    Lamb gochu twigim
    Clara S.

    We stumbled in because we were in the area, and I'm so glad we did! We sat at the bar and enjoyed the lychee cocktail and a variety of dishes. We got the short rib guksu, which was my favorite. It was similar to ramen broth but with korean style guksu noodles. The bibimen was a little too similar to this dish just without the broth, and wasn't anything like the bibimyun I've had in my korean culture. It's definitely on the heavier side - the ground meat and sauce to noodle ratio was too high and salty/heavy in my opinion. The shrimp and crab soup dumplings though were delicious. The lamb gochu twigim was nothing at all what I expected - it was more of a fried egg roll. My fiancé liked these but I could have skipped. Service was prompt and quick. The place is nice inside. I'd definitely like to try more dishes next time, as the flavors were very good just not really what I was expecting because it's much more fusion than sticking to the original cuisine.

    Marshmallow Brûlée Sundae

    Bigsuda is a great spot for some inventive Asian-fusion flavors! The space is vibey, but not super upscale where you can both make a cute date night out of it, but also can have a chill dinner if you prefer instead. The staff is super friendly and were helpful in explaining the menu! The food we ordered was all good and as described by our waiter. Our favorite dish was the Galbi & Pork Mandoo, while it felt like the Marshmallow Brulee Sundae missed the mark as the ice cream seemed a bit stale (although the brûlée toppings were a super unique combination of flavors). The only reason I'm giving Bigsuda a 4 vs 5 star is because I personally would not crave to get the dishes I got this time around again (in addition to the aforementioned, we also got Kurobuta Pork XLB, Elote Mandoo, and the Ojingeo Ceviche). However, there were a lot of other menu items that peaked my attention and sounded super tasty so I'd definitely go back to see if we missed some must-gets this first time!

    Subtle Asian Fusion place! It's quaint and peaceful inside. The Korean Mandoo is the go to, along with the Nara crunchy wings. Lychee Lush cocktail blew me away, fresh lychee fruits on top. Pricepoint great, and the servers were polite and helpful. Thanks Bigsuda!

    Really interesting newer Korean fusion spot! My friend and I paid a late night visit after a show and were intrigued by the menu, which featured both reimagined takes on traditional dishes and new concepts altogether. We started with the kimchi and pork steamed mandoo, pork xiaolongbao, and the sweet corn mandoo. I felt that the first two were a little on the bland side- the mandoo could have used a stronger kimchi flavor and the soup dumplings could have had more flavor in the broth. The sweet corn mandoo, however, was excellent. I loved the creamy sauce and diced apple- it was a wonderfully executed concept. We also split the bibimmen, which was absolutely decadent and not for the faint-of-stomach! It reminded me a lot of carbonara with its rich sauce and deep pork flavor, but was also very spicy. My only complaint is that the pork belly was a bit overcooked and chewy. Throughout the meal, the employees were very attentive and professional. Overall, I really enjoyed the visit and will definitely return to try more of the menu!

    this place was so good! came here with 2 other people & we were sat immediately for lunch saturday afternoon. we came for the dumplings but were intrigued by the rest of their menu so we got a bunch of things to try! the place was super cute, a little smaller but it's nice when it's that way. we've already recommended this place to friends & the loved it as much as we did! will def be coming back!

    Solid spot for soup dumplings and other comfort dishes. Nice outdoor seating area and friendly staff. Got the porchini & gruyere kurobuta soup dumplings, which were delicious. Nice size and perfect amount for two people. Also got the bibimmen because I saw so many reviews talking of it. I've only had bibimbap before, so the noodle version was a cool twist on my favorite Korean dish. They also have a pretty legit offering of beers including Sapporo and Cass. This is a really solid Wicker Park soup dumpling option, and I'll definitely be back

    Lychee Lush
    James W.

    Amazing blend of flavors with juicy soup dumplings and my favorite dish of Jellyfish Bruschetta. Walked in reading the sign that read "Soup Dumplings and More" and the MORE really hit hard. Their mandoo and soup dumplings are their specialty, but they also have delicious appetizers, shrimp fried rice, and dombe guksu. I really liked their Lychee Lush highball cocktail but their other drinks all sound phenomenal. Their desserts are slightly on the small side but they taste good, especially their chocolate mousse. The staff are friendly and helpful and the restaurant has a quaint, dark dining environment with a somewhat romantic setting.

    NEW FAVORITE PLACE! This was one of the best family-style dining experiences I've had in the city. It's the kind of place where dishes land in the center of the table hot and fast, and everyone reaches in with chopsticks and intrigue on what they're gonna get next. The soup dumplings and noodles are the stars for me. This place proves that soup dumplings can be done outside of Chinatown. It's not cheap, but it feels worth it. Go with a group and order heavy. Maybe skip the drink so you can eat more. You won't regret it. - AD

    My partner and I wanted to try a new place! So we out this Asian fusion spot on a Friday night. First off, the xiao long bao were amazinggg, juicy, and absolutely packed with flavor. Probably the best I've had!! A total must-order. I also really enjoyed the jeera pork ribs--super flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. The cumin seasoning really stood out in the best way and gave them a unique, delicious twist. The crabby clam puffs were super crispy and well-executed, but the flavor profile was a bit much for me. We felt like it was bold to the point of overwhelming. Still tasty, just felt like the flavors were all over the place. Then there was the lamb gochu twigim, which totally surprised us. It came out looking like a lumpia, the real win was the dipping sauce because it had that slight spice and it helped tie the dish together. Not what we expected for sure That said, the ambiance is incredible; very decorative, with dim lighting that sets a really relaxing, intimate mood. It's the kind of place where you want to sip on a drink and linger over your food. Just a great vibe all around. Be prepared, though: this place gets packed. There was a line out the door after we got seated, and it stayed busy the entire time we were there. Definitely a hot spot, and it's easy to see why!

    Bibbimen, xiaolongbao, eggplant tempura

    Pretty good casual Asian fusion place in wicker park! Food is definitely fusion / Americanized but was a good experience! Service is also really nice and quick as well. Portions were huge

    Veggie mandoo
    Sam P.

    Beautiful restaurant that has an amazing garage door and outside eating area. Our service was fair but the food was very good! The shrimp and crab soup dumplings were delicious, I love that the menu instructs you how to eat it properly. Their house sauce with ginger is amazing. We also ordered veggie mandoo and chicken wings which were great additions to our lunch.

    Truly a pleasant lunch experience. We arrived at noon on a Sunday and there's no wait. Food was served quickly and tasted good. Even our picky toddler enjoyed the soft and flavorful ribs appetizer. The shrimp and crab Xiaolongbao passed our taste test and the noodles soup was also a unique take on of pho + ramen. Would recommend this place if you are in Wicker Park.

    Cabbage Tofu Pocket
    Bryan M.

    We tried Bugsuda in Wicker Park and overall had a great experience with the food. The cabbage tofu pocket was surprisingly delicious and such a good start. I ordered the dombe guksu with crispy golden fried chicken thigh. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the chicken was flavorful and crisp, and the broth was rich and tasty--though I did find it getting saltier the more I ate. My partner had the gaji twigim with a side of rice, and it was excellent. The eggplant was cooked perfectly, the sauce was packed with flavor, and pairing it with rice made it even better. The interior of the restaurant is pretty and has a nice vibe. Service was on the slower side. When we checked in, the server handed us menus and pointed to where to sit instead of walking us over. It wasn't a big deal for us, but I can see how that might feel off-putting for others. Pricing is fair for the quality, and we definitely plan to come back--next time to try their soup dumplings.

    How spicy are the dishes? What could the spice options be comparative to? I am looking at the spicy tofu ttukbaegi but it says it is "very spicy".

    Expensive considering the portions but yummy food! Got the dinner for 2 and minced beef noodles…read more The best part were the dumplings. I could taste that they were handmade and very flavorful. Second was the charcoal half chicken. The coconut rice was had a light coconut flavor which was good bc it didnt alter the taste of the chicken. I'd skip on the salad and minced beef noodles next time. The noodles were a lil too thick n chewy for me. Salad was nothings special, just eating large chunks of cabbage. The Sparrow Mallorc was also really good and refreshing, not overly sweet. The egg tarts had a creamy delicious custard and the dough was fluffy like a croissant, not crisp like pie. I prefer crisp but would still recommend. I also got the chai carrot cake which is really good. The chai spice compliments the sweetness well and walnut chunks add nice texture . I want to try all their desserts at Bird Bird Bakery bc the flavors are so unique and actually really good, unlike other bakeries that try to use interesting flavors but make it overly sweet. The staff were chill and kind. Pretty laid back, you have to get your own utensils and water. I do love that they have their own hot sauces. The brown one with tamarind was my favorite. Nice decos, not overly showy or fancy. Still family friendly n chill. The bench had nice comfy cushions.

    So nice to have another option for Korean food in the Lakeview neighborhood! This local spot is…read moreserving up a wide variety of traditional fare alongside some popular street food staples. The interior has a fun k-pop inspired decor and the vibe was pretty calm on a weeknight. This is a nice place to visit for a no frills, quality meal. The staff was attentive and efficient throughout. We started off with a generous amount of complimentary banchan, so we knew we'd be in for a treat. The pickled radish and kimchi particularly stood out. For appetizers, we ordered the fried rice cakes and kimchi pajeon. Both were extra crispy and super well done! The former was dressed in a delicious sweet and spicy sauce. For mains, we split the dubu kimchi (spicy pork with tofu), jaengban guksu (green tea noodles), and the weekly special, jogbal (pig's trotters). The first dish was my favorite, although I wish the pork had been more tender and the tofu stir-fried in with the dish. The green tea noodles were refreshing and light- I could definitely drink the sweet and spicy sauce! I had not tried pig's trotters before, and it was among the most tender meat I've had. I'm not sure it's for me personally, but if you are a fan of very strong, meaty flavors, this is definitely worth a try. We left very full with plenty of leftovers, so the food is a great value. Already looking forward to the next visit and trying more of the menu!

I got the spicy pork belly bowl and everything was fantastic even the lettuce which is seasoned in a sesame dressing. The pork belly was nicely seasoned and the provided a spicy side sauce which only complimented the pork belly even more The banchans on the side were a nice touch but I wanted to give an honorable mention to the spicy Kim Chi. Oh my, this has to be the best Kim Chi I have ever tasted, spicy, sour and umami. I am ready to buy a whole jar and eat this for the rest of my life ! Service was amazing! They saw that I demolished the Kimchi and brought me double servings without any extra charge. The restaurant was extremely clean with kpop music playing along with kpop decor . Super cute! Counting down the days until I can go back !
