So glad we found this little gem! Very unassuming from the outside yet much flair inside. The food as delicious, especially their fire chicken with cheese and the rice balls.
Service is friendly and quick. Great place to hang with friends or even for a relax date night!

This hidden gem is a real treat for Korean food lovers! The restaurant doesn’t have a sign outside, so it’s easy to miss, but once inside, the 90s Korean vibe is awesome – K-pop posters on the wall, K-pop music videos on the TV, and a great atmosphere overall. We had chicken gizzards, pork skin, pork cutlets, and army soup, along with some grilled mushrooms and garlic. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ and cuisine!
My family and I came here a couple days ago for the first time. The kimchi pancake and army stew soup was really good! I love how crispy the kimchi pancake was. The army stew soup was also the perfect spice level too. Definitely will come back here again! Service was great but didn’t really check up on us often to ask about water or refilling it.
I also love how they play kpop in the restaurant! It makes the atmosphere very fun and lively!

Best korean food in the city, hands down. Such an intimate and crazy space to enjoy drinks and specialty items you can’t find anywhere else in Chicago.

Caucasian pallets beware - the chicken do be hot. Your sinuses will scream but your taste buds will... Also scream, but in a good way.
Also, they were unexplainably cash only at least when we went.
Also also the soju slushie pitcher is LIT. Buy and drink it you lush stop pretending you don't want it.

I recommend the fire chicken with cheese, it's drunk food that's just as good sober.
Great late night Korean spot, really casual and inviting. They play k-pop on the TVs and have big Korean beers to split. The dishes are generous. Go hungry and get the seafood pancake.
I love Dancen! Food is great and the portions are large. We tried several dishes across multiple visits, and everything has been outstanding.
