Here is some very authentic Korean food. I really liked their kimchee. I do think the serving is a little small but, I also like to eat a lot, so there's that. :) read more

Does not disappoint. We had the bulgogi and the bibimbap. More to try. All looks good. Bibimbap is an experience- the sizzle the rice crust the egg. It all works. It's a small, friendly, family run restaurant. It's clearly cooked to order and served with pride. Check it out. We'll be back. read more

Love this place. A little empty at noon on Sunday but quickly filled up. Low expectations but upon entering, reminded me of a family-owned Korean resto, cute little curtain over the expediting window gives it away The menu doesn't shy away from a combination of familiar items for people not familiar with Korean food but also has items like kimchi jigae! Concept is fast casual although they make food to order so may be a bit of a wait longer than typical fast casual. I don't mind waiting for freshly made food. Tried bibimbap bowls and the kimchi jigae. The bowls are a good size, just enough food, had kimchi and a corn/apple banchan. The kimchi jigae was deep flavored, my son at it all. Overall would definitely return. They have a few items that are seasonal which is appreciated. Hurry and come visit, need to give this small business that love it deserves. read more

Good and fresh food. Every time I go!!! I have loved Bip n Bop Since college and have not found a place for good Korean food since. Well until Gumii's!!! Their spin on Bip n Bop is light, refreshing and filling. My wife loves the chicken fried rice which is a little different than what most people are use to. Gumii's is a place if you never tried Korean food but be careful they will set the bar high for any other place. Just tell them the 3 sauce guy sent you. read more

I love Gumii, when I saw a new Spicy Beef Soup on their menu, I had to try it. It came to the table in a stone bowl and was simmering in the bowl. Came with a side of rice, kimchi and egg omlette piece. This soup tasted incredible, so much flavor with just enough spice to make you sweat a little but not overwhelming. This will be one of my new favorites. I really find that Gumii just can't go wrong, I really enjoy everything on the menu. read more

The food was great plus they were really nice 10/10 I ordered the teriyaki bulgogi , dumplings and japchae and everything Came out sooo good my sister ordered the regular bulgogi read more

All I can say is the food was very tasty and seasoned nicely! I will go back and visit them again;))

One of my favorite spots in Chicago suburbs for Korean food. The employee who took my order was very nice. Great customer service and all cooks were wearing mask too. Inside is very clean and food was great. Very happy with this place read more

Love everything about this restaurant. Great ambiance, food, and service. Food is always fresh and delicious.

I picked up an order to go from Gumii since I was in the area. I had the seafood soondubu. Normally at other Korean restaurants the seafood soondubu has a variety of seafood but at Gumii there was only some small shrimp. The soondubu was also not spicy at all which was disappointing. My friend also mentioned that the portion sizes are way smaller when you dine in versus taking it to go. I really wanted to like it especially since the owners seem really nice. read more

Very cute place with nice staff. Not a large menu but good selection. I had the dumpling soup. The dumplings were pretty good but the broth was watery and didn't have much flavor beside sesame. My mom got the hotpot bibimpop. It was great! We also had the scallion pancake, which was good. The prices were a little high for the quality and they only give you two little cups of sides and if you want more, you have to pay for them. The restaurant was clean and the woman at the counter was very friendly and sweet. Really wanted to try the Kimchi fries (fries, Kimchi, bulgogi, cheese). read more

Pretty solid, been here many times now, mostly for lunch. I pretty much get the Chicken Cutlets (basically Chicken Katsu) and it's really good, better than most Japanese restaurants and the portion is big. My wife really likes the bi bim bop. We've had the kimchi (?) fries and they area decent, but have had better at other Korean places (though not in IL). Service is really good, the owners are super nice! I've never seen the place that busy though so I hope they can stay in business. read more

Outstanding! Great food and enjoyed the atmosphere! A definite place on my dinner list.

Very clean quiet place, relaxing piano instrumental music, I order a spicy beef soup, it comes with a white rice bowl on the side, cucumber mini salad and kimchi. Staff is super nice and they greed everyone who walks in through the door, they clean the tables right away after people leaving. I do recommend this place read more

Overjoyed! Overjoyed! So happy to have another Korean restaurant open in Naperville! Gumii is located in a strip mall on the southeast corner of IL Route 59 and 95th Street. As of now, this is the only Korean restaurant in southern Naperville / Fox Valley area. There is spacious seating for about 34 people. This is a casual, fast food-ish restaurant--you order at the counter and they bring your food out to you (no waiters). Everything is cooked fresh when ordered so be prepared to wait ten minutes. If you are in a rush, then call ahead :) Upon walking in, the first thing I noticed is how clean this restaurant is (tables, chairs, floors, etc.). Bathrooms are super clean, too. All of that is a good sign that the owners care about food safety and sanitation. The second thing I noticed is how friendly and welcoming the owners are. This is true Korean hospitality -- "welcome, welcome, come in, how are you today, what would you like to eat" -- so warm and cheerful. Each time I have been here, the owner is at the counter and greets me as soon as I walk in. What I like most about this place (other than being close to my home) is that they serve KIMBAP! Kimbap is the quintessential lunch box (dosirak)/road trip/take out food. I always stop here to pick up kimbap when traveling back-and-forth from Aurora to Springfield. When you look at it, you might think, "it doesn't look like much." But if you knew how much preparation goes into preparing the vegetables (carrots and spinach), cooked egg, and eomuk (fish cake), and then rolling it all up, you would greatly appreciate it when someone else makes it for you. At home, it could take an hour to prep all the ingredients. Here, I can simply walk in, pay $5 and save a lot of time. Additionally, the cook does a great job on the scallion pancakes--a savory pancake, typically with green onion, onion, and carrots. The pancakes have the right amount of crispy outside and moist inside, and not over-greasy. For an additional fee, you can have seafood or kimchi added to the pancake. I prefer the standard scallion pancake, as that is what I make at home all the time. The bulgogi is good--pretty much the standard whenever you go. Thinly sliced meat marinated in a sweetened soy sauce mixture which makes the meat tender, then they grill it. Today, they grilled it with green onion, onion, carrots, and mushrooms. While the dishes they serve here are all traditional Korean foods, they have selected the most common ones that appeal to western tastes. I hope those of you who have never tried Korean food will take the opportunity and try Gumii. I could easily eat here once or twice a week. And without doubt, I will be eating my way through each item on the menu. read more

We had a really good experience. My wife has Chicken Cutler and I had the bibimbap with Beef. In addition, we had the Japchae and dumplings. All the food was really good and fresh. The Japchae was particularly close. Food game fast Staff was really nice and helpful. She guided us through what to order. This is not a fancy, sit down restaurant. But, it's nice. Very clean and appropriate decor. Nice background music. read more

We lived in Seoul for about 2 years and traveled the country for work eating truly good Korean food daily. Sometimes in life you stumble into a humble neighborhood restaurant that takes you back to the best of a cuisine and a culture... Gumii is this rare diamond of a restaurant that transports you from Naperville to Korea with one bite of anything on their menu. The flavors are what Korean Grandmothers pass down thru the generations and family's take pride in always. Was simply stunned that the cuisine at Gumii was the encapsulation of every great dish I ever had in Korea and the love between the wonderful couple who owns Gumii is not only evident but they pour it into their food and into the kind caring service they give to every guest at their restaurant... If you want amazing Korean food without booking a 13 hour flight, just get to Gumii to feel loved like it was a professional home-cooked meal by your Korean Grandparents who love you and who really know how to make the best in Korean cuisine while making you feel like a family member in their home... read more

This is hands down my favorite local restaurant. Not only because every item on the menu is delicious, but also the service provided is always 10/10. The bibimbap bowl is kids favorite & only way I get them to eat a good variety of veggies! I highly recommend this place! read more

As a native Korean it's tough finding a decent Korean food spot in the area. This place really hits the spot with a really focused menu. It is very accessible to both American and Korean diners. Gumii is a place that does a few dishes really well as opposed to a lot of dishes very average. The kalbi and kimbab are really good and service is very fast. The place is super clean and the owners are sweet to boot. read more

Food was very good. Never had Korean before, but will definitely be having it again. The young lady taking my order was super nice, and answered any and all questions I had, and there were many. The bibimbap was very flavorful, the kimchi fries were so good, and the glass noodles were tasty too, had a stronger sesame oil flavor. Definitely will be back to try more. read more

We LOVE this little family owned restaurant. They are always so friendly. The food never disappoint!

Decided to try this place since it is new and felt like something different. Overall the food was good as was the service. Only complaint is for the price some of the portions are a bit small. Can't say the Kimchi fries are even close to worth $5. Maybe it was because it was to go. But I'm thinking not. read more

I've been to Gumii quite a few times with my friend and we both love the food! I've had the Dolsot Bibimbap, Kimchi Jjigae, Sundubu Jjigae, kimbap, the green onion pancake (not really sure what the name is) and they've all been wonderful! The owners are always super nice and it was such a pleasure to find a Korean restaurant close by as there aren't many in the area. read more

Pretty good for the price! I enjoyed the bibimbap. I would recommend getting the scallion pancakes!

My husband and I tried this place at 5pm on a Friday night. With the great reviews, I was very surprised to see it wasn't slammed! We ordered the Daeji Bulgogi, teriyaki Bulgogi, Dumplings and Kimbap. Having never had Lorean food before, I wasn't sure what to expect. But everything we ordered had great flavor! It was present well, and delicious. My husband said the daeji Bulgogi has the perfect level of spice. The teriyaki Bulgogi (tofu) was delicious, and the tofu was cooked perfectly. The kimbap was light, but satisfying. All of the flavors complimented each other. And my husband loved the dumplings. The Bulgogi by itself is a good portion for a meal for one person. The kimbap is definitely a two person shareable dish. For these four dishes we spent around $30, which is not bad at all! The service was great and the restaurant was very clean and modern. I would highly recommend Gumii, and we will defInitely be back. read more
