Korean Barbecue Restaurants near Riverwoods, IL

“10/10 will come back next year.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at NEW SEOUL Korean Charcoal B.B.Q., and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting, creating a perfect setting for both casual dining and special occasions. The decor beautifully reflects Korean culture, adding to the overall dining experience.

The menu offers a wide variety of authentic Korean dishes, with an impressive selection of meats for the BBQ. Each option is fresh and of high quality, and the marinated choices are particularly delicious. The attentive staff provided excellent recommendations, ensuring that we got the most out of our meal.

One of the highlights was the charcoal grilling, which enhanced the flavor of the meats, creating a delightful smoky aroma that filled the air. The banchan (side dishes) were equally impressive, offering a delightful array of flavors that complemented our main dishes perfectly.

Service was prompt and friendly, with our server checking in regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. Their knowledge of the menu and willingness to answer questions added to the overall positive experience.

Overall, NEW SEOUL Korean Charcoal B.B.Q. is a fantastic spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine in a comfortable setting. I highly recommend it to both newcomers and seasoned fans of Korean BBQ alike. I look forward to my next visit!“

“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 :)“

“Took my daughter's at a 7p on a Friday. Made reservation ahead of time. Small wait time. No problem. We sat, ordered, food came fast. The owners mother was there and cooked our entire meal for us. Being first time at korean bbq we didn't know much. Such a joy for her to show us how to eat with motions not an English speaker. Lovely experience. My new favorite place. Ordered Berkshire pork belly 10/10. Short rib9/10 bulgogi 10/10. Highly recommend“

“My husband and I we are KOREAN BBQ lovers and today we enjoyed the most delicious BBQ dinner in Chicago area, very good and delicious menu, nice and friendly service. We definitely recommend BBQ GARDEN to all our family and friends.“

“Let's get the negative out of the way, it's always packed, and sometimes it's difficult to find parking. With that being said it being always full is a testament to how great this place is. The food is always fresh no matter what day of the week you go. This place is by far my top 1 in the state for Korean BBQ because of the quality, quantity and price. 3 people can eat comfortably including beer for less than $100 (not including tip). The consistency of their flavors and quality has been refreshing and we will continue to be regulars. I recommend this location to anyone looking for a great weekend meal, a date, or taking the family out for great food.“
