“Love me some good tacos blending a Korean/ Mexican infusion. I normally get their fish tacos & their kalbi beef tacos in addition to their seasoned gamja fries. Their food has been good for years; I stand by their food! Their service isn’t bad, you gotta go up to their counter and order and then your own utensils and drinks is self served. Atmosphere inside is dark, but it’s tightknit inside and in the summer, you can sit outside and enjoy the breeze. Overall, really good food always. Highly recommend their tacos and fries!”
“I try my best to make this spot on every Chicago trip. It's hard to find good hot stone back home and this one always hits the spot. Greatly in part to its affordability for the area. I also love the variety and combinations that they provide. Making every visit a warm highlight. Tho I can get busy, you might have trouble finding seating for any party larger than 2. I went solo and was lucky to find the last open 2 top. Lastly, I know some people aren't big fans of the counter ordering-then delivery style. Just things to be aware of to plan accordingly.”
“Delicioso! Bibibbob was supreme, the wings unbeatable and the shrimp tacos out of this world”
“This place serves Korean street food at its best. Whether you are already in the Lincoln Park neighborhood or coming from farther away, it is absolutely worth the stop. The food is high quality, flavorful, and offered at great prices, making it an easy spot to recommend. There is plenty of seating inside, so dining in feels comfortable and relaxed. The counter service is fast, friendly, and welcoming, which makes the overall experience even better. Great customer service, delicious food, and a fun atmosphere all come together here. Highly recommend.”
“We had the shrimp tacos, bulgogi Bahn mi, and kimchi fries. All 3 were great, but the shrimp tacos stood out. I'd probably get the shrimp bahn mi next time. The hot sauce is super good as well”
“The food is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. I ate a fish taco, which was delicious. I also recommend the BBQ chicken wings. Make sure everyone arrives together because you can't order if someone is missing. They deliver your food, but you are responsible for clearing your table after you're done. One of the ladies there is very friendly and helpful. However, there was another person who gave me an attitude when I placed my order and seemed to be staring at me the whole time, which made me feel a little uncomfortable. Despite that, I hope I can come back soon to try it again.”
“It is such a testament to a restaurant when the quality stays high year after year, especially in a busy area like Lincoln Park. Here is that updated review for Del Seoul: Del Seoul is a staple of my Chicago trips and I make it a point to stop here almost every other time I am in the city. This is likely my second review for this spot but I always think it is important to highlight that the food has remained remarkably consistent over the years. As one of my absolute favorite Korean spots it never misses the mark because the Bulgogi is served sizzling hot upon arrival and the Bi Bim Bop is a complete favorite of mine. Located in the heart of Lincoln Park the shop is usually incredibly busy but they have a great system in place where you simply order take a number and find a seat. It is an efficient and delicious experience that keeps me coming back every chance I get.”
“Hotpot bibimbap, pan-fried dumplings, and kids bbq plate with beef”
