Great karaoke experience with over 25 people and the Agit Black team took great care of all of us the whole three hours. The appetizers were all flavorful and we had more than enough to enjoy. The haemul pajun (seafood pancake) was crispy and had generous amounts seafood in every bite. The sweet potato fries were surprisingly thin and crispy. And the budaejigae was delicious as well. Super clean rooms and facilities. Would definitely go again for quality of karaoke and food! read more

My husband and I went to Agit Black with some friends for dinner. We got a table right away but it filled up quickly on this Saturday night. We were seated in a private booth that once we had our food delivered, the servers forgot about us. I had to leave the booth and walk to the front desk and ask for our bill and take home boxes. We had the grilled beef bulgogi, the spicy pork bulgogi, and tonkatsu. The food was really good and we had enough to take home. read more

After my great experience at Agit in Niles, I was excited to check out this spot. Though I wasn't able to enjoy karaoke on this visit, I very much enjoyed the restaurant portion of this visit. The setup of this spot is nice, as it own standalone restaurant with plenty of parking. The inside is decorated very nicely, instantly giving you a karaoke vibe when you walk in, though you can easily get away from this atmosphere with their nice private booths to dine in. The furniture is quite comfortable here and it's nice to casually chat while enjoying food and drinks. Service is good here, as there were constant refills of water and servers checking up on our table periodically. The food here is very reasonably priced for the quantity you're getting. It's not hard even without a set meal to only spend a little over $20 for salad, banchan, rice, and entree. The food itself was quite delicious overall and I loved the colorful presentation. The banchan was a fairly standard set, about the same you'd find anywhere else -- the korean jelly salad was a little different from normal and quite enjoyable. The grilled beef bulogi was a bit closer to japanese gyudon for me (with a cabbage base) that I still found to be delicious but just not the thin slices of beef that I was expecting. The spicy pork bulgogi was quite a surprise, as this had a nice smoky flavor to it that made it taste similar to BBQ. It wasn't too spicy and it had a nice tenderness. The tonkatsu is pounded quite thin and very crispy. The sauce is nice and tangy and overall this is similar to the versions I found in food courts in Asia. I wish though they offered a curry version of this as well, as I think it would pair very nicely. Overall, I was impressed with my restaurant visit here. The interior is very nice looking and the setup is convenient for bringing in friends. On my next visit I'll have to give Karaoke a try, which I expect to be good if they offer a similar room setup and equipment to the Niles location. read more

I had this place on my list for awhile now. I went to the original location in Niles a few times but this newer one is more modern and chic. Parking lot, it depends on the time and day you come. We went on a Saturday and most of the parking spots were filled. When you walk in, they have more than enough places to eat, most of the people come for karaoke. The employees were all very kind and attentive. They made sure we got everything we needed. We did karaoke right after dinner, and they were able to find us a room on a busy Saturday night. The karaoke room was clean and easy to use once you get the ball going. It was $30 for 2 people for one hour. For food, I wanted to try some new items and not get the same stuff that we get at other Korean restaurants. Prices were about the same as the other location. Portions were sufficient, you're not going to go hungry. I would return here. -jjam ppong (seafood spicy soup, vegetables, and noodles) 5 - there was crab, mussels, and shrimp in there. Soup is spicy but not overwhelming. Don't let the noodles stay in there too long otherwise it gets too soggy. -modum sukhoe (assorted steamed seafood) 5 - I ate these with white rice, garlic pieces, and jalapeños for more taste. They also taste good in the soup. -dakddongjib twigim (deep fried chicken gizzard) 5 - I love these. A little chew and crispy, it goes well with the dipping sauces. read more

My friend made a reservation for 7 people and when we got there, there wasn't a lot of people. They kind of stuck us in the corner. Took awhile for them to come back, after I rung the attendance bell. We ordered for everyone to share. The cheese in the corn cheese was all clumpy and there was so much liquid at the bottom. The seafood panjeon was decent. We got the grilled beef bulgogi and that wasn't too bad. The grilled pork rib felt overcooked and dry. We also got the grilled spicy octopus. That was good but mannnn it's SPICY! The chicken wings were nice and crispy but had no flavors a lot, granted it came with a variety of dipping sauces. I wish it was slightly salty or something at least. The beef fried rice was pretty good too. We also did karaoke afterwards. It was $50/hr and the room they put us in was pretty big too. The controls were confusing, and I feel like the waitress didn't really know how to do the controls. It wasn't a big deal since some of the functions were labeled in English. They have a pretty decent selection of old and new songs. read more

My coworker introduced me to Agit Black on Dec 19 2025 and the Host/Server Anna was so so nice. Her hospitality is also another reason my coworker and I loved this place. She was so welcoming and remembered my coworker from a previous visit. But anyways let's talk about the food. We ordered the (Tteokbbokki) it was my absolute favorite! Loved the sweetness. My coworker said it was too sweet for her. More for me. But anyways it was a good amount of rice cake, fish cake and I loved how they gave us 3 Gyozas and 3 fried Glass Noodle Rolls. (Corn Cheese) Omg it was My favorite. I don't what they put in it to make it taste so good. But I devoured the whole thing. Im lactose in tolerant too and I had no issues. (Popcorn Chicken) Anna said they made it in house. It was fried & well seasoned little cubes that came with 2 different types of sauces & a small salad. (Chicken Yuja Salad) was not my favorite. The chicken was good but it was a bit flavorless for me and I felt it didn't really go with the salad it came in. But thats just my opinion. (Haemul Ramen) was my coworkers favorite. She loved the Crab, shrimp, Mussels that were in it. Good amount of noodles to share amongst 2 people. (Salted Prawn) it was good only wished the prawn was more fresh. Highly recommend if your in the area. They have Kareoke too. The Ambiance was cute with the Line Characters on the floor and the Cool 3D Logo in the front by the Bar. I will definitely be back! read more

This new Agit location sounds all kinds of fancy ---- Agit BLACK! High class! I love it, lol. I was back in the Chi this week and my friends and I popped into this new KBar for some weekend fun. Really cute vibes, awesome staff (Yale's the best!), tons of food and drink options. PLUS---nohraebang! Who doesn't like a little private sing/rap session after a couple drinks?! I'm glad the suburb Korean bar scene is thriving and expanding. Loved Agit Black and will most def be back!!! read more

Shin Ramen came out with their premium version, Shin Ramen Black. I was thrilled when I heard that Agit Black, the sister restaurant of Agit Bar & Grill, had opened in Rolling Meadows - closer to home and giving the same great vibes! This pub/lounge delivers a classy and fancy ambiance, giving it a premium Shin Ramen Black vibe #iykyk. They offer Karaoke rooms like the Niles location, although I haven't had the chance to check it out yet, I'm excited! The menu offers some familiar favorites along with new additions, so there's something for everyone! I tried a variety of dishes, from soy sauce marinated shrimp to fish cake soup in a kettle. You can never go wrong with their grilled spicy octopus, though I wished for more of the sides! It's never enough for the amount of octopus we get! I also thought the grilled spicy octopus was a bit more on the sweeter side here. The various beef stew was hearty and perfect with the dipping sauce, while the fish cake soup hit the spot and brought back memories of Korea. I appreciated the thoughtful touch of separate dipping cups for the soy sauce! However, not every dish hit the mark for me. The marinated shrimp, while tasty, left me wanting more in terms of portion size, and the sauce on the salmon didn't quite complement the fish as I'd hoped. The thinly sliced beef didn't impress, with its texture lacking compared to other Korean pubs, and the addition of sprinkled cheese wasn't to my taste. Despite some misses, the overall experience at Agit Black was enjoyable, thanks to the welcoming vibe, good service, and standout dishes. I recommend visiting with friends or a lover to explore the menu and savor the diverse flavors! read more

In my early 20s, I'd go with my Korean friends to the "norebangs" (private karaoke rooms) in Chicago. We'd go in about 15 people deep, order food and drinks for everyone and take turns belting out the karaoke classics, new and old. I never thought there would be such an experience in the suburbs, but here it is! Agit Black is a super trendy and classy establishment with private rooms that we enjoyed as a family! That's right, for my wife's birthday, we took our three kids (4, 10, 14yo) to a private room. It was $40/per hour, in a cozy room with a disco ball and lights, fully amplified sound, state-of-the-art karaoke player, 3 wireless microphones, and big-screen tv. My wife and I had a blast, but the kids felt a little uncomfortable as we sang our hearts out, in front of the servers as they came in to bring us food. The food was good, though a little pricey. The kids enjoyed fries and chicken nuggets and we had some Korean juice and tea that brought me back to some fond memories of Korea town in Chicago, proving to me that Agit Black is 100% authentic. One note, the karaoke controls have a Korean UI, but the host was great about explaining the settings and buttons. For those who are less adventurous, this could be a point of concern, but it shouldn't dissuade you from stopping in! Lastly, for those with kids, sometimes the videos that automatically appear in the background of the karaoke screen lyrics feature scantily-clad women dancing in a sexually suggestive manner. If this is of concern to you, let the host know so that you can learn how to forward the video. read more

A newly opened restraunt and kareoke bar in town. Upon walking in, it's super trendy and well lit. Proces are as standard korean food goes. Service is really awesome, with them checking in here and there.. or if you need to call them over sooner, they have a bell ring system. Easy and simple to order oflr prevent that awkward, I just took a huge bite and you came over to check up on us situation! As for the food, we got the cold noodles, tteobokki, and seafood pancake, and all of them hit just right. Our favorite being the Tteobokki as it really is a comfort food on a nice spring day. Although we have not tried the kareoke part yet, we will be back to give it another try as their prices arent bad! And it looks like a lot of fun. read more

This place is so authentic and unique. Great atmosphere, private dining experience and option for Karaoke rooms ($40 per person/room). Our server was able to talk us through the menu, because if you're not Korean or familiar with the foods it's hard to know what to order. She was very helpful and her suggestions were good. We definitely want to come try it again, it was fun and different. read more

From the moment my son and I walked in, Agit Black delivered on every level. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between modern and cozy, making it feel both stylish and welcoming. We were immediately impressed by the warm service (Diana?) --attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food. Now the food... phenomenal. Every dish we tried was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. Everything was perfectly marinated and grilled to perfection and the sides were fresh and addictive (we couldn't stop eating)! The attention to detail and authenticity really made each bite memorable. We left full, happy, and already talking about when we'll be back. Whether you're a Korean food lover or trying it for the first time, Agit Black is a must-visit. This place deserves all the hype--can't recommend it enough! read more

Agit Black - Korean Near Me - Rolling Meadows, Illinois

Wonderful food, great service, and casual ambiance. I recommend coming here. You're seated in a private booth with a curtain. There's a buzzer on the side that you can ring if you need service but they do come and check on you. This was my first time trying Korean food and it was delicious. We tried the seafood pancakes, corn with cheese, salted shrimp, hot shrimp soup and a shrimp dish with potatoes and veggies which was very good with garlic bread. I will definitely come back when in the area. They do have karaoke rooms if interested. There's a special going on until the end of September from 4-6 all dishes are 30% off so go give them a try. read more

Came in for Karaoke and was immediately hit with a stench of pure sewage. It got worse the further we went in and especially in our karaoke room. The room was also extremely hot which made it less enjoyable. The only positive was the selection of songs and ability to control the mic settings. Didn't try the food so I have no opinion on that aspect. read more

Visiting for a convention and found this place recently opened. Service was attentive and the fried squid and gizzard complimented soju and beer very nicely.
