At the suggestion of some friends, we came here for double date night. Everything was easy, quick, and yummy. I had the chicken katsu - huge, satisfying portion, and kimchi fries - pretty tasty! Too bad we weren't there earlier to try the philly cheesesteak eggrolls! read more

I've driven by this place many times so decided to try it. The service was fine, but the burger was not good at all. No flavor, meat undercooked and who the heck puts spring mix lettuce on burgers, well Bobngrill does. Definitely have had fast food burgers better than what we had here. The fries, however, were very good. I don't know about the taste or quality of the other menu items but this experience is enough for me to say I won't be returning. read more

WRITTEN BY THE HUBBIE, pretending to be me haha Yesterday with the beautiful weather I decided to make a trip to the Roger's Park area to try out Bop N Grill...and it was amazing. I have heard tons of great things about the restaurant so I went with very high expectations, my husband was a little worried that I would be disappointed because of all the great things I've already hear about the restaurant but as soon as I had a bite of the "Kimchee Fries" all expectations were exceeded! My Husband and I got the Kimchee burger, Unami Burger, Kimchee fries and Bi Bim Bop-yes there was just the two of us. Every single one of the dishes had their own unique flavor and absolutely delicious. My husband being Korean expects a lot from his kimchee and he enjoyed every bite of his burger...basically I only got two bites of his burger (which was perfectly spicy and flavorful especially with the exploding and perfectly fried egg) because he ate the whole thing in like 2 minutes and these are not small burgers. The Unami burger was rich and delicious...the combination of mushrooms and cheese were perfect. The Bi Bim Bop was huge, so flavorful and refreshing at the same time. Even after the burgers we couldn't stop eating the huge bowl of Bi Bim Bop because it was soo good. The thing I like most about the Bim Bim Bops at Bop N Grill is that you can choose different meats and they don't skimp on the meat! We got ours with marinated chicken and combined with the fresh vegetables we didn't feel guilty at all for eating our third dish =). I'm going to start a completely new paragraph for the Kimchee fries alone...because they were just that good. My husband and I have had Kimchee fries from other restaurants in Chicago but Bop N Grill's version is the best. The restaurant owner Will does them right because he keeps the fries crispy even though you have cheese and Kimchee on it. That is not an easy thing to do, caramelized kimchee can make anything soggy but not these fries! The Kimchee is not over bearing where you can't taste the cheese so the combination is amazing. YOU MUST GET FRIES when you are here. My husband told his brother about the food already so we are planning a trip back soon! read more

I really like this place. Came here for the first time and loved it and now I have to go at least once a week. I've had the kimchi tofu which was amazing. The tofu was perfectly cooked on a bed of rice topped with some delicious kimchi. The portion is big so you will definitely leave full. I've also had the BnG burger which was also delicious. Most recently I tried the shrimp katsu. Everything on the menu looks good and I cannot wait for my next visit. read more

We got the philly cheese egg rolls, Father burger, bleu cheese burger, and the kimchi fries... everything was fantastic. Both of the burgers surpassed our expectation. Definitely ranked in the top 3 burgers that I have had in Chicago. They rivaled Kuma's and The Lockdown. Kimchi fries scared me at first, but I am glad I tried them because they were amazing! I will definitely be craving those egg rolls for the rest of my life... If you have not been here... go here. Now. Hi Joe! read more

See all

man some really salty food. like really really salty that you dont even taste anything else after the first bite because your tongue is in pain. read more

Oh, man. This is excellent stuff. But why so expensive? This place seems like it should be an under-$10 trip...but it rarely ever is.

Bop N Grill is one of my favorite places and although I am giving it 4 stars the reason why it isn't getting 5 is because I had one of their hamburgers last night and it was disappointing to say the least. It was dry, tasteless, and the bun seemed stale and instead of hand cut fries they have those fries that have the coating on it...dont like those. I would stick with the rice plates, dont do the hamburgers. read more

I actually moved to Rogers Park because of Bop 'n Grill. Not really. But when I found a condo nearby, I was excited to be so close to one of my favorite joints. I see a lot of people raving about the kimchee burger - and it is very good - but the Umami is the bomb (truffled mushroom duxelle, sun-dried tomato confit, togarashi mayo, bacon and smoked gouda). Favorite dish is the Bul Dak, but the Bulgogi is goo, too. Kimchee fries? Check. It's a little pricey, but the place is busy so the demand would seem to justify it. read more

Really good food. Never had kimchi before but really enjoyed the burgers and fries. A lot of open seating available, and the service is pretty quick (much faster than the 5 guys down the street). read more

Stopped in for the first time a couple days ago and was thrilled by the menu and excited for an order of bi bim bop to go. Then proceeded to wait 40 minutes for my order. It was busy, but not THAT busy. And the food was good, but not 40 minutes of waiting good. I could clearly see into the kitchen from where I waited, and was genuinely puzzled by the slow pace of the order preparation. It would have been nice if the cashier could have given me some warning on that, since i did tell her it was my first time in the restaurant and then asked for an order to go. Unless you have a lot of time to kill, I don't recommend this place. read more

American fast-food style serving Korean food. The food was great, well-balanced with side dishes (kimchi or salad) depending on what you order. It's a small walk from LUC which is a bonus and a go to place for students. It's pretty fast paced, but great place for socializing or catching up with friends or treating yourself with warm food after hells week. I had bulgoki and my friend had bibimbap. Trust me, what we had filled us to the brim and satisfied our craving for something korean at a decent, cheap price. read more

Interesting place and food. Place was full but I still waited 40 minutes for my food. Then they got the order wrong, then they had an issue with the POS or pricing system and I got overcharged for a combo. I pointed it out and I was eventually given a credit for the mistake but I needed to fully explain before they understood. My friend got his order wrong in that they forgot his egg. I asked for sauce for the onion rings, barbeque sauce to be exact and they wanted to charge me 55 cents despite me complaining that I waited so long. The manager eventually had to tell them I could get it for free. And then the sauce cup was half the size of a regular to go sauce cup so 55 cents is inadequate and crazy! The worst part is that the food is over priced. It is ridiculously expensive and the only reason I went was out of curiosity. I won't be back for a while until they speed up service and deliver better value for the dollar. I do not believe how nearly every review here is 5 stars and they have a 4 star rating. My review is the honest truth. I can't believe nobody complained about the service or was outraged by the price. This place isn't worth it although their product is unique. They get a star because the food was tasty! If it were not tasty, zero if I could. read more

Somehow I don't get it... There's nothing "bad" about this place but it just isn't all that special. If you're near it and need to eat right at that moment, go. But if you can wait 5 minutes, you can find other spots much more interesting within a very short walking distance. read more

removing the kimchi tofu from the menu and replacing it with two aggressively mediocre tofu dishes that look and taste like something my vegan ex used to make gets you zero stars. This was a very foolish move. read more

I live on Sheridan and had yet to try this place so I went in today. Upon entering the lighting is pretty low, but there's people inside so that's a good sign. The menu above the register didn't have any descriptions and so I was a bit confused as to what each contained, but later found a descriptive menu on the counter. I ended up ordering the Umami burger, and it was pretty good not gonna lie. Also ended up ordering the plain fries, and yuck! They were not good. I'd probably be adventurous and try something else next time I come. read more

First burger I ordered was burnt ... I ordered another one and it tastes amazing ..I don't know what happened to the first one.. French fries was smothered with cheese it was sooo good tooo!! read more

This place is killer, I saw the prices and wasn't sure but they give more then what you pay for, with the quantity and the amazing flavor.

Wow!!! Some good a$$ food!!! Me and my friend shared the kimchi fries, bbq chicken plate, and the umami burger!!! Been going to the Chipotle next door for the past six months and never gave this joint a second glance because of their lame front...it's pretty bland not inviting (that's my two cent for improvement). Definitely can't wait for the semester to start again to come back to eat! :) read more

Always delicious...never disappoints... we live nearby and it's such high quality that even chipotle and bulldog ale house can't compete

We ended up here after I saw a picture of a burger on instagram. We went Saturday around 6ish and the place was relatively busy, the husband ordered the Umami burger and he was very pleased, he said it was flavorful and was satisfied. I ordered the Chicken katsu, the chicken was very crispy and overall it had a good taste, however next time I go I'll stick to the burgers, the chicken was not anything special and not worth the $9. We shared an order of bacon cheese fries and the fries alone were perfect, we also had a philly cheese steak eggroll, OMG was it delicious. Overall the food gets a 4 (chicken 3 and burger 5), service 4. I'll definitely be back to try their burgers. read more

I love this place!!! I had the Umami burger and kimchi fries...both were to die for. The other people in my party had the Kimchi Burger and Bulgogi, they loved their food as well. The burger is the best burger I have ever eaten! I am so glad we discovered this place, I can't wait to go back! read more

Korean fusion fast food that's deliciously yummy. Service is quick and very pleasant!

Enjoy the Kimchi fries I would recommend all who visit enjoy the fries. Had the Bulkogi and the Chicken Katsu and enjoyed the great full taste. The restaurant is a good place for the cure for a bad hangover. After you have eaten you might want to consider popping a few cholesterol reducing medication. I look forward to my next hangover. read more

Everything on this menu slaps! From the Bulkogi, fire chicken with rice,salad and kimchi to the BnG burger. I've been eating here for about 5 years. read more

Ok, maybe I was a bit harsh with my last review. I decided to give this place a second chance, mostly because the dining halls were closed and I happened to be walking by, starving. At any rate, I followed the advice of many fellow Yelp-ers (is that a term?) and ordered one of their famous signature burgers. The umami burger caught my eye immediately, although it was among a menu of insanely creative and unique options that you just won't find anywhere else. It was a bit pricy, after tax I paid nearly $10 for the burger alone. The toppings looked super unappealing at first, kind of like a black pesto. However, the flavors were strong and *POW* (for lack of an accurate adjective). The flavors, while good, hit one note, and I would have liked layers. Maybe the sun-dried tomatoes could have been tangier or something...I don't know. Overall, pretty good but I expected more. read more

Don't believe the hype. Place is decent, nothing special at all. Got the egg roll, bacon fries, and fire chicken. Egg role just ok. Bacon fries were average. Fire chicken forgettable. All hype no bite! read more

Came here with a friend and a big expectation (hunger is a great expectation). Kimchi fries was da bomb; it actually had home made kimchi fried to the perfection heaped on a bed of hot fries. Kimchi burger was good too, although next time I'd skip the egg and just ask for more kimchi on the patty. I'd love to try their bop next time, keep up the great work! read more

Man I LOVE this place. Kimchi burger, Umami burger, and the kimchi fries are my favorite! All of the rice bowls, bibimbap, and especially the tonkatsu. I'm getting hungry while writing this! I wish they'd open another location closer to downtown, definitely one of the best burgers I've ever had. read more

Don't believe the hype. The only thing I liked were the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls. I tried the Kimchi fries and their most popular burger and neither was that great, and it certainly wasn't worth the almost 45 minute wait. read more

Came here with my friend for dinner. The menu isn't too creative, and for being a 'korean' restaurant, it isn't very authentic in the least. It's fast food, more nuanced, westernized Korean food. I went for the chicken katsu plate; wasn't anything special. Rice was bland as there was no real sauce, and the chicken was just placed on top of the rice. Kimchi was served and was okay. If you're on N Sheridan Rd and are looking for a place to eat, i would much rather recommend Chipotle which is right next door or Bulldog. read more

I got a regular burger, and it was juicy! The fries were great as well. The next time I go back, I must try their specialty burgers, which really look interesting. The staff was very friendly. I didn't know they had a location in Evanston. I am very glad they now have a location in Rogers Park. read more

I prefer it over 5 guys because they have a better selection of sides and their fries are to die for!! I can't even compare the fries to 5 guys because they are not on the same level. If you are looking for an ordinary cheeseburger, I could understand why you would want to go to 5 guys because when it comes to ordinary burgers they do it best. If you want a specialty burger like the bNg, pizza burger, or 5 cheese with truffle, then this place is awesome. They offer other asian foods as well. Expect to spend about 9-11 bucks for a meal. It is worth a try. They were on diners, drive-ins, and dives!!! read more

Umami burger: I didn't like this much at all. For the price, it was bland and somewhat boring. Tried the kimchi fries and hated it. Just not feeling the kimchi with fries. Fairly expensive. The place was also dirty. Floors were messy and table not clean. Very friendly and helpful staff though. I might try again. Not sure. read more

I had a bad experience with this place via postmates. Food was dry and not the quality of Korean food Im used to from other places up North. It was also more expensive than it should have been considering the quality. read more

This is one of my favorite places. I love places that are different and offer great variety and this is one of the best examples I have found. The bulkogi is spectacular. The bi bim bop is really good. The burgers are definitely different and oh so yummy. I loved the kimchi burger and the umami. However, I must admit that my wife was a bit disappointed in the umami burger. The kimchi fries are great and in general, I look forward to trying more. It's a great place for the adventurous. read more

Had the worst experience at this place. The Bavarian burger is just a rip off of the Wendy's bacon cheese burger made with a frozen Jewel patti. The grease that poured out of my burger was also disgusting. The fries were undercook. I don't know what the redeye was talking about when they said I can get a $7 feast out of here. Ended up paying over $12 dollars for my food!!! I should of just gone next door to chipotle, it has more flavor!!! read more

Is it just me or did they really decrease their platter portion substantially!? Few months ago I used to order a platter for around $12 and the price was fair. Now I pay the same amount for 2/3 the previous portion. I believe their manager forces them to count the tiny pieces of meat they put for a customer. I hate it when restaurant owners become greedy and start these silly tricks. You lost a loyal customer. read more

OVERRATED!!!! Me and my boyfriend went based on the Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives episode. Grease upon grease. We went at 1 pm, and belched ourselves to sleep. The Umami burger was way to salty, the kimchi fries were gross, and the Philly steak egg roles were greasy. I will not be going back. In fact, I'm still belching as I type this, 9 hours later. Yuck! read more

Saw Bop N Grill on DDD and it looked amazing. Much to my surprise.... what we saw on TV and what we got in the basket was much different. This is a fast food joint. It took 20 minutes to get 2 orders of fries, one burger and 2 bottles of water which was $27.00. It was a Saturday afternoon around 3pm. The joint was not busy. The burger was all bread. "Where's the Beef" was my first question? The fries were coated with sub-par cheese whiz.... something!!! UGH! Don't go .....!!! read more
