“I saw so many low star reviews that I was worried to try this place but it is close to my house and I was meeting up with friends and there were a lot of good reviews too, so we decided to try it. I’m not sure if those other people with the low reviews were writing it for the right restaurant because we had an absolutely lovely meal and the service was outstanding. This was only my second time trying kbbq. We did the unlimited and we left with full, happy bellies. We had the brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, joomooluk (?!?), spicy pork and the pork bulgogi along with mixed veggies, lots of garlic, lettuce and rice and it was all fantastic (minus the pork for me but I don’t ever like pork). I told that ladies as soon as they came to our table that it was my first time there and I only had kbbq once before and they were very attentive to us and helped us more than once. I never had an experience where they pressured us into giving them more tip. We got a pitcher of blue Hawaiian also which was yummy. Please go! I love supporting small business and this is one that I’d love to see thrive ❣️ I don’t usually write reviews but would hate to see someone pass this place up due to the lower reviews I saw.“
“Hidden gem that’s mostly take out, but they have few tables for dine in. I got the spicy squid stir fry to eat in and ordered kangpunggi to go.Squid was good, however the portion size was on the smaller side… definitely could consumed two orders. Seasoned well and had a kick to it. The kangpunggi was good as well, perfectly fried but lacked the sourness that I was expecting. Overall good experience on first visit.“

“Friendly staffs, Cozy and comfortable restaurant for family, couples, groups. Hot tea and water were offered once we seated Refreshing banchan were offered before our foods arrived, it doesn’t take long for our foods arrive. Crispy fried dumplings were good. Beef Raman noodles were not over cooked, The broth flavor was mild, but good. Beef bugogi was flavorful with rice on the side. Kimchee soup comes with noodles on the bottom side hot stone steamed rice along with the order. We all enjoyed our dishes. We get there right when they open. The place fills up quickly. Highly recommended.“

“We ordered chicken noodle soup, letting the waiter know that we were going to share. They thoughtfully split our order into two bowls and even gave us a little extra. The chicken noodle soup was delicious! The noodles were cooked perfectly, not too hard and not too soft. The broth was comforting, and the chicken and ingredients tasted fresh. It really was the best chicken noodle soup I've ever tried. The service was great too. We'll definitely be back again.“
“This place is NUMBER ONE! Came to Illinois for a convention, was recommended this place by a few friends and holy cow, I'm not gonna be able to eat chicken from anywhere else for awhile! Their chicken is the literally best I ever had. Loved it so much, I made sure to get take out on my drive back home, 2x in 3 days, and I would have gone a third time had I not made prior plans! Do yourself a favor and TRY THIS CHICKEN!“
“I'm was surprised to find a Korean-style chicken place around here but so so happy. They expanded their menu too and if you haven't had CupBop yet, give it a shot! It's got a little of everything. Of course, if you come in and get their fried chicken every time, I think you'll be very happy all the same.And my girlfriend says that me introducing her to Korean Corndogs changed her life.“
“This place was so good it was a little pricey but I understand why. The food and service was very good and it seemed very clean in there. I didn't expect for the ramen one to be so good but it was the best. Even the next day I heated it up in the microwave and it still tasted amazing.“
“I love this place so much. The lady who runs the place is super nice and prices are very reasonable. Compared to some of the other waits for restaurants at Mitsuwa Mama House is one of the quickest to get food from. There is almost always no line and you can get your food within 5 minutes. I normally get the Beef Bulgogi and it is always flavorful and a big portion. I definitely recommend if you are looking to come to Mitsuwa to grab a relatively cheap and quick bite.“
“My family and I love coming here! Kid friendly, super clean here and we are always greeted sweetly by the owners and staff and they are so accommodating! One of our go to restaurants. We are always craving their food since there are a lot of tasty options~Few of our top favs!Honey garlic and gangjeong have been the top flavors fried chicken for us, perfect amount of spice and flavor and the chicken is nice and crunchy on the outsideTheir boneless options are good too pleasantly juicy on the inside with a nice crispy texturerose ddeok-bokki- the rice cakes perfectly cooked not too chewy not too hardperfectt texture and the flavors are so delicious. If you don’t have a high spice tolerance this can be a good alternative for you instead of regular ddeok-bokkiKimchi fried rice- delicious can’t go wrong ordering this dish here!We like to order fries and pickled radish with our chicken and it’s byob as well so you can enjoy a nice cold beer all together best combo!! (chi-maek) ❤️“
“Stopped in for a late dinner, good service and we were attended quickly. We had the boneless wings since they were out of the whole chicken and bone in wings. We tried soy garlic & spicy galbi and they were tasty! They were both crispy and good flavors.Food was great, only complaint is the restaurant was uncomfortably hot. My girlfriend and I decided to take the food home since it was so warm inside.“
“?? ? ???????? ?????, ??’? ??????!After deciding to grab a quick meal in the area, my partner and I were promptly seated and served.(1) Taste(1.75/2.5): While sundubu jjigae is a Korean staple, ours lacked depth, and the seafood tasted overly fishy. However, the mixed tofu soup was a redeeming factor.(2) Ambiance(2/2.5): The atmosphere was lively and somewhat comfortable, but the seating and decor were not a good arrangement . Despite this, the restaurant appeared clean and well-maintained.(3) Service (2.5/2.5) The staff was attentive and responsive to our needs.(4) Price (1.75/2.5)“
“Went here with my boyfriend a few weeks back, definitely recommend fried rice and the Korean chicken wings!!Honestly think this place is more for young adults since they play more American r&b and pop music rather than Korean music.Tried their takoyaki and it was kinda hard, and the spicy wings were a bit dry, but overall good place to go with friends“
“We discovered this place tonight after reading Google reviews. It’s the best Korean BBQ I’ve had in years. The kimchi and Galbi were personal favorites. Our waitress was so attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had an amazing experience and will be back soon!“
“Any time you walk into an ethnic restaurant and hear their language as the dominant sound of the dining room, take notice. This traditional self-serve counter Korean restaurant in a strip mall hides amazingly flavorful food. It is a one person operation, like many Asian food stalls, but he manages to keep it moving so you don't feel like you waited forever, and the dining room is a pleasant place with tea available for free. Every tray is completed with a salad, soup, and pickled kimchi vegetable, usually diakon. This mix, along with your entre, gives you those flavor and texture elements that make a great meal.“
