    Was supposed to be a steak quesadilla with rice.

    I used to be a regular. I order the same thing every time, steak quesadilla with rice. Over time they stopped putting as much steak in my orders. Last few months they've been making my order wrong. I called to make a complaint and got voicemail. I was a lil mad, who wouldn't be when your orders been consistently made wrong? Big husky guy (manager on his laptop in an empty store) ignored me when i asked for my order for a few minutes before calling for the employee in the back who didn't want come give me my order. Dude finally gets up and gives it to me. Let me know why my steak quesadilla came full of just rice instead. The male staff here has always been unfriendly. I admit i don't come off as the friendliest guy but that doesn't mean you can mess with the food i pay for and not give me the right order consistently for months. Coupled with the fact that they didn't even want to acknowledge me it seems like they've been making my food wrong on purpose for a long time. Never patronizing a Seoul Taco again. Makes me wonder if they're that blatant to mess with my food, how else they've messed with my food in ways i haven't noticed or if some of those guys have messed with other customers orders that they don't like.

    Chips and queso Combo Tacos (Bulgogi Steak, Chicken, Spicy Pork)

    My husband and I came here before our date night to the Vic Theatre. We had the combo tacos and the chips with queso to share as weren't as hungry but wanted to grab a bite before the show. The restaurant was quiet as we were the only ones there but it was quite busy for online orders. I hadn't been here in over 5 years and it is just as I remembered it. The meat for all the tacos were tasteful and filling. There was a lot mix greens in top but didn't mind it as I was able to add it to my chips with queso to get the overflow meat that had fallen. Would come back to try other items on the menu!

    First time Seoul taco and I liked it a lot. Service was fast and friendly and the menu is pretty accomplished to different dietary needs and restrictions. The interior is pretty cool with some great art and style like wallpaper of a city scene in Seoul, Korea and an awesome mural on the exterior with some new colorful window tints to make it eye catching. Our neighbor has a pretty diverse range of cuisine but it's light on Korean food so it's great to see some of the flavors in a fusion presentation. I had the taco sampler with beef bulgogi, chicken and spicy pork. They had some great flavor contrast. Topped a tasty vinegarette and kimchi flavors, I added Gochujang to kick it up with a bit of spice and it really hit the spot. My wife had the Gogi bowl which was well proportioned and looked pretty delicious. I had a similar flavor palette with heaps of veggies and rice. The veggie option has two sunny eggs and it just reminds me of a bowl I'd get in Hawaii. Definitely check it out, both dishes mentioned are a great place to start.

    For Sunday brunch, we decided to come to Seoul Taco. Glad to see that Seoul Taco opened up. Even though Seoul Taco offered a smaller menu, the food tasted fresh. I ordered the Gogi Bowl. It came with carrots, green onions, mixed salad greens, and sesame sauce. The vegetables laid on top of a white bed of rice. I requested the kitchen staff to place the gochujang sauce to the side. Joseph orders the Three tacos with beef. Located at the left side of the restaurant, the counter looked very clean. After ordering, we waited only 5 minutes for our food. Talk about fast service! I felt proud to see an all female staff on board on a Sunday. This made a difference for me. With the contemporary music hitting the air waves, I thought Seoul Taco could double as a karaoke bar. That would be fabulous! Come to Seoul Taco. Bring friends, family or being a date. I highly recommend this place.

    Very solid experience! I am generally skeptical of fusions (most of them just don't cut it at risk of sounding pretentious) but this one works splendidly. I ordered a chicken burrito, pic included. This has a mild amount of spice, so it should be accessible for those who don't love tremendously spicy food. The flavors are an intriguing blend of Mexican and Korean spices on tender, pleasantly grilled chicken layered on what I think was sticky rice but with Mexican hints. It's also reasonably priced for a quick lunch. If you're near a Seoul Taco and want something other than a salad or sandwich, give this a try.

    Good food and fun fusions. It's a pretty standard quick service vibe when you go in, don't let the weird glass windows prevent you from trying. Service was fast and efficient.

    Has potential. I think opening day was yesterday or the day before so consider that context when reading this review. I was excited and watching for this opening in the former Big and Littles space on Belmont (see note above re: timing of visit). Ultimately my vote is "okay" though still very early days. The place has been rebranded but otherwise feels very much like the last spot. And frankly, pretty sticky for a brand new spot. There are bumps which could be helped by an experienced manager or excitement by the ciunter team. Heavy things are still being moved into place and seemingly knocked around jisr out of eyesight. Trash is brought from the kitchen, across the dining spaces through the front door and to the alley. There is no branding - or more importantly handles - on the to-go bags. I'm sure those items will be sorted. Food took just under 15 minutes, though I will note only one other couple was eating in the restaurant, nobody else came in, and phone/online orders seemed not to be turned on. So don't count on me here. I was surprised how greasy/fried everything was. Yes, I understand the cuisine but somehow I expected a bit lighter. Still working on cook times but flavors were there. Tofu taco, fabulous. Sweet potato fries overcooked. Tortilla chips undercooked. Quesadilla solid. Elote quesadilla a but too much. Totally reasonable value for the pricing. Would try again in a few weeks. Good luck to a new neighborhood spot!

We had the Cloud 9 and Honey I strung the figs, both were quite unique and very good, surprisingly. What bugged me most was that the whole restaurant seemed to have only one waiter who takes orders. He was quite friendly and detailed in explaining.each and everything. But, that was exactly the problem. The waiter spent so much time on each table upfront. I got way impatient after a while waiting for him to come back to check on us. If we would have known better, we should have ordered and requested everything upfront. We did not expect him to have forgotten (or ignored) us for that long of time. In addition, I would have thought that the food, cooked and uncooked, would at least come out one after the other, at a steady pace. Well ok, they did come at a pace, but a very slow pace, very non-continuing. E.g the rice came out only when almost all meat was gone. So we never warmed up to the mood of having a satisfying meal as we have minimal on the table at any time to work on. Not quite satisfying as a dining meal experience. However, and however, If you want to come and take your time to chat and chat for the whole night, it might be the place. Have fun and enjoy your time with minimal interruption. No rush at all! I usually prefer good food first and then reasonably attentive service. So. I'd have to pass on this place. There are other better Korean fare for food out there.

Sister restaurant to the well-known Han Bat Sul Lung Tang in LA. Takes only cash but there's an ATM in the shop. The dining experience here is a vibe. There's only a few people running the shop, and every time I come here, somehow there's only a few people dining in. It's a fairly small space, but beautiful shop. Very peaceful. A good place to enjoy a nice, warm bowl of ox bone soup. It is a bit far from the city center, but it's well worth the trek. The food is delicious. Each meal comes with whole cabbage kimchi, which gets cut up in front of you, and diced radish kimchi. Both side dishes are absolutely delicious and fresh. When the soup comes out, you get to salt and pepper the soup to your own liking. Honestly some of the best Korean food in Chicago.

The service is just so-so, which honestly reinforces that this is not an Americanized Korean restaurant. The space itself is very small and feels quite old and worn down. Many items are kept outside the kitchen area, almost as if they belong inside, giving the place a cluttered, no-frills atmosphere. As for the food, the soup is decent but nothing particularly memorable. However, the radish and kimchi stand out--they taste genuinely house-made and are easily the best part of the meal. Overall, this place is more about authenticity than comfort or presentation. If you value traditional Korean flavors and don't mind a rough, utilitarian setting, it may be worth a visit.

For starters, we ordered the kimchi pork dumplings and grilled octopus, which both tasted great, but the kimchi flavoring did overpower everything. Our main course included the marinated short rib, wag rib eye, and a5 5 brisket which were all cooked to perfection by our server. However, my experience at Perilla Steakhouse was hands down frustrating. Upon arrival, things were off to a rough start when I could barely hear the server over the music. At times, I felt like our server was rushing us through our meal based on how much less attention he gave us versus the other tables. I'm not someone who needs my glass refilled every minute either to be clear, but things did feel off with how slow our meal was paced out and the general disinterest the server had in us. For reference, we arrived early to a nearly empty restaurant that hadn't started peak dining time yet. I recognize the steakhouse is an upscale, chic take on traditional Korean dishes and I admire the chef for sharing his culture with the city. I also understand restaurants are going to be more expensive, the closer you are located in relation to downtown. Even so, in comparison to other nearby high-end restaurants, the price to portion ratio for our meal felt off. For example, our $16 dumplings included 3 dumplings on a plate. Yes, there's an argument for inflation and the cost of quality ingredients, but I argue that at this price point we shouldn't have left hungry either.

They said it's basically a Korean restaurant with not much Korean food on the menu, but is really good. That immediately sparked my curiosity. I said let's go, it sounds interesting. We all met at 8:00 at Parachute that sorta, kinda sometimes takes reservations; and we did not have one. Not to fear, as the greeter-seater got us three stools at the bar, which by the way, were the best seats in the house. Parachutes menu was all over the place but my son particularly pointed out their hamburger, and I (then) knew why: Living in Los Angeles for a k-billion years, my favorite hamburger was at a restaurant called My Father's Office, owned by Sang Yoon, a Korean chef. His off-beat burgers were sensational! The burger here at Parachute were equally off-beat, so I immediately ordered it. Damn, was it delicious! There were so many things going on here that my head was buzzing, trying to put all these flavors together? And yes, their burger rivaled Chef Yoons burger in L.A.! The burger came cut in two with each side resting in mayo and BBQ sauce. Wow, was it bizarre, offbeat, unique, atypical and the adjectives keep on going; but the adverb used on the burger was - MESSY, and I loved it. I didn't need napkins to stay clean, I needed a beach towel. The fries I ordered were fantastic along with their banana based ketchup which again was strangely weird but excellent. My OB Korean beer paired perfectly with my "Perfect Storm" hamburger. My son and his fiancee went with a salad and Pad Thai Noodles with shrimp which was equally as delicious as my meal. Parachute Hi Fi was definitely an anomaly that I enjoyed very (very) much. And, yes, I'll be back!

You might need to look up or get educated by staff as to some of the ingredients and presentations as the menu does t go into detail. Ask away - they're happy to help.

The portion size was gigantic, but the japchae itself consisted mostly of vegetables (carrots, onions, bokchoy, and of course mushrooms) so it was easy enough to finish the portion in one sitting. Despite its size, the dish was extremely light and flavourful and I had enough room for cheesecake at a neighbouring establishment. My friend ordered the pork bento box, and though I don't eat meat, the arrangement and plating of the food was a beautiful visual spectacle. We shared the spiced fries that came with a creamy aioli dip - the fries were perfectly spiced but perhaps not unique to this restaurant in terms of quality and flavour. There were many dishes on the menu that looked like they were veganizable, so I will definitely try them when I return. The ambience was unremarkable, though the restaurant was very clean. You need to order at the counter and the food is brought to your table. The servers were very polite. The food is on the pricier end in the context of a somewhat characterless ambience and the fact that you need to order at the counter. My friend and I travelled for nearly an hour to get to this restaurant, and were quite pleased on the whole. We will definitely be back, and I look forward to trying more vegan/vegetarian options!
