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 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 ;)

The fried chicken here is incredibly tasty. You can order chicken most any way (boneless, tenders,…read morewings and drums, or even half/whole chicken), and there are countless sauce varieties to try. I personally really enjoy the soy honey glaze. Keep in mind you can also order sauces for the side. We also tried out some kimchi loaded fries. The waffles fries underneath were crispy and piping hot. The kimchi itself was pretty seasoned and definitely more of a sauce-like consistency than I'm used to: different but still worked well with the fries and sauce. We ordered to-go, and the food was ready in a few minutes. Given how good the food was for us, I can't wait to go back and dine in. They seem to have a decent private lot as well for parking.

The sundubus were amazing and the tofu was so fluffy and the perfect texture. It also had the perfect spice level and tasted extremely well with the rice. The udon is not that good, I would suggest ordering this when you come here. And the bulgogi was so good-sometimes it can be really oily though. The service was amazing. I believe it is a family owned business as well. Everyone was friendly and nice. They checked on us multiple times to make sure everything was good. Inside the restaurant it was pretty nice. There were both booths and tables. Additionally they had coat rack holders outside every booth which was so convenient. Overall, this restaurant was so good. I highly recommend coming here, especially on a cold snowy day!

The Fire Chicken Bowl definitely has a bit of a kick; I'm not big on spicy food, but my mom enjoyed it. The Korean BBQ Chicken Bowl had sauce that soaked nicely into the rice and tasted great, though the chicken itself was a bit bland. I recommend getting an extra side of Garlic Parmesan Aioli to dip the chicken in. It made a big difference. Overall, the bowls were pretty filling, and we enjoyed them.

Again, with the help from Yelpers, we drove to To Soc Chon Korean Food Specialist. It was easy to drive taking i94 and ample of parking along with an entrance at the back of the restaurant. 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.

I went with two friends and we stuck to our usual thing of ordering one meat plate per person. This was more than a sufficient amount of food for us three. The pork jowl was recommended, so we tried that and I was pleasantly surprised at how I've missed this cut of pork before! We got some marinated short ribs which I didn't expect to come to our table fully cooked, but they were also incredibly delicious. On top of that, the extremely kind and attentive wait staff brought us two different kinds of soup. One hot bean/tofu soup and one cold cabbage soup that was honestly incredibly refreshing after all that meat. The biggest and most pleasant surprise was the bill.

I haven't had a sizzling stone bowl in a while and it was perfect for a 30 degree night. Just the sizzling as Chef Son brought it to my table, it smelled so good! I chose beef for my protein and I chose to add extra spam. I also ordered a side of kimchi and banchan is self serve on the side. Although it is an expensive order for myself, it's definitely worth it but I think my extra orders like kimchi and spam add ons plus Diet Coke made the price go up. I didn't notice the water on the side near the banchan. In general - food, service, and vibes 5/5! Shoutout Chef Son!
