Seoul ave — honest korean in Oak Park, where the Mala Tteokbokki is worth ordering. Technique and tradition show up on every plate. The welcome here is real.

“This spot is superb.”
This spot is superb. Every bite was life-changing from the kimchi pancake to the bibimbap. Truly my favorite meal since moving to Chicago a year ago! You have to try this gem of a place. My Korean girlfriend said it was the best in the city :)

“The food at this place is as authentic as it can get flavor-wise.”
The food at this place is as authentic as it can get flavor-wise! From the side dishes to the entrees, everything was spot on!!! The flavors are amazing and the staff is also really nice. The atmosphere is great and it’s a place I plan to frequent. I have been trying to find a dakgalbi place with authentic flavors and I am so glad I finally found it. The tonkatsu with cheese was also a quality dish. I have no complaints regarding the dishes or place itself. This place is amazing and I am so excited to be back and have the opportunity to try these and more dishes again!!!!
