“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Chicago. It is truly one of the best vegan restaurants, offering food that is both exceptionally healthy and delicious. The ambiance is calm, making the entire dining experience as comforting as the food itself. The staff is warm and friendly, and Chef Bill is kind and welcoming. My favorite dish here is zesty noodles mild with wheat noodles. The kimchi noodle soup and the noodles and pancakes are also among my favorites. The portions are generous and very filling, so you definitely leave satisfied. The mandoo vegan dumplings were also excellent. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants and a must visit. Update : Recently tried Jade Maki Sushi with Avocado, cucumber, spinach and it was too good. Sunset Smoothie was also very refreshing.”

“Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and packed with fresh, crisp vegetables. We were particularly impressed by the savory vegetable pancakes, which were cooked to perfection and paired beautifully with the dipping sauce. The portions were generous and felt like a truly hearty meal. We loved the beautiful presentation, especially the way the sesame seeds were sprinkled over the noodles. We will definitely be back soon.”

“I just moved back to Chicago a few months ago but Amitabul is slowly but surely becoming my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious and I love how they incorporate wellness and spirituality. I’ll be back.”

“Amazing! I was itching to try at least one vegan spot while we visited the city and this one came highly recommended! I got the ginger apple juice, the tofu miso soup, and the Buddha Bop and my husband got green tea and a dumpling soup and everything was delicious! We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Chicago!”

“This place is incredible. It's the only place where we tried the whole menu. Chef Bill's meals are so healthy and delicious at the same time. You can also purchase the best kimchi that he makes in small batches.”

“Wonderful vegan Korean food. The best place for eating a balanced whole food diet. The staff are very friendly and the environment of the restaurant is magical. This place cured my depression, my sciatica, and my receding hair line! Your experience may vary, but I cant emphasize enough how wholesome and delicious the food here is.”

“Wonderful food, beautiful vibe, traveled 30 minutes to get there and it was worth it.”

“Love having everyone get together. We had 12 people for Christmas 🎁 family luncheon. When you stop in, and place your order...tell them Joe sent you...they will say Joe Who...that's Me.”

“So many unique and tasty vegan options! Very friendly staff, including chef Bill who goes around greeting people and helps give recommendations. I had one of the soups and it really hit the spot!”

“This is our second time visiting this restaurant. The vibe is so calm and the food is delicious. It's very healthy and it's so nice to find vegan korean conscious food in Chicago. Highly recommend. We had the Amitabul special Yin Yang and the Dr. K health soup. The portion size is also good”

“It was such a welcoming environment that is genuinely committed to veganism. Their tofu miso was the best I have ever had and their red bean cake was perfect, I had ordered carry out and it was ready so quickly! I was also happy to see an air purifier up by the cashier station making sure we are kept healthy in all ways!”
