336 Korean BBQ — among the best korean in Niles. The food tastes like it should, with no compromises. Ask questions, the staff has answers, and moves fast. "The beef brisket and pork belly were incredibly fresh and flavorful" — Youlin Michael Li

“The king kalbi and pork galbi were delicious, you can cook the bone too”
“We finally got a chance to try this place, this has been on my radar for awhile.”
We finally got a chance to try this place, this has been on my radar for awhile. After reading some recent reviews, I want to clarify that they speak English here, people. Smh. They do have a good amount of parking here. It’s not huge but you should be able to find a spot. The actual restaurant is big so finding a table is not a problem. We got seated almost immediately. They do have a button on the wall to call for service when you are ready. We ordered king kalbi, pork jowl, pork galbi, and seafood pancake. They have vegetable soybean paste stew that comes automatically with your meal. For banchan they have about 10 dishes including lettuce and salad. Yes they are refillable, you just have to ask. Everything tasted good. The seafood pancake was fully cooked. Please see picture. The pork jowl was juicy and a little fatty. It went well with the mushroom and onion. The king kalbi and pork galbi were delicious, you can cook the bone too. There is still meat on there. Service was very attentive, they checked up on us often and got us everything that we needed. I like this one better than Jin Soo.

“We had an amazing experience at 336 Korean BBQ.”
We had an amazing experience at 336 Korean BBQ! The beef brisket and pork belly were incredibly fresh and flavorful, especially the wet-aged cuts that grilled perfectly at the table. The staff was attentive and fast, helping us BBQ and making sure we had everything we needed. The side dishes and kimchi fried rice were delicious and authentic, and the whole meal felt greasy, tasteful and satisfying. One of the best Korean BBQ spots in the area—highly recommended! ⸻

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Chicagoland area.”
This is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Chicagoland area. The pork jowls are to die for. The side dishes are very palatable. They are neither too spicy or to sour. Whether its their soup or side dishes, they are all seasoned In a very balanced way. The service is also great. Bbq trays are changed frequently, everything is nice and clean and they help you cook the meat too. The price is crazy good for the quality of food you get.

“The place was very clean and spacious.”
The place was very clean and spacious. We ordered Marinated Kalbi boneless short ribs, thin sliced beef brisket, vegetable soybean paste and cold noodles. Overall foods are good. The service was very good. Price is kind of high. We are ok to visit here once. We were the first customers for the lunch. By the time we left, there were total of 5 tables including us.

“Small Korean Bbq restaurant with a majority of pork choices, accents in delicious savory red meats.”
Small Korean Bbq restaurant with a majority of pork choices, accents in delicious savory red meats. My personal favorite was kalbi. Extremely juicy and flavorous short rib, marinated to perfection. Very friendly server assisted us with the menu and took a great care of us. P.S Thank you for the unforgettable experience. We will see you soon!

Bring my whole family over there to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Food is really good quality. Especially the pork. And the service is super, all the staff are very friendly. Especially a senior lady who is very nice and considerate. The restaurant looks very new and clean, well decorated.

“Tucked away in a tiny strip mall on busy Golf Road, one could easily drive by this place and never notice.”
Tucked away in a tiny strip mall on busy Golf Road, one could easily drive by this place and never notice. Once inside, however, 336 offers exceptionally clean, well designed atmosphere with even better array of grilled meat. Service is also outstanding and attentive. They heavily promote Berkshire pig and it did not disappoint. Being able to grill it on the table makes the experience even better. One of the best Korean BBQ experiences in the area. Highly recommended.

The ruins of this scene, in truth, signify that we have just concluded an exceptionally successful dinner, leaving us in a state of pure happiness. Across Chicago and its suburbs, I dare to proclaim, in the name of every dining experience I have ever had, that this is the finest Korean restaurant, the pinnacle of K-BBQ. The quality of the meat is pristine, and the array of banchan enhances this rich, orchestral feast with even greater beauty and depth. Moreover, the servers’ grace and skill in attending to guests are nothing short of masterful..... The sheer delight of my palate and spirit has swept away a week’s worth of workplace burdens, frustrations, and sorrows...... I do not wish for this place to evolve. I never will. PLEASE PRESERVE it just as it is—perfect in its present state!!!!!!! 감사합니다 진짜 잘 먹었습니다.
