Fantastic restaurant! Always a pleasant experience coming here, and it seems to get better each time. The staff seem well trained, providing attentive and thoughtful service that made my lunch even more enjoyable. Takeout was no issue at all, too! Fun fact: It may seem counterintuitive, but Koreans eat hot soup meals during summer to beat the heat.

Very nice spot for traditional korean soup dishes. We had the Soondaeguk, Gamjatang, and Haejangguk - all were great. The servers were kind, price was good, and we did not have to wait. Definitely will return in the future.

If you crave hot 돼지국밥 (pork neat in pork broth) or 순대국밥 (blood sausage soup), this is the one in Illinois.

It was the worst Korean place in Illinois. Soon dae was very hard and the rice & Kimchi tasted like it was made a week ago. Soup itself wasn’t good too. I don’t think I will revisit this place

I went to eat a bowl of sundae soup with a friend, and it was the first time in my life that I had tasted so much sundae soup. The noodles in the sundae are so dry that they don't even taste like food and have a dry feel, and the broth looks like water poured over beef bone powder. Oh, it just doesn't taste good. I recommend that you don't regret it and just buy sundae and pork parts at H Mart and make it yourself.

We order the pork bone soup, beef bone soup and the home made Korean sausage. Pork bone soup is one of my favorite Korean dishes, and it was pretty good here. Very yummy warm and comfortable. And it was our first time to try the Korean sausage which is quite special that there’s noodles in it. I only wish they could offer a smaller portion. Unlike other Korean places, they didn’t offer a lot of choices of side dishes. And the ones we had tasted like over fermented. Still want to come back for the pork bone soup and try other dishes.

Dwaeji Gukbap is a dish native to Busan and one I didn’t get the chance to try while in Korea. I had been craving it for some time after watching Korean food eating shows showcasing the dish, so I was beyond excited when I found this place! The soup was so delicious, and the meat had a clean taste. We also ordered the gamja tang, and it had a familiar taste like a smoked meat spicy cabbage stew that I used to have as a kid back in Eastern Europe. We also ordered the blood sausage and bossam. The meat was juicy and fresh. They had their own in house dipping sauces/seasonings, and well-seasoned side dishes. Can’t wait to be back when I’m visiting Chicago again!

If the store is closed, please update Google. I checked all the opening times on Google and went there, but they put a piece of paper in front of the door saying it was closed. It took 40 minutes to get there, and I feel really bad that they are doing business so sloppily.
