28 Best Korean Restaurants near Schaumburg

“Got my car serviced at Six Star across the street so I decided to give this place a try. Although I had an hour ride home the food stayed very fresh and crispy. They hands down have the best corn dogs I’ve ever had. Dubokki was insanely good too. Owner was very nice and helpful with suggestions. Can’t wait to go back!“

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

“It taste the best 🍱🍚🦐😋 recommended even if I have to drive 25 minutes 😁“

“This is my second time coming to CM Chicken, and it never fails to disappoint! I’ve been to other locations, but this is the definitely the best. The staff members are very nice and accommodating, and the food tastes great! My personal favorites are the Soy Garlic Green Onion Chicken and Curry Tikku Chicken. The space is large and good for groups of any size. Came here for a New Years Party, and everyone had a great experience!“

“This place is so good not only did i leave a Google review, but now a Facebook one as well. Hands down the best KBBQ place around. The food is so good. All the meats are amazing even the vegetable sides are delicious. The owners are so nice and sweet it makes you feel like you're eating this world class meal in a family members home. Cant wait to go back!“

“Best BB.Q franchise for me. Gives the biggest peices, excellent saucing, and service.

For whatever reason many BB.Q Chicken locations only allow you to select only one flavor for a medium order. So if you want two different flavors you have to pay the higher charge to get two small sizes In different flavors. This location allows me to order two separate flavors for a medium order which saves me a headache, and a little money. I am willing to drive 5 minutes further to go to this location than the other 3 or so BB.Q locations that are slightly closer as a result. Keep up the good work guys!“

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

“I love this place everytime I go. Easily in my top 5 places in this area.

Food is always excellent, rotating sides always keeps it different and interesting even when ordering the same dish everytime, and the staff is always very welcoming and kind.“

“This place is perfect for Korean BBQ lovers. The unlimited grilled meats and authentic Korean flavors make every visit worth it. The bulgogi and galbi were packed with flavor, and the corn cheese and egg casserole sides were delicious. Great atmosphere, great food, and a fun dining experience every time.“

“The quality of the meat here is truly exceptional—fresh, tender, and full of flavor. You can immediately tell they take pride in what they serve. The side dishes are just as impressive: everything is clean, well-balanced, and thoughtfully prepared. They honestly remind me of my mom’s homemade cooking, which says a lot.
One of my absolute favorites here is the mul naengmyeon. The broth is incredibly refreshing and perfectly balanced, and the noodles have that ideal chewy texture. It’s easily the best naengmyeon I’ve had in Chicago—nothing else even comes close. Every visit here feels like a comforting, high-quality dining experience.“

“EXCELLENT food! Don’t think you can go wrong ordering any of the dishes. Staff are very friendly and pay attention. I got bulgogi fries and chicken katsu k-bowl. Both phenomenal but the bulgogi fries are great value! Highly recommend.

Environment is also nice, you can tell they spent some $$$ on certain chairs, lighting, fixtures so the place looked nice.“

“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“

​Beyond the delicious food, the warm and friendly service made this experience truly unforgettable. If I had to give a reason to visit this city again, it would undoubtedly be to eat at this restaurant. This will be the very first place on my list to revisit whenever I return to this town!“

“Been there couple of times for carry out. The waitress there super friendly and always smile. Not to mention the food is awesome compared to to other Korean restos and also you will get the portion way more than what you pay for! Absolutely strongly recommend this one!“

“I'll say service is slow but for a good reason. Once younplace your order it's a wait but the food was delicious. The kids got corn dogs and cheese fries they enjoyed. The wife and I got a beef fried rice and garlic honey wings both amazing ... I'd come back definitely.“

“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.“

“I had dinner here on 4/25/26 because it'd been warm recently and I was craving mul naeng myeon. I was surprised to find it almost empty. I was seated right away and offered hot tea and water. The place is cozy, like a family restaurant instead of a chain. They had K-Pop music videos playing lightly in the background and on a large TV screen, which was a fun touch. I ordered and was served immediately with 5 different banchan options. My order took a reasonable time to prepare, given the required components.

It was plated beautifully, in a simple and traditional bowl with plenty of slushy frozen broth (not just ice cubes). Lots of freshly toasted sesame seeds. The waitress offered to snip the buckwheat noodles with clean scissors, which I happily accepted. I sipped the icy broth first, and it was freaking delicious. Exactly the flavor and cooling umami freshness I needed!

The egg was perfectly jammy, the apple/pear was sweet, and the radish was just crunchy enough to create some contrast of textures. There were 2 perfect slices of brisket. I've seen reviews complaining about the lack of meat, but IMHO this was just the right amount to balance the many layers of flavors. Some dishes are meant to showcase a variety of carefully prepared ingredients, each playing its role. I slurped through more than half of my bowl before I remembered to add more vinegar and mustard to punch up the rest. The banchan was tasty and not overly salted. I lifted the bowl with both hands to drink the rest - no need to waste the tangy broth!

The owner came over to introduce herself personally, remarking how happy I looked after my meal. I thanked her profusely for the wonderful food and excellent service. We had a delightful conversation and I felt truly welcomed into their restaurant! ♡♡♡“

“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!!!!😊👍“
