    Yummy! This is a Korean snack shop. I wasn't sure how it was going to be because Chicago doesn't really have many Korean restaurants, especially ones that are NOT fusion. (To be clear, this is definitely more modern, but you could eat this in Seoul) It sticks it! Its comparable to places I've had in LA. Small, focused menu on the snack shop basics: tteokbokki (both the stick and in sauce) and Korean dogs. It's affordable, most things are under $10. Service is efficient. [[HIGHLIGHT]]K-pop playing on the TV so it has the vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The tteok (rice cake) was soft and chewy as it should be. And the sauce was nice and spicy. I wish my original tteokbokki came with an egg because that's classic, but a minor gripe. Now I wish there was a place that did kimbap.

    Service was a bit slow. I got the injeolmi corn dog and it was okay. I hoped that it had more powder around the dog but it seemed like it was just a dash on too. Additionally their prices seem a bit inflated as they had rice cakes with hot dogs on a single stick for over $6. I personally do not think it is worth it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is cute place potentially to hang with friends or get a snack.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We stopped by Seoul Stick and tried their Hot Cheeto Corn Dog (half hot dog, half mozzarella) with fried potatoes and an Original Cup Tteok-bokki with fish cake and kimchi. Both dishes were absolutely delicious - the corn dog was crispy, cheesy, and packed with flavor, making it one of the most fun snacks I've had in a while! The Tteok-bokki was equally fantastic - the fish cakes paired perfectly with the spicy - sweet sauce, and the kimchi added a tangy kick. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Besides the food, the restaurant has a fun K-pop themed ambience, complete with music and an instant photo booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, a really enjoyable experience with bold flavors and great textures. Highly recommend if you're craving tasty Korean street food!

    I had been dying to try a Korean corn dog and I'm so glad my first experience was at Seoul Stick. I ordered a corndog that was half beef and half cheese with potatoes on the outside. We also got the hot Cheeto french fries to share as a table. The food was very messy but I greatly enjoyed it. It was super rich so I didn't finish my corn dog but enjoyed every bite. I wish that they had water cups instead of needing to buy a bottle. The service was quick on a Saturday at lunch time and we were easily able to get a table for our group.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is so cute and has so many great options.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My friend and I got tteokbokki on a stick and some hot fries - honestly the perfect snack. The food was made fast and it was delicious! Would love to come back and try some other items!

    Came as part of my 5,700 mile food tour. Really excited for the uniqueness of the menu. Ordered the following: Sausage and cheese stick bokki (rice cake, sausage, gochujang) + BDD Corn Dog (ramyun crumbs and spicy glaze with hotdog and cheese inside ). Enjoyed the crunch of the ramen around the sausage. The cheese meshed well with it. Staff member super friendly. Minor bummer was the specialty item on site was different upon arrival.

    This is the Cup Bokki Original so good highly recommend i love taking my friends here!

    Good service fast cooking taste so good as a person who loves food and is picky on quality. Its overall a 10/10

    Was worried it would be gimmicky, but I was wrong! The range of snacks is great and there are plenty of indulgent foods to choose from. They nailed the sweet potato hot dog imo. Even though they took a while to make our food, it was worth it because you could tell it was freshly made. They mimicked the Korean street food vibes well with the decor. The kpop music videos playing in the background were fun as well! - AT

    I love Seoul Stick! We came here just as an impromptu detour since the sign caught our eye from across the street. Their corndogs and stick-bokki (which is really just 떡꼬치 TteokKochi) were so crispy, and their sauce was very flavorful. The interior has a mostly minimalist aesthetic, but the service is reliable (albeit a little long, since they do make everything to order) and the ambiance is quite relaxing. It would be very nice to come here with a small group of friends to get Korean street food.

    I got the ramyun/tteokbokki and it was way too sweet for me. But the Korean corn dog was AMAZING! The other rice cake was also good but the beef was definitely the Korean corn dog.

    Ramyun Cup Bokki

    Got to-go and it was ready pretty quickly. The soddok soddok was crispy and packed well (love that the box had a hole for the stick!). I also ordered the ramyun tteokbokki and was really impressed by the flavor! Great heat on it and lots of goodies like fish cake, sausage, rice cakes, cabbage, and cheese. I normally don't like the ramyun one but I may be converted now! They also had boba tea available but I didn't get a chance to get any. A little pricy ($25) for the meal but happy with the food.

    A pretty new, hyped up spot on Wicker Park's Milwaukee Ave serving a solid range of classic Korean street food staples. It's counter-serve, and the interior is decently spacious, but there aren't too many tables in total. It can get kind of pricey if you're trying to have it as a full meal, as the portions are pretty small / snack-sized. But the prices are reasonable-- everything below cost ~$38. My friend and I tried the following items: - Rose Cup-Booki: Big fan of this one; the flavors were strong, the textures were soft and creamy; delicious all around. - Injeolmi Corn Dog: Got this one with all beef sausage-- I liked it! The grainy flavor was pretty distinctive. - Hot Cheeto Corn Dog: Got this one with all mozzarella-- the hot cheeto flavor wasn't as strong as I expected, but it was pretty good still with the sweet and spicy mayo flavors pulling through. As a whole, the corn dogs are better than Kong Dog (my only point of reference lol). - Original Stick-Bokki: This was pretty good too-- the texture is tight and sticky. A lot of people do takeout here, so we found a seat pretty easily on a Sunday night. The food was pretty slow to come out though. Overall, I was a fan and would come back to try the other stuff on the menu. They have a good amount of vegetarian options too! -- Price (relative to peers): 4.1/5 Food: 4.3/5 Ambience: 4.4/5 Service: 4.5/5 Overall Value: 4.3/5

    I walked into Perilla fully intending to grab a few happy hour bites, call it a day, and maybe come…read moreback another time for the "real" experience. Then I saw the KBBQ menu and all bets were off. I immediately pivoted and ordered the chef's tasting set, the Diweji, featuring pork jowl, pork collar, and pork belly, complete with an assortment of banchan. Zero regrets. And here's the part that should tell you everything you need to know: I am a certified radish hater. I avoid it whenever possible. Yet somehow, I found myself repeatedly reaching for the radish banchan and asking for more. Even the soup - which also featured radish - was absolutely delicious. If Perilla can convert someone who actively dislikes radish into a fan for one meal, that's saying something. The soju was exactly what I wanted with Korean barbecue: crisp, clean, and refreshing. I appreciate that it was neutral rather than overly sweet. The flavored, sweeter versions aren't really my thing unless the food is setting my mouth on fire. Speaking of spice, the wings were good: juicy, well-executed, and satisfying but I kept wishing they packed a little more heat. They weren't spicy at all, and a bigger kick would have taken them from very good to unforgettable. As for the meats, the pork jowl was gloriously rich and fatty, exactly what you'd expect from that cut. The pork collar ended up being my favorite: flavorful, tender, and with just the right balance of meat and fat. The pork belly was comforting and familiar - the classic KBBQ staple done well, with beautifully rendered edges and that indulgent quality that makes it a crowd-pleaser for a reason. The set also came with potatoes that were unexpectedly delicious. My only complaint? It was far too much food for one person. The service deserves its own mention. Everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The entire meal was delivered with efficiency and a smile, making a solo diner feel completely comfortable lingering and enjoying the experience. What I thought would be a quick happy hour stop turned into one of my favorite meals.

We ordered a seafood soup, seafood pancake, and a salmon crunch roll. We quickly realized that this was an atypical Korean restaurant experience as we did not receive banchan and there were not many traditional options on the menu. I think that should've been our cue to go, but we stayed and were very disappointed. The service was extremely slow. We had to ask multiple times when it was coming, and when the food finally came out, it was underseasoned and the texture was very off. The seafood pancake tasted deep fried and had chunks of imitation crab. It had the texture of an unrisen focaccia. The soup was tasteless, and the salmon roll was drenched in mayo and eel sauce. They also gave us a "special" hot sauce that tasted like just a mix of sriracha and Tabasco. Small highlights: the ambiance was nice; it seemed clean. Waiter was nice enough. I hate giving bad reviews, but this was quite a shocking meal.

We both got the soup, but you need to add salt and pepper to the soup to make it to your liking.

The soups were warm, delicious, and soothing with the tender meat and delicate clear noodles. The service was great; it's run by an older Korean lady that seems so sweet when she comes to take your order and makes sure you enjoyed everything. She asked how everything was and even offered more side dishes since we finished it all. The ambiance is very simple there; you're seated and read off a menu on the wall. It's also cash only, so I'd make sure to bring cash! (There is an atm there just in case though). Additionally, there's a small parking lot if you're lucky to get a spot.

Strike 1: We had an 8:00PM reservation for six, checked in at 7:50, and weren't seated until 8:20--despite plenty of open tables. Then we waited another 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Strike 2: We understood service might be slower with a large party nearby, but nonexistent is more accurate. Our server was taking shots with that table while we waited 20+ minutes for water. At the end of the meal, the same server had the nerve to ask us for a positive review in exchange for free meat. Suddenly, the good reviews for this place make a lot more sense. Strike 3: Management was somehow even worse. I asked to speak with a manager and had two different people come over claiming to be one. One was the second server taking shots with the large party--and was visibly intoxicated and slurring his words while handling a table with scissors and open flames. When I called it out, his response was, "I only did one shot." That's not an excuse; it's a liability. The "real" manager was at least pleasant, but ultimately could only remove the automatic gratuity. Do yourself a favor and skip this place. Between the ridiculous wait times, nonexistent service, employees drinking on the job, and complete lack of accountability from management, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. And for a birthday dinner, it was especially unacceptable.
