50 Best Korean Restaurants near Morton Grove

“flaming hot chicken is legit 🔥, I will die over this“

“Was the best! Great staff; fast and friendly service. Food was amazing!“

“Among the restaurants in Chicago suburban, there were many good reviews, so I visited there for the first time with my wife. There was a little waiting time, maybe because it was the weekend, but the staff organized the table quickly, so I was able to sit down without waiting for long. The 'banchan' prepared when I ordered and waited for the food felt good about the type and taste and made me look forward to the main dish even more. Finally, the food I ordered arrived, and I was surprised at the amount that the chef thought I had made a mistake and decided when I tasted the food that was well-baked on the grill. 'I'll have to bring my parents next time!' And finally, while the servers are busy, their kindness in customer service remains very impressive.“

“We had steamed dumplings as an appetizer, and each ordered the hot stone bibim bap. The dumplings were perfect to tide us over until bibim bap arrived. The dumplings sauce was nice, but it could stand some additional spiciness. Remember to ask for the hot sauce to add to the sauce next time.
We also really enjoyed my favorite dish, bibim nap with it's variety of bulgogi beef, bean sprouts, spinach, etc and a generous amount of the gojujan sauce on the side. The small side dishes with pickled daikon radish, kim chi, marinated potatoes and marinated gluten always add additional flavors and textures the already delicious bibim bap.
I would recommend this restaurant for its flavorful and generous Korean dishes, good service, and homey feel to the place.“

“Good food and great service. I will definitely be returning.“

“Lovely Korean karaoke pub with solid food, spacious rooms, and great service. The only downside was that the karaoke setup runs through YouTube instead of the classic karaoke systems with built-in music videos and. It still worked fine, but part of the nostalgic karaoke fun was missing a bit.“

“Our Saturday lunch at Rice’N Bread was great. They have a tight menu of Korean and Western diner style food. We had the Buldak and Spicy Yang Nyum Chicken that were generous portions with rice and coleslaw and very tasty. Efficient service. Well priced. The washroom situation is a little different, walking through the tight kitchen. There is a liquor store next door for BYOB. A great find in the neighborhood. No frills, just good authentic food.“

“Good food, great customer service“

“Nice BBQ place for gathering. Yummy!“

“Food were so good and authentic. sweet garlic fried chicken was fantastic, new fried crispy and hot, sauce was nice. Bibimbap is perfect and hot. Spicy beef stew was good too, not too salty or spicy. Banchan (side dish) were all free and delicious. Staffs were so nice and friendly. Overall we had really good experience here“

“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.“

“Wonderful food & service! Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Their expansion from Golf Mill to their own establish is such a wonderful improvement. The staffs are just as wonderful and the food is excellent.
They deserve the praise and the expansion to their own place in a good plaza.

I will come back again“

“This was honestly the best chicken feet I’ve had in Chicago! The flavor was so good that I know I’ll keep coming back just for the 숯불닭발 alone.

We also ordered the clam soup, and the spicy yet refreshing broth was absolutely amazing. If you add udon noodles to the soup, it takes it to another level! 👍👍

The owner was incredibly kind, and the service was fast and attentive throughout the whole meal. Every visit here has been a great experience. 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 😉“

“As a Korean, this is my go-to Korean soup spot in the Chicago area. Cash only, no huge spread of side dishes but this place keeps it simple and lets its incredible kimchi and kkakdugi do the talking. If you want an authentic Korean dining experience, I highly recommend it.“

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

“Easy access to the main road with ample parking. The food was very home-made and delicious. The hostess was very pleasant and she came by to ensure we had everything we needed. The ox bone broth was very good. We greatly enjoyed our dinner!!“

“Super friendly service and very tasty chicken. A great addition to Humboldt Park on North Avenue!“

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

“I loved this place! Excellent food and service. Very friendly atmosphere. Store front is well lit and nicely organized. Our table was clean. The plates were very nice.
Only room for improvement may just be deep cleaning aspects. Otherwise, I will be coming back for the authentic food!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“During my visit, the limits of my spice tolerance were tested and thoroughly surpassed. Despite the weakness of my taste buds, the food was delicious! The service was great, too - the waiter who served me very kindly helped me decide between two dishes and explained the differences between them. I had the tteokppoki and the soon dubu jjigae. I want to visit again sonetime to try the scallion pancake and the kimchi fried rice.“

“I've been coming here for months, and I'm fully convinced that CM Chicken has some of the best fried chicken in the city, hands down. The place is always clean and the staff always treat me well. Give this place a try, you won't regret it.“

“Wow, Kow is a great place to get some Korean bbq. I've been to many Korean bbq to include in Korea. I like Kow. Very modern cool feel to the place. Now I've only been here during slow early hours but the food is the same I'm sure. They have a small ramen bar to get you started if you want, but maybe hold some space for the rest. We had the dinner meal and it had everything we could want and more. Did I say all you can eat? We ate too much, but left happy. If you don't know Korean bbq, you Grill your own food so it is just the way you like it. The servers are happy to help if you need it. Other than the overfull stomach we left with, have nothing but good things to say. Even liked the giant video screens around the restaurant. Check it out. 5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Always delicious, consistent, fast and fresh. Prices are still reasonable to match the portion sizes. Not huge but not small. Even though the place is smallish and seating can be somewhat limited, guests move in and out regularly and there is rarely much of a wait for a table if any. This is my go to for Korean.“

“My wife and I were so happy to visit this Korean restaurant when we were craving some Korean food. The chilly weather was just the right setting to enjoy some warming Korean soups, and we were really looking forward to trying it out.

To make sure we didn’t miss anything, I had already looked over the menu and made my choice.

Overall, we had great service, and the food was absolutely delicious. I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying their other soups, which I’m sure are just as amazing.“

“I visited Kong Dog Rolling Meadows today and had the best meal!! Hot Cheeto dog, Dorito dog, and potato, they were so fresh! We also tried the ramen and Tteokbokki - they were so delicious! We will be back very soon!! Staff was so sweet and food didn’t take too long to make!“

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

“Stumbled upon to Claypot by happenstance with my fiancée a couple years ago and have been going back since! I thought I wrote a review already but better late than never. This is by far one of our FAVORITE lunch/dinner spots to go to. The food is so flavorful, healthy, and abundant. The service is very attentive. There are some days where it may be slower because they are busy, but it’s a small location with only a few servers so give them grace if that’s happens with you. I brought a party of 12 one time which took basically a quarter of their restaurant on a busy night. Anyway, I’ve brought a majority of my family members here and they all love it!! You not only leave full and happy, but you feel energized rather than groggy/lethargic like other places. Will not stop going to, bringing people to, and recommending this spot ever. Wishing lots of prosperity and business to them.“

“I finally tried CM after years of walking by it and it was fantastic. I walked in and ordered the Curry Chicken to go. Took about 10 minutes and I sat down at the bar for a beer while I waited. Service was great and will definitely be going back.“

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

“I really enjoyed the food they served. It's was very delicious and my coworkers and I really liked the dishes. The service was amazing and they were very friendly and kind. I highly recommend this restaurant and I will be coming back here again.“

“Great experience, very friendly environment.“

“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.“

“Second time at Seoul Taco in Lakeview and it absolutely delivered again. I ordered the two chicken tacos and the elote bites, and everything was incredible. The spice level, fresh chives, tender chicken, and the sauce all came together perfectly. The flavors are bold and balanced, and every bite hits. If you're in the area and want something unique, this Korean-Mexican fusion spot is a must. I’ll definitely be back.“

“The toast and dogs are amazing. French fries are crisp and delicious. We also tried the boba tea and it was good. Limited seating was a bit difficult but it is inside a store. A sign said tanghulu so we have it a try. It was frozen solid and almost impossible to eat. If delicious eat here again but probably pass on the tanghulu.“

“amazing food and great service“

“We had Korean Café cater a dinner for over 150 adoptees (transracial/transnational), the menu was amazing! The food was fantastic and everyone loved every item. Mrs. Oh was so helpful determining the portions. It was an excellent experience working with them.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian and vegan options!“

“Good Buffalo chicken strips and onion rings!“

“Unbelievably tasty! As a picky eater and someone who doesn’t clean chicken wings, I left nothing but bone! On top of that the service and packaging is beyond thoughtful :)“
