15 Best Korean Restaurants near Hanover Park

“I'll say service is slow but for a good reason. Once younplace your order it's a wait but the food was delicious. The kids got corn dogs and cheese fries they enjoyed. The wife and I got a beef fried rice and garlic honey wings both amazing ... I'd come back definitely.“

“Fanflippintastic this place is. Love Korean food so I was looking at places that'll serve solo customers. After reading reviews, I chose this spot. I was a little nervous going in because plenty of korean places only allow a party of 2 minimum and some that allow singles, treat those single customers much differently than parties. But not this place. They greeted me warmly and made sure to keep checking in on me from time to time. They gave me free food to try right when they brought my meat order to be grilled. Had a lovely conversation with one of the staff and gave a great tip. I paid in cash so they gave me a delicious ice cream. Ive got to say that is was also super fantastic along with everything I ordered. I even ordered Tteokbokki to go.“

“Randomly found this restaurant on google maps driving from the city to burbs in search for a place that makes jjajangmyun, my mom’s favorite. Ordered a bunch of items and picked up. Sat inside to wait for them to finish my order and I loved the small mom and pop random design, comfortable feel. Food - Everything was delicious. Price - very reasonable for what you get. I’d have to argue the best jjajangmyun in Chicago - I mixed the kan-jjajang and jjajangmyun together. This will be the go to spot to pick up for me whenever I head to the suburbs. 🚀🙏“

“Yummm! Was looking for a good place to eat nearby and came here based on the reviews--it did not disappoint! We got the corn cheese, budae jigae, and modeum suyuk. Everything was very tasty! There are a lot more things on the menu I'd like to try, but we stuffed ourselves full and still had leftovers.

Bonus points for the private booth seating and will definitely come here again for karaoke (and dessert) at some point.“

“This is my second time coming to CM Chicken, and it never fails to disappoint! I’ve been to other locations, but this is the definitely the best. The staff members are very nice and accommodating, and the food tastes great! My personal favorites are the Soy Garlic Green Onion Chicken and Curry Tikku Chicken. The space is large and good for groups of any size. Came here for a New Years Party, and everyone had a great experience!“

“It taste the best 🍱🍚🦐😋 recommended even if I have to drive 25 minutes 😁“

“Food is fantastic. For sure one of our favorite restaurants“

“Amazing food 😋 😍 very nice place and very friendly people“

“This place is so good not only did i leave a Google review, but now a Facebook one as well. Hands down the best KBBQ place around. The food is so good. All the meats are amazing even the vegetable sides are delicious. The owners are so nice and sweet it makes you feel like you're eating this world class meal in a family members home. Cant wait to go back!“

“We had been looking for halal Korean food for a long time. It’s very hard to find in our city, so we drove 40 minutes to come here because it’s fully halal and our friends recommended it. They said the japchae is very good and similar to our traditional glass noodle salad.

They have a digital menu, so you can order by yourself. But we asked the waiter to take our order because we wanted one dish without salad.
Here’s what we ordered:

Japchae – 10/10
Very delicious, especially when it’s warm. It became our favorite. I would definitely come back just for this dish.

Chicken Katsu – 8/10
Crispy and thin chicken with white steamed rice. Very tasty.

Spicy Beef Soup – 10/10
The broth was clear and flavorful. No eggs and no tofu, which I liked. Very good.

Fried wings in honey & pineapple sauce – 8/10
The sauce was really good. Chicken was soft and tender. Maybe it would be even better if the sauce soaked more into the chicken.

Bubble tea (cheesecake) – 9/10
Not too sweet, which is nice. But the cheesecake flavor was not very strong.

About the service:
Honestly, we were confused about the 15% service charge. The waiter asked us to pay right away when we ordered — and the service charge was already included. This was before we even got our food and before any real service happened.

He only brought the food to the table. He didn’t refill water, didn’t check on us, didn’t ask if everything was okay, and didn’t ask if we needed anything else. No one came to our table during the meal.

We don’t mind tipping at all. We would have left $20–25 anyway. But adding the service charge automatically before actually serving us felt a little strange.

But the guy was very kind, but the service…

Overall, I still recommend this place. The food is really good, especially the japchae. We will come back for sure.“

“I was wanting to try Korean style fried chicken. I was not disappointed. The chicken is crispy, moist and just the right amount of spice. The menu looks so good, I had difficulty deciding what to get. I will definitely come back.“

“Food is amazing quality, service is always fast and everyone has been super nice every time myself or someone from my work picks up food for our lunch breaks!
