The ordering process via ipad was easy; we just passed it around and hit the submit button at the end. The sauce bar had a lot of choices, and they had a small dessert bar as well. Overall, it's just what you'd expect so there are no hidden charges like "broth charge extra", etc like Happy Lamb. Meat and vegetable quality was good overall; fresh. Our server Mimi was on point and was great at her job, so kudos. Two things that were slightly annoying which prevented the 5 star rating were: 1) 18% gratuity for party of 5 or more; just another way to apply a price adder I guess. 2) photographer took our photos then then tried to sell us each framed picture for $20 each. A bit dear, and I would've bought them if they were $10 ea. Other than that, it's a nice place to have a meal.

My daughter wanted to try this experience for her birthday. As the Mom, I knew I'd be doing a…read moremajority of the cooking. The only place we did this before was in video games. Pros: The place was clean, the food was quality, the service fast, and friendly. Cons: Two sets of tongs for a family of four. All the sauce ingredients with no measurements on the listed recipes. I do have my own base stir-fry sauce I do at home that I was able to make. - The Sauce and tongs is why a one star deduction. The favorite was definitely the grill. Their base marinades don't need sauces. I did use my aforementioned sauce to flavor things like the plain chicken one of my kids ordered. Hot Pot: 1 Miso and 3 Toms. Two of us thought the Tom was not good. One thought it was okay. The Miso was liked... but as the youngest chose it and was randomly throwing stuff in there... Well her cooking skills need help, but that's not on them. Overall it was a better experience than I expected, even being the one to cook 90% of it. It was a good fun family outing. If/when we do this again, I'll likely ask if I can try other soup bases. Maybe using their mini sauce bowls before committing. Note: I do strongly suggest doing your homework if you are unfamiliar with this type of faire. We did. It enriches the experience. I'll likely bring a note sheet on sauce recipes. If you have more than two people, bring extra tongs. (I did ask for more, but didn't get more - Unsure if this is protocol or oops.)

The service was THAT good We made a pit stop to a Korean BBQ restaurant because I was craving seafood pancakes. We wanted short ribs but they were only seen on the Korean BBQ menu. I asked if the cooks in the back could grill it because we didn't want the hassle or smell stuck to us. They made it for us!! I was super happy. Our server was training, but our server was super sweet, helpful and nice. Everything was delicious. Tables are spaced away far enough where you don't feel stuffed. Decoration and ambiance is nice.

At 5:00pm on a Saturday, we were the only party there so it was a pretty quiet outing. I hope this was an anomaly, because the restaurant definitely deserves much more foot traffic. There seemed to be quite a few to-go orders, though. We were brought an array of complimentary banchan, which definitely set the meal up for success! They were all delicious, but my favorite had to be the pickled cucumbers/radish. For the main, I opted for the chicken bulgogi. It had a nice amount of heat and lasted me for three meals. The flavor was good but some of the chicken was a touch dry. I did like the variety of vegetables. The rice was pretty standard and a welcome supplement to the spice. We had a good experience overall and I would definitely return to try more of the menu!

With that said, here are things people should know: - Chinese owner who said she had Korean chef but the person cooking our food was a Chinese lady. Not sure if there is a Korean chef but honestly and as other reviews have said, the food is bland and didn't seem like a Korean cooked the banchan nor the food, see my next comment below. - As soon as I tasted my jajangmyun, I knew it was from a package because I have had it before! That's why people complain about the portions, it's because the jajangmyun that I got came from a store bought package. I also saw packets of store bought nengmyun broth in the fridge near the register. - as a Korean foodie, if you look at the menu, they sell everything! But Korean restaurants can't sell everything because a lot of Korean food including the broth based dishes require a lot of prep and boiling for hours. That's why you don't see Korean restaurants with 50 different items like this place does.

The interior decor is like traditional with plenty of seating. You just sit yourself because there is only one server. They don't have a website so I took pictures of the menus. Also be patient because of the one server. It was us plus 4-5 other tables. You get complimentary water and hot tea. The menu is not huge but it does have some classics. We ordered seafood pancake, soft tofu soup, and black goat stew. Prices are fair since not many Korean restaurants in this area. Great portion sizes and side dishes. I recommend trying the black goat stew. It has a savory taste with plenty of meat. Meat was tender. I recommend eating it with rice. The same goes with the soft tofu soup. Service was friendly and attentive. I would come back here again. Saves me a trip from going to Schaumburg/Arlington Heights or the Niles/Glenview areas.

Honestly a great price for all of that in Illinois. Soy garlic is always great, and the spicy was indeed spicy. My chicken looked better than ones in reviews. Wish I got a picture.

The servers were kind, attentive, and very helpful. I especially appreciated our server pointing out that the stock was made with beef and letting us know we could request it be made with water instead. He also took the time to help us choose several vegetarian-friendly options, which made us feel really taken care of. We shared the kimchi pancake, which was flavorful and satisfying, and each ordered our own bowls. My husband and I had ramen-based soup bowls, while our friends ordered the hot pots with rice. We all chose tofu except for my husband, who tried the mushroom option - he found it a bit tough and "meaty," but still enjoyed the overall dish. The food was very flavorful, portions were huge, and the prices were excellent. We even had leftovers to take home. Overall, a solid spot for a casual, satisfying meal, especially if you're looking for good vegetarian options and great service.

It's pretty much a self-serve food-court-like operation here except the setting is that of a comfortable regular sit-down restaurant.  He had complimentary self-serve iced tea for the customers.  He also had nice, contemporary American pop music on.  We were there with one other patron family, and had a short wait for the food prep, but I did wonder how Mr. Kim might keep up if a crowd hit, but he's managed this well-rated place for 10 years, so he must have a way! Overall, I'll go with 4.49 stars rounded down to 4 for our pleasant outing, mainly as the content of the servings were more like 4 star values but served in a nice and calm sit-down restaurant setting.  Thanks, and continued good luck Mr. Kim!
