15 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.“

“Lately, I’ve been moving away from the ayce kbbq and trying the ones that are a la carte. This one uses oak wood charcoal vs gas-powered/electric grill that most of the Illinois Korean restaurants use. The verdict is that the meat comes out really tasty. When you come in, you might have to reserve a table especially on the weekend. We didn’t reserve, but we were lucky to get a table for 3 on a Saturday night at 7 pm. The restaurant is small so seating can be limited. Parking is sufficient since it’s a shared lot.

The service was very attentive and friendly. This is a family owned and run establishment. We ordered the combination platter (bulgogi, kalbi fingers, and pork belly), mo dum jun (combination platter for appetizers, ggo ri gom tang (oxtail soup). This was more than enough food for 3 people. Banchan is refillable. I would say this is one of the best kbbq restaurants in the Chicagoland area and I wouldn’t mind coming back.

-combination platter 5 - this is good for 2-3 people as long as you have other dishes. Meat cooked fast.
-mo dum jun 5 - fried squash, shrimp, oysters, and stuffed peppers. The stuffed peppers were my personal favorite. Make sure you dip them in the sauce provided.
-oxtail soup 5 - light broth not too robust. Oxtail meat was tender, not chewy. It’s big and shareable.“

“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!“

“What an excellent eating experience!! The waiter was friendly and seemed to anticipate our requests. It was my first time in a Korean restaurant and I was glad that my son accompanied me and explained the various foods and choices. It was SO comfortable and enjoyable! The food was AMAZING! I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional eating experience!!“

“Every time my daughter and I go to H Mart we get cupbop here, we love the crispy tofu and beef or the chicken, but no matter which cupbop we order it’s always amazing. The portion is enough for three meals and we always have plenty to bring home after the initial lunch. The combination of ingredients and sauce are so memorable that we can’t wait to have it again and it literally talk about it regularly until we go back for another visit! We hope it never changes!“

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

“Here’s a polished review you can post:

We had a great experience at Chodang Tofu! We shared a couple of plates so we could try different dishes, and everything was delicious. The staff was so kind and gave us great recommendations. The presentation was beautiful, and the hot plates were our favorite — so flavorful and satisfying. We’ll definitely be coming back !“

“​I was craving authentic Korean food during my travels, and this place provided the most perfect meal I could have asked for. The flavors were so deep and authentic that all my travel fatigue vanished from the very first bite.
​Everything from the main course to each and every side dish was prepared with such care. It felt as though I had discovered a top-tier restaurant back in Korea. The food was clean, perfectly balanced, and incredibly satisfying without being overpowering.
​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!“

“I have eaten at Tanaka Sushi once or twice a month since 2021, and they consistently serve the best Japanese and Korean food in the Naperville/Lisle area. I am a sushi snob, and their sushi is always fresh and well-prepared. Their cooked dishes are always served piping hot and delicious, well-plated, and the portion sizes are great for the price. The employees clearly have a tight-knit work environment, and they are all always polite. I cannot recommend this restaurant more. You will never regret a Tanaka Sushi lunch.“

“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.“

“Seoul Bites delivers bold, authentic Korean flavors in a casual, welcoming setting. The food is consistently fresh, portions are generous, and the sweet and spicy wings are an absolute must-try. Fast service and a great vibe make it easy to keep coming back. Highly recommend!“

“This restaurant is a true hidden gem for me!

A family-owned business for 21 years, completely local, and still preserving the authenticity of Korean cuisine. I was absolutely delighted with my dinner here.

A huge variety of food, friendly staff, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Definitely 5 stars! Highly recommended.“

“We tried going to the one near us in Schaumburg but it just wasn’t the same so we will continue to make the drive over to the Naperville store! The chicken is always soo good and crunchy!! the Honey Garlic omg yummy and the hot is also good!“
