What a wonderful spot! Not only was the food fresh and delicious, but the place is full of baseball memorabilia, signed baseballs, and tons of photos of Asian baseball players past and present. I can’t wait to go back and grill my own meats again.

We ordered kalbi, beef loin and tongue. All of them were so tender and juicy. Price is reasonable for the quality. Service was great! A waiter often came to check our table.

Drove from downtown after seeing the reviews for this restaurant and they are spot on. Such amazing food and service. Highly recommend going here vs the downtown chains. Hope to go back soon. Don’t miss the jumuroku (sesame marinated steak), the banchan, or the Japanese sundae. Delicious!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Went for the first time on Friday night. Very welcoming from the moment you walk in. The tables are semi private with walls and your own vent hood.

I love this place dearly. They only take reservations over the phone, but it is so worth it. Great place to dine with family or just with your significant other. I love to come here for special occasions. No outside food allowed, so you cant bring a cake with you, but their ice cream is so tasty it’s really no issue. They will be going on vacation for several weeks which I fully support. It’s nice seeing businesses take a much needed and deserved break. The owners are so sweet and welcoming. A gem in such a large city. For food, I recommend the prime rib, jo-tongue, and kalbi beef. We got a side of veggies with some goyza and chicken wings. So yummy. For myself and my partner, we paid $135 plus tip. On the pricer side for dinner, but trust me, worth every cent. I also love that they are baseball fans!

My wife and I got to Chicago Kalbi early on Friday, a few minutes after opening. I did not know you could make a reservation by phone, still, we got a seat shortly after arriving. The first thing I noticed was the countless pictures and autographed sports memorabilia proudly displayed throughout the restaurant. As a fan of the Bulls, it was captivating to see so much history and familiar names, such as Steve Kerr and Luc Longley. Cubs fans will appreciate it tenfold as there were even more Cubs players gracing their walls. I knew I was in for a treat.

Always make a reservation or you will end up waiting an undetermined amount of time. The food itself is very fresh but the marinades on the meat are a bit weak/bland. Good initial service but then they disappear and it’s hard to see them again (this happened on two separate occasions).

Great place for Korean BBQ. The food is good but a bit on the expensive side. Like many Korean restaurants, side dishes comes with your meal. Friendly service. Alcohol is served here.

My first Korean BBQ and it was fun and delicious. This place is quaint and cozy. The service is great and you feel like you are sitting in your own dining room or kitchen. I loved it and so will you.

Love the service and the food was great. We got the combo set of Barbeque and it came with all these amazing small portions of food. Good enough for 2 people. And comes with a little scoop of matcha ice cream at the end. Tasted so good. We did not realize how popular this place was till we went in and were made to wait 20mins to get a table, and there were more people coming in constantly.
