We were completely shocked when food was delivered and we got the bill! Im Korean and I know what other restaurants charge for the same food. Outrageous!!! At least other Korean restaurants make their food in the kitchen and not buy it at the H-Mart (Korean grocery) and serve it as their own. I have lived in the city for over 10yrs, been to more restaurants than I care to remember but never been so outraged by price and such bad food. Im very upset that they serve store bought Korean food and serve to non-Koreans who might not recognize it.

• Pros: none
• Cons: Extremely expensive for store bought food!

If you are in a hurry- TURN AROUND

by mlv4718

The food is ok at the most. The service is just horrible. One waitress that can barely handle 2 tables without looking aggrivated and yelling at the kitchen staff. When I asked for soda the answer was "we dont have any soda, I told him (the owner) we didnt have any this morning but he didnt get it so we have water". When I asked for tea I was brought a glass of tea with what I thought was sugar since it was in a sugar container, but endedup being salt! Took an hour to get my food after I told them I was in a hurry.Needless to say, I do not recomend this restaurant to anyone wich is a shame since the south loop only has a select few choices.

Best Korean food around!

by eattolive80

If you want not only healthy but absolutely delicious Korean food, this is the place to be. It's a Chicago secret! The best bibimbop you will ever eat! It comes in so many varieties you can have one each day of the week. And you have to try the chicken teriyaki. I've been to dozens of Japanese restaurants, but this place has the best homemade sauce hands down. AUTHENTIC! I've even seen people buying the sauce to take home. Another favorite of mine is the bulgogi, grilled beef, cooked right in front of you and make sure to get a nice steaming bowl of kimchi jigae right along with it! The wait staff is kind and courteous and the karaoke is a blast!

• Pros: Staff, food, service, fun!

Great Food! Great Place!!

by ncsc

I love to dining at Korean Restaurant...but not many in Chicago downtown. I can enjoy one great Korean Restaurant in my town now. Try Spicy Fofu Soup in a ware bowl (if you don't like too spicy then you could ask for a mild soup^^) with their many vege side dishes...Delicious!! And people are very friendly!!

Meh

by meatmountain

I recently moved here from San Francisco, and I enjoy good Korean food. This place was more expensive than what I am used to, and, quite frankly, was extremely dissapointing. I do not think it's easy to screw up Korean food, but this place manages to do that.

Near West Side eatery challenges foodies' definition of Korean food.

In Short
A black-and-white banner shouts the presence of what could otherwise be another storefront among office buildings. Inside, patrons side on black wooden chairs with a view of a flatscreen behind a long, illuminated bar, while copper-toned walls accent brown paneling and light-skinned booths. Those seeking "Seoul" food dive into house specials like hot spicy stir-fried pork belly and squid. For the not so adventurous: chicken teriyaki with white or fried rice and veggies.
