Korean food enthusiasts know and love this no-frills Lincoln Square restaurant , where there’s usually a line waiting to get in. For the newcomers, order the house specialty , chadol-gui. Read more

Léo Le Brun

For BBQ , get option 1 (non marinated beef ), it's delicious. The bulgogi is subpar, so is the seafood pancake . Remember the banchan is unlimited so ask for seconds!

Sam Lee

After I came back to Canada, I still think I should have taken picture and post here what we were given-such a low junk meat. It was our 2nd visit after 6 yrs. They perfectly ruined our lovely memory.

Michelle Truong

Yummy Korean food and BBQ ! love the soondubu soup and beef dumplings w/ rice cake soup . Good bulgogi and Korean short ribs . Nice selection of complimentary sides too. Beware: you will leave stinky!!!!

Maggie H.

The Galbi was delish and the Jap Chae is always a favorite! Get there early though, we were waiting for at least an hour because it was so busy.

laura honeycutt

BYOB . you wont get anything to drink.. And if you want the fried rice ,, be sure to order the #3 or #6 because, despite what the menu says, that's the only way you get it. Bummed.

Autumn Choi

Great authentic Korean food and reasonably priced. But always so busy leading to terrible service and the servers always look so overworked

Cy Hodgson

Authentic Korean BBQ-I love the Octopus in spicy sauce . Lines usually long outside but super worth it.

Kelly 🍰

Probably the best Korean BBQ in Chicagoland. Chadolbaegi is my favorite part. Banchan is very good. Skip the jigaes , which are bland.

Time Out Chicago

The intoxicating aromas of soy sauce , sugar, rice vinegar and garlic tell you this place is good before you walk in the door. Read more

Tammy

Chadolbaegi (sp?) is absolutely amazing. Unmarinated but still great. Best part: staff turns leftovers into kimchi fried rice !

Dana Jensen

Outrageous quantities of food for reasonable prices if you're willing to wait for it. Remember to BYOB .

Anli Chen

Amazing Korean BBQ ! Usually long line waiting outside so you get plenty of time absorb the great smell. Make sure you get kimchi fried rice . Soooooo good....

Johnny Armstrong

This place rocks. Very authentic feeling and nice atmosphere. Classy Korean and delicious. Byob ftw.

Sean Maccarone-Reed

Probably the best priced Korean BBQ in Chicago. Bulgogi is awesome!

Max Howell

Delicious! But if you don't know how to eat it. Ask. As they don't help. Maybe not even if you ask.

Aya F

Don't expect good service ...BUT expect rippin BBQ and soup ! Great food. Good price. BYOB !

Emily Glaze

I'll start with saying that the food here is delicious. I'll end with saying that we had the worst service that I've ever had.

Sharmeen Islam

Authentic Korean food . I really enjoyed it.

Andrew White

Amazing Korean restaurant . Go early because there are long lines

Teresa

Delicious kbbq. Absolutely a great value for money .

Corey Dixon

The food and presentation is great! The service, not so much. They were waaaay to busy, poorly staffed and it's super small. You have to hang your own coat too. No service for 30 min.

Andy Crosby

Be prepared for a wait if you arrive during dinner hours (6pm-8pm), but it's worth it!

Marita Tantivirasut

Awesome Korean food . Just don't come too hungry. Always a long wait

Ryan Unger

Number 5 on the sharing menu is where it's at!

David Heiser

Surly waitresses , but good prices for Korean BBQ .

Allen Chen

Bulgogi can be too sweet at this place... Just beware if you hate eating sweet stuff.

Miguel Yupangco

Delicious bulgogi and kalbi !

ISC Chicago

Good food, can't say the same about the service, not sure if it was a language or attitude issue, but the staff was definitely much more attentive with Korean-speaking customers

Jacquelin Adam

Love, love, LOVE the food!!! Service however, not so much #rude

Nicholas Knoblauch

Korean BBQ and seafood pancake

Sam Lee

Terrible service and horrible food. We were served with the lowest grade of chadolbaeki while other table were being served as expected. We felt like we were being discriminated by attitude and food.

Christine Tantoco

Get the chadolbagi - at the end they cook the rice and leftovers all together on the grill. Delicious!

Eduardo Salinas

Terrible service, but the Korean cuisine is so good that it doesn't even matter. Been here so many times that the servers stern charm has grown on us.

Michelle Truong

Get the Chadol-Gui. So good.

Vithida Sueblinvong

Doenjang jigae

rohan anand

Adrock Holzer

No soap in the washroom

Jay Peregrine

Just like Seoul!

Le Wang

Foodspotting

Try the Chadol-Gui

Jeff Kean

Try the Chadol-Gui

Jason Romano

This place looks so dirty from the outside, and I'd you walk by the kitchen when the door is open, you would die. I wish they would clean it up bc I'm sure the food is delicious.

Lucy Xiong

Worst service eve. Waitresses , No English and rude

Corey Dixon

Racist Opportunist. Terrible Service. Never Ever Again.

J.Dougall

BAD SERVICE

장점보다는 단점이 많아요. 웨이팅하면서 어쩔수 없이 보인 먼지들.. 한두해 갖고 생긴 먼지가 아닌것 같아요. 화장실을 주방을 통해 들어가는 부분에서도 너무 놀라웠는게 그 역시 벽면에 먼지 청크들이 붙어있는것 보고.. 사람들 왔다갔다 하는 그 주방에서 고기를 자르고 있는 부분...식사 시작 전 부터 속이 안좋았어요..

2시간 기다려서 30분 먹고 나오는 집. 예약불가. 여행자 입장에서 꼭 들러봐야 되나? 그건 아니라고 봄.
