“It was our first time here and the food was INCREDIBLE and the staff was so kind and helpful. Will definitely return!!”
“Had the Herbivore bowl. Their service is nice, portion size is big!”
“Just like the name, food was amazing and had all the ingredients and flavours to make it Seoul Spice. I got bowl half spicy pork and half marinated tofu with veggies, varieties of topping and varieties of sauce on top of it. Enjoyed every bite of it. It’s easy to order and the staffs are polite and friendly. You can take out or sit inside and enjoy your bowl. Cold drinking water and clean restrooms.”
“Delicious, fresh, quick, and a great value for your money. Highly recommended 👍🏾”
“Extremely friendly. Completely vegan option called the “Herbivore” bowl.”
“It was very clean and they server was very helpful for a first time costumer. The food was really good.”
“This is more Korean-based fusion cuisine, very similar to Bibibop Asian Grill in both style and design - but I think Bibipop (while in itself not completely authentic) was a little closer to authentic Korean bibimbop style. I ordered "Classic" to compare and like their chilly-based sauce wasn't really gochujang. And the 'fillings'/veggies and meat and non-Korean spices. Bulgogi inside wasn't too bad, just had a little more 'smokey' flavor to it. The ordering was simple - you order at the counter, and they give you a ball. For those visiting from outside Chicago, there is a total of 11.75% added tax on top of the displayed price, so the final amount can mount to a quite an impressive sum 😅. The portion size was good, however, and it filled me up. It was nice to be handed a hot, freshly prepared lunch. People were friendly and several separately individuals asked how they could help while waiting for my order. The small tables in the sitting area are quite wobbly. There were electrical outlets spaced under the banquette (it didn't charge so fast but better than nothing!) and there is no free wifi (SEOULSPICE wifi is password-locked), but somehow there was decent signal/connectivity from Starbucks wifi. There is probably a Starbucks close by, I'm not sure. Overall clean and neat, decent food, especially for a quick grab-and-go for some balanced, hot meal.”
