I got quesabirria tacos and a birria ramen. The tacos were good, at least the bites with meat but it was all cheese and very little meat. So disappointed, the tacos were $5 due to the inflated prices in old post office. They should be packed with beef, instead they went cheap and filled it with cheese, just see the pics. The ramen was the same deal, very little beef, which sucks because the consume and the beef is decent. I paid 27$ for two quesabirria tacos and a birria remen and I'm disappointed. Not going back after this. If I want to cheese then this is all you, but if you want some meat in your food go someplace else.

My husband, who typically isn't a fan of tostones, absolutely loved the tostones appetizer! Our party also ordered the empanadas. The shell had this delicious, slightly sweet corn flavor that was just outstanding. Everyone loved their food. I ordered the Pabellón dish and it came out looking like a work of art! The perfectly arranged shredded chicken had a hint of cinnamon (at least to my taste), alongside flavorful black beans, gently sweet plantains, and white rice to balance everything out. It was topped with a chunk of squeaky, fried cheese! Everything came together beautifully. I also thoroughly enjoyed the cocada, a Venezuelan coconut drink. It was sweet, delicious, and kind of delicate tasting. It had tons of coconut, which you had to chew. If you love coconut, you have to try it! Overall, a fantastic experience. Great atmosphere and incredible food. I cannot wait to come back!

I'm happy to report that when I went recently, we still really enjoyed it. It was my boyfriend's first time and he is now a fan and we both recommended it to our friend who lives in the area. You can also make reservations if you'd like although the times I've been, walking in is also fine. Last time we got the Bienmesabe Sampler, which is enough appetizers to share with four people lol. Our ranking of the items in the sampler were the tostones (soooo good), tequeño (my boyfriend loved), mandioca, and then the empanadas. The empanadas are my least favorite - I'd prob see if I could sub it out for something else in the future. I do like that they provide an assortment of empanadas. Then we got a cachapa with chicken - the cachapa itself was so good although next time we would try a different protein. Lots of delicious cheeses to be found - lactose-intolerant people should prepare accordingly.

I really hate to say only bad things about a restaurant since I know how much hard work goes into running a restaurant, but this place does not value their customers nor do they value basic food decency.

The food took about 10-15 minutes, and both items came out to about $45 after tip. The Vodka Chicken Parm Sandwich (8.7/10) was definitely the star. The sesame bread was perfect with a crispy crust, soft interior, and tons of sesame seeds. The creamy, cheesy vodka sauce was the best vodka sauce I've had so far. The chicken got a little soggy from the sauce, but that's expected. The meat-to-bread ratio was great, though I wouldn't complain about a little more chicken. It also wasn't spicy at all. They ran out of sandwiches within 10 minutes of opening (around 10 people ordered). The Pepperoni Pizza (8.5/10) reminded me of L'Industrie with its thin Neapolitan-style crust. The pepperoni and Mike's Hot Honey were the perfect combo. The pepperoni had a nice crisp, the hot honey added sweetness without much heat, and the crust was airy and crispy. The center got a little soggy after sitting for a while, but overall it was still delicious. Overall, it was definitely worth messing up my diet for. I wouldn't wait in a super long line, but if there's little to no wait, it's absolutely worth trying.

That's exactly how we ended up at Del Seoul! We were walking by, saw the food, smelled all that goodness, and knew we had to stop. Even one of the diners told us the food was good and that we would enjoy it. That was all the confirmation we needed! Del Seoul is a quaint little spot with a dining area that isn't very large, along with additional seating on the side. When you enter, you place your order at the counter. One thing to know if you're dining with a group: everyone in your party must be present when ordering. We had a group of four, and they prepared a table for us. Ordering was easy, and Reilly was very friendly and helpful, which made our first visit even better. We started with the Kimchi Fries for the table. I didn't really taste much of the kimchi flavor, but the fries were still good. We also grabbed a bottle of Mango Soju to share. It wasn't overly sweet, and we decided shots were the way to go. Cheers! For my meal, I ordered the Bulgogi Bento Box, which came with grilled, thinly sliced flatiron steak with sautéed onions, an egg and scallion omelette, mixed greens with ginger vinaigrette, and steamed rice. The bulgogi was the star for me. The steak was tender, flavorful, and very tasty, and everything in the bento box worked well together. Definitely a satisfying meal! What started as a simple walk-by turned into a delicious Chicago food stop. If you're a Chicago native or visiting the city like I am, give Del Seoul a try. Sometimes you just have to follow the aroma! Five stars from me!

The Sesame-Chili Shrimp Taco was my favorite. The shrimp stayed crispy and had the best flavor. The Sambal Fish Taco was a little soggy, while the Kalbi, BBQ Pork, and BBQ Chicken were all on the drier side. I honestly still prefer traditional Mexican tacos over these. The K-Town Chicken Wings (7.5/10) were my favorite item. They weren't breaded, but the sweet soy, chili, and garlic glaze was delicious. The skin had a nice firm bite, which I really liked.

Bartender was super attentive and friendly, constantly checking in, chatting with us, and getting us what we needed.

We took the standing at the bar option. There were several tables in that area not occupied the entire time we ate there, and to add to the oddness, a party of six came in as we were on our way out the door and they were offered indoor seating with a 20 minute wait.

So I ordered the daily special that was Jägerschnitzel (hunter's schnizel/breaded pork tenderloin with a mushroom gravy or sauce) and for an appetizer I ordered jalapeño poppers along with the authentic German goulash soup and pumpernickel bread were very good. The Jägerschnitzel sauce that is a mushroom sauce was a little unique but very good.

I was all excited to try what sounds like yummy fusion food. Currywurst? Doners? Count me in! Uh...then I saw their mobile truck artwork. The mural features a prominent young, superthin woman in a bikini with what appears to be women in burkas in front of her and a male superhero hypermasculine male with exaggerated muscles who appears to be staring at the woman in a bikini. I cannot support a business who uses sex stereotypes harmful to both women and men to advertise their products. This strikes me as a bunch of dudes who swallowed that male liberal bull that using women in bikini's to sell products and celebrating the veiling of women is supporting some sort of "freedom of choice" for women. Sorry, guys, it's just the same old madonna/whore stereotypes given an Orwellian doublethink label of "sex positive!" by pornified male progressives and their female enablers. Nope. Sex slavery is NOT freedom, fellas. Few people would give their dollars to a business that exploits people of color and uses racist stereotypes in their advertising. It's time we raised the bar, people, and judged sex stereotypes that exploit and objectify women and dehumanize men by the same standards. read more

The server complained non stop from the instant he came over, he said most of the menu wasn't actually available anymore - I think he called it the menu a farce. They have a variety of martinis on the menu that we asked about and he said the owner brought in a ton of awful syrups that he didn't even try first that are all supposed to flavor the martinis. The server kept going on and on to the point where we were wondering if we should just leave and cancel our whole order. He caught on eventually and made it seem like his cocktails were great, so we stayed for an app and a few drinks, but we were eyeing the door the whole time.

Chicken Soup is $2.00 on Google and $7.95 on the house menu. I'm unsure if the restaurant controls the Google prices, but these menu prices are sometimes 300% or more. Regarding the food, I liked everything, especially the sandwiches. The sandwich portion was so big that I only ate half of it because they give you a lot for the money. I'm enclosing a picture of half of the Cevap Sandwich with fries; the rest I'll have for dinner tonight. Your best bet is to split a sandwich and order an appetizer. There is lots of free parking.

This Balkan deli has lots of other cuisine from the region too, such as Serbian beef burger meat, roast pork, roast lamb, Sarma (stuffed cabbage with ground beef), pastries and cakes. We sat in to eat 2 types of burek (a buttery rolled up philo dough-like pastry) with two kinds of fillings -the Spinach and Cheese burek is apparently a popular filling and I can see why! It was cut into quarters, and had a texture that reminded me of a satisfying bite of pizza -the Beef burek was great too! One quarter of it was enough to fill me up. Take note that if you bring some burek home as leftovers, grill it on the stove or reheat in an air fryer. You do it right, it makes the most wholesome crunch when you bite into it. We also ordered a sour cherry cheesecake torte, just because it was so pretty. Couldn't remember the price, but it was definitely worth it. I was reluctant to buy the cevapi at first, because $20 seemed ridiculous for a plate of 10 pieces, but a gentleman convinced us to buy a batch of uncooked cevapi, 20 for just $22. We took it home and once lightly pan fried, we fell in love. I would fit 2 or 3 pieces topped with stone ground mustard, between 2 pieces of bagel or bread. This fed us for several days! According to a family member, Sandy's has been operating in that location for 35 years, and sells a variety of Balkan liquor, drinks, snacks and more. A bit pricey for lunch but worth at least a visit!
