It was alright. I got the burger and it wasn't anything special. I was expecting more Korean influence. They could definitely bring on that aspect a little stronger with the burger. The prices are great though! Totally reasonable for what you're getting. The server was very nice. The music was alright. Very casual setting.

I saw how highly rated this spot was and had high hopes. My partner and I ordered the bibimbap, bobijoa fries, kfc, and kimchi rice. The food was just ok, nothing special. The rice in the bibimbap had an odd flavor to it and the portion of chicken was quite small. The kimchi rice was underwhelming compared to others I've tried (k.bbq)

Came here to celebrate my friend passing his finals Lol. Really chill place overall ! We got to catch up on a lot of things. The only reason why im not giving it 5/5 was because the food took a little long to come out. Overall it was all good, especially the drinks they had ! Thanks guys !

Food is incredible!We tried the kimbap, japchae, fries, and kfc.The chicken crackles in your mouth with a deliciously balanced glaze.Kimbap was ??and the japchae has some pep in its step with a warm garlic presence. Both exquisite.No short cuts taken with the fries; these are properly cooked and remind me of how they're often done back home in the Netherlands and Belgium. The toppings are a great accoutrements!100% will be back!

Made a mistake in our order. Waited for the dish to come out for a long time just to be told they ran out of the dish. Nobody informed this until we inquired about it after a long wait. Decent price, but food was mediocre at best. Fried chicken was the best out of all the dishes.

Great Korean spot in Pilsen. Get the garlic soy fried chicken, and then whatever else you're in the mood for.

Tldr: KFC is delicious, would recommend giving this restaurant a try!This restaurant is 90% self-serve so I don't think you need to tip (or you don't need to tip a lot).The restaurant is very spacious, clean, lots of seats. It has a couple of seating to look out to the street which I like.Here are what I ordered:- Jjajangmyeon with a fried egg: good but it lacks the black bean flavor I was expecting.- Korean Fried Chicken (sweet and spicy): yummy! Great flavor and crispy!! It's not spicy though.

Poorly executed Korean and fusion fare. Kimchi fries have no kimchi, just sad cabbage pieces. See Del Seoul for how to do this cuisine much better.

Some of the tastiest Korean food on this side of Chicago! The soondubu jjigae is salty and spicy with a fresh tasting broth. The gimbap was also super fresh and balanced. The kimchi was the perfect amount of tangy, and the spicy cold noodle had a perfect kick + rich sesame flavor. The service here is also very fast. Highly recommend ending your meal with a hotteok (Korean fried pancake stuffed with a beautiful brown sugar syrup). Can’t wait to come here all the time :)
