17 Best Korean Restaurants near Villa Park

“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“

“We drive over an hour and love everything! Can’t wait to try something different every visit.“

“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.“

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

“Great service, delicious food“

“Simply amazing and satisfying food!“

“I must have eaten here at least 10 times before leaving this review and every single time I am blown away how good it is. The Chicken and Beef Cupbop? Every time I order it, it tastes the exact same -- a perfect 10/10. Every. Single. Time. Unreal. Phenomenal portion sizes. Every ingredient in this dish tastes like it just came fresh out of my mama's kitchen. If I was stuck on an abandoned island and could only eat one thing for the rest of my life it would be the Chicken and Beef Cupbop and I would die a happy man.“

“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!“

“The food was great! If you want an authentic mom and pop Korean restaurant, this is it. We had the pan fried dumplings which were huge and you get 6 of them! The grill was charcoal, which was pretty amazing. We had the bulgogi and pork. We'll definitely be back to try more!“

“This is one of my family favorite places to come to. The restaurant recently expanded and can accommodate bigger families and gatherings! Our fam favorite is the wings, balgogi (and loaded fries) and kalbi! Def worth checking out, especially if you’re coming from out of town!“

“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.“

“It’s hard to find good, authentic Korean food. I’m not from Naperville, so sometimes I really miss that home cooking! I also appreciate that they don’t alter the authenticity of some dishes, and the family that owns this restaurant will always accommodate. They are the sweetest!“

“I came Lysle for staying overnight. And found this place where I can eat Korean food. The place was little running down, but the food wasn’t bad. I mean good and price is reasonable. I ordered a yukgaejang since I am by myself. Guess what they brought a small gigym (pan cake) for service. I was pleasantly surprised since it is hard to find this type of service in these days. The service was good I mean they are attentive to the customers. Overall, it was good!“

“Come check out these wild wings. delicious a variety of flavors.“

“It’s a mall food court where every table is dirty and rocks so not a great atmosphere. However the guys working at Kong Dog are very friendly and efficient and they were happy to answer questions and make suggestions. I have never had a Kong Dog but I give it 10/10 and the mango lemonade was delicious combo too! I’ll be back for sure.“

“I never noticed this place and then it just happened to catch my eye. I ordered the Chicken Katsu. It was delicious. The crispiest and best I’ve ever had. Don’t sleep on this place. The seating is a little less than impressive, but not bad. Everyone was very nice, and my order came to me quickly.“

“BB.Q has some of the crispiest, crunchiest, juiciest chicken I've had. Top notch. Dine in when you can for a fresher experience, but carry out isn't a bad option either. Incredible that they can slather these things in sauce and they are still crispy and delicious.“
