They have a lot of vegan/vegetarian options too and they even have Karaoke/DJ nights on the weekends. Today I got the 5 Spice Fries and the Veggie Lanzhou Soup. The fries were hot and fresh, they smelled amazing! I like the spice on them and the dipping sauce was okay! (Im not a huge mayo girl) The soup was piping hot and I really liked all the veggies. The servers are nice and the food service is pretty quick. Overall everything was a 9.6/10 today. See you next time Koi! :)

The decor was a cool mix of minimalist and Asian-inspired touches that made it feel unique. They also had a sign for open-mic karaoke nights, which I thought was pretty fun! We started with the crispy pork belly, which was good and something I'd definitely order again. For our mains, got the brisket noodle soup and the yin & yang sesame noodles. I enjoyed my soup, but the yin & yang noodles were definitely different from what I was expecting. The flavors weren't quite as traditional as I'd imagined, but I could appreciate the unique twist they put on things. Service was good, and we got seated right away. Portions were decent, and prices were pretty typical for the West Loop. I'd recommend checking it out for a casual date night or hanging out with friends.

Kari's Rating 8/10…read more This is my only place I ever come to for soup dumplings in Chinatown. We wanted to order a few different things so we also were able to order the orange chicken, the Korean barbecue short rib ribs, and of course the pork and shrimp dumplings. The first batch of soup dumplings were broken and I asked politely if they could redo the order as all of the soup was underneath the plate through the steamer. Our server was incredibly nice about it, and they took full responsibility as they prepared us a fresh batch. I really appreciate the extra time they took to remake them as 6/8 were broken. I've not ordered the orange chicken before, and it was a little too orangey. If you can imagine like it almost tasted like a thick orange juice syrup, but the chicken was relatively crispy and the portion sizes were pretty large. It also came with a side of rice, which was plenty for the both of us. The Korean short ribs were also really good and were also relatively plentiful, but a few pieces were very chewy and a little bit grizzly so that made it difficult to swallow. They were very full of flavor, but I think the texture was just a little bit rubbery. Overall, again, I think this is a really good place to go to for soup dumplings, and the rest of the food is over overall kind of meh. But I didn't mind it because I've been coming here for years and I try to be a loyal customer.

I mosey into Belly Bowl and see that it isn't necessarily a Chinese spot, but an Asian eatery encompassing Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese and Korean cuisine, plus delicious Asian beverages. I chose the Mongolian Beef rice bowl and it came out pretty quickly. I've eaten a lot of Mongolian Beef in my day and this ranks as one of the best. My bowl was filled with a generous portions of tender, flavorful beef with lots of broccoli and rice, very much in proportion to each other. I hate half the bowl at the establishment and packed up the rest to enjoy later. This meal was very filling and a half portion held me over until I got home 8plus hours later. It was a great midnight snack and SO delicious, I stopped again a few days later to order another one. Really, each day I go to work, I have to force myself to not make a pit stop to grab an order because actually I get free food at work and it would be fiscally irresponsible to get it as often as I want. But trust me, Belly Bowl will see me at least 3-4, maybe 5-6, ok eff it, maybe 10 times a month!!! It's great!!!

This is probably my 3rd visit to 82 Kimbap and it is incredible to see how far they've gone! I…read morevisited when they were first starting off, and it is always a pleasure to see ongoing improvements. The staff have always been nice, and getting the food has been quick! It is a grab and go, so expect to only wait for ordering. I love how clean and natural their food stall looks. The whole concept makes ordering and grabbing food so easy. My favorite Kimbap would have to be the Spicy Pork! I love pairing it with the Gochujang Mayo sauce. My partner loves the Beef Bulgogi, so it is very nice that 82 Kimbap has a variety to choose from. We tried the Yuzu Aioli sauce before, but it doesn't have as much of a punch as the Gochujang Mayo. The Korean Pear-Apple juice was so refreshing. We added it as a combo with the Beef Bulgogi for an additional $3 instead of $4. It is similar to apple juice, but less sweet and more on the lighter side. It was delicious for a hot summer day. Price-wise, it is more expensive grabbing it here than at a typical Korean grocery store. However, I get the hustle, and to be competitive with the other businesses in Sterling Food Hall, it only makes sense. Plus, the sauces and purple rice make the Kimbaps more unique. Definitely a favorite food spot for Sterling Food Hall. Expect to see me here during my lunch breaks!

Out of the ones we tried, I actually preferred the tofu over the spicy pork. The tofu was incredibly smooth and soft. It blended really well with the vegetables and rice which created a balanced bite where every ingredient stood out. The spicy pork was good too, but preference wise I liked the tofu more. They provide a few sauces on the side which were gochujang mayo, yuja aioli, and perilla vinaigrette. The sauces were decent, but I honestly enjoyed the kimbap more without them. The fillings were flavorful enough on their own, and skipping the sauce allowed me to taste the individual ingredients and textures much better. I'd definitely come back earlier in the day to try some of the varieties that had already sold out, especially the bulgogi kimbap since that seems to be one of their more popular options. I do have a feeling I'd still end up ordering the tofu again because it was surprisingly my favorite. In general, I've found that I tend to enjoy veggie kimbaps more than versions with meat. The fresh vegetables add a nice crunch and balance, making each bite feel lighter and more satisfying. Overall, even with the limited selection available when we arrived, I thought the kimbap was fresh, well-made, and flavorful enough to make me want to return and try more of the menu.
