she was having a bad day that night so we let it slip. But second time with the same attitude? She needs to be let go.. It said "Angela" on the receipt but not sure if shes using someone elses name. EDIT: We tipped her well on our first encounter with her to be a nice even though service sucked. Maybe it would be better the next. But NOPE

We traveled 25 mins just to taste thier food for the first time but what we experience last night was a WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! the lady "ANGELA" was so Rude! She tells us everything what we need to do to our food?! And she dont want us to share our food?! She even talk to the other koreans in thier own language. They think we are so young to eat in thier restaurant! She yells at us not to come back in thier restaurant agian. I tell you DO NOT EAT HERE! Its not worth it! WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER!!!

This place is better than Vit Goal in that they have better (more variety, taste) side dishes. Also, I think the soup portions are bigger and are more flavorful. Even though Korean food tends to be overpriced, and this is more expensive than Vit Goal, I would definitely choose this place over Vit Goal in the future. There were actual Korean couples and families eating there and they seem to be familiar with the restaurant owners. The service was fast and the waitress was friendly.

The WORST restaurant experience EVER!! I love Korean food but the food here is just average. I ordered Nakji bokum, the octopus was so tough we could not even chew it. When I informed the owner lady about my concerns she continues to pick her tooth and rudely tells me thats how we serve it and its my fault to have picked this dish :O. I was SHOCKED!!! Reminded me of Gordon Ramsays episode on Amys Baking Company... Im never going back again!!! TRY this place at YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Went here yesterday, I am a Korean visiting RTP for a business trip. This restaurant found from googlemap with some good reviews. Not at all, everythings poor(Food, Service, Decor) and one thing surprises me most. They speaks Korean with North Korean accent, sure that "Chosun" in "Chosunok" means North Korea. They have South Korean food but tastes are neither South Korean nor North Korean, just strange !! Never think about this place.

The bad reviews for this place are crazy. The food is amazing and the prices arent any more expensive than your typical american restaurant. If youre with a group, you tend to get some extra small appetizers to go with your food, free of charge. The owner is great, she tends to remember most of her customers and is extremely friendly. This place is definitely worth the time/money, my friends an I go all the time.

Wonderful!! Try the bibimbap or the japchae...both are excellent. Ignore negative reviews as this place is under new management with a new chef... they will even alter a dish if you are nice about it. They have a great tea as well- barley tea I believe and the miso soup is super! See you there!

Horrible service. The owner blatantly suggested that we "come back next time" when we asked, when ordering food, how much time it would take for food to come out, simply because she informed us prior that the chef is not available (during open hours!). I was shocked. Needless to say, we left.

We went today for lunch. Its been a long time. Was very surprised when I saw the reviews before I go. After all, we still love the owner and their cooking. Owner is still very nice and food is very delicious as always.. Recommend... Go with group friends and family... Acceptable price! ❣

Crazy Old Lady was serving..when we asked to call manager, she replied that she is the owner! She was very rude, as soon as we got there she asked what we would like to order we came to eat soup, she told us that we cannot order only one meal, otherwise we have to leave

Great food and wonderful service. We got a lot for our money. They refill the kim chee and give fish with the meal. I recommend this place to everyone even if it is your first time have korean food. Dont go to Vita Goal Tofu!

Very friendly family running the place who will make great suggestions to those not familiar with the menu. We had 5 people in our party and party much just ordered 5 different dishes and ate/tasted family-style.

Ive now been to Chosun about 4 times since the ownership changes in 2013 or 2014. Its been very good each time. Certainly the best Korean Ive had in the Triangle, and better than most Ive tried in the US.

I really like this place. Food and service are both top notch. If you enjoy, or are curious about, authentic Korean food, I would definitely recommend trying ChosunOK.

Horrible experience! the lady/server/owner is super rude! The service was horrible and the food was average. Just go to the surrounding Korean restaurants in town.

Food is okay but the pricing is ridiculous. Way overpriced for items that should be half the price. Can get just as great food for much better prices at HMart.

Went with a friend visiting from Korea to get an experts opinion. He said it was just as good as home. I get the Bibimbop with kimchi and now I want it again.
