“It was full of flavour, yet healthy, had a kick, but wasn’t too spicy, and the glass noodles were a perfect touch to blend everything together”

Some noted
I had the Seoul Train. The food was ok. Not a whole lot of value for the price.
The manager, Kale, was extremely arrogant and refused to let my 9 y/o son use the restroom at 8:30 PM when the restaurant closed at 10 PM.
Didn’t have a chance to try the food because one of the employees made us feel disrespected.

“Dropped in for lunch… Seo seo good.”
Dropped in for lunch… Seo seo good! Food - 5/5 I got the Seoul Train and everything about it was perfect. It was full of flavour, yet healthy, had a kick, but wasn’t too spicy, and the glass noodles were a perfect touch to blend everything together. I wasn’t expecting it to be so good.. it was really good, yet simple at the same time. I also got some peach Korean soda and my god that was amazing I want another one right now lol. Ambiance - 5/5 - A nice casual vibe, but still with a nice Korean, hip touch. Service - 5/5 - All friendly people and efficient!

“Amazing Korean restaurant right across the Millennium Park.”
Amazing Korean restaurant right across the Millennium Park. On my recent visit I had ordered the spicy pork, japchae noodles with fire powder and sisameso sauce. I would give this item a 10/10 any day. Best part was the customization offered for all dishes.

“I’ve been waiting for this place to open up.”
I’ve been waiting for this place to open up! I love Korean food. The portion was amazing, very filling. I tried the classic but made some modifications. It was soooo good! The workers were all very kind and happy too, which was a nice bonus! Will be going back for sure.

“1st time and LOVED it.”
1st time and LOVED it. Nashawn (sorry if I spelled it wrong) was so patient with me as I had so many questions as Korean fair is new to me. He helped me create a delicious meal and made me feel so happy about what I was choosing. The food was fresh & delicious. I created my own bowl as I like a "little" heat and it was great! Both my bestie and son loved their bowls as well. Get the Lemon Tea, you won't be disappointed....so refreshing! Thanks for the great food and experience. We'll be back!

“The experience was AMAZING.”
The experience was AMAZING! From the moment i stepped in to the moment i ended conversation with the manager it was clear that this is top tier quality food & atmosphere. The vibes are immaculate to be frank. You are welcomed with good options & good portions. The staff are amazing! I immediately regret not being from Chicago to not be able to enjoy this more often. Im glad i stopped in on my way to the train station though because i needed to feed my seoul! Keep up the great work guys! Proud to have supported this establishment. Ill be thinking about this food for weeks to come wishing i could have more!

“When we arrived, ready to eat japchae, we found that at the end of a rush, they were out.”
When we arrived, ready to eat japchae, we found that at the end of a rush, they were out! We stepped out of line, ready to wait, with others who also wanted the noodles. The manager came out apologetic and offered all of us a drink on the house for our wait. He was so kind! Everyone working here was happy and calm, despite the setbacks. The food of course was amazing. It tasted like back when we were in Seoul! Super happy we stepped into this place! Thanks for giving these tourists a good experience!

“I customized my own bowl for pick up through Uber Eats-it was absolutely delicious.”
I customized my own bowl for pick up through Uber Eats-it was absolutely delicious. Loved the kimchi and all the fresh ingredients. I wish they had a location in my city!

The food was delicious — exactly the warm and comforting meal I was looking for, and at a great price! I had the Kimchi Crunch and it was amazing. There's also a great view of the Bean, and the staff were very friendly
