“My story of getting hooked to this place is kinda funny. I take metra to downtown for work and on the way back home, there was a random girl eating food on the metra, I had to think many times before I could approach her asking where she got her food from because it looked so appealing and smelled so gooood, guess what? Them Mukbang videos on TikTok made me do it, I ended up asking her where she got her food from and she told me about this hidden place located in Chicago’s French Market. I walked about 10 minutes from my workplace in this freezing cold weather and ordered Ramyun for lunch, I sat there to taste test it before I headed back to work and I told the guy (who seems super nice) that I will stop by at the end of my work to get 3 more orders of Ramyun so I could take them home for my family. I LOVED IT!!!”
“시카고 여행중에 한식 생각나서 다녀와봤어요! 양이 엄청 푸짐해서 놀랐네요 ㅎㅎ 그동안 못먹은 한식 K-KITCHEN에서 다 먹은거 같아요. 잘먹었습니다~ 다음에 또 올게요~”
“Oh so satisfying dish from K-Kitchen at Chicago’s awesome French Market (awesomely open on Saturday). I ordered the Hot Tofu Soup (with pork) and it is warming, savory and just the right level of savory spice 😍”
“Had the popcorn chicken. Great value, gochujang sauce not so spicy, chicken stayed hot and crispy until I finished the meal.”
“Very authentic Korean cuisine place in Chicago. To be honest, around downtown area in Chicago, this is the ONLY authentic Asian place (esp. Korean food) that you can get. To second every comments in these positive reviews, the quality of food was extraordinary, and the owner of the place is so nice and welcoming. (She even offered me to have a free soup, because I was walking all the way in the snow storm weather and was freezed from the weather. What an incredibly nice generosity in this modern world!) ✅️ Seating: You can seat in the nice area with the food, since there is a plenty of nice seats area next to the place. Also, I saw many locals order take out as well for lunch. ✅️ How to find this place: To get to this restaurant, enter "French Market" inside of the station(?), then go straight to the aisle the turn right. You will see "K Kitchen" sign there. 많은 한국분들 후기와 더불어, 정말 "맛있는" 시카고의 한국 음식점입니다. 시카고 다운타운 지역에서는 괜찮은 한국 음식 찾기가 어려운데, 이 식당은 유일하게 한국입맛에 최적으로 맛있는 식당입니다. 바로 앞에 앉을수있는 공간들이 많이 마련되어있고, 분위기도 야시장같이 정겹고도 로컬스러워 더 좋습니다. 한국음식의 세계화에 앞장서는 식당같아, 더더욱 번창을 기원드립니다!”
“I have to start off by saying I am a bit biased of K-kitchen. Hannah, the chef, is an amazing person. I have been coming for about two years. Ive had everything on the menu. I have to say, i have never had a bad meal. I truly believe that this is the best Korean food in the Chicagoland area. It's in a food market, so don't expect servers, this is a order and sit, but trust me it's worth it. I could go on and on about the food, but go and try it. You will not be disappointed..”
“이곳 여사장님 인상 엄청 좋으시고 친절하셔요. 미국 여행 11일째 30끼니 중 3번째 한국음식~^^ I love Kimch kimch~^^”
“남편과 미국 자유여행중 열흘만에 한식파 남편의 만족스러운 식사였네요-푸드코드에서 하시는게 아깝네요-시카고 있는동안엔 1일1회이상은 방문할 계획입니다!!^^”
“First off, i dont leave reviews ever, but I felt i should leave one for K-Kitchen. The staff is AMAZING. Hanna & Chuy always have a smile on their faces, and you can tell they love what they do. They've gone above and beyond to make sure the food is on par and the customer is happy. I always get the Korean Popcorn Chicken w/ honey butter and it's never disappointed me. It's an easy go-to for sure. I also normally get a side of gochujang sauce as well & they always make sure they include it even when I forget to ask for it. I can't stress enough how awesome they are at K-kitchen and how much I suggest you go try the food there if you haven't before! 10/10 def recommended.”
“제가 가본 한식당 중 최고에요! 구글 리뷰 처음 남기는데 너무 맛있어서 남겨요 ㅎㅎ 해외에서도 한식당 자주 찾아가는 편인데 진짜 역대급으로 너무 맛있었어요! 한식 사먹으면 가끔은 비싸다 느낄때가 있었는데 이번에는 이 가격에 이 퀄리티? 실화냐며 너무 맛있어서 일행이랑 이거 밀키트로 팔면 사가고 싶다고까지 했네요!! 다른 리뷰에도 불고기가 맛있다는 후기가 있던데 불고기 꼭!! 드셔야해요 ㅎㅎ 불고기 + 순두부찌개 조합은 믿고 드셔도 됩니당 ㅋㅋ 시카고 갈 일이 앞으로도 종종 있을 예정인데 여기 꼭 들르려구요~ 음식도 너무 깔끔하니 좋았네요! 사장님 번창하세요! 너무 칭찬 가득인 것 같지만 찐 리액션입니당,,ㅎ 아,다만 몰 안에 있어서 푸드코트에 위치해있으니 분위기 좋은 한식당을 찾으시는 분들은 참고하시는게 좋을 것 같다는 솔직 후기입니다!”
