    My first time at Claypot and it definitely will not be my last. Their soup is super hearty, delicious and comes in a bigger pot than expected. The taste is clean. Perfect go to spot for yummy soup especially when you are feeling soupy or need a pick me up when you are not feeling too good. #5 wang galbitang is a classic soup that comes with massive beef ribs that are tender. #7 soondubu were okay to me. It is a lighter and cleaner version compared to SGD. This will be one of my soup spots in the future. Their service is friendly and the food came out hot!

    1. Woogeoji Wang Galbitang 우거지 왕갈비탕 - Spicy Woogeoji Mixture w/ Ribs 2. Special Yangji Seolleongtang - Yangji w/ a Double Portion of Meat 3. Black Goat Soup 흑염소탕 - Braised Goat with Perilla Leaves, Perilla Seed Powder, Chives, Woogeoji 4. Woogeoji Seolleongtang 우거지 설렁탕 - Spicy Ox Bone Broth with Brisket, Shank, and Napa Greens Great broth flavor across the different kinds we got^. The non spicy seolleongtang is the most mild and black goat soup has the strongest flavor profile; all good and up to you what you're craving. Spicy soups need to be spicier. My ribs were tender and fall off the bone. If you have a big stomach, this isn't the most satiating Korean dish for the price but at least it's perfectly executed. Service was good. Good amount of seating inside.

    super super friendly service, a great little spot in what i heard is the koreatown of chicago. now that it's gotten colder, Seolleongtang was the perfect dish to indulge in. the broth was super tasty and hearty! the woogeoji wang galbitang was also delicious! and was absolutely overflowing with meaty bones, we even had leftover to take home. a highlight of our meal was the squid cakes! we got this as an app and it was so yummy and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, filled with yummy squid flavor. i've had other korean pancakes but this was different in its little dense cake form and was a great addition to the seollangtang.

    Had a great meal here on a weekend evening. The place was not busy when we first arrived but as the evening went on more tables did fill up. The menu specializes in seolleongtong. We ordereda modeum seolleongtong, Wang galbitang and a beef bulgogi hot pot. Each order comes with a bowl of rice and side dishes to share at the table- kimchi, radish and onions/jalapeno. The soups were all really good. For the seolleongtong you have to add some salt to the dish that is left table side. The wang galbitang- you get 3 large beef ribs and there is plenty of meat on them. The bulgogi hot pot was nice too with lots of different stuff in the pot. The service is great with the staff very attentive. And at the end of your meal you are given a small probiotic drink.

    This spot is a real hidden treasure! We dropped by one night when we were out late in the burbs (they close at 11pm). Wasn't really expecting much, but was very pleasantly surprised. The food was spectacular and quite authentic, I have been to Korea many times and the dishes here were superb in comparison. The service was fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. They also have a nice Korean beer and soju selection. Highly recommend!

    I haven't been to Claypot in years. I didn't love it back then when they opened (thought the soup was mid and overpriced), so I just never went back. I recently went again with my friends who are regulars and had a very pleasant time. We ordered tteok galbi, squid cake, two ttukgejang (spicy beef broth), and modeum suyuk with extra tendon, plus Korean beer and soju. My friends always say the food here is perfect with drinks, and I get it now. The broth is refreshing and makes it so easy to drink with your meal. Everything was solid, but my favorite was the ttukgejang. Deep flavor, fresh ingredients, and the kimchi + kkakdugi sides were SO GOOD. When a Korean spot has good sides, you can assume the mains are gonna be good too. The tendon in the suyuk was great and super tender, but I personally like mine a little chewier. Both appetizers were tasty. I still need to go back and try their ox bone soup since that's what they're known for. Service was awesome, and they even gave us fried dumplings on the house (my friend's a regular and it was her birthday). Perfect spot for a chilly day. Definitely going back for the ox bone soup and the giant beef rib broth with ribs!

    Cute home style Korean soup restaurant! I wanted to try their ox bone soup but my bf wanted the giant beef ribs so we ended up getting the Galbi tang. The meat was so soft and good amount of flavor. I used the scissors to cut the meat into small pieces in the soup. I wish there was more veggies in the soup. The ox bone soup had an option with Napa but not the beef rib soup. The bossam was really good! The meat wasn't too fatty. The raw oyster was fresh and tangy. I used the scissors to cut them smaller. Could use more raw garlic slices. The samjang was tasty. I wish they included lettuce for wraps. Overall the meats were great. Flavors are solid. Could use more veggies. Maybe I need to get them a la cart. Would love to come back for the ox bone soup. The banchan is radish cubes, kimchi and soy sauce jalapeños. I would have preferred cucumber or bean sprouts over Jalapeños but the radish and kimichi were good. They're generous with refills.

    I immediately came here when I knew winter was coming. It was super cold and rainy on the day I came which means soup season is finally here. I ordered my usual beef ribs soup, and this place never disappoints me. I love it when they give scissors to make it easier to cut the meat off the bones. I love it that the soup is so simple yet so flavorful. I took my friends here and they loved it a lot. My friend said that she's going to add this to her to go to soup place list because it's just so good. The service is always very top notch here and they're always checking up on you to make sure everything is OK. The place is very spacious and they have seats for all types of groups whether you're going in pairs or party of 10. My partner got his usual beef, Bulgogi hot pot and he loves it because it's more on the sweeter side than savory. I can't wait to come back more often as we actually enter winter in Chicago.

    Claypot really hit the spot! The restaurant was clean, bright and aromatic. The smell of flavorful broth simmering permeated the room. We were pleased with our choices on a cold Fall evening. The beef ribs were tender but not quite fall off the bone. I liked that kitchen shears were provided along with utensils. The broth was rich and flavorful without being overly salty. One order was very filling. The tendon mixed with chives, onions, jalapeños was very tasty. It was not overly spicy-- but definitely had some heat to every bite. The texture was a great combination of the soft gelatinous tendons with the fibrous crunch of the chives and onions. The staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The marathon race bibs and medals wall decor stood out to me due to the sheer number of them! It made the ambiance feel casual, really informal and laid back. I liked that it felt relaxed while enjoying our meal!

    The soups were delicious! Tasted like a home cooked meal! The service was fast and we got a nice quiet spot to eat at together! Loved the marathon awards too!

    My friend is a fan of seolleongtang, ox bone soup, and wanted to try this place. Locally owned place, the parking lot was crowded as well as in the back of the building (by the laundromat). It was crowded inside as well, with many groups and families dining. We weren't sure if we were supposed to go up to the counter to order so we waited and a server came to take our order. My friend ordered the yangji seolleongtang and I tried the galbi marinated pork. We enjoyed the pickled radish. It did take a long time for our dishes to come out, although it was worth it. My friend raved about the soup, and claimed it made them feel better. My sizzling dish was very tasty and a very generous portion -- I ended taking leftovers home. Will come back to try the soup.

    Great spot for affordable seolleongtang, galbi tang, and more. I don't know if the broth is the best in the area, but it satisfies the craving! The kimchi is pretty good too. The bossam with kimchi and oysters is surprisingly delicious even though it's not the specialty. They give a yogurt drink at the end, which is a nice surprise. I feel like a lot of restaurants have stopped doing this because of costs. It's located next to/behind Hmart. Parking can be limited at times, but it's very convenient if you want to grab a warm meal before grocery shopping.

Our waitress was wonderful, and helped us with some recommendations upon us letting her know it was our first visit! She checked in with us frequently, and made sure drinks were always refilled promptly! We had a bunch of different items, and all were very good! We tried sushi rolls, beef noodles, and ramen. I'd have to say that the beef noodles probably were the best item for me!

The quality and quantity of the food were very satisfactory back then. We were happy (and a bit surprised) that it had survived the pandemic, and was doing very well, judging from the evening that we dined in there. This N&C is smallish, during a sunny late summer evening, it was quite hot inside the eatery. The booths were pretty tight, even for petite people like me, and the tables and chairs could be a bit cleaner. We placed the order at the front desk. It took me repeating the whole order at least twice before the cashier understood what we were ordering. We had 3 bowls of noodles, each with slightly different choices. We ordered two bowls of Rigatoni Rosa, one with Parmesan Chicken and feta cheese, the other one had Grilled Chicken and no cheese. They ran out of rigatoni noodles and substituted them with cavatappi noodles. Then, they ran out of cavatappi noodles after two bowls, I opted for a bowl of Japanese Pan Noodles with Korean Meatballs on the side instead. A staff brought the orders to our table (we had a number). Portions seem to be on the small side. They skimped on broccoli on my bowl, and skimped on chicken on the other two bowls. The food was OK. I felt that the noodles from the Deerfield N&C seemed to be more flavorful with bigger portions. However, for a quick and easy fast-food dinner, this was OK.

Ordering was a breeze and the guys were always open to a conversation or giving suggestions. The restaurant was clean and the meal was always tasty. Just a note but the further away you move from any major city the fewer and harder it is to find great Asian food. The suburb is lucky to have them. The pandemic brought new staffing. Some were pleasant with customers though one lady, a supervisor had the wrong ideas of what customer service and proper etiquette is. Just the basics of my final visit. I took my family for lunch. We ordered lunch specials and a couple extra must-try plates. Two specials hit the table and the third was left waiting for her meal. Unbeknownst to us in the moment, her food was handed to a single patron there for his lunch. The place was filling up with a lunch rush but not so many that had complicated orders. Many were ordering similar lunch specials. Kung pao lunch special was popular. When her order finally arrived the supervisor realized she had given the wrong plate to the customer sitting some tables behind us. Mind you ten minutes had already passed. She quickly went over to him and asked what he had ordered. She then took the plate he was eating from and handed him the fresh plate. He was still holding a half eaten egg roll in his hand. Then she brought the quarter eaten plate and placed it in front of my mother. Before she could leave I stopped her and asked her what she was doing. She simply stated that was her lunch order. I told her she handed my mother someone else's food that they were eating and I watched the whole thing. Why didn't you take that to the back and make a completely new plate of food?! I paid the bill and got the F**k out. That's gross. Also, you gave the other patron new food but cannot do the same for our table?? This place is dead to me. If she could do that, it beckons the question of what else is happening behind the scenes.
