    truly authentic Korean bbq! They take care of grilling the meats and the must-have fried rice at the end was immaculate

    Robinsue B.

    Delicious food and great service! We had the japchae, kalbi tang (so delicious our toddler had three bowls!), marinated ribs and wagyu brisket and the steamed egg... all delicious and the meat was marinated well. The japchae was so flavorful and the best I've had in Chicago. The service was excellent, they were prompt, they were nice to our toddler and understanding of her being a little antsy... and the grilled the meat for us!! Highly recommend

    Hwang Soh was a surprisingly delicious kbbq find! A traditional place, the cooking of the meat is handled by the employees. One thing I found particularly interesting at Hwang Soh was that the meat was seasoned (with black pepper, for example) by the employee at the time of grilling. I don't think I've seen a kbbq place do that before! It's totally optional, but I trusted the employee to do their thing. The meat was indeed really delicious. Between 3 people, we ordered 3 different meats and that was totally sufficient for us. Excellent and delicious kbbq place, no real complaints here.

    Some steak, tofu seafood soup, squid bibimbap, Pork Kimchi Gee Gae Soup

    Been coming here for awhile, and it doesn't disappoint. Quality of the food is great, the steak and intestines are ver good. A lot of locals coming in with some a small mix of a crowd. They have Korean music videos playing up high, but the main focus is the food. Taste of quality and like coming here. It's a small space, so plan ahead. Hours are tight too, but worth it.

    fried rice

    Environment is great with nice services. The food is very authentic and tastes good! I love this restaurant.

    Love the K-pop videos on the TVs. It is part of the fun atmosphere. The food was delicious. We had the galbi, pork belly, seafood pancake, steamed egg, kimchi fried rice and galbitang. Service was efficient. Definitely going back for more food.

    I've been getting takeout from here and finally dined in with my friend. I have been looking for a kbbq spot with quality intestine bbq. Gopchang Story is reliable and good, but is kind of far from me. I prefer to eat grilled intestines at restaurants that specialize in it like Hwang Soh Grill. There are the usual meats on the menu too if you just want regular kbbq. Prices here are pretty average considering the quality of meat. We shared 1 order of small intestine and 1 order of large intestine. They had good flavor and seemed to be cleaned well. I just can't get enough of the taste of grilled innards and chives together. My friend was trying grilled intestines for the 1st time and she fell in love with the chive pairing too. It comes with onions, potatoes, pumpkin, mushroom, and rice cakes on the grill. Side dishes were also average but good. The first time I got takeout from here it came with pickled garlic ramps leaves! Those were great. Of course, we finished the meal with fried rice - the perfect dessert. I do wish there was more leftover fat in the pan for fried rice, but a lot of it had drained off because of the type of grill pan they used. I thought the portions were ok for someone with a big appetite, but 2 orders and fried rice is certainly a lot for someone with a small appetite. I want to come as a party of 3 next time, so I can order my favorite, abomasum. Their mountain tripe is tasty too with lots of garlic. Can't wait to come back!

    Spicy Pork Bulgogi

    The servers at this restaurant were so nice. They even cooked the proteins for us. It's a small Korean bbq restaurant that serves a variety of proteins and has delicious banchan. The japchae noodle dish was tasty. We also had the spicy pork bulgogi and wagyu beef brisket. We are planning to go back to try other dishes and proteins.

    Excellent Korean food is found here! We loved everything that we ordered. The Japchae and Seafood Pancakes were our favorites along with the various grilled meats.

    Kimchi ( about to be fried rice)

    BY FAR THE BEST KBBQ EXPERIENCE BAR NONE! I'M SCREAMING! aahhhhh! From the jump, ample free parking lot. Sold. Walking in, very short wait-even though it was busy on a Friday night, we didn't have to wait very long as it's very in and out. Fast service, fast food! Everything was delectable! Not AYCE but affordable! They offer you kimchi fried rice at the end of your meal as a finishing appetizer; it's quite pleasant! Service was very good! They offer grape soju and red raspberry wine. This. Was. Awesome.

    So good!! The best kimchi I have ever had and what great service. My table got 3 different beef bbq and A+

    Realllllllyyyyyyy goood! Authentic! Highly recommended!

    Awesome! Very authentic and the service is great too - we ordered the K-bbq, great portions for two! Sojo and beer are awesome too! Highly recommended!

    Please bring back the 양념 양파 when ordering the 차돌백이. The plain lettuce wraps are not the same?

    More people asked us for the lettuce wrap than green onions. Due to the size of our facility, we could not do both. If More people ask for shredded green onion, we might change to green onion in future. Thanks for the understanding.

    Hi. I'm wondering if you can order a mix of daechang and gopchang, or does it have to be 2 orders for each?

    You could mix, no problm..

    Hello, I was wondering can gopchang and daechang be ordered for take out? Thank you

    Yes, many people order as takeout.

The first thing that hits you when you walk in is the smell, and it is coming from the outdated carpet. It is not subtle. It lingers throughout the entire space and makes it hard to fully enjoy the experience or even have much of an appetite. Older carpet is a real issue in restaurants. Over time, it traps dust, food particles, grease from the air, moisture, and bacteria. If it is not regularly deep cleaned or replaced, that buildup starts to break down and creates a heavy, musty odor. It does not stay contained in the carpet either, it rises into the air and essentially fills the entire space. The smell is so strong that it takes away from what would otherwise be a really good dining experience. Updating or properly maintaining the carpet would make an immediate and noticeable difference.

Flame On Peri Peri is a singular restaurant serving hot ass food. Kind of seems like it mixes American fast food with Mediterranean options such as chicken and falafel among protein options. This type of cuisine typically uses meat but there's a falafel option for those getting the meaty stuff. After hearing about it one time, I came here. It's located in a nice strip mall building, modern looking. This is an order at the counter type of restaurant. Has some spicy ass food. There's a sort of Mediterranean fast food kind of feel too. It's about $10 for one of the Rice Bowls. The vegan option for protein is the falafel. These were plentiful, a good value. Also you get a choice of sauce, and I got the creamy hummus. This also came with hot and white garlic sauce. It was fucking ass hot. This had serious hot peppers in there. For sure I would go here again. It's expensive so not all the time of course. There's a pretty big menu full of options like bowls, pitas, and salads, and there's options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.

We didn't notice until our way out but they also have a drive-thru, and signs that say they offer delivery/are on DoorDash, so with multiple options, Charcoal Flame is convenient. This building looks like it possibly used to be an old 90s/00s KFC or Pizza Hut or something, but it's cozy and clean and we love an easy access parking lot. The menus are expansive and you order at the counter when you walk in. There are plenty of tables for dining in, and a few were taken while we were there. There was a steady stream of phone orders coming in for pick up, and the restaurant was busy overall. We were helped right away and the staff at the counter were so friendly. I ordered a Maxwell street sausage as a meal ($5 additional for a drink and fries) and my partner ordered the American Gyro sandwich and also as a meal. We grabbed a table and our drinks from the fountain machine and only waited a few minutes for the number on our receipt to be called with our order. The food here is so fresh and delicious. This is one of the best Maxwell street sausages I've had around, the bread was perfect and soft inside and crispy on the outside with the sausage split and grilled and perfectly sweet caramelized onions. The fries looked like they came in frozen/pre-cut but were fried up perfect and a generous portion. The Gyro came stacked with meat, it wasn't dry, and had great flavor. Because the food was so delicious I decided to grab a piece of baklava to go, which I was assured was homemade and delicious - and they were right. So sweet, fresh, textured, rich, luxurious. Don't skip the baklava when you stop by! This is definitely a spot that will be added to our regular rotation of lunch/dinner spots around town. Thank you so much Charcoal Flame Grill for a wonderful experience with super friendly staff! Can't wait to see you soon and try more menu items!

Than I read something on instagram that they serve the best gyros, I just had to swing by. I ordered their Gyros Dinner Plate and their Pork Chops Dnner Plate. I also got their Kefte Dinner Plate for my son Alex. Alex said his kefte plate was good. I, on the other hand, found my touted Gyros plate, kinda "meh". The meat was kinda bland, although those humongous greek potato wedges were awesome! I bought the pork chops for din-din with my wife later that night. Unfortunately, the chops were tough and chewy! I know it's tough to cook pork chops, but, they're a restaurant. You'd think they'd know how to cook pork chops the right way. So, in conclusion, it was a big letdown for me on this new find. I'd have to say that their servings are quite abundant, but It terribly lacks in taste and texture, and I don't think quantity equals quality here.
