The japchae is so springy and soft, better than a lot of the grocery store japchae. My favorite is the banchan where they had the kongjaban braised black beans. I really miss that flavor profile, and only had it when I was little in Asia. Owner lady was so sweet and chatted us up about the kids and all. We will definitely be back!

I think Kogii means "meat." So Kogii Kogii means meat meat. How about meet meat?…read more Yes Yes. We loved it. We loved it. I know not what All You Can Eat (AYCE) that is referenced in these reviews. Our group picked a Combo that served 2-3 people. The price/description is different than what you see on the website or Yelp menu. Our Combo was $100 and included miso or seaweed soup, rice, banchan and four kinds of meat: marinated bulgogi, short rib, ribeye and brisket. Delicious Delicious. The banchan was tasty tasty. I especially liked the pickled cucumber and the kimchi. Some of the reviews said they were charged extra for refills on the banchan dishes. We were not. What a feast. The server loaded up our grill with brisket and would leave and come back to flip things or turn things although we were pretty capable of doing it ourselves. They very nicely cut our ribeye into bite-sized pieces with the kitchen shears and also snipped up the short rib. The meat was delicious and the banchan and rice soon filled us up. We used the green leafy lettuce to make ssambap. I also liked the sauce with the sesame oil and salt. The bulgogi was last and we had to dig deep to finish it. What I liked was that nothing stuck to the grill and nothing burned either. I've had kbbq before at other places where it was too hot and the meat was burned. Everything was cooked perfectly. There was another table where flames shot up from the grill but the staff quickly went over to help. The staff was friendly and efficient. The banchan was plentiful and tasty. The portions of meat were pretty generous and good quality. Although pricy, I feel we got a lot of food and the meat was excellent because we cooked it ourselves :). So good so good. We enjoyed we enjoyed. Bye bye!

One of the best things? Their rice comes cooking in the stone pots as well as the stews, which makes it perfectly cooked with just the right chew. The tea comes in thermos jugs that keep tea hot. Side dishes are always refilled at request. We felt very well fed dining here. Entire place very clean. No wonder family travels for more than half hour to get here when there are other places closer...food and service are just outstanding.

Recommendations: Silver Combo…read moreSeafood Pancake Soft Serve Ice Cream We went to Chicago Galbi House for dinner, and you can smell the delicious Korean cuisine as soon as you walk through the door. We ordered the Silver Combo, which comes with beef and vegetables. The main difference between the Silver and Gold Combo is the chicken, and we thought the Silver Combo was more than enough for us. We also ordered the mushroom and beef hotpot and the seafood pancake. Once we ordered, the food came out immediately. It was actually so quick that everything came out at once. It was a little overwhelming trying to figure out what to eat first, but it was fine. I just wish the seafood pancake had come out first so we could enjoy it while it was hot and crispy. For the Korean BBQ, all of the meat was excellent quality and the portions were generous. The hotpot broth was on the lighter side, but I thought it was interesting that they served it with soy sauce and wasabi. The seafood pancake was one of our favorites. It was very crispy on both sides and good portion. We loved all the food, and the restaurant even prepared soft serve ice cream cones for us before we ended the night. We really enjoyed our experience at Chicago Galbi House and will definitely come back to try some of their other dishes!

The decor is…read morefun and transforms you into a different world during your meal, service is quick and friendly, prices are surprisingly reasonable the amount and quality of food you're getting, flavors are on point (and on the healthier side of cooking for this style), and presentation is great. The other struggle will be with parking as this place is generally very packed during dinner hours. After several visits here, I've decided that the best way to order is to get large dishes to share with others. While, individual size servings are great -- there is a ton of spots nearby great for 1-2 people, but this spot does offer some nicely presented large dishes like bossam which are great for serving. I also find the seafood pancake to be a generous size with plenty of seafood and a nice crisp edge. These are definitely prepared with minimal seasoning, relying instead on an assortment of sauces to infuse the food with flavor. The bulgogi similarly, is tender and presented with lots of cabbage, more of a cold day comfort food instead of a seared version with thick sauce as you may find in other nearby locations. Definitely aim for some spicy dishes like the spicy pork bbq with mozzarella cheese if you're coming here, as the spicy options are on a different level of flavor and depth (similar to most Asian food you'll find in the area). Again, the meat is prepared very tender with an explosion of flavor. Overall, excellent food with excellent presentation and surprisingly affordable pricing. Probably one of the best values you'll find from a Yelp Top 100 US restaurant.

We got there just in time and ordered a few appetizers, like the tuna tar-tare, edamame, and truffle tuna. The appetizers were on point. For our entrees, we got the beef bulgogi bento box, and the chicken karaage bento box. The bento box offered several things including salad, California rolls, potato croquette, and the main dish. Unfortunately, we were not fans of the bento box. The bulgogi was extremely dry, and pretty much sauce less, and the chicken karaage was dry as well. The sauce was very rich. Service was good, and the staff was very friendly. Maybe we ordered the wrong things, because the appetizers were great.

This place is awesome, I don't know how I just found it now…read more It's a pretty small restaurant so large group searing is limited. They do have some larger tables with bench seating in back. The food is great, everything from the Korean fried chicken (strips or wings) to the fried rice is quality. I like the sweet and spicy sauce for the chicken strips as it is well balanced between the two flavors not too sweet or spicy. Nothing in this restaurant is bland. Service is really good, sometimes they may be running behind or slow but they are thoughtful enough to let you know.

I loved that you can customize the seasoning yourself with the provided salt and green onions, allowing you to get the flavor just right. The soup was incredibly comforting and flavorful without being overly fatty or greasy. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the generous portion came with rice and delicious kimchi on the side. Service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Everything on the menu looked amazing, and I'll definitely be back to try the beef ribs next time. If you're looking for hearty, authentic Korean comfort food, Claypot is absolutely worth a visit.

The redecorating and ambience was modern and sleek, with fully operational and clean water features. Grills were gas-operated, one grills there own meat items here. I really liked the natural-stone mini-subway style tiles on the walls. Like a lot of Korean places I have seen, the seats had minimal padding. I think this would be a great place for a date if you're in the area, a prize in an unassuming strip mall anchored by an auto parts store. Food was great, they happily and generously provided more banchan and also gave us complimentary bowls of soy paste soup that was practically jumping out of the bowl. As civilised as I tried to be, using my chopsticks and the cooking tongs correctly, I still felt like I completely stuffed my face like at a trough '^_^ it was all so good. Maybe to accommodate the neighborhood, the banchan was not nearly as spicy as we expected, so that might be great for someone trying Korean for the first time. Some might balk at the prices of some items, such as $24.99 for 1/2lb of raw meat, but we had a very enjoyable time and hope to come again.

We ordered two beef soups, and they were delicious light, flavorful, and much better than I expected! They also brought us complimentary Korean appetizers. They weren't really my personal taste, but that's simply a matter of preference, not the restaurant's fault.

Overall, we really enjoyed the food and would recommend giving this place a try!

Great for a Friday night! I got the seafood and beef tofu bowl with the stone bowl rice. I like how you can pick your spicy level - I went with "regular spicy". It was perfect - not too spicy but had enough of a kick to make my nose run. It tasted amazing! The soup comes out boiling and you crack a raw egg in it and burry it in the soup and meat and in a few minutes it's cooked! The stone bowl was so cool. Hot rice in a hot stone bowl works wonders if you love toasted rice at the bottom of your pot like me, I was in heaven. I will definitely come back here and taste other things on the menu. Very chill and laid back atmosphere. Friendly and fast service.
