Every now and then I'll get an intense craving for a cheesy tteokbokki with just the right amount of sweet & spicy. I'll usually resort to making it myself but now that I know this spot is right around the corner, I officially have a new takeout spot in the rotation! Since the prices were so reasonable I decided to try the sweet & sour fried chicken (Yang Nyum Chicken) as well and it was every bit as delicious. Definitely a solid spot, no frills, just straight up good food that speaks for itself. read more

So YUMMY. Doesn't look like much because it's a small American Asian place but as soon as I walked in and heard them playing Jesus music, I knew that food was gonna be authentic (and it was). Only sad that my bibimbap did not come with mushrooms. lol. It was low-maintenance, delicious, affordable, and I was very happy with our decision to eat here. Service was very attentive. Will be back. read more

What an incredible restaurant and such a hidden gem so close to Wrigley Field! I was walking around the area with my family and we decided to grab dinner here. We weren't sure what to expect. There was no wait time and the server was so nice and helpful. We ended up ordering a lot of food. We got the crispy tofu, bacon kimchi fried rice, kimmari, bul dak and some other items I forgot the name of. The bul dak is a deep fried boneless chicken in spicy chili pepper sauce. It was so good and tender! I would come back for this item alone. The bacon fried rice and appetizers hit the spot. Everything was delicious, no complaints at all. The restaurant is a good size and brings a nice vibe to it when you enter. A bunch of photos on the wall which I think was when they were on tv. Overall, a fun dining experience and can't wait to be back. Thank you Rice'N Bread! read more

First time alert! Learned about Rice N' Bread via DoorDash searching for bulgogi First, I like that you can custom your order as I prefer no carrots and that's an option to remove. The food arrived during the delivery slot, kinda cold but warmed up in the microwave. The portion size was enough to share or have leftovers, the beer wasn't as seasoned as I've had before but good, definitely order the egg rolls, and a side of kimchi for some kick! I'll definitely be a return order-er! read more

The restaurant has an interesting blend of Korean and American food. We tried: - Kimmari - Beef Bulgogi - Yang Nyum Chicken - RnB Burger My favorite was the Kimmari - a fried seaweed and noodle wrap. The rest weren't bad, the portions were big and the price was very reasonable. I'd probably not go with the burger next time as it was just ok compared to the rest. read more

Reasonably affordable Korean and American food near Wrigley Field. The Dolsot Bibimbap was the winner. It smelled good, tasted good, and looked appealing. The serving was on the smaller side but not scanty although it was a bit short on meat. The spicy KFC was spicy, the serving was large, and the chicken chunks were thighs (that's a good thing)but it tasted more like spicy sweet and sour chicken than KFC. I was expecting that the vegetable it was served with would be the traditional daikon and carrot but it was a scoop of finely shredded raw cabbage drizzled with Thousand Island dressing. The biggest problem I had was with the timing. Our orders were taken quickly and the bibimbap came soon after. My partner had finished his meal before mine arrived. Nothing much to say about the ambiance. It looks like an urban luncheonette which is exactly what it is. I would return but I'd skip the KFC. read more

One of the best Korean places in Chicago! The jjigaes are amazing whether hot or cold out. If desired there's a way to add more spice if that's your preference. The soondubu jjigae is loaded with ingredients, mainly tofu, and can easily be made into two meals. The tteokbokki is also delicious and if you take it to go they give you plenty of sauce that you can reuse foe another meal. Despite being incredibly busy and only having one server they were very efficient and the waiter made sure to listen to everyone's requests. The food also came out really fast. The restaurant is on the smaller side so can get crowded really fast but it adds to the authenticity hearing them tell orders and hear the kitchen cook your food. read more

We decided to come here for dinner. Unfortunately, tonight's experience ended up being not that great. I ordered the tofu bibimbap. I specifically told the waitress to put the beef mandoo on the side. I expected the mandoo to be on a separate plate. When the bowl came I saw the beef mandoo inside the bowl not on a separate plate. I started having an anxiety attack. Question: Who serves beef or any type of meat to a vegetarian? Why do that? For the next 10 minutes the waitress tried to convince me that this bowl was a new order. I told her I can't trust you. The bowl looked the same. I got the feeling that she or the chef took off the two mandoos off and gave me the same bowl. I felt disgusted. I told the waitress I did not want it anymore as I lost my appetite. Joseph ordered his meal. At least he ate a full meal whereas I left hungry. When the bill came, they charged us for the bowl I sent back. The waitresses had no choice but to take off that said meal from the bill. I felt that they wanted to punish us by charging us for the food I did not even eat. Seriously? I found that disturbing. read more

seafood pancake was the only good thing about this place - was def the best i've tasted in chicago so far. bibimbap was very mid and had a terrible protein to rice ratio. service was quite poor as there was only one server and he was working overtime (and he tried his best!) but my friend's order was wrong and it took a really long time to order and receive food. service took so long that i saw a few tables get up and leave. dirty tables too. read more

I ordered takeout from here and the food was delicious. It tastes very authentic to the Korean food I had while living in Korea! The tteokbokki is spicy and sweet and the rice cakes are firm. I do wish the rice cakes were soaked in the sauce a bit more so they weren't so firm. The dandak chicken is sweet and slightly savory. If you're looking for a casual, tasty, and authentic bite, this place is for you. read more

We came in last week and grabbed some takeout. Takeout was quick and easy and the hostess was very nice. First we got the Bibimbap, which was a fried egg, bulgogi beef, veggies and rice. It had really great flavor and delicious sauce with it, but there was not very much meat. Next we tried the R&B burger with marinated beef & pork, Swiss cheese and a pretzel bun. It was pretty good and a great price at $10, there was an option to add carmelized kimchi which we want to try next time! Finally we had the DanDak Korean style fried chicken which was our favorite! read more

We wanted to grab a quick dinner in Wrigleyville before a concert and stumbled upon Rice'N Bread, and was pleasantly surprised. It is a small restaurant, but almost every table was occupied and a steady of stream of take out orders. The menu is extensive offering Korean and American dishes. We shared the Yang Nyum Chicken and Beef Bulgogi Bawl.....( not misspelled) with an extra side of rice. The portions were huge. The Yang Nyum Chicken was my favorite. The chicken was tender and the sauce was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The chicken came with rice and a side salad. The dressing on the salad was so good, it was a Yum Yum sauce and we asked for extra for the rice. The Bulgogi Bawl, also was a large portion of rice with tender beef topped with an egg. Service was excellent, the servers were so kind. This was a pleasant surprise and it definately recommend. read more

This is the best Korean food place anywhere close to Wrigley! Perfect for an after-game meal, very affordable for the portion size, and we were sat immediately on a Saturday.

This place smells so good. The menu is nice and diverse. Mainly Korean fare, then burgers and breakfast with a Korean twist ( Eggs with the bulgogi) I was honestly going right for the Bulgogi but then the waitress brings out an order or Korean Fried Chicken to the the table and it just looked and smelled so good, like some of my fav Korean Fried Chicken places in Honolulu. Oh then they brought some jigae out, on my list for next time. It's quaint with a open kitchen, so you can smell what cooking. So yeah, the buldak KFC was so tasty and spicy but like perfect balance. It made me sweat a bit but did not burn my mouth while retaining distinct flavors. Great Texture, crispy and saucy but the meat inside juicy and tender. Nice portions too. I have enough for lunch! Definitely coming back to try their breakfast and lunch offerings and probably dinner. ... I totally left a draft unpublished. Terrible. Continuing a month later. Still tasty. Got the sweet soy sauce kfc, dandak and the Mrs got tofu Bulgogi. Still tasty. read more

Literally a hole in the wall by Wrigley with zero glamour but cheap pricing. not easy to find cheap food by Wrigley Our host/server/busgirl Gia ordered for me. What came out was Buldak. Crispy, boneless, spicy, sweet, dark meat fried chicken with a hint of curry - amazing! It was almost enough to feed two. My best friend/wife got the beef bibimbap it was fine. Both were around $13 you really can't complain. Recommended read more

Maybe my experience would have been different if I ate in restaurant, but I Doordashed a bibimbap and fried seaweed roll. Delivery was pretty quick, around 30 minutes, however I found the food to be underwhelming. The bibimbap is 90% rice and had maybe 2 tablespoons of beef (which was delicious). Most of the topping were bean sprouts and spinach. I was happy to see a runny egg but the rice also tasted overcooked. The fried seaweed rolls were ok, again, not sure if delivery made them soggy but they didn't taste like much. I might try them again if I eat in restaurant but as my first time trying them through delivery, I'm not super impressed. read more

There I was, walking a barely a mile or so from Wrigley Field when the can't-miss aroma of Asian cooking caught my nose and attention. I turned around and saw the storefront of this mom-and-pop establishment. And the deal maker? The bibimbap. I rarely have bibimbap -- the last time I ate it was five or six years ago -- and when I do, I leave the eatery satisfied. Granted, I'm going to add Rice'N Bread to the very small list of places that do the revered Korean staple right. The kitchen staff found a way to have the rice, vegetables, beef, and egg join forces together. I added some hot sauce for good measure. Before I knew it, I was scraping the bottom of my bowl. Those who chance upon Rice'N Bread will be treated kindly by a woman I assumed is the owner. That's a rarity for a hole in the wall Korean place. read more

Rice'N Bread - Kitchen area - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First Impressions: Rice 'N Bread has a nice, family-owned vibe that definitely gives off the feeling of being a local spot. It's a place where you feel like you're supporting a community. Taste: The food was just okay overall. The Pork Sundubu satisfied my craving for Korean stew, though it was less flavorful compared to similar dishes I've had in LA or San Diego. The R&B Galbi Burger was also just okay--besides the meat, the rest of the burger felt a bit bland with nothing particularly standing out. The Dandak tasted like chicken nuggets and needed the dumpling dipping sauce for a flavor boost. The Crispy Mandoo (dumplings) was likely from Costco, but it was the best part of the meal, with nice crispy edges. Cost: Pricing was fair for a local spot. With the amount of food we got, definitely worth it! Service: The service was friendly, and the place feels homey, which matches the overall local, down-to-earth vibe. Extras: It's worth checking out if you want to support a local business, but it's best to go in with modest expectations. read more

I've visited Rice'N Bread a couple of times now, and it's a cozy spot for Korean food. So far I've tried the Bibimbap, Dandak,Yang Nyum Chicken, and Pork over rice. All the dishes were delicious, but my favorite was definitely the Yang Nyum Chicken. The crispy chicken paired with the flavorful sauce really stood out. The portions are generous too and always leave me feeling full. The Pork over rice would be my second favorite, though I'm slightly picky when it comes to sauces. It was covered in two sauces that I'd personally prefer to be on the side so I can control how much I use. That said, it was still very tasty. The staff is always friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It's a smaller venue in Lakeview, which adds to the cozy dining experience. Safe to say, I'll be back to try more items from the menu! read more

Finally went to the restaurant and wow everything was so good. We had the Buldak- spicy Korean fried chicken which was amazing. We also loved crispy Mandoo which was fried dumplings. And had bulgogi squid again another winner. Service was great. I was so impressed they called someone whose food had not been yet picked up because they were concerned it was taking too long. I felt that said a lot. read more

4.5 stars: My friends and I stopped by Rice N' Bread at around 8pm on a weeknight. It's a small space and there were only a couple other patrons there, so we were seated immediately. The service and staff were truly so sweet, kind, and hospitable-- they created a really personable, intimate experience for us. As their motto suggests, they serve a lot of traditional American dishes, from burgers to omelettes, with a Korean / Asian twist, in addition to some traditional Korean dishes like jji-gae and bulgogi. I ordered the Seafood Sundubu Jji-gae, which came with a bowl of rice and small plates of kimchi and a pickled vegetable. The soup itself was hearty, aromatic, and slightly spicy, with rich and bold flavors. The silky tofu was delicious, had a wonderfully contrasting texture and mouthfeel to the other broth ingredients, and came in generous portions. Overall, would recommend this place, especially for the friendly service! read more

This place may be disguised as an American diner, and you can certainly get good diner food here, but they also have the best Korean food I've had in Chicago. The Pan Jeon Korean-style seafood pancake was absolutely perfect--moist seafood and a very crispy pancake. Dulsot Bibimbop was also about as good as it gets, with a mix of veggies and the protein of your choice on top of rice, in a searingly hot metal bowl guaranteed to turn the rice crispy on the bottom. Service was very friendly and the kitchen is quick. read more

I've had bibimbap at multiple places around Chicago and the tofu bibimbap at rice n bread has to be my favorite of all time. The tofu was cooked and marinated perfectly and was very tasty. The egg and everything else in the dish complimented it well. I will be going back here again to try out some of their other dishes soon too. The staff were all very very nice and helped us out with the menu and were pleasant to talk with. It is also in the Wrigleyville area, which is nice.

After hearing about this for the first time, I had to look around. It has such a great name. Rice N Bread is letting customers know what they're cooking and serving. Even with the name, it may not be apparent this is a Korean restaurant with items such as bulgogi. They also happen to serve breakfast like pancakes. Certainly the food isn't bad. It still has a kind of confusing menu. This may prompt one to ask if this place has an identity crisis, because of the unusual variety. I stopped in for lunch. This place is pretty small so it's good I wasn't with anyone or it would have been hard to get a seat. It was lunch so I got something light. The Bul Tofu Salad was a good cold item and enough for me at this time. It's about $9 for a big bowl. This has fried crispy tofu with carrots, green leaf lettuce, and a spicy chili pepper sauce. For me the most interesting thing was the combination of breakfast and lunch. It was odd to see all these different orders. They have limited but okay choices for vegetarians. read more
