“I had the Soon Tofu Soup with Kimchi & Pork. My friends had the Bul-Go-Ghee & marinated Chicken. We were all very happy with our dishes and the service was excellent! You can tell they didn't use shortcuts or just put the meals together in a half-hearted/haphazard manner because the flavors were well developed and the seasoning was spot on in all our dishes. I will definitely be back & would highly recommend this place!“

“This place is absolutely incredible. The service every single time is top-notch . Every time I’ve been here which is more than three the same guy has been behind the counter. This is truly a jem in Linconshire.

The Portion size feels like it is nearly double what you get at chipotle. Obviously, this is an Asian style bowl place and the amount of toppings that they have is absolutely incredible. All the veggies are super fresh and they have great sauce. My son loves the mango chill drink. I had a zipper too, and it is a really tasty super thick mango drink.“

The dolsot bibimbap arrived perfectly sizzling in its pot and the bossam was cooked very well. Their stews and kimchi jeon are equally tasty! The atmosphere is lovely—personal, clean, and perfect for good conversation. The staff are wonderfully kind, too.

As a Korean, I often miss certain dishes that are hard to recreate at home. I haven’t found many places in Chicago that nail it like this, but Tang certainly does. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant if you’re looking for yummy Korean food :)“

“I had the pleasure of dining at NEW SEOUL Korean Charcoal B.B.Q., and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for both casual dining and special occasions. The decor beautifully reflects Korean culture, adding to the overall dining experience.

The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Korean dishes, with an impressive selection of meats for the BBQ. Each option is fresh and of high quality, and the marinated choices are particularly delicious. The attentive staff provided excellent recommendations, ensuring that we got the most out of our meal.

One of the highlights was the charcoal grilling, which enhanced the flavor of the meats, creating a delightful smoky aroma that filled the air. The banchan (side dishes) were equally impressive, offering a delightful array of flavors that complemented our main dishes perfectly.

Service was prompt and friendly, with our server checking in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to answer questions added to the overall positive experience.

Overall, NEW SEOUL Korean Charcoal B.B.Q. is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine in a comfortable setting. I highly recommend it to both newcomers and seasoned fans of Korean BBQ alike. I look forward to my next visit!“

“A Korean yakiniku restaurant run by a married couple. A characteristic of Korean Yakiniku is that there are quite a few small plates served with the meat, more so than at Cheong Ga, which is popular in this area. As a Japanese person, they also have beef tongue and yukhoe, which is nice, but the beef tongue doesn't come with lemon juice.
Do you have cut lemons in your kitchen? I asked about it, but they said it wasn't there.
The owner may not seem friendly at first glance, but when you're eating, he'll smile and talk to you in simple Japanese.
It's a small restaurant, so it's more suitable for families on holidays than for large groups.“

“They opened really nice restaurants in neighborhood since its really hard to find all u can eat good quality bbq around Schaumburg, Arlington heights, Elk Grove Village etc.
You don't get to grill the meat, they will take ur order and grill it in the back and bring it on the table which I found surprisingly cool and calm. There is no smoke or urge to overcook the meat etc. Usually its little messy when u get to grill the meat. Just found out today its really actually great idea if mear served grilled like theirs.
You will calmly be served with delicious tender good quality steak in front of u already cooked professionally. The side dish and kimchi stew was top notch. They will serve you side dishes with everything you want to enjoy with the meat. Grilled onion, garlic,jalapeno, side zucchini, carrot mushroom even the sauce and salt was so good! 0 complains! Cannot get enough of kimchi stew. My husband said even their water tested better lol . We only paid around $70-$80 but it was all worth it. Definitely will come back!! Its been so hard to find good restaurants nowadays. They are exceed the expectations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Got the half fried, half sauced whole chicken. Super generous with the sauce, which I loved. Wouldn’t take off any points for the taste; it was solid.
The woman at the front taking orders was really kind and helpful, which made the experience even better.
Only downside, while I was waiting in my car, I saw one of the kitchen staff come out to smoke with gloves still on. Not sure if they changed them before cooking again, but it wasn’t the best look.“

“I was wanting to try Korean style fried chicken. I was not disappointed. The chicken is crispy, moist and just the right amount of spice. The menu looks so good, I had difficulty deciding what to get. I will definitely come back.“

“We decided to give Haewadall another shot and it has turned a new leaf. The jokbal was soft and tender and freshly made; good quality. The bossam was also soft and naturally sweet; albeit not as naturally sweet nor as tender as the first year it opened (I remember wanting to eat the bossam as is without sauces). It did have a slight pig smell but not repulsive at all.
I would definitely go back and order both dishes again.
It seems like it’s starting to build back up the older Korean clientele (which are the best judges/most critical). The side dishes were pretty good.
Service was also good.“

“Let's get the negative out of the way, it's always packed, and sometimes it's difficult to find parking. With that being said it being always full is a testament to how great this place is. The food is always fresh no matter what day of the week you go. This place is by far my top 1 in the state for Korean BBQ because of the quality, quantity and price. 3 people can eat comfortably including beer for less than $100 (not including tip). The consistency of their flavors and quality has been refreshing and we will continue to be regulars. I recommend this location to anyone looking for a great weekend meal, a date, or taking the family out for great food.“
