Just order here for the first time; I got the spicy fried chicken and kimchi fried rice. Food was fantastic and will be coming back to try more items read more

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

I went at a time when there weren't a lot of customers so the service was good. I really enjoyed the dolsot bibimbap and would definitely come back for that! I also felt the price was reasonable after tip. Great place to get Korean food in a diner setting. read more

RATING: 8.5/10 tried the beef stone bowl bibimbap at the recommendation of the store owner and it blew my mind! Reasonably priced too. Everything was well seasoned and the crispy rice at the bottom was the die for. The service was also incredibly friendly and warm. read more

You can feel the classic small diner vibe right when you walk in, with pictures of past customers all over the one wall. The service is great, and the staff are super friendly. I ordered the spicy yangnyum chicken, recommended to me by the staff. Did not disappoint, I was very satisfied with my food, great portions for a good price. The flavor was definitely there too. Overall, I would definitely come back to this place, and I recommend it to people looking for korean food in the area. read more

The food here is so so so BOMB! If you ever have a craving for Korean this is the spot and it hits! We got a variety of dishes and it all was so good. I've been bugging my husband to take me back because I love Korean food so much and this is the spot that fulfills my cravings. The service is a bit slow but I can see why because they have so much orders for carry outs and dine ins. We tend to over ordered and had leftover for days and it was so good. read more

What an unassuming but amazing place - who knew you could find a Korean restaurant/American diner just a block away from Wrigley Field? Who even knew you could combine those two into one spot? We've been a couple times, and while it can be a little tight inside we were able to come with our little baby as well. I haven't actually tried the American diner side of things other than the fries just because the Korean side has so many enticing options. The spicy buldak chicken brings the heat. The galbi makes for a delicious brunch and the soondubu tofu soup comes out lava hot like you'd hope. The service is great and they really loved our baby which was super fun for him. If only they were open on Sundays! I get they need a break, but some soondubu would have really helped my dads night out hangover. Still, will come back when they are open! read more

Food has declined with current owner who has a terrible disposition and is rude to his server, charged me for a raw tube of Tofu we sent back! Also watch out for a $ 2.15 "Administration Fee"! Four of that have been going there since it was "Chester's in 80's" have gone for the last time. read more

Went here for lunch and tried and few apps and split the beef bulgogi. The beef bulgogi was so good! We definitely ran out of rice towards the end, but it was so saucy and tasty. The crispy mandoo was also super good - would get the 8 pcs if we went back. The crispy tofu was decent. The sauce on top was really good, but the cubes were just a little too big so if was very tofu forward. read more

Yes. Eat here. Fast service. Great smells right as you walk in. Bibimbap was so good.

We ordered from Rice'N Bread last night after looking for something new to try. We read the amazing reviews on Yelp and ordered right through the app. The food came in about 30ish minutes which we were pleasantly surprised about. It was piping hot and traveled well! I went with the chicken bulgogi and my partner tried the chicken over rice. We also got a side order of the buldak. The buldak was hands down my favorite item we ordered. The chicken was flavorful, cripy, and perfectly cooked. It was spicy, but not to the point where you can't eat it. The chicken bulgogi wasn't my favorite unfortunately. It was very soupy and everything in it kind of moshed together. I also didn't love the flavor. I've only ever had beef bulgogi, so it could just be that chicken isn't for me! We ended up swapping meals halfway through because my partners was too spicy for even (even though I ordered mild) and I really liked the chicken over rice. It was flavorful, I only wish that there was a little more chicken in the dish since the rice really dominated the meal. I think Rice'N Bread was a great choice and we enjoyed our first experience. Since we're new to the menu we didn't really know what to order. I hope to visit in person to get the full experience and suggestions from the servers (my favorite way to order). Thanks to fellow Yelpers who suggested the buldak - definitely stole the show for me! read more

Food was really good. I got the beef bulgogi bibimbap. Very tasty, but the portion size for the beef was pretty pathetic. I could've eaten all of it in one munch. And because of that , I probably won't order from here again unfortunately. :/ Oh also just wanna add that the egg rolls were bomb! So yum! read more

Amazing taste & very friendly service. Jacob is great. Best ever seafood pancake and tofu soup. Definetely we will come back very soon. read more

Rice'N Bread - Teriyaki beef and fried rice - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here for breakfast with a few friends on a Friday morning. It's a little family-owned (?) diner that I can tell is run with love and passion! I got the akutagawa after hearing that this was one of the only places to serve this dish. It comes on a HUGE dish with sprouts, eggs, peppers, onions, and protein (and option to add gravy - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). The portion is GIGANTIC but the dish was so delicious that I finished it all (even though it was quite a lot for breakfast LOL). For only $7 it was way worth it. The eggs and onions and gravy just gave the akutagawa so much flavor I couldn't stop eating it. The owner (?)/server was SO sweet and friendly - we loved talking to her during our meal. She was so happy to hear that we absolutely LOVED the food. We tried to go again another day but they were closed for the day Overall - you MUST come to Rice n' Bread for breakfast/brunch. Not only is the food incredible and comes with huge portions for the price, the owners are super sweet and friendly. Probably the best start to my day of my entire trip! Highly recommend everyone come try this place! read more

Obsessed with the pajeon here. I ordered to go and immediately scarfed it down so I don't have a photo but it's so worth it. Basically, it's a Korean seafood pancake if you haven't had it before, and comes with a sweet soy sauce for dipping. I also got the Korean fried chicken which was delicious too. It was a good amount of food so I had leftovers for the next day. Can't wait to go back! read more

What a lovely small Korean restaurant! We had a very large crowd and the owner was so kind and accommodating. The food came pretty quick and it was hot and delicious. They have all the traditionally popular Korean dishes like bulgogi and galbi. I had beef kimchi jigae that hit the spot on a cold day. There are great appetizer choices. I absolutely loved the crispy fried mandoo with the sauce. There are sides for the table like kimchi and pickled daikon. The fries are very addictive too! read more

In a city of overpriced and overhyped restaurants, Rice 'N Bread is a breath of fresh air. Delicious food, generous portions, amazing service, and it is incredibly affordable. Also, perhaps the best bibimbap I've ever had. read more

Rice 'N Bread is pretty terrible. The name is suitable, though, since the food is so bland that it might as well be (flavorless) rice and bread. There's nothing particularly interesting about the decor of the restaurant. Feels like a small little 'hole in the wall' kind of place, and the service is exactly what you would expect from that kind of place. We meandered into the restaurante at around 8:00 pm. We were not greeted by the staff and no one seemed care that someone had entered the establishment. After we were seated, the waitress did not ask for our drink order. She was not friendly. She did not explain the menu. Nothing. You can get better service from a fast food joint. We placed our order, and it is certainly a moment that I regret in hindsight. First, the dumplings. Bland. Tastes like they were in the freezer, then flash fried. They have that strange aftertaste that frozen food has. Weirdly pungent, but in the worst possible way. Texturally, the dumplings were also a disaster. The middle is like a golf ball. Have you ever had frozen meatballs? Texturally, that is exactly what these dumplings resembled and, unfortunately, they tasted just as bad. Next, the egg rolls. Again, there's a very unpleasant, pungent taste. I'm not sure what ingredient that is, but it's certainly not found in Korea. When you freeze an egg roll like that, it's going to be very dry. When you then overcook the egg roll, it's going to get even dryer. It was like eating sandpaper. Next, the Bibimbap. These are supposed to be bursting with flavor. Unfortunately, this might have been the worst bibimbap I've ever had. Bland. The egg was overcooked. The rice was overcooked (mushy) and under-seasoned. The beef was also under-seasoned. No pop of flavor. No excitement. It was like eating baby food. Finally, the Korean fried chicken. Disgraceful. Overcooked, dry, crunchy, and under-seasoned. It was quite literally like eating cardboard. Mcdonald's has better chicken than this place. I absolutely detest what they serve at this restaurant. read more

Run dont walk!!!! Amazing amazing amazing!!! Food her is phenomenal and I cant wait to come back. Service is very friendly and attentive. Tofu appetizer is perfectly flash fried with incredible flavor. Galbi short rib came hot and steaming along with rice,some kimchi and pickled cucumbers. Tasted delicious. We also ordered the dandak which had a great spice level and was so juicy. Order these 3 things and you wont be disappointed! read more

Excellent Korean spot with all the staples plus some inventive fusion dishes! We tried the yet ca mien noodles which was a savory broth with boiled egg, fresh green onion, your choice of protein (we did pork), and delicious flat rice noodles. Also got the spicy don galbi (pork ribs) served sizzling in a hot stone plate that cooks down the raw onion underneath into browned goodness within a few minutes! Served with kimchi, pickles and fluffy sticky rice. Really homey spot with super friendly service and a great variety! We will be back :) read more

I don't know how this place gets a 4.4 average. Some of the food is okay. The chicken they use is solid and the sauces are good. But, the sides, like egg rolls are probably the worst over ever had. I took a bite and threw the rest out. Stomach ache followed for both me and my partner. We got takeout so I can't comment on service and ambiance. I am very unlikely to eat here, again. read more

The only problem I had with this place is that I couldn't stop eating my dish until every bite was gone! The food was absolutely delicious, but what stood out even more was the incredibly exceptional service by Je-am. When we thanked her for being so wonderful (we assumed she was the owner), she shared that she just loved working here and customers and that she had been on the team for 13 years. She radiated pure joy. We will definitely be coming back for the food and the positive energy coming from this place. Don't be scared off by this local business with sticky notes pinned around on the back wall from years of great food and service. Oh, I forgot to mention...the food I couldn't stop eating was the Korean Fried Chicken in mild sauce. Business is BYOB with a store right next door. read more

Some of our favorite dishes include the bibimbap with tofu, the spicy yetcamein with tofu, and the egg rolls. We can't recommend this place enough, it has quickly become our favorite spot. read more

Ordered for delivery from here twice and I have to say the pork tofu soup and seafood tofu soups are really good. Hands down my favorite dishes. We also tried the seafood pajun today and it was still piping hot delivered!! So impressed, good portion size I highly recommend trying this here. I'll certainly visit the restaurant if I'm ever in the neighborhood. read more

Delicious! And the people/service is so nice and thoughtful. Can't wait to go back. And not expensive at all for how much food you get!

I have been visiting this location for a while. It's a genuinely comfortable setting for a family brunch. I tell so many people about this restaurant since the staff is very kind and always remembers your name and your order; one of them even recognized my significant other's voice and already knew what we ordered by heart. 10/10 would advise read more

I was really in the mood for some beef bulgogi one night so I decided to give this place a try having read some doordash reviews. Wasn't expecting it to be too good since I ordered delivery (yes I know this is my own fault but I'm lazy). It was still very tasty and flavorful despite having gotten it delivered. The beef was extremely tender and the white rice it came with had a good fluffy texture to it as well. My only complaint is it's kind of pricier than I would have liked but so is almost everything nowadays. Despite my one gripe, I would definitely go back for that bulgogi and possibly try some of their other options. read more

Was not expecting to be able to get anything that comes close to LA K-town, but very surprised. Great food. Authentic flavor. Would recommend. And definitely will come back. Thank you! read more

Local lowkey eatery that I like to frequent because of several reasons. For one, it's a BYOB establishment, so please feel free to bring your drinks of choice! Love Chicago for this concept! Secondly, the Thai lady that works here is extremely friendly! I'm hoping one day my photo will end up on that wall (I know she's super busy! LOL). Lastly, the food is bomb and affordable here! I'm serious, I've had several Korean plates and have been very happy and seeing my check at the end is just another reason to continue coming back. Service is good, it's closeby to my place, and the food is bomb! If you're going to a Cubs game, why not just pregame here with your own drinks and cheap food, and THEN make your way through Wrigleyville bar hopping? read more
