Was in Chicago for only one day and my go-to Korean BBQ place is closed on Tuesday, so we thought I would give this place a try. It is a little quant place with cute decor. We were the only ones there when we arrived, as it was early for dinner.
We ordered 2 orders of the GalBi and an order of the Spicy Rice Cake. The GalBi was very tender and flavorful, and highly recommended. My guest said the Spicy Rice Cake was very authentic, I thought it was pretty good; with egg, cabbage, and few other ingredients.
All of the side dishes you get when ordering the BBQ we're also very good, with a nice variety. I do wish they had a little bit more of a selection of meats, possibly squid or shrimp.
The waitress was very polite and helpful, but maybe a little too helpful. She continued to help us cook the meat on the grill, but at a much faster pace than what we were wanting to eat at. We like to take our time and enjoy the food and the experience, it just felt like she was rushing us.
Interactive food at its greatest. Grill in the table sigh charcoal they bring once the order is placed.
Delicious banchan (Korean side dishes) accompanied by prompt and helpful service.
Galbi was the star of the meal.
The marinated kalbi is amazing. I think it makes all the difference that it is cooked on a charcoal grill in front of you. Staff is very kind and helpful, especially when we wanted to try something outside our usual. Always coming back here, its quiet and clean. Try the raspberry wine, that was tasty, very light.
Had a great lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful. Explained options as it was my first visit. Good sized portions with good flavor. Limited seating but not a problem the day I was there.
A little bit pricier than some of the other comparable korean restaurants, but the taste and the quality is well worth it. Not too salty, nor bland. Service is top notch and parking in the back for extra convenience! Definitely will be back when craving good soup
