“I absolutely love this place! I can be here 2 times a week. The staff is amazing, and super friendly! They make their food with LOVE. Everything is so fresh and taste amazing. And the fruit teas are such a thirst quencher!! Recommended to everyone if they love good “

“The food was amazing as well as the service! Our waitress had very hands on with helping us which was very nice. The bulgogi was to die for (as usual), as well as the pork belly and beef brisket.Food and service were great! Our waitress was very good at helping us and was very nice.

“Our family of four are regulars at Mr Kimchi. We love coming here for weekend dinners. This is a definite go to place when our boys come home from college. They crave Korean BBQ and the tofu soup/bean paste soup from here. Our waiter “Key” is very friendly and acknowledges our family every time we visit. He is always on top of it all when it comes to serving our table. We love coming here.“

“Give this place a try when we are around the area. There are many kinds of flavors for us to choose. Since we have kid with us, we decided to try the non-spicy ones. We ordered Honey mustard, original, soy, chili and honey wings. They are crispy and delicious. Foods tasted delicious. Super fast and great customer service. Highly recommend!“

“We usually frequent another family-style Korean restaurant in Schaumburg - which we've loved over the years! Wanted to try something new for a change.Ambience is very cozy - booths (instead of an open space) with traditional touches!Food is DELICIOUS - let's get that out of the way!Some observations:* Salad/sides - tasty, free refills, 5 choices* Bulgogi and pork dish - lots of veggies used as fillers. My kids are 'carnivores' and as such don't eat any veggies. They see meat and attack! The amount of meat we get in each plate is very less.* They should have an option without veggies. We ended up buying 4 plates of bulgogi and 2 plates of pork - just for 3 adults and 2 young kids. One of them had miso soup and I had the bibimbap! Price is reasonable but with volume of less meat, it adds up.* They don't have individual miso soup bowls for kids. It's a large bowl with greens already in it. My kids HATE greens.* Wish there was a easy way to call the waiters/waitresses - no call button and with only 1 person speaking in English, you are at the mercy of that person crossing you or the other waiters passing the message! This also impacts how quickly they could bring things. For ex. we asked for the lettuce and miso paste at the beginning but got it towards the end!* Dessert was a nice suprising touch and we all loved it!Will definitely go back there...now that I know their menu and system better.“

“Love the service here. The guy at the front is always cheerful and quick. The wings are amazing. My favorite is the sweet and spicy flavor. Good lunch specials. I got the seasoned fries as my side. They were too thin for me so I'll try the other fries next time.Two suggestions for the team: 1. if you guys can close the bag without using staples as it caught on to my finger while i was handling the bag and 2. I thought the strawberry dragonfruit refresher would have caffeine in it but it's just juice so perhaps not referring to it as a refresher would help the customers who were looking for a little pick me up. Other than that highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Hidden gem that’s mostly take out, but they have few tables for dine in. I got the spicy squid stir fry to eat in and ordered kangpunggi to go.Squid was good, however the portion size was on the smaller side… definitely could consumed two orders. Seasoned well and had a kick to it. The kangpunggi was good as well, perfectly fried but lacked the sourness that I was expecting. Overall good experience on first visit.“

“This is definitely the best Korean Gastro Pub I've ever been to. Great food with reasonable price. All the dishes we ordered were delicious. We had their Pork Bossam and squid salad with noodle. Come early or really late cause this place is busy during dining hour and parking can be difficult. The staff is always on top of everything, very fast and attentive, always ready to welcome you with a smile. The atmosphere is so authentic and really makes you feel like you are at a pub in Korea! Love this place and will continue to be a frequent customer, highly recommend! Nice place to hang out with friends and family. Thank you, New Village Gastro Pub!“

“I came recently with a friend and the service and food was great. I wanted a booth and was told no at first but was accommodated to a larger table in the back. We got the brisket and bulgogi along with some mango and lychee soju. The price isn't bad for ayce and you don't feel rushed when you come in the afternoon. Ask for Stephan he was great!“

“After reopening, this place changed more likely similar to the one in Glenview. It's better than before and I like it. The quality of food is great. You won't regret your money for the food and service. I highly recommend this place.“

“Kong Dog is a unique take on a hot dog and very creative. We had the Cheetos and Potatoes half and half dog. Both were fresh, tasted good and had incredible cheese pull from the cheese portion. It is certainly a speciality kind of a place rather than a quick stop in for a "regular" meal however.“

“this is my first Yelp review, I just had to say some good words about this place. my friends and I came in after a long day around 8:20 and the man at the counter was very nice, he said if our food comes out late we can stay like 10 minutes after they close. we left before they closed at 9 since the food came out quickly but his gesture was very kind, and the food was delicious. wonderful vibe and polite staff, I felt very welcomed. thank you so much for your kindness :)“

“Beautiful place with beautiful staff. Highly recommend marinated ribeye(number 14) and all dishes we ordered were absolutely delicious. Julie on staff was very kind and overall amazing experience. Highly recommended. Kimchi Fried rice and spicy chicken were also very good.“

“Manna is comfort food at its peak. My bf and I found this restaurant when we were exploring the burbs and it left us happy all day long. Service: - Service was super quick and all the aunties were so sweet. They were really attentive throughout the entire time that we were there. - We really really loved the side dishes and we were so nervous to ask for more but they gave us extra because they saw how much we liked it. And as starving college students, that means the whole world. Food: - We got their Gamjatang (Spicy Pork Bone Soup) for both of us and honestly, the serving was more than enough. We didn't expect to both feel full but there was so much meat in combination with the veggies and rice and we were both beyond satisfied. - Broth was really rich and there was such a deep flavor with every bite. We drank the entire thing until there was nothing left. - Side dishes were not just sides in this meal. I loved that there was such a large variety of options that were offered. Our favorites were the pickled seaweeds (I swear its the best that I have ever had) and the Kimchi radish. Ambiance: - This spot is tucked away in the suburbs and it feels just like that. The interior is designed as if you were in your grandmother's home. While we were there, we saw a group of dads, uncles, and grandpas just gathering to have a meal. And it was just so heartwarming to see and this spot is the perfect spot for family and friends gathering. I wish I lived closer because I would definitely be a regular.“

“Fantastic food! Service was super good and the food came out insanely fast even though they were completely packed full of people. Definitely recommend this place. There will most definitely be a wait as they don't take reservations and it's first come first serve but we'll worth the wait.“

“I can't say enough great things! The food brought back memories of being with old friends from Seoul.Everything was incredible. I brought a coworker with me who was unfamiliar with S. Korea cuisine and she said it was the beat lunch she has had in a LONG time. Thank you for the great experience!“

“Do yourself a favor and grab some friends for karaoke and Korean food at AGIT. A group of us went on a Saturday night and we had a karaoke room for 2hrs. Depending on the size of your group they may add a few chairs in so everyone can fit. Once you're in your room you can start with the karaoke session and in the corner of the TV tells you how much time you have left of your session. They also have instructions on the wall for how to use the remote to choose songs and how to use the control. You can press a button and a staff member will come and wait on you. We ordered a handful of stuff to share family style. We had the bulgogi, fried chicken, seafood pancake, tteokbokk. There was plenty of food to go around and everything I ate was enjoyable. It was so much fun being in a private room and eating delicious food. I wish they would have had plates instead of the paper boats because you can't fit much in the boat and maybe some serving untensils for the dishes. But minor things I could look past. They are located in a strip mall so there is plenty of parking avaliable.“

“Any time you walk into an ethnic restaurant and hear their language as the dominant sound of the dining room, take notice. This traditional self-serve counter Korean restaurant in a strip mall hides amazingly flavorful food. It is a one person operation, like many Asian food stalls, but he manages to keep it moving so you don't feel like you waited forever, and the dining room is a pleasant place with tea available for free. Every tray is completed with a salad, soup, and pickled kimchi vegetable, usually diakon. This mix, along with your entre, gives you those flavor and texture elements that make a great meal.“

“We ordered chicken noodle soup, letting the waiter know that we were going to share. They thoughtfully split our order into two bowls and even gave us a little extra. The chicken noodle soup was delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly, not too hard and not too soft. The broth was comforting, and the chicken and ingredients tasted fresh. It really was the best chicken noodle soup I've ever tried. The service was great too. We'll definitely be back again.“

“This place is NUMBER ONE! Came to Illinois for a convention, was recommended this place by a few friends and holy cow, I'm not gonna be able to eat chicken from anywhere else for awhile! Their chicken is the literally best I ever had. Loved it so much, I made sure to get take out on my drive back home, 2x in 3 days, and I would have gone a third time had I not made prior plans! Do yourself a favor and TRY THIS CHICKEN!“

“During many of my reviews, I left my camera bag on the restaurant floor because I didn't want to disrupt their business by pulling up a chair for another table. However, the server here gave me an extra chair and took care of my camera bag. I've never experienced such hospitality in a restaurant before. And when I needed something, all I had to do was raise my hand, and the server would come over to me. -Seafood Jjampong Stew: It was really good. However, I wish they had more seafood. -Oden Soup: it was on the house. Even my daughter, a picky eater, said it was excellent. My personal opinion is that the service was top notch and the flavors were good enough to give this place a 5 star review. If you're a fan of Korean food, this is a must-visit on your next trip to Chicago.“

“Long overdue review of THE best korean bbq in all of Chicago. Pretty much everything is good but the galbi and spicy pork are the best of the bunch. I make a trip down from the city at least once every two weeks for the food here. Aside from the food, the service is also great, with everyone very welcoming whenever we go. Went again today. Will probably go again next week.“

“Lisa was great! She was taking all of the orders AND cooking all of the food too! The food was amazing and she even brought out some special bbq skewers that she made! Our first time there she made it so good, and we can’t wait to come eat there again! Thank you for great day!“

“Went here with my boyfriend for a quick bite to eat for a light lunch on a Saturday! Their menu is small but still has options, I was able to get their bento box with California and Spicy tuna sushi rolls and udon soup and let me tell you it was perfect meal! My boyfriend got there chicken teriyaki bento box and with miso soup and it smelled and tasted amazing! Will be back for sure! Make sure you go and check this couples cute sushi restaurant!“

“Sooo fantastic! I asked for wonton soup..Korean wings & spring rolls. I'll say that I will be a FOREVER customer now..the wings were the BEST I've ever had,so crunchy and the seasoning was spot on~the flavor was mmmmMMmm also ,the soup tasted like it was JUST made.. i was really happy when i saw that i was given rice as well! ..most importantly for me, this food was REALLY clean and by that I mean -ingredients that were selected & prepared with intent..no "after taste" no grease..just delicious homemade honest food! Thank you!Parking: Wouldn't ever be an issue“

“I have tried a few things here but my go to is the Dolsot Bibimbap, always great and satisfying. The side dishes are always to my liking, they vary from visit to visit, and that is ok with me. Prices have come up but are reasonable. I am often the only or one of the few customers who does not speak Korean there. It is not a fancy restaurant so prepare your expectations for a more relaxed, casual, almost street food style, dining experience.“

“Searching for an authentic Mongolian restaurant in Illinois felt like uncovering a rare treasure, and we hit the jackpot with this place! The staff was incredibly friendly, creating a warm atmosphere, and the food was beyond delicious. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the bento box—a perfect blend of flavors. If you crave genuine Mongolian cuisine, this is the place to be! Highly recommend it for a delightful dining experience.“

“Very friendly staff.  Wings are pretty good. It's a different style of fried wings but tasty. My only only issue was that it takes quite a bit of time for food to be served.  Overall, the friendliness of the staff made it a nice outing.“

“This place was so good it was a little pricey but I understand why. The food and service was very good and it seemed very clean in there. I didn't expect for the ramen one to be so good but it was the best. Even the next day I heated it up in the microwave and it still tasted amazing.“

“We came down from oklahoma city for my wife b/day and was craving wings but different, and we found this place, amazing wings, air fried not oil fry and full of flavor and crispy, the fresh hand cut fries are amazing, only wish there were more flavors to choose from, but none the less very satisfy, only regret was we found this place on our last day here and not sooner, the owner is very friendly, and easy to talk to“

“Atmosphere is quite interesting. I was in the indoor but it felf like we are sitting at outside lolWell in which we had good dinner time.Foods are overall good. My kiddos had 2nd dish after finished first bowl real quick.Tendon dish was super good with Soju but it’s very pricey.“

“I ate here for the first time this week and everything we ordered was really good!! We got the kalbi, bulgogi, and dumplings. We will definitely be going again soon! My only complaint is when dining in you have to order through their website instead of with the waiter - but since there was only 2 of us it was very easy to do.“

“Stopped in for a late dinner, good service and we were attended quickly. We had the boneless wings since they were out of the whole chicken and bone in wings. We tried soy garlic & spicy galbi and they were tasty! They were both crispy and good flavors.Food was great, only complaint is the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. My girlfriend and I decided to take the food home since it was so warm inside.“

“Korean Spoon is low key excellent! It is a small hole in the wall in a small strip, and while their business is largely catering, they do offer dine-in (Tue-Fri: 11am-2pm). There are also prepared side dishes and foods, like various kimbab and Korean pancakes you can pick up and go. There are traditional soups/stews and Korean entrees/snacks offered. The yukgaejang and kalguksu are very good. While most other Korean restaurants in the area have raised prices and cut back on protein/portions, Korean Spoon continues to offer quality food at comparable prices. The owner is very kind and courteous. Really great place for down to earth homestyle Korean cooking and wish they had more dine-in hours. Check them out!“

“The food here is outstanding! The donkatsu and stir fry were completely delicious. I'm excited to try more dishes. The ingredients taste fresh with plenty of flavor. Everyone is friendly, and my server, Anna, was very hospitable. I will be back! ?“

“I have a shellfish allergy, and they offer a great variety of rolls and other foods I can eat. They have an impressive menu overall and good-sized portions. The Kamakazi roll is AMAZING. The mochi ice cream is a perfect portion for after dinner.“

“I love this place so much. The lady who runs the place is super nice and prices are very reasonable. Compared to some of the other waits for restaurants at Mitsuwa Mama House is one of the quickest to get food from. There is almost always no line and you can get your food within 5 minutes. I normally get the Beef Bulgogi and it is always flavorful and a big portion. I definitely recommend if you are looking to come to Mitsuwa to grab a relatively cheap and quick bite.“

“I love when I get food that’s super Duper hot and I have to wait for it to pull off a little before I eat it. Everything tasted fresh considering it’s just a corndog. But very delicious toppings and the Kong fries were great. This is my favorite fast food.Parking: Clean ??Wheelchair accessibility: It’s a mall totally open. We parked in a handicap parking space right next to entrance ??“

“?? ? ???????? ?????, ??’? ??????!After deciding to grab a quick meal in the area, my partner and I were promptly seated and served.(1) Taste(1.75/2.5): While sundubu jjigae is a Korean staple, ours lacked depth, and the seafood tasted overly fishy. However, the mixed tofu soup was a redeeming factor.(2) Ambiance(2/2.5): The atmosphere was lively and somewhat comfortable, but the seating and decor were not a good arrangement . Despite this, the restaurant appeared clean and well-maintained.(3) Service (2.5/2.5) The staff was attentive and responsive to our needs.(4) Price (1.75/2.5)“

“Service:Staff was very kind, welcoming and attentive.Food:Serving sizes are more for traditional family style eating.The Jukbal was cold. I know it's shipped to the restaurant precut but they could at least serve it hot after all it is a hot dish. The stir-fried squid was very well executed. The squid silver skin was not taken off, but this is to be expected from most establishments. It's inedible though so I find myself taking it off as I eat. The dumplings, tofu soup were very good. The bulgogi was tender and juicy.I went with a group of friends and we had a great time. There are many fishes I'd like to try again.“

“A nice hole in the wall Korean restaurant. It's surprisingly very spacious inside and very homey. It's close to my place but first time checking it out! I ordered the gamja tang which is a soup made made with pork back bone and vegetables. It was tasty. Lots of big chunks of meat. My dad ordered the kal gooksoo, noodle soup with clams and vegetables. My brother ordered the sul lung tang, beef bone broth with thin slice beef, noodles, and green onions. I got to try a bit of their orders and everything was tasty. The 6 side dishes they bring out are also tasty. We naturally spoke to the server in Korean. She was very attentive and sweet. Prices are reasonable. It's nothing mind blowing but a place I'd recommend if you want some simple yet solid Korean food.“

“We discovered this place tonight after reading Google reviews. It’s the best Korean BBQ I’ve had in years. The kimchi and Galbi were personal favorites. Our waitress was so attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had an amazing experience and will be back soon!“

“Came here on Sunday, March 3rd 2024. Service was great but a bit slow. The restrooms need to be deep cleaned. Super gross stuff on the sink, no hand soap available, toilet was dirty and bathroom floors felt a bit sticky. The food, however, is amazing. I see why people rave about it. Great quality and taste amazing! Just wish the bathrooms were cleaner!“

“Listen. This IS the All You Can Eat Korean BBQ spot I swear by! This place is calm and straight forward. Food is fantastic. Price is right. And most importantly, the service is amazing! Everyone is so nice and friendly.I love that they place all the sides buffet style too! Get whatever you like from a HUGE assortment of options.BBQ Garden truly is a hidden gem.The owner is always so kind to me and anyone I've ever brought. He and his staff will always have my business.“

“Great food & service. Their food is so delicious. My 5-year-old ordered 3 dishes & ate by himself. Definitely, kids will love this place. The Mayo Seau Shrimp is my favorite.My son loves the Jaengban-Jjajang & ordered it as non spicy.“

“Wonderful.Fresh sashimi, enough food......very nice for reasonable price. I strongly recommend this place for korean ⛳ golfers and group of persons from church or sports team members.Fantastic experience at this sushi place.Thanks.Kid-friendliness: Access....freeWheelchair accessibility: Convenient and wide parking space.“
