Just okay. Soondooboo was a bit firm. Smelled a bit odd inside.

Ordered delivery and the prices were insanely fair and the food was SO good. Bibimbap was exactly what you’d want it to be. The cafe ramen is so simple and cozy. The extra three bucks for good kimchi was so worth it. Obsessed.
My only asks: they didn’t give cutlery with the order even though I requested it and I wish they gave some of their banchan on the side that’s normally available in the restaurant. But those are small things and this place overall SLAPS.

As someone whose been to Seoul many times and dating a korean we ate here while visiting chicago. They have a large selection of authentic dishes the vibe is very korean free side dishes, silverware on the side of the table and they even have an automatic ramen cooker. Food was great my girlfriend loved the Kimchi stew and daid it was quite authentic.

Have always ordered from here as Chicago absolutely lacks in korean/asian food in the city. Bibimbap is gigantic in size but no flavor. The deokbukki is great in texture as always but the kimbap was absurdly gigantic and the rice is on the outside for some unknown reason… that’s not kimbap then… at least change the menu to say inside out kimbap so folks can expect what they ordered, cant eat it in one bite, its the size of my palm so when you cant eat in one bite and have to bite the insides all spill out, pointless. Sometimes less is more. The kimchi soup depending on the day is way too sour but bitter as well, too much gochugaru. Overall passable when you are craving some korean but not great.

Food was amazing and service was friendly!!! We will definitely be back
food was a hit or miss. some were good while others were over seasoned or needed to be seasoned better. i thought my portion of the soondubu was small for the price and seasoned with too much pepper. they do have self serve side dishes available for people to enjoy which is nice
One of my favorite restaurants. I moved away from Chicago two years ago and still grab Kimchi Pop whenever I’m in town.

The food here is absolutely phenomenal, I find myself clearing my plate every time. And the service? Simply impeccable. This time, I had the bakgalbi, and it was nothing short of incredible flavorful, perfectly cooked, and an absolute delight from start to finish.

On Saturday, I brought in my punchcard and got my final two stamps punched. On Monday, I came in with a full punchcard and they said that they don't accept them anymore. Not only this, but apparently they had not been accepting them for a long time. Who punched the card?
EDIT: Thank you Chef Son for your response!!! I do have the card and would love to bring it in tonight. I really appreciate your care for your customers and your attention to EXCELLENT food!
