Chocho's, located in the Porter Exchange Food Court on Lesley University's campus, officially closed after 19 years, according to an article from Cambridge Day. The owners are taking advantage of the restaurant's expired lease to retire, the outlet said. 

A sign outside the notable spot read, "Unfortunately, Chocho's has closed our doors. Thank you graciously for your patronage and we will miss you!" 

Chocho's opened its doors in 2004 "to serve the tase of home cooked Korean cuisines," the owner said on Yelp. The restaurant was part of a "historical and legendary" Japanese food court scene specific to Lesley's campus.

"We are proud of what we prepare everyday for your best K-food experience," the owner continued. "Please come by and taste of real Korean foods what it supposed to be." 

The restaurant offered options such as steamed dumplings, kimchi fried rice, bulgogi, soft tofu stew and bibimbap, Boston Restaurant Talk reports

Chocho's also bounced back after a fire shut down the space for several months in 2018, according to another article from Cambridge Day.

Although Chocho's is saying goodbye, their neighboring snack shop Yotopia will stay open, Cambridge Day reports. The shop has served frozen yoghurt and other treats since December 2015, according to the outlet.
