“Я заказала на доставку суп и Бибимпаб. Положили много закусок. Спасибо большое, все очень вкусно 🤤”
“Good quality meat, good service, they do also have a parking lot but it seems to get full quick. Changed our grill often which was nice. We love Korean bbq so we would come back again. Prices seem fair for the great quality of meat & and for sides that you get. 20+ sides (not kidding)”
“Great place. I like the fact that they use charcoal. The serve a lot of sides.”
“Everything was great, although it would have been better if they had given you tortillas 🤣”
“Update 8/9 this place is the best Korean food in Chicago. Those complaining about the services. Keep in minds this is Korean food served by Koreans. You can't expect then to be the way most places are now people coming to ask you if you like your food while your mouth is full. If yiu need help they are always gracious enough to make your visit a memorable one as far as you nice to them. We always have such a great meal at this place. We come early morning because is quiet. Korean pancake is always a must. We tried the pork bone soup worth every bite super tasty. The lady who helped us this time she was very nice, but I don't care the food is always good.”
“Amazing service food really yummy I told my parents that we got to come back for more. So much good side food like this mago looking frie that was so sweet and if I was a food critic Id say 10/10.”
“This is long time being Korean bbq restaurant. It’s hard to find Korean bbq uses charcoal for bbq. That’s the main reason I came. Since it’s been years for me, menu consists of beef tongue! Must try! Plus it’s a lot of side dishes if you’re not full!”
“The beef, bibimbap, and appetizers were tasty. However, their japchae noodles and chicken were too salty. When we asked for napkins, she only gave us a couple even though there were 6 of us. The roasted rice tea was good. Overall, the bill was too expensive for a meal that was only semi-acceptable.”
