Flavor of tteokbokki was delicious, taste was flavorful. We got the green onion fried chicken, it was ok, would recommend the soy chicken over it. The corn cheese appetizer was pretty good. Overall a positive experience.
I don’t give reviews unless I feel compelled to….and I felt COMPELLED to, and this review might be a novel. I am Korean and always cook and go out to eat for Korean food. My favorite food is Korean bbq for the variety of delicious grilled meat and veggie side dishes. So I have eaten at almost every Korean bbq establishment in the chicago area. I’ve heard about this place from a number of Korean and non-Korean people and finally got the chance to try it and was COMPELLED to share how delicious it is. Better than any KBbq place in Chicago area….no joke. I’ve even been to the Michelin-rated Korean bbq place in Las Vegas but I didn’t react there, the way I was here. I was nodding my head the whole time and repetitively talking to myself, about how yummy it all was and the little details that stood out to me. We got the Combo 2 and added a ribeye, kimchi jigae and BINGSOO! I wish I remembered to take pictures before we devoured most of it. MEAT- The meat quality is another level. I don’t order bulgogi bc it is an unimpressive meat to me. But my husband has been here before and told us to order it. This is THE BEST BULGOGI I have ever had it in my life in America. It is sooo tender and they must use real quality ribeye here. I don’t think any Korean restaurant or store sells/uses such quality ribeye or makes me wonder now if it is even ribeye everywhere else. The ribeye was better than a steakhouse we just visited in Iowa that had delicious ribeyes. The galbi was beautifully marbled and deliciously tender. I loved the pork belly…seriously all of the meat with the delicious side dishes. SIDE DISHES- The standouts were the seasoned pickled cucumbers and sliced green onions! I loved how fresh the dishes were and how the seasoning paired well with the meats and rice. The kimchi jigae soup was yummy and I personally add a touch of sweetness to my own and loved how they did that here. It was also loaded with meat, a rarity! The BINGSOO- o.M.Geeeeee. Such a simple dessert b
I will definatley be back. The flavors were distinctive and delicious. I did not try the feature where you could cook at your own table, as we were on a time crunch, but I think it would be a really fun and unique date or family experience. The portions are also big for the price.
The food was excellent, full of flavor and taste. I like that they bring the good out as soon as it’s cooked to keep it from getting cold. The price was reasonable for the dishes offered. Our server was very detailed in describing our food, he was pleasant and very attentive to our needs.
One of my absolute favorite places. They know us when we come in ! Friendly service always and accommodating as well! Love the owner. Always hands on greeting customers and sitting them. He's a very dedicated restrauntoir and loves the customer interaction. We always come back for more would definitely love to see more veggies for the hotpot ❤️
Loved the food, the service, atmosphere. I think I just found one of my go-to spots in the area. Quality of food is way higher compared to other sit-down restaurants in the same price range. Highly recommended!
All right, my girlfriend and I went to kbq tonight for our first visit. We were immediately greeted by cheerful music, bright colors, wonderful ambiance, and pleasant service. Anthony took wonderful care of us, explaining how the process with the hot pot works, and recommending his favorite dishes. Not a single thing about our dining experience which wasn't exemplary, and we will definitely be asking for him when we return next time. Thank you!
Our waiter Anthony made our first visit a great one! He was very helpful in teaching us how to order and explaining everything to us. The food is great and the prices aren’t bad either! We have been back several times and have brought friends and family. Thank you Anthony for the great service these last few months!
We had a great experience! Drinks are good, hot pot was delicious. The marinated raw meat before cooking was fun, but I probably wouldn’t do it again. I’ll just order from the menu next time. The wife also said first time she came here the half chicken was phenomenal. Fried Pork kimchi dumplings are my favorite. Servers were friendly and attentive. There’s a button to call them to the table if you need but we didn’t need to use it. We’ll be back!
It was out first time there & we truly enjoyed the atmosphere & experience the staff was respectful & joyful didn't mind questions Food was mind blowing full of flavor Would definitely go again
