Great staff. They are very polite and attentive to their customers. The Bulgogi tasted fresh and the portion sizes are good for the price. The atmosphere here is very chill and friendly. AC is on the warmer side.

“Lunch with a friend on a Friday.”

Lunch with a friend on a Friday. First time for either of us to a Korean restaurant. The server was very kind and helpful explaining everything to us and making recommendations. We shared the appetizer scallion and seafood pancake (size of a 12" Pizza!) and the dakbulgogi, which came with an array of pickled side dishes and midi soup. We both felt the dishes were well seasoned, high quality, and very good. The pickles were all different, none too vinegary or spicy for us. We spent $21 each with tip, and brought some pancake home. The place was almost empty, which was a shame!

Friendly staff, excellent food and fair prices. We ordered the Bulgolgi table top BBQ, the Chapchae and the Haemul Pajun; all fantastic. We will definitely be back!

“My wife and I love the food here.”

My wife and I love the food here. The staff is always friendly and very helpful. This establishment is a modest restaurant but don't let that fool you. The food is excellent. Interesting story, my wife took some business associates to eat here. One of her associates have parents that were born in Korea. The associate kept saying that the food was one of the most authentic Korean BBQ places she has found in our area. We highly recommend it.

“I just dined at the Blue House for the first time recently and was very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere.”

I just dined at the Blue House for the first time recently and was very pleased with the food, service and atmosphere. I like trying out different types of cuisine and hadn't been to a Korean restaurant yet. The side dishes that accompany what you order were great along with the rice which was warm and sticky...just the way like I like it. One great thing they have going in this restaurant is the call button placed near every table. If you need help, you press the button. All restaurants should have this system!!!! My compliments to the owners and I look forward to returning!

“Our favorite Korean BBQ by far.”

Our favorite Korean BBQ by far. Can't go wrong with anything you order but I love the kimchi pancakes and bulgogi and the hotpots. Also a great place to bring friends! Very fun. Try to get reservations or call ahead if you're going later in the night since it gets packed. The owner is is.very kind and always friendly.

“Having been here many years ago, and returning, found that their food has improved, but the service...”

Having been here many years ago, and returning, found that their food has improved, but the service is minimal at best with the owner and one staff waiting on all the tables. After we sat down to a half empty room, it started to fill up and there were not enough staff, not even a bus boy to clear tables. We ordered the Dolsot be Bim bop and the Yuk Guy Jang, which I order visiting new Resturants to see if they are consistent with authentic Korean food. The Yuk Guy Jang was good but much different than I’ve ever had before. I will try to visit again since I love Korean food too see if they are consistent. Be fore you go, look 👀 ⬇️ and hit the thumbs 👍 up.

Why is the best Korean food all the way up here in Mundelein and not in Chicago? Everything is perfectly seasoned, not too sweet, and over all super delicious.
