“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.“

“We had a fabulous dinner last night at Chicago Kalbi with Cummins Peru, Komat'su, and the VPs from Antimina copper mine.

Such a great place, where you cook the wagyu & kobe beef at your table. The food was delicious ?

Isao Tozuka, the chef and his wife Chiyo-san, are fabulous hosts, very friendly, and really happy to help and show you how things are do e.

I would definitely recommend coming here. It's a unique place. Make sure you book though ad it can be busy.“

“Rice N Bread is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Jacop is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing Galbi burger. Must come back. 10/10. I liked the pictures on the walls.“

“Beautiful family-owned restaurant! They went above and beyond to accommodate my shellfish allergy, personally checked in on me, and were incredibly kind and personable. 10/10 would come here any night of the week! The food was also amazing and very well priced! Perfect atmosphere for a date night or a group hangout and the staff is amazing.“

“I usually remember to take photos of the dishes before we dig in, but everything looked so yummy this time that I completely forgot to snap a photo beforehand. That said, I hope this photo does justice to how delicious the food was.

The dolsot bibimbap arrived perfectly sizzling in its pot and the bossam was cooked very well. Their stews and kimchi jeon are equally tasty! The atmosphere is lovely—personal, clean, and perfect for good conversation. The staff are wonderfully kind, too.

As a Korean, I often miss certain dishes that are hard to recreate at home. I haven’t found many places in Chicago that nail it like this, but Tang certainly does. Highly recommend this lovely restaurant if you’re looking for yummy Korean food :)“

“Papa Bop offers warm, prompt service, and their food is delicious and cooked to perfection. The seafood ramen is now one of my favorite ramen dishes ever!“

“The food is really good here! I got the bulgogi kimbap and hot stone pot bibimbap. Everything was delicious and the people working there were very nice. The only minor con I have is I'm used to having more traditional ingredients in my kimbap like carrots, spinach, meat, eggs, yellow radish but they used lettuce and I think beets. It was still very good though!“

“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've been to many Korean BBQ's within the states and I have to say this was the best customer service we received. This place is pricey for the small portions you get. I'd definitely come back for the service tho.“

“Dancen is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Sun is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing Korean fried chicken. Must come back. 10/10.“

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

“Parachute is one of my top ten favorite restaurants I’ve ever been lucky enough to enjoy! I think a lot about Chef Kim’s gem lettuce and fish sauce salad, I still Remember it four years later! I can’t wait to go back and to check out Wherewithall!!“

“Authentic made by family Korean food. Consistently good food and service.“

“Specialty Korean restaurant that offers several classic Korean dishes for a competitive price.

The restaurant has plenty of seating parties between 2-4 people.

The chicken bento box was a good value for the portions but it could've used a little more spice in the chicken bulgogi.

The service was consistent and the food came out promptly.

There is limited street parking. This restaurant is best accessed by public transit or by foot.“

“Definitely one of the best burgers I’ve had!“

“Authentic made by family Korean food. Consistently good food and service.“

“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 😁“

“I really enjoyed both the Bulgogi Soy Pork and the Jeyuk Spicy Pork! The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the owner was incredibly friendly. What I loved the most was how quickly the food was prepared—I received my order in about five minutes. Even after bringing it home and eating it 30 minutes later, it was still warm and delicious. I truly appreciate the excellent quality at such an affordable price and would highly recommend it!“

“So delicious! The service was absolutely stellar!

We had more fun with the service ladies than each other. So much laughter!

The food was amazing! We had a 4 person combo. Highly recommend. We will be back many many more times!! 💕“

“Wonderful food & service! Highly 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 😉“

“If you’re checking the reviews to see which spot is best to eat at I recommend you give this place a shot.

I’ve tried almost every spot outside of the chicken spot in the front and I have to say that what a dumpling is by far my favorite. Reminds me of my grandmas and mother’s food. Homemade dumplings and the broth tasted great. It’s a complete different texture compared to the frozen ones.

The Noona that worked there was great as well and I observed that all the customers that ordered from there were satisfied as well. When you see empty plates and bowls you know that’s a good sign.

Support this business! :) I got the traditional one. No 7 I believe.“

“been here a few times, each is better experience that the last, attempt to try most of their items on menu. So far, my favorite is their Mango smoothies with cloud cheese, as drink. Their cloud cheese is really good and a balance of salty taste with the sweetness of the mango, the tapioca in the drinks is plentiful but not overpowering the water content. I had it in other Chinatown restaurants, some had too many tapiocas that my teeth were tired chewing them. Cuckoo is not. Their Don (Japanese rice bowls) and their bibimbap (Korean rice bowls) are excellent. Have not decide which is better because each have their own uniqueness and tastes; I had 2 types of their bibimbap before and only 1 type of their Don. So far, I am leaning towards the Don but there is excellent amount of veggie in their Bibimbap, which is ideal for weigh concise person. Wish they have a loyal customer rewards style of drinks incentives, much like some restaurants, for example, buy 9 and get 1 free drink, or some % off after 5 drink purchases, and give customers an advertisable nice pocket size reward card to keep track of their purchases. That may also work with food item purchases as well. Crossing my fingers that this may happen soon. With summer in Chicago, cool refreshing drinks is ideal and as loyal customers, return for more drink purchases with rewards will be even better.“

“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!“

“We stopped by here after an omakase dinner for a night cap and the cocktails were very good! We sat at the bar and Arturo took care of us. My hubby got the Perilla Last Word and I got the Garuso Boulevard, which was a bourbon cocktail with persimmon liqueur, figs and honey date tea. Mine was so good! It brought me back to when I drank those honey tea/chrysanthemum juice boxes when I was young. Very nostalgic.

We were too full to try their food menu but we want to come back to try it for sure. Logan Square has so many hidden gems and this Paligu definitely one of them. Check them out!“

“Great experience, very friendly environment.“

“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.“

“This place was amazing! Tucked away just around the corner off Morse, this little kitchen serves large bowls of the best bulgogi and bibimbop I've had since I was in Seoul.

The chef took the time to check in on all diners, and his staff have been courteous every time I visit. Very thankful to have them so close to home! 사람이다!“

“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.“

“A very no frills, owner-couldn’t-give-a-heck-about-you type experience and it was awesome. I got the beef brisket soup and it came with a side of kimchi, radish kimchi, rice, and green onions. The soup when it arrives is pretty mild but they give you everything you need to add some flavor. The brisket was good, the kimchi was amazing, and the tea (I think Barley?) was also great. Definitely more of a winter spot but not terrible on a summer day either! It is cash only with a no-fee ATM inside.“

“it’s good! This is one of my favorite places to go in Evanston, not just because of the food but the staff and place itself. The interior is traditional dark wood timber and brick walls, and is quite airy and bright. I love me a booth. It gets big cute points for being freaking…cute. The service is friendly and patient, the food is limited but what they do serve is …cute and delicious. The Dolsot BBB is wonderfully crispy and fresh, a wonderful light lunch, no weigh down, heavy drowsiness, the hotdog stew is spicy and surprising filling. Everything is in modest portions and thereby justify the affordability. Royal milk tea cools it all off! Go.“

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

“Save 3% by bringing cash.
This was that rare occasion where the food looked nicer than the picture on the menu.
I ordered beef bulgogi. It arrived on a sizzling plate, with a delicious cup of beef broth, and two vegetables. The dish was large and delicious. I had leftovers to take home.“

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

“I tried the original fried chicken and the spicy garlic chicken—both were enjoyable, though the latter was slightly too sweet for my taste. The store could benefit from better cleanliness. That said, food was served promptly, and the prices were reasonable. I’ll likely return, but only for takeout.“

“KFIRE spicy BBQ sauce is delicious. I use it on everything from chicken to steak. I highly recommend it.“

“This location is inside an HMart so it’s counter service. Very nice couple took our order- the hot stone bibimbop and the Beef short rib (LA Galbi). Oh and some fried dumplings. Everything was amazing. Will def be back and plan for some grocery shopping too!“

“Ok y'all, the only reason I'm just leaving a review now is coz I'm always coming in hungry, but always leaving full and satisfied (I end up knocking out after). I'm making it a point to leave a review now before I forget. My boyfriend and I probably come here every other date night since we first came here. The food is so good, the lady who cooks the food is so sweet...and the food is soooo good!“

“Got the green onion chicken tenders. They were delicious. Also got the smashed pear drink. It was also great“

“10/10 will come back next year.“

“We went to the commerce to eat at a different restaurant and did not have a good experience. Tony D. stepped up and was so willing to help and made us some amazing food! The cauliflower is amazing and the bowl with white rice was perfect. I will definitely be going back when I’m in the area!“

“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.“
