Sherwin C.

Nice casual spot for some delicious Korean food. For those who are contemplating the spicy options, do be warned that the spice level, even at level 1 is quite a bit spicier than most of the Asian restaurants in the area. With that said, if you enjoy spicy food this place will definitely hit the spot, especially with the great flavors and ingredient combinations that you can definitely taste the quality in. Service is a bit minimal here as you clean up after yourself after the meal. The Rose tteobokki is probably about the right spice level for most people to enjoy the chewy stir-fried rice cake with a good level of saltiness provided by the fish cake and sausage that's simmered in a creamy spicy sauce. If it's too spicy for you, I'd definitely recommend mixing in some additional rice cakes or other ingredients at home, but don't miss out on this delicious sauce. If you're not ad adventurous though, the bibimbop here is delicious with a tasty mix of radish, mushroom, kale, carrot, bean sprout, and a perfectly fried egg. Though the gochujang is recommended to be mixed in, asking for teriyaki sauce creates a deliciously sweet and non-spicy alternative to enjoy this dish. Overall, quick, simple, and delicious. You may be a bit limited if you're not a fan of spicy food, but even with a few modifications you can enjoy flavorful and fresh food that's presented well.

My family said this was some of the best food they've ever had. The owner was there and took a lot of pride in his food and his restaurant. All around it was a great experience.

Got my bibimbap to go and ate it by the lake, perfect for a solo date. Lots of flavor and friendly service!

Tempura

Quick and delicious meal, an unexpected surprise! Tempura appetizer was really good as were the soy honey wings House special bibimbob was fresh and tasty, surprisingly large portion full of tons of veggies, marinated beef and lovely fried egg Dumpling ramen was delicious and spicy Super pleasant and helpful woman at the counter We'll be back!

I went to Ttobokki Korean Restaurant with my husband and a friend. You order at the counter. I immediately felt pressure, standing in front of the counter while pouring over their extensive menu. I finally decided on the seafood udon. There is house made broth available for those dining in. This broth had a really good flavor to it. When the udon arrived, it was too hot to eat. After letting it sit for ten minutes, it was so too hot to eat. I was forced to order another dish, so I would have something to eat. This is not a good way to show your customers respect. The bulgogi bimibop that I ordered as my second dish was very good. Everything was fresh and flavorful. I will not be returning to Ttobokki Korean Restaurant.

Finally got to try this new place! Everything we had was delightful! I esp like the wings and hottek (Korean dessert pancake). The wings came with toasty rice cake super yummy! The kimbap we had got sesame leaf in it which I thought was refreshing and added a new dimension to the normal rice roll! Relatively speaking, the ttekboki got nothing to write home about. It would hit the spot if you crave it.

Dumpling Ramen
David S.

Why, oh WHY, did it take me so long to try this place out? It's literally three minutes from my house. I went with a friend for lunch, and it was DELICIOUS. We both ordered dumpling ramen and split the bulgogi nachos. Everything was so flavorful with just the right amount of spicy kick. No complaints whatsoever the service. Staff was friendly and our food was served in a reasonable amount of time. My only recommendation to the restaurant would be to make the pricing more obvious, but that's a minor thing. I definitely plan on going back, and often.

PHENOMENAL! Small but adorable atmosphere. The ttekbokki was pillowy,chewy, spicy and DELICIOUS!

Cupbop

I'm a fan of Hakuya Sushi so naturally I'd check this new spot out. Love the cupbop and kimbap and the variations we can make. Also love the soup provided free for those dining in. It's so cute inside and I'm never disappointed in what I choose.

Tteokbokki, Korean Kimchi Pancake, Bulgogi Ramen, Japchae, Spicy Bulgogi Kimbap
Tracy L.

Our first time ordering, so we decided to try more than we needed to. Overall, nothing was bad and all tasted good. We enjoy spicy, and most places aren't actually that spicy, but I was actually surprised by the spice level from the Spicy Bulgogi Kimbap- definitely had some heat! We thought the price to portion/quality was reasonable.

Bibimbap (veganized)
Jeahan O.

Delightful inviting atmosphere right when you walk into this cozy little Korean restaurant! Colorful fun decor with many vegetarian (clearly labeled on the menu) can be made vegan options! Loved this #veganized Bibimbop from TTOBOKKI Korean Restaurant! To make #vegan simply omit the egg and the kimchi! A bed of white rice topped with #kale, sautéed #mushrooms , #onions , #beansprout, #carrot , Korean #pickledradish, supposed to have lettuce (they may have forgotten) and choice of protein (#friedtofu was available). The server offered steamed but that wasn't available. Order your food, have a seat and it's brought to you! It became quite busy shortly after we were served! This dish was absolutely delicious and a perfect portion!! Hubby was picking at it himself! Liked my dish more I guess !! $7.95 without additional toppings Will definitely be back to try other dishes!!

Udon and Chicken Dumplings

The staff was friendly, restaurant was clean and cozy, and the food was good and not too expensive! I ordered the Udon, which was delicious but a little too hot to eat at first. I also ordered the chicken dumplings, which were some of the best dumplings I have ever had in my life! Definitely my new go to; if you're in the area, I would highly recommend checking it out!

Interior
Cici C.

I really want to like this restaurant, but I have some major concerns. Hear me out. First of all, it's located very convenient off of Rt 83, by Starbucks and several health clinics, super accessible location, very nice artistic design, hip and modern, cute and Asian. Love the aesthetics. Ordering food via phone was super easy. Staff spoke English and were very helpful and friendly. They explained patiently what their customization looks like. You order a base (pretty cheap but itself), add your desired topping protein ($~3), so the total of any dish is around $10+. Not as cheap as I thought it would be based on the menu alone, but liked the customization. They also have online ordering which looked very functional and easy to navigate, which I'll hopefully try in the future to test it out... Now it comes to the food... which unfortunately is the most disappointing part! The order was supposedly ready in 25 min, which we arrived right around then to pick up. By the time we got home, which was only 10 min away, the foods were cold/stale (I wonder if it had been sitting out for much longer...). Nothing was even lukewarm, but more like room temperature cold. The bulgogi nacho is super stale, it doesn't crunch like any chip. Portion size is also pretty small compare to how much it ends up costing. What I really liked is that for some dishes they used paper containers, which is supposedly more environmentally friendly! Now onto the taste-- their flavor profile is waaaay too sweet and lacked the depth of typical Korean foods. No umami or sesame oil flavor. Quite honestly, I have not had any fusion Asian food this sweet-- not even Thai food. This comment is not specific to any one dish, but all across the board. * Japchae -- this was good at first but again lacked other flavors other than sweet, so it was a bit hard to finish later on. Otherwise, this was not bad. * Bulgogi Nacho (they provide 3) -- chip was very stale, bulgogi was cold and kind of dry. I really think the foods just had been sitting out for a while, there's no way that's how it would taste if made fresh. * Rose Tteobokki -- very minimal fish cake, lots of overly sweet sauce it was overwhelming after a few bites, they had hotdog meat in it but it was generic western sausage rather than Asian sausage, and even the sausage savory couldn't overcome the sweetness. I did like that they added melted cheese up top. * Bibimbop with bulgogi -- as a stable, I'd expect much more quantity, though it's very neatly packed so I think they prioritize aesthetic to the actual taste/quality. The egg though, this is probably the most disappointing fried egg. It's a very tiny egg and very hard. The top layer looked like sunny side but bottom is all cooked through and the top is very dried and kind of leathery. How? This is another cue I think they didn't make this fresh! Quite disappointed... * Cupbop with spicy pork-- this wasn't really what I expected, it's kind of like a smaller version of Bibimbop. Spicy pork was also pretty cold, hard, and dry. Hmm. But I liked the addition of corn, even though the corn was also kind of dry and hard. They said they have a lot of sauce options and can do on the side, and I said I'd try them all on the side, but when I went to pick up the food, they said they couldn't do on the side so they had already added all the sauces in the bop. Ok, that's fine. But when I actually tried to taste it at home, I can't tell at all what they put in it. :/ again, it was all just sweet and no other prominent flavor profiles. I'm left feeling quite confused and dissatisfied. I really want to like this place since there are not a lot of Korean places up north, and it seems like it's Asian run, and I'd really want to support businesses like this, but I can't help but to feel like this is just a young/hip, possibly overpriced place that focuses more on looks than the actual content. I'm not sure if I would try it again, given how overwhelmingly sweet every dish was. I think I'd be willing to try some of their other stuff if they change up their recipes!

Our kids love this. Haemul kalguksu - Seafood noodle soup. This broth was so nice. Also not spicy. It comes with shrimp, octopus and crab legs. The seafood was cooked so-so, and I think I prefer clams and mussels, but the broth was delicious and like a warm hug. They gave extra soup in a separate container too, which was very thoughtful. Bonus: the braised potato banchan is so good--our kids could eat the whole thing. Definitely worth trying whether you dine in or take it home.

The presentation of the raw meat was theatrical in a way - they came in a platter with dry ice. The amount was also generous. Our wait staff was very attentive.

Our server described it as a type of meal that was served for the royal family and comes with several dishes. Theirs included kimchi pancakes, freshwater eel, smoked salmon, and more. I think the shrimp tempura could be more flavorful, but aside from that, the dishes were thoughtful and so good. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality, and the menu has great variety as well, from KBBQ to bento boxes. The restaurant itself is modern, while the food is cooked traditionally and packed with flavor. I would gladly drive from the city just to eat here again.

Hwang Dae Gham is located in a non-descript strip mall with some closed store fronts, so plenty of parking. My daughter and I were in town and needed to visit in the Northern suburbs, so afterwards decided to have lunch at a place that had meaning for us. Unfortunately, it was closed on Mondays so chose another Korean restaurant. Hwang Dae Gham ended up a great choice. We came soon after it opened, and it was already busy. It is a family owned business, and they obviously take great pride in their food and service. We had a chance to eat a lot of their non-BBQ offerings, and every one of them was excellent. Started with two appetizer portions: mul-mandu (small, bite-size steamed dumplings...supposed to be only pork but I swear I tasted seafood/fish in it...very good...reminded me of eating pelmini in it's size and density); the other was a small portion of japchae which we devoured...usually not a fan of this style of Korean mung-bean noodles, but really enjoyed it. We got two entrees (didn't share for once, so each got what we wanted). I got the squid bibim-bap (mixed rice in a stone bowl)...it's important to look at the pictures, cause it clearly explains the difference between the normal bibim-bap. They basically put a large portion of the squid-bokum, on top of rice...missing the normal cold greens. It was different, and I loved it. It was served with the requisite gochujang sauce, but you don't need it. It's already pre-seasoned. My daughter got the Gamja-Tang (spicy soup with potato and pork neck), and she really enjoyed it....like most Korean hot soups, great for a chilly February Chicago day. All of it comes with side dishes and purple rice. We especially liked the sweet glazed potatoes, picked cucumbers, and sliced mung bean pancake. Service was very warm and consistent throughout. It was just a beautiful opportunity to have a great meal and spend a lot of time with my adult daughter, reminiscing about the past and planning for the future. The entire Hwang Dae Gham environment was very conducive to that. I really wish I had two stomachs so I could sample the other dishes on the menu...all of it looked so good. We ended up bringing home most of the entrees, and it was delicious re-heated. Really inspires me to explore K-Town more when I get home.

Our Combo was $100 and included miso or seaweed soup, rice, banchan and four kinds of meat: marinated bulgogi, short rib, ribeye and brisket. Delicious Delicious. The banchan was tasty tasty. I especially liked the pickled cucumber and the kimchi. Some of the reviews said they were charged extra for refills on the banchan dishes. We were not. What a feast. The server loaded up our grill with brisket and would leave and come back to flip things or turn things although we were pretty capable of doing it ourselves. They very nicely cut our ribeye into bite-sized pieces with the kitchen shears and also snipped up the short rib. The meat was delicious and the banchan and rice soon filled us up. We used the green leafy lettuce to make ssambap. I also liked the sauce with the sesame oil and salt. The bulgogi was last and we had to dig deep to finish it. What I liked was that nothing stuck to the grill and nothing burned either. I've had kbbq before at other places where it was too hot and the meat was burned. Everything was cooked perfectly.

My family and I came to celebrate an early Valentine's Day and treated ourselves to a nice dinner. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We booked ours and were promptly seated at 6:30 PM on a Friday night with no wait. Don't you love when things run smoothly like that? We ordered multiple rounds for our family of 4 using the iPad and through the night, I'd say the foods arrived under or around five minutes. There's a 2-hour dining limit, and we used all of it. The iPad conveniently shows a countdown timer once you're seated, so you know exactly how much time you have left. It's especially helpful toward the end when you're deciding whether to squeeze in one last dessert order. I also really appreciate the transparency of their ordering system. The pricing is clearly displayed on the iPad as you select items, so you always know what you're ordering and whether something is included in the AYCE menu. On one of our other visits, I accidentally tapped an item à la carte that was outside of our AYCE menu and saw the charge immediately on the screen. I notified management right away, and they removed it promptly. This kind of system helps prevent surprise charges at the end of the meal. At the end, they print out a detailed receipt of everything you ordered -- it almost feels like a "trophy receipt." It really reinforces how much food you get for the price and how far your money stretches here. Also note that gratuity was not automatically added (for our party of 4) so we were able to write in our tip. There's a wide variety included in the AYCE menu. That said, on this particular visit they had run out of a few items -- calamari rings, hot and sour soup, house salad, and a couple others. It wasn't a huge disappointment, though I was personally looking forward to the hot and sour soup. I did notice they've added some new appetizers like fried chicken wings. They also offer familiar kid-friendly items such as fries, chicken nuggets, and fried dumplings, which is great for families. Overall, the selection is plentiful -- plenty of beef, chicken, and seafood, more than you can realistically eat. Throughout your meal, staff will offer to change the grill (which is definitely needed after a while since it gets dark and charred). They spray some kind of a protective layer on it - my guess is so the meat doesn't stick. There seem to be two types of grills they rotate between -- one for general meats and one better suited for thinner cuts. My personal favorite is the Hawaiian beef bulgogi with pineapple. I also enjoy the spicy calamari and mini sausages. The garlic shrimp was another standout -- large and very flavorful. You really get your money's worth here. This has become one of our go-to spots for family celebrations. My husband especially loves it -- and that says a lot. We've been to many Korean BBQ places, and this is the only one where he's consistently satisfied with the meat quality, marinades, and sauces. He's very particular about flavor profiles, so that's high praise. The table height is also ergonomically comfortable, which really matters when you're cooking and eating for so long. The tables themselves are large and spacious, making it easy to hold the numerous small plates that come with all the different ingredients. We enjoy the ambiance here as it's trendy and well kept. Service is attentive -- staff clear plates promptly, offer grill changes, and are easy to reach when needed. You can also request assistance directly from the iPad which makes things seamless. It was cool to see they still have claw machines in the waiting area, which is a fun bonus for families. On our way out, they also had toothpicks and candy available. Small touches like that are appreciated. This visit was interesting because they had someone walking around offering complimentary printed photos with a Tomahawk-themed template. Additional prints with a frame were available for purchase ($20). Lastly, I wrote in my review a year ago and suggested a loyalty dining program. Since then, we have dined here a few more times but I haven't heard anything yet on this visit. We would still love for them to launch something! :)

First time visiting Kum Kong San. We got there right when it opened. Plenty of parking in the lot…read more Service was very friendly and quick. We ordered the seafood pancake, B5 (Marinated beef short ribs with soy garlic sauce) B11 (Fresh cut pork belly) and E2 (Stir fried marinated spicy pork meal with rice, soup and side dishes) I love their side dishes. Especially the seaweed dish. The seafood pancake was pan fried to crispy. Lots of scallions which I love. There are no bell peppers in there (in case you don't like peppers like me. I've had some where they have that and it's just yuck haha). The pork and beef was very fresh. The beef short rib wasn't overly salty at all and had a good flavor to it. I would recommend getting both meat dishes. If this is your first time trying Korean bbq, I would recommend ordering what I got. You won't be disappointed. The spicy pork meal on a hot plate was also delicious! It has a little spicy kick to it. But not where you are uncomfortable if you don't like spicy foods. And definitely order yourself a bowl of rice! Can't forget about rice! It is extra charge tho. One thing I do like about this place is the vent. It sucks all the smell out. I left the restaurant without smelling like I rolled into a pile of meat. Some Korean BBQ places get very smokey and their vents seems to not work so well and leave you smelling like food afterwards.

I recently discovered and tried a few take-out orders from Kum Kang San Korean BBQ. For the…read moretake-out, I tried the pan-fried mackerel, pork backbone spicy stew with potatoes and vegetables, and spicy stir-fried squid with noodles. I checked out the restaurant with friends on a Thursday around 4:15 PM. There are a lot of parking spaces outside, and the inside is also very spacious and clean. I wanted to try their Korean BBQ, but we were told the grilling area was chilly, so we opted out for a non-grilling meal. I got the classic kimchi spicy soup with pork, vegetables, and tofu. The meal was delicious and flavorful! Their side dishes were all so tasty! I could eat the side dishes with rice. My friends also all enjoyed the dish they ordered. The server was also very attentive. She was honestly the best. I wish I got her name! Some of their dishes are on the pricy side, but we live in America. Overall, we had a great time, and I would love to return to try their Korean BBQ.
