I've had this restaurant bookmarked for quite a while and finally met up with a friend to try it out! No doubt, they specialize in two chicken soups that are listed at the very top of their menu, and we knew we had to try it. Personally, I've never had it before so I was ready to try something new. I love Korean food in general, but had not had something like this! We received our banchan after our meals came out and really enjoyed everything. I do understand that the soup itself can taste a little bland/lacking in flavor, but mind you they give you little bowls of salt to add. Also, there is rice inside the chicken, so make sure to open that bad boy up and get the rice into the broth. Mmmmm. I felt really healthy and not overly bloated after eating this food which was a nice feeling. On a Tuesday night there were a steady amount of people dining here, but it was horribly packed or anything. They also have a small parking lot on the backside by the alleyway as well which is convenient for those who drive. I'll definitely be back! read more

Fantastic, authentic Korean food. We couldn't believe there weren't places in Chicago that do kalguksoo, and then were so happy when we found this place. Their kalguksoo, samgyetang, and dakdolitang are fantastic. We will definitely be regulars at this place from here on out. (I can't believe someone complained about service staff not being enthusiastic about helping to take a picture. Read the room a bit. These types of places are run by family members that are always short staffed and very busy.) read more

A fellow elite yelper and I came here on a Tuesday night for their famed Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) and it totally lived up to its hype! If you've never had samgyetang before, it's a chicken soup where a whole chicken stuffed with glutenous rice is cooked in a simple broth with ginseng, ginger, garlic and jujube. It's as comforting as its American counterpart but if you eat it expecting salty soup like chicken noodle soup, you might find it bland. Think of it more like a health food that's meant to reinvigorate you on the hottest days of the summer. Yes, that's right, it's a summer food! (We Asians like eating hot or spicy foods in the summer to combat the summer heat!) Ssyal's samgyetang was so wholesome and nourishing, I literally devoured the whole thing and my soul couldn't have been happier! Also, don't snooze on their banchan; the flavorful little side dishes were perfect to eat with the simpler samgyetang. I personally didn't think the soup was bland, but if you're a sodium fiend who always needs more NaCl, worry not bc they give you a little bowl of salt along with the bowl of soup. I'll definitely be back for more when my soul needs recharging! :) read more

Decent food that's tasty. Very slow server since they have limited people working. It would be if they hire more people so I can tip them better. Each tip is based on the service provided and so everyone needs to adjust accordingly. I would go visit during off busy hours or order before coming.. Just didn't like the service as you can see. It was a long wait before they took out order and there was only 4 groups of people with one order taker. I am not sure if the theme since they are focused on ginseng wine. Don't they have samples or a discount on the first drink to try this out. Pricing seems higher than expected. We will pay another visit on days and times that they aren't busy. Parking is in the back although we were lucky to find street parking. read more

Great food! We went and got the spicy squid, premium ginseng soup, spicy beef broth soup, seafood pancake, bulgogi soup, mandu, and spicy rice cake with blackberry wine and the ginseng milkshake. The soups were the highlight!! The premium ginseng soup hits the spot on a cold winter day! Thick, clear broth with great chicken and herb flavor. It requires self seasoning (like most traditional Korean ginseng soup) and there is pepper and salt available to your liking. The spicy beef broth soup was amazing!! The beaten egg and veggies inside along with the tender beef were delicious. The spicy red level was also just right. The bulgogi soup was not my favorite as it was a little too sweet, but classic for this dish. It includes lots of veggies and potato starch noodle. The spicy rice cake and mandu were very good as well. The mandu seemed homemade and was evenly crisped all around. Interestingly the seafood pancake seemed to be made with like a tempura batter making it very light, airy than other pancakes I've had before. The ginseng milkshake was light and refreshing surprisingly while still maintaining a light ginseng flavor. The blackberry wine had a vinegar like tang to it but was enjoyable with the meal. Minus one star due to service. This was a busy night so they forgot/messed up some of our orders BUT they were SUPER NICE and comped their mistake. The table next to us had their soup accidentally given to us and were very snarky about us "having bad etiquette" for eating the soup without informing the workers (we ordered spicy beef soup and were confused at getting a non-spicy beef soup but we just decided to eat it and not mention it since we already tasted it by then-- we only realized the mistake after they handed us spicy soup and whereby they said no worries it was comped) and picked a fight. The workers didn't involve themselves. The encounter left a slight black smear to the end of the night, though the business can't help what customers they have. All in all a nice traditional Korean soup and dining place! read more

I was looking forward to trying out this spot as I heard some good things about here. It was pretty steady when my friend and I went, so when we went, service was a little slow. Ssyal Samgye Tang - my friend got this and described it as feeling comforted as eating it. The chicken meat was falling off the bone. My friend had added in all the salt that she was given. I tried some and it was okay. Naengmyeon - I had a taste for this for a while week before I was able to find it and order it. It honestly didn't really satisfy my craving which was kind of disappointing. read more

9.2/10 Probably one of the few Korean restaurants in the city worthy of samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup). The quality of the food lives up to its hype. For a hefty price of $20, you can get a rich bowl of chicken broth with a whole chicken to keep you warm during winter. The appetizer was a seafood pancake that opened up my appetite. This time, I got a simple soft tofu soup I'm medium spicy. Included were a rich broth, assorted seafood, and a poached egg. read more

My bf thought the dishes weren't seasoned enough, and while I understand what he means, I was fine with that. I appreciated nothing was over salted or greasy. The mixed black rice was a little hard though (stale, previously refrigerated/leftover?) Who knows, but the free side dishes made up for it! If I ever have the opportunity to dine in, I'd love to try Ginseng Chicken Soup and Neul Chan Jjim Dak, among others! read more

I have been wanting to visit this restaurant for some time and was looking forward to Bibimbap. I even splurged and went for the stone pot and extra meat. When it arrived, there was no egg on top. When I finally asked about where the egg, the server was surprised and asked me if I wanted it for $2 extra. I get the egg crisis is going on, but this dish is meant to have the egg and if I was willing to go extra for the stone pot why wasn't I given the chance to add the egg? Honestly, I believe they assumed I didn't know how it should be prepared so leaving it off was intentional. read more

Pictured is two different kinds of korean ginseng chicken soup (chicken stuffed with rice, herbs, ginseng, etc in a broth). One is the Ssyal Samgye Tang which is their regular and Cha-O-Reum Samgye Tang which is more of a medicinal herbal flavoring. Each soup is sort of naturally flavored and one can adjust their flavor of the soup with their specific fragrant salt that comes with the soup Also comes many side dishes such as kimchi, scallions, purple rice, etc Restaurant set-up inside was so nice and pristine 4201 W Lawrence Ave Chicago, IL 60630 read more

Over time, it traps dust, food particles, grease from the air, moisture, and bacteria. If it is not regularly deep cleaned or replaced, that buildup starts to break down and creates a heavy, musty odor. It does not stay contained in the carpet either, it rises into the air and essentially fills the entire space. The smell is so strong that it takes away from what would otherwise be a really good dining experience. Updating or properly maintaining the carpet would make an immediate and noticeable difference.

This is the flagship location which is being converted into a full restaurant. On this occasion there was inside dining and some outside dining available.

My favorites were the brisket, cornbread, apple slaw with the pulled pork and even the Mac and Cheese was hitting. The spice on the gumbo was good but I needed the temperature to be hotter. I will say that was only negative feedback, I felt the food was not warm enough. Overall, I enjoyed the food and the service. We were pleasantly surprised by the craft cocktails and wine available for purchase. The craft cocktails are really delicious and couldn't believe that you get a little bit bang for your buck. Again, I would highlight the flavor on the meat. The brisket didn't need anything to be added to it. I also enjoyed the smoked jalapeño sausage. A special bonus is that they sold Brown Sugar bakery cake. We got the caramel cake and it was good.

Our waiter was friendly, attentive, and more than happy to answer any questions we had about the menu. And the food? EVERYTHING we ordered was amazing. The pancakes were fluffy with just the right amount of crisp around the edges. The chicken and waffles were perfectly crunchy and packed with flavor. Such a cozy spot with great vibes and even better food. I'll definitely be back!

My brother got the shrimp and grits. I will say it felt like the service was a bit slow and we waited a bit for our food and even our drinks. Some people around us ordered the chicken and waffles which looked so good, it kind of overpowered what I was actually eating. It wasn't until I got home and ate my leftovers that I realized the breakfast sandwich was delicious. The egg was fluffy and the jam was yummy! My brother also enjoyed his food. We shared a side of Mac and cheese which I also thought was good. I would definitely return to try other things.

Little Bad Wolf

There's just something about a burger that actually lives up to the hype--and Little Bad Wolf does…read moreexactly that. Stacked unapologetically high, this burger is everything you want and more: juicy, perfectly seared patties layered with melty cheese, crispy bacon, and those golden, crunchy fried onions that take it completely over the top. Every bite is rich, savory, and just messy enough to remind you you're eating something seriously good. The toasted bun somehow holds it all together (barely), soaking up every bit of flavor without getting lost in the chaos. And then... the shoestring fries. Thin, crispy, golden perfection--light but addictive, with that ideal crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one (or ten). They're the kind of fries you keep reaching for without even realizing it, especially dipped in that creamy, tangy sauce on the side. And let's not forget the drinks--just as good as the food. Refreshing, perfectly balanced, and the kind you sip slow while taking it all in (but somehow they disappear way too fast). It's not just a burger--it's one of Chicago's most iconic bites for a reason. Bold, indulgent, and absolutely worth every single napkin you'll need after. The ambiance inside is GORGEOUS!

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

I doubt anyone leaves feeling less jolly than they did going in. On this visit, I started with the After Word to drink. It was light-bodied, not at all too sweet, and possibly went down *too* easily. We split the short rib poutine and I can't think of a better dish to get you through the winter. The meat absolutely melted in the mouth and the cheese was abundant and rich. Would order again in a heartbeat! We also tried the alligator bites as a seasonal special. I'd not had alligator before, but they were super crispy and spicy with an addictive gochujang sauce. It really does taste like chicken. If you've ever wanted to try alligator, this is the place to do it. For the main event, I opted for the red beans and rice hand pie. It came with a light, citrus salad and delicious hand cut fries with 3 dipping sauces, which were very fun to try. I loved the buttery pie crust but the filling tasty very tomato forward- I was missing the heat of a traditional red beans & rice and wished there was more seasoning. Still good. As usual, the portions were generous for the price and we left with leftovers. Absolutely recommend making the trek over here to give B&B a try, and will be back soon!

Then I forget for a few months, find another $20, end up stumbling across this place again and going "why don't I come here more?" This has happened three times. The most important part though- it's real tasty. Always. I'd say all of it, but I'm still working my way through the menu, but the burgers and Mac never let me down. The servers are always really laid back, and nothing feels rushed. I think it's part of the charm; somewhere to go and relax and take your time to enjoy the vibe. And you know what would help the vibe even more? Including the bread pudding on the menu full time. Keeping that bad boy stocked for me at all times. (This time was my first time seeing it on the specials menu and listen, it WAS special. So special that you should upgrade it to mainstay is all.)

Short rib poutine. Two kinds of gravy. Exceeding 3 bites may trigger profound regret and/or a heart attack. Beware.

I came here to try their famed chicken sandwich...and it's totally worth the hype! Sandwich came with a side of fries which should be the standard for all sandwiches in my opinion. Probably the best chicken sandwich I have had in Chicago (so far). My whole table was here to try the chicken sandwich, but I'll definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. All I needed to know was they have a happy hour menu.
