29 Best Korean Restaurants near Schaumburg

“This Korean spot is the real deal. It's super small, and only has like 4-5 tables, so the wait to dine in can be very long. Some food takes a while to come out and that is not a bad thing, as it tastes simply amazing and you can tell they take their time! The sweet and sour beef here is the truth and super authentic, the kimchi soup is just as good too! Highly recommend both of these dishes; the black noodles are alright, so I'd skip those. The service is friendly, but it's a small operation here (usually 1 person answering the phone, taking orders, handing out orders, seating people, etc.) It's a mom and pop restaurant and I hope it survives and thrives, because this place is doing authentic Korean food right.“

“Food is fantastic. For sure one of our favorite restaurants“

“Delicious food. Good drink selection. Fantastic fried chicken.“

“Incredible experience. Very cool interior, the staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating, and the food was absolutely outstanding. We got the Kal Bi and Pork Kimchi Bokum. It was an absolute FEAST for 2 for about $65. Came with 5 sides (plus refills), rice, soup, lettuce for wraps, etc. and topped it off with a couple Haagen Dazs ice cream bars. One of the best culinary experiences we’ve had in quite some time! Thank you Chungkiwa!“

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

“Our 1st time at the Algonquin location. Our server was very nice and explained everything well! The food was delicious.We will be back again.“

“Really delicious bbq for a fair price, ordered three different meats with three different appetizers, 3 sojus plus extra drinks and rice! For a group of 4, spent roughly $50+ per person but given the food quality and service, definitely a gem place 🙌🏼 1000000/10 would come back ! Especially for those cute shot glasses !! Overall, stellar place with great people and food 🫶🏼“

“All the food we ordered was alll delicious!!“

“This place never disappoints. Great service, amazing chicken and overall great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Didn't have any food so can't comment on that, but service was great, prices are excellent the karaoke room was very fun and the machine worked flawlessly. Had a lot of music, however there selection for Hispanic music is very limited so wouldn't recommend for that, but other than that great spot to have a fun night out with friends.“

“Simply amazing and satisfying food!“

“Always amazing food and super nice owners“

“A Korean yakiniku restaurant run by a married couple. A characteristic of Korean Yakiniku is that there are quite a few small plates served with the meat, more so than at Cheong Ga, which is popular in this area. As a Japanese person, they also have beef tongue and yukhoe, which is nice, but the beef tongue doesn't come with lemon juice.
Do you have cut lemons in your kitchen? I asked about it, but they said it wasn't there.
The owner may not seem friendly at first glance, but when you're eating, he'll smile and talk to you in simple Japanese.
It's a small restaurant, so it's more suitable for families on holidays than for large groups.“

“They opened really nice restaurants in neighborhood since its really hard to find all u can eat good quality bbq around Schaumburg, Arlington heights, Elk Grove Village etc.
You don't get to grill the meat, they will take ur order and grill it in the back and bring it on the table which I found surprisingly cool and calm. There is no smoke or urge to overcook the meat etc. Usually its little messy when u get to grill the meat. Just found out today its really actually great idea if mear served grilled like theirs.
You will calmly be served with delicious tender good quality steak in front of u already cooked professionally. The side dish and kimchi stew was top notch. They will serve you side dishes with everything you want to enjoy with the meat. Grilled onion, garlic,jalapeno, side zucchini, carrot mushroom even the sauce and salt was so good! 0 complains! Cannot get enough of kimchi stew. My husband said even their water tested better lol . We only paid around $70-$80 but it was all worth it. Definitely will come back!! Its been so hard to find good restaurants nowadays. They are exceed the expectations! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The view at this place is great! After a graduation celebration with family, we went here to have another round of drinks and party even more. We got some juicy fried chicken and a huge egg omelette. It paired well with our beers and it was just great night“

“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!“

“Overall, the food was great! We ordered variety of food and for the price, i think it was worth it. Their boba is good. I especially love their Thai boba. They serve food fast and the vibe of the place was good although their place is small. ++ They gave us a free sample of their Italian soda, we kind of like it!“

“I admire this place! They provide delicious meals, their menu is rich, The chief cook in that restaurant is a real authority in the kitchen, I like very much eating all their dishes. The food is always fresh, the service towards the guests is nice. I frequently visit this restaurant and I not even once was unhappy. Highly recommended.“

“Have had both regular and boneless. Forget Wing stop and Buffalo Wild Wings. DAK DAK is the real deal. Huge meaty wings. You have to try these and you won't go anywhere else. On top of all that, it's fun to say DAK DAK“

“I was wanting to try Korean style fried chicken. I was not disappointed. The chicken is crispy, moist and just the right amount of spice. The menu looks so good, I had difficulty deciding what to get. I will definitely come back.“

“First, the food is DELICIOUS! They have a lot more flavors of chicken available than some other K.F.C. restaurants. The tteokbokki offers more flavors & add in’s as well. You can tell the company really cares about their food quality and customer satisfaction-eg they have steam vents built into the containers and the keep your to-go order propped slightly open until you pick up your order all so that your chicken remains crispy, rather than getting soggy waiting in a closed container! The staff are always very polite & conscientious. LOVE THIS PLACE!“

“Everything tasted amazing food and drinks were very fresh ,my favorite drink is boba tea“

“Enjoyed a simple but incredibly tasty lunch with the BlueFin tuna and crunchy rolls that were soooo good. Yum!!!!😊👍“
