19 Best Korean Restaurants near Mundelein

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

“happened to stumble on this place on a random Tuesday. we came into the restaurant around 2:15ish and they closed at 3:00. despite this, they were very kind and told us not to worry about it. the food was amazing, me and my best friend couldn’t believe how good every dish was. we got a ton of food for $45 without tip. left happy and full! would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a tasty bite.“

“With new Korean places popping up in Vernon Hills, this place is still a family favorite. The food is home-cooked and super authentic — not to mention several dollars cheaper than alternative K-restaurants. The mom-and-pop vibes are real, and we’re always greeted with big smiles. Will be back :)“

“This was my first time trying this place, and it’s like Chipotle but with a Korean twist.

It’s refreshing to have a spot where the food is fresh and served quickly. The staff is super friendly.

Definitely a must-try!“

“ABSOLUTELY must go! Such a friendly server and I felt so welcome. I really like spicy food myself but the people who cant handle spice well be cautious because they come to serve SPICE. Everything I tasted was delicious, I was sniffling and sweating but scarfing my face. Props to the only worker there, he was so sweet and gave me a free milkis. I WILL be coming back. 10/10 would recommend.“

“Everything was perfect!“

“So delicious we wrote this review! We tried a variety of things- potstickers, Yakisoba, kimbop, and some sushi rolls. Everything was fresh, very flavorful, with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. Server was knowledgeable, service was quick, prices were reasonable. We wish we lived closer to go more often but it’s worth the drive!“

“훌륭한 음식. 돌솥 비빔밥과 무김치를 사랑해! 19 년 전 미 육군과의 국가에서의 시간을 상기시켜주었습니다. 같은 K-pop 곡들도 연주됩니다!“

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

“CM Chicken is a fried chicken lover’s paradise! We went there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and as a fried chicken enthusiast with sky-high standards, he was thoroughly impressed. The original bone-in chicken was absolutely incredible—perfectly crispy on the outside and unbelievably juicy on the inside.

The atmosphere made it even better—fun, welcoming, and perfect for a family celebration. It turned my dad’s birthday into a night to remember. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the entire experience was just fantastic from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best fried chicken and a great place to gather with family and friends, CM Chicken is the place to go. We can’t wait to come back for more!

Kid-friendliness: Had high chairs and very accommodating and patient. Gave us a small sealed boba cup for each kiddo!“

“This past December marked the first time in over 36 years that I've had a decent corndog for a change.When I was growing up a navy brat from June '80-Nov '87 on a US base in Japan, there was a place directly across the main hwy right outside off base.They used to make em fresh but not the way they do it here with the different styles to choose from.For decades, any corndog I've had anywhere has been from frozen, pretty bland and not so enjoyable. They are really good here and indeed something different.The good thing about this venue is that there's really no other immediate competitor with the exception of Kong Dog down in Vernon Hills.Hope this place continues to rake in the business and stays for decades to come, awesome corndogs!“

“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!“

“10/10 will come back next year.“

“Small family run .
Don’t be deceived by the name. The food is very good. Very fresh really great service small intimate restaurant. They have a small dining area probably for parties that are somewhat small or overflow.. try it out so good !!
I guess you can order Omakasa I was looking at reviews and it looks amazing. It’s so fun to sit up at the sushi bar and watch their craft with those amazing knives so skillful.“

“Did you miss the crunchy, crispy, juicy bbq.chicken provided by excellent chef and staff?.. Not anymore. Just try this place.
Excellent food, homemade desserts , amazing customer service!!! Thank you for your hard work and wish you all the best!“

“This is the best one of all the bbq chickens. Sooo delicious n service is always so fast with piping hot fresh wings. Ny favorite flavor is Gangnam style in boneless. It’s kinda sweet a tiny bit spicy. I’ve tried all the flavors and this is the best one. Some locations only offer gangnam style in traditional wings not boneless n I’m grateful Vernon hills location has it available in boneless. The girl who mans the front counter is so sweet and I’ve never had a single issue with food quality or service.“
