“Had a fantastic meal at Seoul Ave in Oak Park. We ordered the Beef Short Rib, Rose Tteokbokki, Cheese Donkatsu, and Kimchi Pancake, and every single dish was outstanding.

The Beef Short Rib was tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The Rose Tteokbokki had a rich, creamy sauce with just the right amount of spice. The Cheese Donkatsu was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and filled with plenty of melted cheese. The Kimchi Pancake was packed with flavor, crispy around the edges, and one of the best I’ve had.

Beyond the food, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming throughout the entire meal. The restaurant delivers an authentic Korean dining experience with excellent quality and generous portions.

If you’re in Oak Park, this place is absolutely not to be missed. Highly recommended!“

“Romantic environment, feel warm and cozy“

“Great people. Food is so much better with the new chef. Only thing missing, nachos.“

“Great staff, quality product with less wait“

“The front of the house staff and the food envisioned by Chef Laura and well executed by the talented kitchen staff are outstanding. Simply outstanding.simple yet intesting eats. Whitney is beyond attentive to his guests' beverage interests. "George" Harrison, Jack and the under 21 staff are eager, respectful, and engaging. What a treasure in this neighborhood spot, with beyond just the nearby geographically located closeby fan base. Who's going to gift me with a card to Kettlestrings Tavern for Christmas? "8 days a week" left until December 25“

“Pablo, our waiter, was exceptional. During our first visit here, he warmly welcomed us and showcased impressive knowledge of the menu, even extending to items not listed. He encouraged us to customize our meal to our liking, and he certainly delivered! For starters, we chose the grilled calamari and Rockefeller oysters. The calamari was tender and impeccably cooked, steering clear of the typical rubbery texture. Opting for balsamic instead of oil was a perfect choice. The oysters were superb, not overwhelmed with cheese. I ordered the veal picatta from the menu, expecting a thin slab, but was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion size. The angel hair pasta complemented the dish well, although I could have done without the mushrooms – a personal preference, which I should've mentioned. Nonetheless, if you're a mushroom enthusiast, they give you plenty. My boyfriend ordered off-menu, enjoying the Zuppe di Pesce with shrimp, clams, extra calamari, and rigatoni Diablo style in red sauce. It was absolutely amazing and satisfied his taste without being overly spicy. To accompany the meal, I had a glass of the house Chardonnay, which was light and buttery. Even my boyfriend, who doesn't typically drink wine, enjoyed it. Our heartfelt thanks to Pablo and the owner/chef Giovanni for an outstanding dining experience, both in terms of the meal and the service.“

“Great rooftop bar with good selection of drinks and tasty food. Great local option.“

“Loved the $11 Pecorino & Tomato Tartine:
(Olive oil fried toast with pecorino, preserved tomato & confit garlic with herby gremolata).
Just needed more preserved tomatoes as had soo much delish confit garlic & maybe too much olive oil as middle of the toast was a bit soggy.

$14 Green Salad was good but it was mostly just greens & barely any of the other ingredients listed:
(Asparagus, preserved lemon, parmesan & roasted shallot vinaigrette).

$14 Blueberry Struesell Loaf. While the next line was reminiscent of Blueberry Muffin, was not a Struesell & had barely any Blueberry. Sad.

Service was a little awkward.
Weren't greeted or asked if ready to order. Had to get their attention. But everyone was super nice.

Also, a diner wanted their sandwiches heated up but were first told no can do. They can but said the sandwich is supposed to be cold. Customer insisted & sandwich was heated.

I'll be back for sure for take-out & fresh breads.“

“Great place for a healthy and tasty smoothie. Tons of options, from high-protein blends to fruit-focused energizers. Staff is usually friendly and quick, and everything’s made fresh. Prices are a bit high, but worth it if you want something filling and nutritious. Love their post-workout options!“

“So happy we tried this. The wait staff was super upbeat as was the atmosphere. The owner was so kind & thanked us for coming. Definitely will be back to try more scrumptious food. Thanks for a great time. We left full and so happy“

“Service polite and quick. Space clean and well organized. Ordered the Papa Q platter, everything was good, especially the pork belly and sausage. Sides were cornbread, sweeter than traditional, mac q roni- tasty, coleslaw- creamy and traditional, and mashed potatoes with gravy-really good. Hush puppies were yummy too. Three sauces on table are all good individually but I mixed them all together, delish!“

“My husband and I stopped in to El Tio #4 for a quick bite while staying at the Holiday Inn across the street. We were on a road trip for a cross-country move and had a lot of great meals, but this one stands out. The portions were enormous and delicious. I'd especially recommend the quesabirria tacos and consomme. So yummy and filling! Next time we're in Chicago, I'm definitely going to try to get to Oak Park for another meal here.“
