We could not find the place but the address was correct. Turns out it’s no longer Blue Ridge Korean BBQ but is called Seoul Mama.Super misleading. We didn’t feel like walking in.

Great food very fresh and plenty of protein!I've had beef and chicken bulgogi Only bad side no banchan sides at allHad to order a small side of Kimchi for $3 .. considering the plates are $15 or $16 it should be included otherwise everything else is great, have been here 3 times now during my lunch time

I went to Blue Ridge with a few friends before a concert. We all had different dishes and enjoyed them all immensely. Everything is flavored well and the food came out quickly. I would definitely recommend Blue Ridge to anyone in the area!

The food is reasonably priced and SO flavorful here! Highly recommend, it's superior my husband and I shared veggie pancakes and bibimbap with a fried egg and beef bulgogi, we both felt satisfied with the portion sizes after eating. Staff was incredibly kind and working so hard to get dishes on plates. I'm so glad to see the change after the treacherous few months of a let down, and can't wait to go back more regularly!

Food was delicious, well priced, and served quickly! I ordered the beef bibimbap and tteokbokki with ramen. The staff were also kind.

Grabbed some takeout on the way home. Food is good and was ready before the 20 minutes I was told. Went a little early. Just fyi the bibimbap is the base. Rice and veggies and sauce. You have to add your meat and egg. So at minimum you should probably add bulgogi and egg. Or whatever meat you prefer. This will bring the cost up to about the same as the other dishes. We got 3 dishes and it fed my family of 4 decently.

This place was our go to place when nice korean couple were owners. Some people took over when they left, and the food was no longer good or korean, with non korean cooking, it couldve worked but they changed recipe so bad. We went twice and never went back until today. We were very happy to see that there were two korean ladies were cooking and serving. They told me they started the business back in June last year. With authentic Korean lady's cooking I could totally tell the taste was better and more.. right. They are open on Thursdays on yelp. It says it was closed today, but they close on Tuesdays but they are open other days lunch and dinner.

Seems like they've changed owners and quality over the past couple of years. When they opened in 2016 food was good and pretty authentic. Earlier this years it seemed like they'd changed owners, same menu, but the food was even better.Was there tonight and again it seems like there's new owners again. Menu has changed - no sushi, no LA Galbi, some different appetizers... the new KPop Chicken was great - but everything else we had was very bland. Sad to see.it change so much.

It's a good mom and pop joint if you're craving Korean food! My partner and I got the beef bibimbap and seafood pancake (as pictured). The portions are good for two people. Service was pretty quick. We got our food immediately. Not sure if it's like this on the regular though.
I ordered Beef Bulgogi and it was incredible with the full range of taste I have come to love from Korean food with exceptional presentation.My friend got the Spicy Pork Bulgogi and usually I am the one ordering spicy food but it was incredible. It made me want to get a second portion to take back to the hotel. I also ordered the kimchi, and that is always good, but having it cold with the heat of the beef bulgogi fresh off of the grill was an insanely good combination. Thanking them and saying good bye in Korean was the least I could do for this incredible food so here I am writing a five star review. TL;DR:I would highly recommend coming here.

I'm a s***** for Korean cuisine. Like I try to make it at home but when I come into IL it's my favorite thing to find. This is a small spot located in a really cute neighborhood. I'd say you're getting some delicious Korean dishes. The staff were so sweet and accommodating with my questions. From what I can tell, this place is a big order out for locals. Many people picking up their orders. If you're in the area check it out. Support some local and small restaurants.
