JB Snack Corner — korean in Avondale. Walk in and you know immediately: this place is real. Straight from the source, no adjustments, and good value.

Food is ok, it's very affordable but the service just sucks sometimes and sometimes not worth the trouble.
Enjoyed some great food here and ate in the socially distanced food court.
I don’t know why others can eat after 6:30 but I cannot.

A true hidden gem for comforting, home-style Korean food, tucked inside Joong Boo Market and reminiscent of a classic Korean food stall. It’s no-frills, just hearty dishes with great quality at an excellent value. We especially loved the codfish soup and tteokbokki. It’s always a treat to grab some groceries and enjoy a quick bite at the snack corner.

“The food is tasty and very filling.”
The food is tasty and very filling! The area to eat is very small and crowded, though. Tables are good for 4 people or less. The wait time was not bad. We waited for our food for about 20 minutes. A good place to eat nearby would be the NEIU El Centro campus. You do not need to be a student to enter and use their facilities! Also, please be kind to the workers they are literally old grandmas working hard ❤️

Food is nice but I didn’t find the place to sit down so I ate at the parking lot Fried chicken & dumpling good enough for homesick Asians (portion huge enough for 2 people)

“Such a great value.”
Such a great value! Cheap and good quality. I like the tofu soup $10 because it’s on sale this week (usually $12)

This review is for the food stall out front, which I'm not sure goes by the same name as the food court / restaurant inside the grocery store. I'm posting a picture that includes their current hours and safety measures for the outside location. Pretty sure some of the items at the booth outside are prepped by the same folks who cook for the restaurant inside. I've never been disappointed by anything that I picked up, though I know some days they run out of popular items. The big steam buns are delicious, as are the smaller dumplings and the Kimbap "Korean Rolls". Their "sets" are a great deal if you want a variety of options. Tonight I was really happy to pick up some Korean fried chicken on my way home from work and happy that they take credit cards now too.

“It should be 5 stars but I give you only 4, because the person in the kitchen is very rude.”
It should be 5 stars but I give you only 4, because the person in the kitchen is very rude. She never apologized. But the food is the best. Please see the image of the woman who should not be there because she treats people badly.

Enjoyed some great food here and ate in the socially distanced food court. My wife and i had some leftovers at the end and to my suprise they charged me a $1.50 for to-go containers... It felt like a cheap move on there part. Food is good though.
