50 Best Korean Restaurants near Lincolnshire

“Grabbed a bop bowel for dinner here and it’s hands down one of the best I’ve had. I had a great serving of veggies, chicken, and sauce. You have to grab the fresh kimchi with your meal because it’s spicy good. My son had a bowel with beef and from the very first taste he said this place is so good…give them a review.“

“One of the best sushi spots in the suburbs 😍“

“great place to eat, very good service and very large portions. loved it here“

“The service at CM Chicken was absolutely amazing! The staff was so attentive and friendly. Our server (or maybe the manager) noticed we might need a phone stand and brought one to us without even being asked — such a thoughtful gesture! The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Everything about this place was perfect — great food, great service, and a very warm atmosphere. Definitely coming back again! 💛🍗“

“First snowy day in Chicago made me crave sseolangtang! Tang means soup in Korean. It was amazing. Not the best I have had but hit the spot. We also got kimchi jigae. And seafood pancake. My only slight criticism was their kimchi. Not spicy enough but I think they cater to Americans as well. It was worth the drive from west suburbs“

I took my son’s challenge and tried the red hot chicken. It was absolutely delicious! Thank you for the wonderful dining experience. :-)“

“What do I say??? This is my husband and i’s FAVORITE spot to eat. We drive hours to eat here and their staff is the BEST!
Feels really homey and comfortable in here great music and the best chicken I’ve ever had in my life!

We will always come back!

“Went in and love that its pet friendly. Had a good variety of hot dogs that I havent seen in other places, sandwiches and burgers, and bowls. I had the lemongrass grilled chicken bowl over rice. So good and unique flavors. The fries were crispy and delicious. Definitely returning with the pup.“

“Great food- meats , sides dishes could’nt ask for more. Service excellent . We loved the decore.“

“Went in with my family and tried Korean food for the first time and didn’t know what to order. It didn’t matter, the food was too good and our server was very hospitable. Left him a good tip and it’s well deserved! Definitely would recommend 😁“

“Always amazing food and super nice owners“

“I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place. Both times I’ve gone, I’ve had amazing experiences. I highly recommend the yangji seolleongtang! :) I prefer it to the galbi tang. It’s a much milder broth and is still very filling.“

“Fabulous and authentic! The staff were kind and helpful with recommendations and explaining the menu. I settled on a noodle dish. It was a large portion, very fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed the fresh packaged to-go items and took some snacks for later. Friendly and casual atmosphere. Easy parking.“

“Blue House Korean BBQ delivered an excellent meal from start to finish. My absolute favorite was the Kimchi Pajun Spicy—a perfectly fried kimchi pancake served with a flavorful soy dipping sauce. Crispy on the outside, packed with bold flavor inside—truly a standout dish.

The overall dining experience was fantastic. The staff was friendly and attentive, and I really appreciated the call button at the table, which made it easy to request assistance without interrupting our conversation or meal.

One clever detail I loved: napkins were conveniently stored on the ledge by the table, so we could grab more whenever we needed—no need to ask!

Great food, great service, and thoughtful touches throughout. Highly recommend!“

“Our go to restaurant.. the. best kimchi ever 😊“

“I’m so happy for that they’re bringing back their original taste, quality and also upgraded menu. New recipes are so yum. Really good. Our whole family loves this place. Also the owner lady’s service is lovely ☺️
If you craving something like sweet and spicy, I highly recommend this one. I love their Tteokbokki, original wings, my kids love their bibimbap, original chicken burger, fries and of course their boba drinks. I can promise their whole menu is so yum 😋.“

“The view at this place is great! After a graduation celebration with family, we went here to have another round of drinks and party even more. We got some juicy fried chicken and a huge egg omelette. It paired well with our beers and it was just great night“

“My husband and I we are KOREAN BBQ lovers and today we enjoyed the most delicious BBQ dinner in Chicago area, very good and delicious menu, nice and friendly service. We definitely recommend BBQ GARDEN to all our family and friends.“

“This restaurant has the best rose tteokbokki I've ever had! The bulgogi and ramen are also delicious! The staff is very patient and will guide you through your menu selections. If you don't like your food too spicy, they will also adjust it to your liking. Very cute spot. Wonderful for date night.“

“Had a great mini reunion with 2 surgical unit NSUH! Everything was good to parking, food, ambience and karaoke!“

“I had the Soon Tofu Soup with Kimchi & Pork. My friends had the Bul-Go-Ghee & marinated Chicken. We were all very happy with our dishes and the service was excellent! You can tell they didn't use shortcuts or just put the meals together in a half-hearted/haphazard manner because the flavors were well developed and the seasoning was spot on in all our dishes. I will definitely be back & would highly recommend this place!“

“We decided to give Haewadall another shot and it has turned a new leaf. The jokbal was soft and tender and freshly made; good quality. The bossam was also soft and naturally sweet; albeit not as naturally sweet nor as tender as the first year it opened (I remember wanting to eat the bossam as is without sauces). It did have a slight pig smell but not repulsive at all.
I would definitely go back and order both dishes again.
It seems like it’s starting to build back up the older Korean clientele (which are the best judges/most critical). The side dishes were pretty good.
Service was also good.“

“First time having Korean BBQ. I could not have a gone to a better place! Everything was so good! The severs are very attentive and were very nice! Enjoyed my meal!“

“10/10 will come back next year.“

“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.“

“I have spent 4 months in South Korea and was luckily able to experience and enjoy authentic KBBQ during that time. Since then, this restaurant has been the only one in the Chicagoland area that has been able to, not only match, but exceed my expectations. The food is authentic and super yummy (a solid 12 on a scale of 1-10). The customer service is beyond expectation and the atmosphere is perfect as well. I would absolutely recommend to anyone. I have been here on multiple occasions and I have had a fantastic experience every single time. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! If I had the money to eat here every single day, I would. 최고입니다!!“

“This place is so adorable I love it so much! I had the spicy beef kimchi bowl and it was incredible. My partner got a tonkontsu bento box and they were also very happy. The tea is also delicious, and the staff are super friendly! If you're ever in the Glenview area I would highly recommend, 5 stars all around.“

“GREAT RESTAURANT

The food is traditional and authentic. There are a lot of delicious menu options. The atmosphere is also great, and the interior design is in a traditional Korean style. This place has been around for a while, and they know what they’re doing.

There’s also a karaoke lounge in the back with varying prices. It’s not the best karaoke spot but they have most recent songs available.“

“The best coffee shop in Highland Park/Deerfield area! Best customer service and perfect atmosphere for work meeting, reading a book or grabbing coffee with a friend!“

“Absolutely amazing Korean food. The owner and the atmosphere are great. I had driven by this place countless times and had no idea that it was anything special -- it is.“

“Great Korean BBQ food! If you want to pick up it’s only 10 min wait. The menu has variety of options!
The sitting are is clean and peaceful!
And the best part 😀 it’s convenient to great gym 10.40.10 where you can feel your best!“

“delicious food, cozy place and friendly staff“

“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“The food is delicious and staff is very welcoming. Great vibe to relax and visit with your friends. I come here every time I'm in the area.“

“Service was impeccable and the food is sooo good. We ordered hangover soup, both squid and beef stone bowl bibimbap, ttokbokki, chicken fried rice, and the mandu. I'll definitely be recommending this place to my friends and look forward to my next visit. :)“

“Everything tasted amazing food and drinks were very fresh ,my favorite drink is boba tea“

“Good food. Will recommend the place to our friends.“

“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.“

“Great food and atmosphere. The chicken is always crispy and tastes delicious even after 20+ min, but the corn dogs are the best part. Esp sweet potato with plant based sausage 😋 all the employees are friendly too. Seeing them puts a smile on my face. Highly recommend at least once!“

“The best food around!
I am a FAN of chinese food, but no where around suburbs and chicago will you find such FRESH food! Veggies are perfectly done, meat is perfectly cooked! Sauce is amazing taste! I had their Happy Family Dish , Chicken fried rice and Khan Pau Chicken .
Please try this place!

Parking: Plenty of safe , free parking“
