    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

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

    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.

    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.

    fried rice

    Environment is great with nice services. The food is very authentic and tastes good! I love this restaurant.

    Love the K-pop videos on the TVs. It is part of the fun atmosphere. The food was delicious. We had the galbi, pork belly, seafood pancake, steamed egg, kimchi fried rice and galbitang. Service was efficient. Definitely going back for more food.

    Beef small intestine &  large intestine

    Perfect place to try beef intestine! Highly recommend to visit! Also they cook it for you

    Spicy Pork Bulgogi

    The servers at this restaurant were so nice. They even cooked the proteins for us. It's a small Korean bbq restaurant that serves a variety of proteins and has delicious banchan. The japchae noodle dish was tasty. We also had the spicy pork bulgogi and wagyu beef brisket. We are planning to go back to try other dishes and proteins.

    So good!! The best kimchi I have ever had and what great service. My table got 3 different beef bbq and A+

    I've been getting takeout from here and finally dined in with my friend. I have been looking for a kbbq spot with quality intestine bbq. Gopchang Story is reliable and good, but is kind of far from me. I prefer to eat grilled intestines at restaurants that specialize in it like Hwang Soh Grill. There are the usual meats on the menu too if you just want regular kbbq. Prices here are pretty average considering the quality of meat. We shared 1 order of small intestine and 1 order of large intestine. They had good flavor and seemed to be cleaned well. I just can't get enough of the taste of grilled innards and chives together. My friend was trying grilled intestines for the 1st time and she fell in love with the chive pairing too. It comes with onions, potatoes, pumpkin, mushroom, and rice cakes on the grill. Side dishes were also average but good. The first time I got takeout from here it came with pickled garlic ramps leaves! Those were great. Of course, we finished the meal with fried rice - the perfect dessert. I do wish there was more leftover fat in the pan for fried rice, but a lot of it had drained off because of the type of grill pan they used. I thought the portions were ok for someone with a big appetite, but 2 orders and fried rice is certainly a lot for someone with a small appetite. I want to come as a party of 3 next time, so I can order my favorite, abomasum. Their mountain tripe is tasty too with lots of garlic. Can't wait to come back!

    Excellent Korean food is found here! We loved everything that we ordered. The Japchae and Seafood Pancakes were our favorites along with the various grilled meats.

    Kimchi ( about to be fried rice)

    BY FAR THE BEST KBBQ EXPERIENCE BAR NONE! I'M SCREAMING! aahhhhh! From the jump, ample free parking lot. Sold. Walking in, very short wait-even though it was busy on a Friday night, we didn't have to wait very long as it's very in and out. Fast service, fast food! Everything was delectable! Not AYCE but affordable! They offer you kimchi fried rice at the end of your meal as a finishing appetizer; it's quite pleasant! Service was very good! They offer grape soju and red raspberry wine. This. Was. Awesome.

    Realllllllyyyyyyy goood! Authentic! Highly recommended!

    Awesome! Very authentic and the service is great too - we ordered the K-bbq, great portions for two! Sojo and beer are awesome too! Highly recommended!

    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.

We love how when we entered, there a nice warm homestead feel to the ambiance of the whole restaurant, very welcoming, warm and the service is the same. They are very kind, helpful, attentive, and polite. My teenage son and I ordered their two most popular dishes, Daktori Tang (chicken) and Gamja Tang (pork). Wow, it did not disappoint. The meat was fall of the bone tender and serve with a good portion. The soup was flavorful with the spice level was perfect for us.

Its a super light and hearty soup, so i personally added additional seasoning to fit my taste It was quiet when we went on a weekday evening so our server was easily attentive and super sweet - really contributing to the family ambiance of the restaurant.

What ails me is a hunger for goat stew, so I'm frequently cured. Quite fantastic, loaded with super fresh leaves that cook down into the wok in 10 minutes and if you are in the know, put off the rice until the very end when, if you eat nearly almost all of it, leaving a scrimp of meat and leaf and a few tablespoons of broth, ask for the kimchi rice, which the staff will prepare at your table with the namesake and an egg. You will feel healthy. If goat is not your thing, the seafood pancakes with green onions are a treat, the chap chae is yum-yum time, and the dol sot bib bim bop is a deep satisfier. I love the skinny little pike makerels (Kkong Chi Gui), especially for lunch. The service is excellent though causal, no pressure. It is often busy with every table eating one of the stews. And, if you are lucky, go in the early afternoon, the place is yours with Chilly Willy and Tom And Jerry cartoons. Tops on my list for overall comfort, taste, cozy, causal dining. Banchan a plenty.

The food here is of the same high quality that you expect at any other SGD location. For me, the main entrees are large enough as well that you can share one between two people, making this actually a fairly economical option for dining in Hmart.

Overall, definitely worth a visit if you're an SGD fan or looking to get a fuller set of dining options while shopping in this area. While the Korean BBQ and Bento boxes will stand out to most people right away, do give their tofu stew a try if you haven't before.
