I randomly found this place between work appointments to grab a quick bite, and boy, oh boy, I was happy I did! Their beef BULGOGI is the best!

The serving size was impressive. I thought I would have leftovers, but it was so delicious I ate it all.

The service was friendly and fast. The space was comfortable and cute, and street parking was easy.

The food here is great, and the place is clean and relaxing. I tried the hot stone bibimbap and soondubu jjigae—both were super fresh and tasty.

Papa bop is the best Korean I’ve had in the Chicago area! My favorite is their budae jjigae (army soup). We’ve also tried their kimchee pancake, japchae, kimchee fried rice, and bibimbop and they’re all delicious. It’s run by a small family with super warm/cozy vibes, would highly recommend!!

Possibly the best pajun (seafood pancake) I have had in Chicago. It wasnt crispy as I wanted but they used good quality big size shrimps and seafood, and thick size.
Lot of korean restaurants these days, just to make it crispy, its very thin and almost has no seafood.
Bibimbap was pretty standard, good portion.
Army stew can be better, they just need to add baked bean and it will make their broth better. And its cheaper than most other places, so it was nice.
It is a perfect small mom and pop restaurant with good service and good food.

great local authentic food! We stopped because we wanted a good Bibimbop and we were not disappointed. The food came quick and it was delicious. It is a first-come-first-serve so be ready for that. The order comes with traditional starters and they all were really good!
The service is nice overall but they are direct which can come across as not nice but we really didn't feel like they were trying to offend anyone.
Overall, highly recommend and will be back!
