10 Best Korean Restaurants near Naperville

“We drive over an hour and love everything! Can’t wait to try something different every visit.“

“Delicious food! Friendly staff! It's one of my favorite kimchi places. Definitely recommend!“

“I must have eaten here at least 10 times before leaving this review and every single time I am blown away how good it is. The Chicken and Beef Cupbop? Every time I order it, it tastes the exact same -- a perfect 10/10. Every. Single. Time. Unreal. Phenomenal portion sizes. Every ingredient in this dish tastes like it just came fresh out of my mama's kitchen. If I was stuck on an abandoned island and could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be the Chicken and Beef Cupbop and I would die a happy man.“

“Best and very rare Chinese Halal restaurant in the area.“

“BB.Q has some of the crispiest, crunchiest, juiciest chicken I've had. Top notch. Dine in when you can for a fresher experience, but carry out isn't a bad option either. Incredible that they can slather these things in sauce and they are still crispy and delicious.“

“We have been coming here since the place opened. One thing they have is tire consistency. Every time the chicken is on point and perfectly done. The snow chicken is our go to, comes with an amazing sauce and a bucket of onions. Try at your own risk, you will get hooked. Bussin!“

“I came Lysle for staying overnight. And found this place where I can eat Korean food. The place was little running down, but the food wasn’t bad. I mean good and price is reasonable. I ordered a yukgaejang since I am by myself. Guess what they brought a small gigym (pan cake) for service. I was pleasantly surprised since it is hard to find this type of service in these days. The service was good I mean they are attentive to the customers. Overall, it was good!“

“It’s hard to find good, authentic Korean food. I’m not from Naperville, so sometimes I really miss that home cooking! I also appreciate that they don’t alter the authenticity of some dishes, and the family that owns this restaurant will always accommodate. They are the sweetest!“

“If you love Korean fried chicken or are curious about trying it for the first time, Bonchon Aurora is the perfect place to go. We recently visited this location and were thoroughly impressed by everything—from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere. Bonchon delivers a flavorful, high-quality dining experience that stands out from other casual spots in the area.

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by friendly staff and seated right away. The interior is clean, modern, and nicely laid out. It has a casual yet stylish vibe, making it a great place to hang out with friends, have a family dinner, or even do takeout if you’re in a rush. The music was upbeat but not too loud, and the environment was welcoming and relaxing.

Now, let’s talk about the food—because that’s what Bonchon is all about. We ordered a combo of wings and drumsticks with both Soy Garlic and Spicy flavors. The chicken was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It’s honestly some of the best Korean fried chicken we’ve ever had. The soy garlic has a deep, savory-sweet flavor that keeps you reaching for another bite, while the spicy has a real kick without being overwhelming. It’s bold, flavorful, and lingers just enough to remind you it’s legit.

In addition to the chicken, we tried a few of their appetizers and sides. The takoyaki was hot and crispy on the outside and creamy inside with a drizzle of mayo and bonito flakes on top—just how it should be. The kimchi coleslaw was an unexpected but delicious twist, adding a tangy crunch to the meal. We also shared the bibimbap, which came out sizzling in a stone bowl and was absolutely loaded with fresh veggies, perfectly cooked rice, and tender beef. Once mixed together with gochujang, it was a fantastic balance of flavors and textures.

Service was great—our server was attentive, kind, and happy to answer our questions about the menu. The food came out quickly and hot, and we never felt rushed or ignored. It’s always refreshing to have a team that genuinely cares about your experience.

Another thing worth mentioning is how well they package everything for takeout. We’ve ordered Bonchon for pickup before, and everything always comes fresh, neatly packed, and still crispy—even after a drive home. That says a lot about their attention to quality.

Parking was easy, and the location is super convenient if you’re shopping or passing through the area. Plus, their online ordering system is smooth and reliable, which makes this a go-to for quick lunches or dinners on busy days.

Bonchon Aurora truly brings the flavors of Korea in a fun, accessible, and high-quality way. Whether you’re dining in or ordering out, you’re going to get consistent food and service. This is the kind of place that becomes a regular stop because you know exactly what you’re going to get—crispy, crave-worthy chicken and a menu that surprises you with depth beyond just wings.

We left full, happy, and already talking about what we want to try next time. Highly recommend the soy garlic wings, the spicy combo for heat lovers, and the bibimbap if you’re looking for a heartier option. Bonchon Aurora deserves all five stars and then some.“

“The fried chicken and seafood udon noodle we ordered were delicious! Service and atmosphere were great too! BellaBot was the highlight of the night serenading a nearby table with a happy birthday song. Highly recommended for anyone.“
