Our first time here! Everything was made to order--we had the galbi, dolsot bibimbap, chicken fried rice, and tteokbokki. Every dish was delicious, so we're already looking forward to coming back and trying more from their menu. Restaurant is clean and service was quick! read more

One of my favorite Mom and Pop restaurants in Naperville. Always fresh and made to order. Friendly Chef/Owner. The place is always immaculately clean. My go to' s are the Bulgogi sliders for appetizers. Tender bulgogi with some fried onions and cheesey sauce on a sweet roll. Also the seafood pancake is another favorite. For mains I love the stews (jigae) the kimchi jigae my fave followed by the sundubu. Dolsot Bibimpap is another of my favorites. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Entrees come with 3 small bowls of bonchon read more

Came back to Gumii for this first time since my last review to grab something to go for lunch. You're still greeted enthusiastically when you walk in, and the food is still absolutely delicious. I wanted to try the try the tteokbokki today and I wasn't disappointed. I didn't opt for any cheese or fish cakes this time because I wanted to taste how it was without first! It's mildly spicy and full of flavor, I'd definitely get this again with both toppings. It also looks like more was added to the menu since my first visit. I've been meaning to take my parents here and I'm going to make it a point to in the near future. read more

I'm a huge fan of Korean cuisine, but I felt like the soondubu was a little lacking in flavor and spice the kimbap was very good though! I noticed a lot of customers ordering the kalbi, so I'll definitely give this place a second chance. The service was phenomenal since the cashier and workers were so friendly and attentive to if we needed anything. The ambiance was nice as well. You order at the counter and then they bring your food to your table. read more

Gumii - Seafood Soondubu - Korean Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Gumii is a Korean restaurant in Wheatland Marketplace off of Route 59. I've only had their food as take out, and it has been delicious every time. My husband would bring back food from Gumii whenever I had a craving for Korean food. Their food would always cheer me up, and the restaurant is family owned. My husband says they're really nice. Korean soups and stews are so comforting. When I was a new mom and bone-tired after coming home from the hospital, I had Gumii's kimchi jigae. I also recently had their spicy beef soup and it was fantastic too. The broth was rich and everything this made with love and care. Eating their food is like a hug. It's been consistently good even after transporting it home from the restaurant. I bet eating at the restaurant would be even better. My husband is a fan of their bibimbap rice bowls. One day, we'll find a time to dine in. Gumii gets five shiny stars for being a humble "mom n pop" place that serves Korean food made with love. read more

This place is great. The boss has a happy, warm attitude. The food is delicious. I was a little bit hungry and wanted some vegetarian or seafood as a snack. The kimbap is delicious. I highly recommend. Prices posted on yelp are just a little outdated. Everything is maybe 4.00 more than what is posted on the menu. read more

Tried out this new Korean spot, and it's kind of a fast casual vibe! I got the kimchi jiggae, and it came with rice and side dishes. They don't have tap water oddly so you have to purchase a bottle. read more

When in Naperville and craving some fast casual Korean food, then Gumii is your place! Their gluten-free options are very limited... so I did not have many choices, so I went with what I could... which was the Bibimbap with Chicken. It was fantastic! And the sides were really tasty as well! The cashier was very knowledgeable on which appetizers/entrees/sauces had gluten, so I am extremely appreciative of that! I really wish they offered more gluten-free options because this was one of the better bibimbap bowls that I have enjoyed! It's also worth noting that the portion size was more than enough for me after not eating on a long flight from Phoenix and drive out from O'hare to Naperville! Gluten-free rating: **TWO STARS** Overall rating: *****FIVE STARS***** read more

Gumii - Bibimbap with chicken! - Korean Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Our go to lunch place in south naperville. Menu is on the smaller side however you won't be disappointed as everything is made from scratch. We normally order chicken Bibimbap(hot bowl) or the Dolsot Bibimbop. The pork Bulgogi is also very tasty. They also have vegetarian and lighter dishes for the health conscious consumer(tofu or seafood stew). Service is very good and restaurant was clean. Highly recommend, Thank you read more

I was looking forward to trying this place based on the reviews, but I found it to be just average. The kimchi cucumber side on my beef bulgogi was very small, like three baby bites worth. If you're thirsty, you have canned and bottles drinks for purchase. You can't even get a glass of ice here. The search for a really good Korean food place in the west suburbs continues... read more

The service was great! The owners definitely make you feel welcomed. I felt like the soon tofu jjigae was lacking some depth of flavor though. Kimbap is delicious! read more

Bi bin bop on sizzling plate was phenomenal. 3x of kimchi, everything was perfect spot on delicious. The freshest ingredients melted together and reminded me of the first time I had it decades ago. We don't live near here and we've driven by it many times but today we stopped in and I am so glad we did if you have a taste for fresh made Korean food with very friendly owner and extremely high-quality food. You cannot beat this place. I would return everything we ordered tasted so fresh and delicious this place gave very high ratings and they deserve everyone of them read more

Ooooooo yummy Gumii!!! My beef japchae was sooooooooo freakin good! Everything about it was perfecto! Flavor, saltiness, oiliness, noodle texture; all exceptional!! I do wish that there were a bit more mushrooms and they offered a bigger portion of the japchae, but regardless, this japchae was my best ever! This is not a fancy restaurant. It's a small, quaint place. It's a buy your food at the counter, grab a table, and enjoy your meal kind of place, but man, they make a mean japchae!! So glad I got a chance to taste my best japchae ever!! read more

This small restaurant in a strip mall has great food! It was well prepared, fresh and just like my mom used to cook. We especially liked the japchae and bulgogi. It was definitely worth the hour drive to get here! The owner, Dale, was very kind and thoughtful. He served us with warm hospitality. read more

Second time here. This time I order regular rice bowel. It cools down pretty fast, so if you eat slow it's getting cold towards the end. I will order the sizzling bowel. The taste of the mixture is best bibimbap I have tried in Lisle and Naperville area. Worth coming another time for soup. read more

This is an excellent mom and pop shop located in Naperville. It's very close to the AMC movie theater and is an awesome choice for lunch or dinner before watching a movie. The owners were very friendly and attentive. We went for lunch and it wasn't busy. We ordered scallion pancakes (added seafood for an extra cost) and gumii bulgogi. The bulgogi automatically comes with rice and sides. Pricing was reasonable for the area. The pancakes were crispy, soft, and easy to cut. They had a good amount of seafood in them as you can tell from the picture. Flavor was on point. Bulgogi was nicely cooked, tender meat, and savory. There is an ample amount of parking available. read more

The first thing you notice about this restaurant is how open and clean it is. You won't feel suspicious about the sanitation of the food served here. I can't believe I've only tried this restaurant now. I ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap: you can get this with beef, tofu, chicken, or seafood. I had it with the chicken. I asked for more vegetables and less rice as well and they were super accommodating! I was pleasantly surprised at how colorful and cute the dish looked. It tasted super good too!! It was slightly oily and the rice didn't make a crust on the sides of the pot which I was a little disappointed about, but I think it might've been because I was impatient and stirred my dish. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this place. I will be back to have more bibimbap and try the soups too! read more

Excellent Korean food and friendly and helpful staff. Food came fast and everything was great.

Rare Korean gem is this area I guess. I'm from Toronto so they r probably a 7 there but closer to 10 here based on availability. The service was quick and they were friendly. The location is clean and operates similar to food court style. The menu options are fair and varied enough that they have a little bit of everything. Unfortunately I forgot the photo of the scallion pancake which was really good. Think the only thing missing was a classic staple which would be pork bone soup. read more

We decided to stop here before going grocery shopping and we are so happy we did! Excellent service and outstanding food!!! The restaurant was bright and clean. The food was so delicous and fresh! The girl at the counter was so friendly. When we were leaving, the owner came out to thank us and we told him we would be back soon! He even taught me how to say thank you in Korean. He obviously has a passion for his business and cares very much about the level of customer service at his restaurant. If you haven't been...go! It is worth it! If you aren't sure what to get, they will guide you through the menu. read more

Gumii - An array of Korean dishes - Korean Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

My friends and I were looking to try something new and someone recommended this place. It's small but clean inside with counter ordering and the food brought out to you on a cafeteria like tray. My friends loved the chicken teriyaki which is priced very reasonably. I couldn't decide so got two small plates one being the scallion pancakes for which I added seafood and the other being the beef bulgogi sliders. I loved, loved the pancakes, so filling, hot and delicious. Didn't quite love the sliders though. I only ate one as I was full from the pancakes and even took off the top bun but I didn't really taste the flavor of the meat. The menu didn't say cheese on it but it tasted like it. Would definitely go back again for the pancakes and try a few other items on the menu that looked enticing. read more

Oh how I wish Gumii was closer to meso that I could go more often! This family run restaurant could be plucked straight out of a k-drama with all the right colors, design, and food. The service is friendly and it was fast when I went. Just order and pay up front. There is enough tables and seating available for everyone in this casual space. It's sparse, but I like that it's not cramped and run down. Food is very, very good. It's prepared with care and plated nicely. Tasty dishes for small and large appetites to choose from. It's traditional, but not stodgy. Prices are understandable considering all the work that goes into making this kind of food. What a great asset to the community! read more

Took my daughter there she loves Korean food and cuisine, and wants to visit South Korea one day. Ordered the Bibimbop with beef. She ordered the Dolsot Bibimbop with chicken. Which she explained to me, the difference between the regular and the dolsot is the fact that it comes in a stone bowl which sort of cooks/fries your rice so it's harder and packed together and thus produces a different taste. She decided she would speak to the owner in Korean and as he came to deliver the dinners, she asked him in Korean, for a fork for me because honestly? I suck with chopsticks, they both laughed, but he said no problem. I was like kind of embarrassed, cause I kind of got the gist of the conversation, even though I didn't understand Korean, but it was OK. They had a great dialogue together. They had a couple of laughs, he told us a story about a Korean celebrity who is somewhat known in this country, showing up in his restaurant and he didn't recognize her at first , he thought she looked familiar, and she really enjoyed his food and he was embarrassed that he didn't remember her name. The whole thing was amusing. Great service, great food, great experience. We'll definitely be returning and it's definitely worth a stop. read more

My husband and I try to get over here as much as we can, we love the food so much!! Everything we've ever had has been excellent. I'd recommend their scallion pancakes and bulgogi definitely, also all their soups! My husband is addicted to their chicken cutlets. If you love kimchi their's is excellent, you really can't go wrong going to Gumii. The service is always excellent as well, and the restaurant itself is comfortable. I was able to take my hard-of-hearing father by this last time and it was a relief to not have to worry about him being able to hear us; a lot of restaurants these days crank their music but Gumii keeps theirs at a nice level. read more
