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! 💛🍗“

“The place was very clean and spacious. We ordered Marinated Kalbi boneless short ribs, thin sliced beef brisket, vegetable soybean paste and cold noodles. Overall foods are good. The service was very good. Price is kind of high. We are ok to visit here once. We were the first customers for the lunch. By the time we left, there were total of 5 tables including us.“

“Love the vibes and food! Come here with your friends!!“

“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“

“The 2 ladies in the front desk are super friendly... super nice, make our party become memorable. They, so passionate to take orders from 18 person, taking care of us with smiles 😃... we love them. After eat, we moved to karaoke 🎤 room...“

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

“My 13 year old son recommended this restaurant, and I had no expectations walking in. I was surprised by the bright, welcoming atmosphere and wowed by the fabulous service. I took my son’s challenge and tried the red hot chicken. It was absolutely delicious! Thank you for the wonderful dining experience. :-)“

“I somehow hadn't noticed Kong Dog here until I was at City Hall for a permit. Now I know it's there, I'll be frequenting. Love a good Korean Corn Dog, and this place fits the bill. It's so hard to only eat one, but so hard to eat two!“

“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!

Until next time we love you CM !

Photos are within 3 days of each other lol“

“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 😁“

“The Food Overall is on point & The service is Perfect 👌 Always We Love ❤️ eating the Variety of Choices Thank you for always serving Fresh Food 🥘 🙏😉😷 5 Star in our Book 😉“

“A very casual nice little Korean restaurant. The Seolleongtang was pretty good but I have had better in other restaurants (oth cities). It’s a bit weird that the place is called Seolleongtang and featuring Selleongtang, but actually I think the Wang Galbitang was better. The huge beef ribs in it were very satisfying. The chicken gizzards were also pretty good, no gamey tastes. Will come back if in the area.“

“Such an incredible place, genuinely the best chicken I've ever had, the owner was very kind and courteous. He also had such great energy, it was incredible through and through. My favorite restaurant. Nowhere better to go in the Vernon Hills area.“

“Always amazing food and super nice owners“

“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 😊“

“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!“

“meat is fresh and beautiful, one of the only places out here with my favorite banchan (pickled garlic leaves), service is great, if you aren’t korean and having any trouble they’ll give you helpful advice without hovering or making you feel dumb :)“

“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.“

“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.“

“Visited this cozy Korean spot in Chicago with a friend while we were craving authentic Korean food. We arrived around noon and surprisingly had the place to ourselves, which made the atmosphere calm and relaxing, with soft music playing in the background. My friend ordered the beef bulgogi while I went for the galbi soup—both were absolutely delicious and tasted so authentic that I still find myself thinking about it today. 😭 No Korean spot where I live even comes close to matching it!
The sweet lady who served us went above and beyond, even making a special dipping sauce for our chicken wings that came plain (not pictured). Service was quick and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. Such a gem! I only wish I lived in Chicago so I could come here more often. Without a doubt, I’ll be back whenever I visit!“

“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.“

“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“

“delicious food, cozy place and friendly staff“

“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!“

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

“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“

“I did take out for a gathering last night, and the wings were delicious. We got the honey garlic and galbi flavored wings, and they were a hit with everyone at the party. A friend who has done takeaway with them previously said that their kimchi fried rice was the best they’ve had, so I’ll try that next time. My order was ready to go at the time promised. I will definitely order again!“

“Love this place! The chicken is that perfect blend of crunchy and saucy, plus they are huge and meaty for chicken wings. Both sauces are amazing spicy is my favorite but the bacon kimchi fried rice is life changing it's a must! service was on point asian gentleman that was super patient and awesome! 100% recommend!“
