8 Best Korean Restaurants near Gurnee

“If you're looking for something out of the ordinary oh , my gosh , this is the place to go. So many different choices and I didn't even know what to actually settle on. Flaming hot cheetos is the way to go. I will absolutely recommend this to everybody who is in the area because it's an experience that you will never forget.“

“CM Chicken in Vernon Hills is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere and music set the perfect vibe, and the lovely gentleman who always serves me makes every visit feel welcoming and personal. I recently discovered this location and I’m already in love—this is my second visit just this week.

You must try the honey garlic chicken (it’s incredible), unless something else on their impressive 10-sauce menu catches your eye—honestly, you can’t go wrong. Everything I’ve had has been fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

I truly hope to enjoy this spot for a very long time. Do yourself a favor and stop by to support this fantastic Korean restaurant. Highly recommended!“

“Such great food! Love the Cup Bap with clear noodles and spicy pork. Yum!!“

“By far my favorite Korean restuarant, I swung by twice a week for a period of time, though I settled into once every week or two

Prices are quite cheap for Korean BBQ and flavor doesn't suffer for it either. The store-front is run by a family & they maintain professionality while being friendly

I always got the tteokbokki (rice cakes in spicy broth) and alternated between the bulgogi (beef dish) & bibimbap (assorted veg, beef, + egg over rice) and occasional splurged with the ojinguh bokkum (calamari dish) or the chapchae (cellophane noodles which are clear & chewy). The tteokbokki + one dinner dish typically ran me about $31.30 and fed me for close to 2 meals, side dishes were free

“My fiancé and I loved it here! Very nice and attentive staff! Food is delicious and filling as well. This is honestly the best korean bbq I been to just based off of the fact that all the sides, meats, and staff being great! Its a bit pricy, but definitely worth it!“

“I have been wanting to try Kong Dog for a while and I’m glad we did. The customer service was great and the food was better than expected.
You place your own order at the kiosk, but the staff was very helpful with our questions. The cook and cashier were both super kind.
The only downside was the seating area. The tables needed to be wiped down, although the ordering station and food line looked clean. Overall, a good experience and I would go back. We did take our food to go.“

“I really love this restaurant and come here regularly. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service is warm and welcoming. They even have game tables for customers while waiting, which is a great touch. The place is very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!“

“It’s tasty, but sometimes the chicken has a smell. On weekends it’s usually good, so I order then. But when I order on Wednesdays or Thursdays, the chicken often smells. That’s why these days I only get it on weekends. During the week, if I want chicken, Popeyes is better.“
