    Receipt
    Tabitha W.

    While it's cool that they have the Impossible Kalbi as a vegetarian option, I can't believe this entrée costs $18. You get two Barbecue Plate sides, and it comes with Rice and Green Onion Salad. Honestly, when I looked back at the photo and the receipt showing the price, I feel like this is only worth about half that. There was one other group in the restaurant, and they were so loud, we ended up taking our food to a nearby park to eat instead.

    Passed by here the other day and I was intrigued so stopped in. When I entered I saw they have a station where you can place your order on your own and then pick it up. I placed my order that way and when I was preparing to pay I found that they don't have a way for you to use digital wallets at that station; a credit card is required. The employee made some comment that suggested perhaps they were going to fix that so it can at some point take digital wallets but I don't know if he was just saying that or not. Anyway, that was kind of annoying, just make sure to bring your card if you decide to use that or you can order at the counter and you can use a digiwallet. The chicken was okay. I liked the soy ginger flavor though it wasn't very strong. I also got the kalbi one we could share and it was really good. I don't think I've ever had short rib before, but this is what I'd order if I visit again. It made me think, is this what Korean BBQ tastes like all the time (as opposed to this just being their seasoning/saucing)? If so I've been missing out on it for sure. The potstickers were ok. I think they would have been good if they were steamed but they are fried here and that's not my preference. I got one of their dessert things but it wasn't my bag. It tasted to me like circus peanuts, which is a candy I hate with a fiery passion. There was no one here when I stopped in but they have plenty of seating including a counter at the front of the restaurant. Parking doesn't exist anywhere but on the street here, which can be tricky.

    Clumps of hard rice

    My friend came over after getting our order and I'm a little disappointed. I got the kalbi and dumplings and they taste great but my rice is so hard and crunchy. Like it's the burnt part of the rice at the bottom of the rice cooker you sometimes get at home. I'm kinda bummed about it honestly. We didn't order last minute before they closed or anything so I'm kinda confused why the the rice is like that. Placed our order a little after 8:30ish

    I ordered Soy Ginger Beef... not Soy GINGER ONION

    I can tell you I have about 8 scraps of beef, a spread of rice sprinkled of lettuce & carrots and HALF OF AN ONION!!! I didn't know I order... SOY GINGER ONION ( no such thing ) it's rice bowl! THERE Should BE A LOT MORE RICE AND BEEF.. bad management or staffs are in the feelings??? What a sick joke. My rice cake was dried with no MEAT sauce...

    Mushroom bowl

    We just tried this for dinner and it was pretty okay, I think maybe we missed something when ordering online because we didn't get any type of sauce so it was just plain rice and vegetables. The marinated mushrooms and kalbi were good but everything else was just kind of average. But it did taste healthy which is good!

    Good Fast Food Korean ... Chipotle style. Might take 10min because the entree is freshly grilled, but you don't mind, its decent. Props to the two kids that came up with this concept, and plopped it in the trendy and gentrification-crazed Logan Square. There are some K franchises out here already but they're more fusion restaurants and in the NW burbs. Wouldn't fly for old school but its fine for the BTS crowd,.. legit. Lol. I know I enjoyed the ground Impossible oval burger doused with K BBQ sauce... I'll have to try and make this myself, it wasn't Kalbi, but it was tasty... Feedback, dig the recyclable square bowls however rice gets too sticky and can't get it all... towards the end, maybe a layer of salad to buffer?

    We pass this place all the time and always wanted to try it. Due to Covid we ordered take out. When you order thru the website they had a deal for 20% off order entire order. We got the following. Rice balls-They are like fried rice balls with cheese in the middle. I was not a huge fan of these but my husband enjoyed it. Cheesy corn: amazing!!! The mozzarella cheese and corn complemented each other so well. I would definitely come back for this. Spicy chicken bowl: chicken was flavorful I got this with rice, kimchi, and cucumbers. Everything complimented each other really well. Kolbi bowl: the meat was seasoned perfectly. We substituted rice for salad. Then got cucumber salad and kimchi with it. Potstickers: this was stuffed with meat and crispy on the outside Fries: this tasted great! We did order it with meat but I only saw the diced onions, cheese, and "fries". We will definitely becoming back here again!

    Always reliable good Korean dishes. On this visit my wife had the Kalbi and I had the spicy chicken. Love all of their sides they are fresh and pair perfectly with the entree choices. Place is always clean and staff is friendly.

    I came back here with a girlfriend on a Friday night and the food was just as good as the first time we tried the place. Both times that we've visited, there were no problems finding street parking along Milwaukee Ave. The place inside was spacious, clean and the service was superb. My friend and I have tried the following items from the menu: KALBI- Very tender and flavorful pieces of meat PORK BELLY- Winner! SPICY GINGER BEEF- Great flavors K FIRE BALLS- Fantastic. I can eat this with rice all day long. CHEESY CORN- This was so addicting BOKKI FRIES- I loved this especially the sauce. Everything that we've had has been delicious and tasted like home cooked meals. All the dishes had perfectly seasoned and cooked meats, the typical Korean sides (radish, kimchi, pickles, etc.) were fresh and the appetizers were unique and oh so good. Even though this is considered a fast food Korean place, they offer authentic and fresh-of-the-grill proteins. The chef/ co-owner Eddie Hwang grills the meat as the orders come in so if you choose to dine in, your food will be served warm on a recyclable container, tasting delicious as they look and smell. I am glad that K Fire serves quality Korean food and I hope that people continue to discover what this new place has to offer. Keep up the good work and I wish you all the best!

    KFIRE Pork Belly
    Linda N.

    My mouth is watering just remembering this place. I had visited Chicago a few weeks ago, and my friends and I were craving some Korean food on our last day. We saw KFIRE was nearby and decided to stop by for lunch. When we arrived, we were able to get a table for 8 very easily since not many people were there. Despite having a big party, we all got our food within 20 minutes. I had ordered the pork belly plate, and let me tell you, the pork was SO SO GOOD! I've had dreams about the pork haha. When you bite into it, it just melts in your mouth because of how well it's cooked. The salt on the pork brought out the flavor even more, so you can't help but eat more. The rice and vegetable side dishes were a refreshing contrast to the pork, and I liked how they balanced out the proportions evenly throughout the plate. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Korean food/KBBQ!

    Spicy KFIRE Pork Belly
    Christina H.

    For a fast casual Korean spot, the food here was pretty solid! I got the spicy pork belly ( warning: it's VERY spicy) and it was super tender. I also tried the regular pork belly and enjoyed it as well. The sides of cucumbers were nice and crisp but will say the kimchi was pretty underwhelming. Overall, their food is pretty affordable and delicious!

    K KFIRE Balls
    Misa T.

    Chipotle style Korean food! I was quite impressed with the food here. I don't eat Korean food too often but I do enjoy it time to time. I haven't really seen many places that are Korean style fast food, so I was intrigued. K fire balls - crispy breaded rice balls filled with cheese and spam, comes with a side of tonkatsu mayo. These were yummy! Can't go wrong with anything filled with cheese though right? The sauce was a tad salty for me but still good nonetheless! Pork belly bowl - the pork belly was done perfectly! Seasoned well with sweet wine miso marinade and grilled flavor was delicious. The quality of pork belly was wonderful - nice sized cubes with a good fat to meat ratio. Rice was made well too, the stickiness of it complements the protein and the sides. You get to pick 2 sides (kimchi, kimchi slaw, spicy daikon, seasoned cucumber, marinated mushrooms, corn salad) for your bowl. I didn't get to try the kimchi, but will definitely get it next time. The bowls range from $11 - $18. Will be back to try the cheese corn and the bokki fries next time!

    Sushi-quality rice, great pickled veggies, and high quality meats. The Kalbi is incredible, and I really love the spicy chicken egg roll!

    I've been craving some MEAT for a while, and after reading Sam C.'s review, I was sold - I grabbed…read moremy keys and made my way over! When I find myself thinking of a return trip while still there, you know for sure Offset BBQ delivers! I ordered the All Beef Platter, and got the Brisket Chili (upgrade) as my side. The sausage was fantastic! It had a snap which made all the Chicago Hot Dogs within a 20 mile radius jealous. Inside was a maximally savory, salty but not over-salted filling. The kind of meat that needs no sauce. Then comes the brisket! A lovely piece of meat that was so tender, looking at it and licking my lips caused the meat to start falling apart. I also loved that it was a good balance of meaty and fatty bits. However, there is a small 'but' here. For my taste, the brisket needed a very light sprinkle of salt. No matter, with the help of the sauces the brisket leveled up enough to take on any boss battle thrown at it. Speaking of sauces: The KC Style and Hawaiian were both good. Both were sweet, and had some tang, though, it seemed the KC had a slight edge in the bold department between the two. A sauce I loved though was the Chicago White, a fantastic Horseradish and Mustard sauce that was unique, interesting, savory, fresh, and a little spicy. The kind of sauce I want to buy a container of and take home! For my side, I upgraded to the bowl of brisket chili. I loved this so much, I may just order this as a main on a return visit. The chili did not at all skimp on the meat, which was tender and flavorful. The use of beans, corn, and veggies were there to help accent everything else, and were themselves cooked perfectly. Kudos also for the inclusion of a couple pickled jalapeno slices. My heat tolerance may be too high to feel a burn, but the crispness of acid did wonders! The included coleslaw was one thing I did not love. I appreciated that they were not heavy handed on the mayo, and the dressing overall was light in quantity and consistency. However, the cabbage was sliced as if by a sleep deprived stagiaire who has yet to master knife skills. The slicing was terribly inconsistent, with some pieces being way too large. For dessert, I ordered the Blueberry Handpie. This was so much better than expected! The crust was flaky and wonderful, and the filling had plentiful sweet blueberries. This dish also excelled in its execution. The cast iron pan kept the pie warm, and the ice cream was such that didn't melt right away. I also loved that the blueberries weren't screaming hot and exploding with lava. When it comes to the service, the bar-server was fantastic. She was kind, friendly, and attentive. Food came out pretty fast, too, considering how fresh everything was. Finally, while I did not make laps around the entire establishment, the vibe has just the right intersection between BBQ and Rock & Roll, with the music playing at the perfect volume to be appreciated while being not at all intrusive. Final verdict: There are many who sing the praises of Smoque BBQ, which is a great spot. However, between the two, I prefer Offset. Other than a sloppy-chopped Coleslaw, the experience was fantastic not only in the food, but in the execution and the thought put into the experience.

    Alright, I don't usually do this. I'm not a Yelp or Google Review warrior, I'm not out here typing…read moreessays about every decent meal... but gotdamn, this place earned it. I've been meaning to get here for years, and we finally rolled in for lunch - and let me tell you, the hype in my head still wasn't enough. For context, I'm not just some random dude who likes ribs. I run a small side street BBQ pop-up on the South Side and I'm borderline obsessive about properly smoked meat - especially the kind that's gently smoked, where you taste the craft and not just a blast of soot and sauce. That balance is HARD. Most places (even the quote unquote "institutions" we all know) lean heavy on sauce to cover up over-smoked, tired meat. This spot? Absolutely not that. Offset BBQ in Humboldt Park is operating on a whole different level. This is thoughtful, patient, technique-driven barbecue - the kind pitmasters respect and regular people fall in love with without even knowing why it's better. I had the chance to meet Carlo Carani and Doug Pompa, and that alone made the visit special. Doug is the real-deal pitmaster - not flashy, not ego-driven, just a humble craftsman who clearly lives and breathes smoke. Both of them were welcoming, down-to-earth, and generous with their time. Doug even walked me through their smokers and process, which, as someone still climbing the BBQ learning curve, was like getting a backstage pass to a masterclass. No gatekeeping, no attitude - just passion and pride in doing things the right way. And the food backs it all up. The brisket? Tender, beautifully rendered, rich without being heavy. Pulled pork? Juicy, seasoned exactly right, smoke present but never overpowering. The pickled sides? Absolute game-changer - that bright acidity cutting through the richness like a perfect reset button between bites. They're not just doing traditional barbecue either - there's creativity on the menu that actually makes sense, not gimmicks. Add in a serious whiskey and bourbon lineup plus beer that pairs the way it should, and you're looking at a full experience, not just a tray of meat. This isn't just another BBQ joint. This is a Chicago barbecue institution in the making - if it isn't already. Do yourself a favor: run, don't walk. Whether you're a die-hard smoke nerd or just someone who loves good food, this place is the real deal. Maria's service is outstanding and you'd be remissed not to include her hospitality as a bright star to this BBQ institution's success. God bless this joint!

    I am extremely happy to find another Hawaiian restaurant near me and it's not a wannabe like H*B*…read more We came on a weekend during dinner and there was a mild rush in and out of pick up orders and people dining in. We grabbed a menu as we had some time to review their offerings before the last person in our group arrived. When it was time to order, we went for variety and got Kaleb, garlic chicken / lemongrass pork and the Hawaiian breakfast. We ordered enough to receive 2 spam musubis. Everyone was happy with their food and compared it to another well known Hawaiian place in the city - but here with better prices! We had plenty leftover for our party of 3 and pretty much could fill up 1 container! We will definitely be back and look forward to trying other items!

    I discovered Aloha Hawaiian BBQ via a photo that was shared on my yelp feed. Once I looked at the…read moremenu and saw a picture of their fish katsu, it became a place that I just had to order from. I was pleased to find that it is located along a route that I frequently drive in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago, which may lead to future visits onsite while in the area. And its 4.9 star rating out of 500+ on Uber Eats was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality ordering experience. I did further research on the menu before ordering and I took interest in the garlic butter shrimp, garlic butter fish fillet, vegetable lo mein, vegetable fried rice, crab rangoon, and of course the fish katsu! Out of those items that caught my eye, I ended up ordering the fish katsu with rice & macaroni salad as my sides. Whether it be Grubhub or Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Jesus, for arriving with my order in a reasonable time, as well as meeting me in front of my residence as requested. And Jesus also confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank him so much for. As for my order, I could not help but smell the fish katsu prior to opening the bag it was placed in. Along with the white rice and macaroni salad it appeared so delicious once I got my first glimpse of it after opening the container. I was pleased with the acceptable portions given, which made my mouth salivate as I took pictures of it to share not only on yelp, but with friends. As expected, the fish katsu tasted very delicious and the katsu sauce complimented it so well. I just could not resist smiling in between bites of it, which left my mouth salivating. As for the macaroni salad, it was the best I have ever had, I kid you not! I finished eating it quickly in between bites of the fish Katsu. Here is your warning! If you are looking for a satisfying meal that could very well turn into leftovers after you have recovered from your kanak attack, then look no further than the fish katsu! In closing, I had an overall great ordering experience as I have indicated in this review of Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. I would consider ordering from again whether it be online or even visiting for takeout when in the area. And with that, I share my endorsement of it as well with you all on yelp.
