Cold noodles
Jess H.

Finally had the time to stop by again! I've been craving it all month and as always, they did not disappoint! I thought it was quite nice that they started taking reservations. It made things a lot easier and there was no lines or waiting. We got the large and small intestines, thin premium orginal pork belly, seafood pancake, and the cold noodles. Our waitress cooked our pork belly on one grill and the intestines on another. While cooking she would let us know how much longer each of the meat would take to cook or if it was ready to eat. All of it was cooked amazingly and she was very tentative with replenishing our side dishes and water when it got low. The seafood pancake was SOOO fluffy and genuinely one of the best seafood pancake I ever had. It was packed with seafood. Each bit had something different. The cold noodles was a nice cleanse from the grease from the meats. It was refreshing! Noodles weren't soggy and broth was simple and clean. Always an amazing time whenever I stop by, can't wait for my next visit!

Side dishes

Food was good but not enough for me to ever go back and receive poor service. Actually, little to no service and to feel like an inconvenience when there were no customers in there. Upon walking in, no host, a lady with a mask came up and asked if we were dining in.... Pointed to a table, no other words. Brought us menus, again, she says nothing to us. Server seemed like she did not want to talk said the bare minimum to get our order, serve our food, and give us our bill. I'm shocked that other reviews say friendly service. Not one person in that place smiled. Marinated short ribs - amazing Bulgogi pork - ok All banchan dishes were very good, flavorful and you get a good variety. The only one I didn't care for was pickled radish cause it tasted old and overdue. Spicy cucumbers and Kimchi were so tasty. Korean buckwheat noodle in spicy sauce- usually when I get this at other restaurants, it does not have this much liquid. Noodles were a little undercooked and chewy. Spicy sauce was flavorful. Japchae - very flavorful, little on salty side but still good Overall clean restaurant. Cute decor but also weird paper signs taped on the walls. Nice set up. Nice concept. Good variety of food for menu.

Great food and service, very nice environment. And there are free parking in the front

Gop Chang: intestines

Best 곱창 & 대창! Kbbq and best intestines!!! Fun spot. Always a yes! Nothing like kbbq and some soju/맥주!

Delicious food and great service! We had the japchae, kalbi tang (so delicious our toddler had three bowls!), marinated ribs and wagyu brisket and the steamed egg... all delicious and the meat was marinated well. The japchae was so flavorful and the best I've had in Chicago. The service was excellent, they were prompt, they were nice to our toddler and understanding of her being a little antsy... and the grilled the meat for us!! Highly recommend

Hwang Soh was a surprisingly delicious kbbq find! A traditional place, the cooking of the meat is handled by the employees. One thing I found particularly interesting at Hwang Soh was that the meat was seasoned (with black pepper, for example) by the employee at the time of grilling. I don't think I've seen a kbbq place do that before! It's totally optional, but I trusted the employee to do their thing. The meat was indeed really delicious. Between 3 people, we ordered 3 different meats and that was totally sufficient for us. Excellent and delicious kbbq place, no real complaints here.

truly authentic Korean bbq! They take care of grilling the meats and the must-have fried rice at the end was immaculate

Marinated Beef Short Ribs and Berkshire Pork Jowl

Best Korean BBQ in chicagoland. Must finish off with the kimichi fried rice. There is also free parking.

Some steak, tofu seafood soup, squid bibimbap, Pork Kimchi Gee Gae Soup

Been coming here for awhile, and it doesn't disappoint. Quality of the food is great, the steak and intestines are ver good. A lot of locals coming in with some a small mix of a crowd. They have Korean music videos playing up high, but the main focus is the food. Taste of quality and like coming here. It's a small space, so plan ahead. Hours are tight too, but worth it.

Beef small intestine &  large intestine

Please bring back the 양념 양파 when ordering the 차돌백이. The plain lettuce wraps are not the same?

More people asked us for the lettuce wrap than green onions. Due to the size of our facility, we could not do both. If More people ask for shredded green onion, we might change to green onion in future. Thanks for the understanding.

Hi. I'm wondering if you can order a mix of daechang and gopchang, or does it have to be 2 orders for each?

You could mix, no problm..

Hello, I was wondering can gopchang and daechang be ordered for take out? Thank you

Yes, many people order as takeout.

What a hidden gem! Went for a super late dinner to this hype bar & restaurant. It was empty and I…read moredon't know why. Head over immediately. Service was quick and smooth. The lady and her husband or partner were sweet and attentive. My guy and I ordered an order of the bulgogi, kimchi fried rice and squid (super spicy). The food tasted as good as it looked. Hands down my favorite dish is the kimchi fried rice. It was really spicy and actually tasted of kimchi. The portions are nice to match the prices. Highly recommend.

Its located near the corner of the street but easily missed. The service was excellent. Greeted upon arrival,waiter gave us the menu. Some of the menu items are unique and I haven't seen in other restaurants before. We started with seafood pancakes my all time favorite korean appetizers. For the entrees we had pork cutlet with gravy and rice, steam chicken gizzards, pork belly nappa cabbage wrap and kimchi fried rice. Every single dish came out quick, hot and fresh. Everything we ordered is very savory and delicous. I would say the best korean food in Chicago. It was my first time eating steam chicken gizzards and oh my oh it was seasoned well;soo delicous and one of a kind. I was a little hesitant when my boyfriend wanted me to tatse it. Best decision ever to go out of my tastings bubble. We came on the weekend,we expected groups of people but it was actually quiet for a bar restaurant.We enjoyed our visit here. The food was too yummy we forgot to take photos untill the end. We will definitely come back next time we are around ;)

Honest thing is the name of this place in Niles but it's still actually great. It has dumplings and…read morelooks kind of sketchy. What A Dumpling is located in the Super H Mart in the food court so you go to the counter and then find a table. Of course it gets crowded. The food is kind of expensive but you get a lot and it's also fresh. Coming here the first time we had no idea it was actually inside this but we still found it after looking awhile. It's in a location of this popular international grocery store. The food court is pretty close to the entrance so it wasn't that hard to get to. A hard thing was finding a table because it was busy. You order at the counter and then take it to a table. Also the inside of the place smells fishy. That's how all of these are it seems. It's about $17 for the Vegan Dumplings. These are filled with chives, napa cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, and zucchini. Get these fried or steamed. There's other options with meats in these. Got to say it was pretty great for being in a food court. It's located in the store in Civic Center Plaza. They're even open for the weekends.
