YES. This is the hole-in-the-wall Korean sportsbar you're looking for. Hidden in an otherwise passable strip mall, this is your classic divey sportsbar with a deliciousy unique Korean twist to the menu. Big fan of the loaded tater tots and the shoestring sweet potato fries were a fun, unique twist! The tacos were surprisingly delicious as well - perfect mix of easy bar food with sweet and savory Korean bulgogi. The fried chicken was super crisp and juicy, though we would've liked a little more kick on the sauce. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing. They do NOT skimp on the proportions of their gyoza. The owner was very knowledgeable and explaining to us new customers the different types of Korean cuisines he grew up with. Pretty cool. Relatively affordable for the quality and quantity you get. Really loved the low key and laid back vibes. It was something different and I'm glad we tried it. Their rice cakes were awesome. Chicken was on ten. Everything was just very tasty and everything I imagined authentic Korean would taste like. Nom nom nom.

We visited on Sunday, 5:30pm. It was completely dark and quiet, nobody was there and dead. We asked if it was open, they said they opened 5pm. We got freaked out how quiet and dark the place was after sitting down a bit and left.

This place is a hidden gem in a sea of sub par suburban food. It's been on my list for a while and finally got to try it out. Music is great not your typical dive bar music, staff is warm and approachable, and their menu is Korean so you know it's going to be made with heart. I had the sweet potato fries / and chicken breast bites and a side of kimchi. Everything was so good kimchi was made in house and tasted very fresh!! Definitely coming back for a late night cap Kitchen takes their last order at 11:45.

So, you got this place in an obscure strip mall location a couple of doors down from your typical Greek Chicago gyros, Vienna Dog venue. The hot dogs are not on the menu - they are incredible ! They're special order just so you know. The wings are also very good. Crispy and tender. Extreme flavor. I'll be back !

This is a definitely hole in the wall type of restaurant/bar, when I first walked in I thought it was an abandoned spot lol. it was dark inside but all tables was packed. I went for a bday party and tried some some great food. Loaded Tater tots with Bulgogi and chicken wings was awesome. The owner is the funniest guy I've ever met, I wanna go back because I love his energy!!
Staff super awesome but super busy. So service was a tad slow. But the employees was working there butts off so I am not complaining. And the bartender was a great drink maker.

Great ambiance, fun vibe, cool people, good selection of import beers. I started w Knob Creek but ventured to Lychee beer and it was refreshing and zesty! Bar staff were on point and friendly, thank you for the fun time! Definitely, absolutely will be back with my friends.Food was amazing for a bar, we had the Kimchee and pork belly with tofu, it was well balanced and the kimchee was not overpowering. The Miso pork belly was amazing!!!The boys bathroom is also clean and I love the Marvel them. The pride of Morton Grove all 5 stars! ❤️

It was our first time visiting. All food was great and the customer service was excellent!. Not only our waiter attentive but also owner/chef came to our table to explain food.And as bonus, if you are spicy junky like me, I would definately order their Angry wings and spicy ttokbokgi(rice cake) extra spicy. ?
