My dear friend Judy invited me here for a late lunch... I had mentioned to her time and time again how much I really wanted to try this place out and... FINALLY. This joint fully met all my expectations... FULLY. Such a cute little spot with amazing food. The menu isn't crazy extensive but everything I had was super yummy. And the service just as good. He's a kind Korean man... obvious he has a sweet spirit. We ordered the jjolmyun, dukbokkee, soondae and kimbob. So, so, so yummy. I believe their main source of income is from their catering though cuz the cafe is only open 11:00-3:00 Tuesday through Saturday. But their catering must be pretty fabulous cuz apparently they deliver to a church in Munster IN. I mean, whaaat?! So. Come here. Eat something. And order something to go for a party. Or just come here and eat something. =] Just FYI... they do have a lot but it's kinda tiny.

I can't believe how much food I got for what I paid for! ALL this for just $13. If you don't like soondae (blood sausage), then just ask for extra kimbop at no extra charge. Above all, it was delicious and I recommend supporting this local business!

Great food, great taste, and great people. Quick side dishes available for purchase. $10 credit card minimum No complaints. Definitely recommend this place to try.

Menu

The interior is Korean"covered wagon ()" style. The menu is pretty diverse (see pictures). The seafood soft tofu stew ( ) is delicious with a good portion, but priced higher than other Korean restaurants in the area like San Soo Gab San and Joong Boo Market Food Court. Good side dishes (). Korean Spoon only serves lunch Tuesday through Friday. Closed on Monday.

Glad to finally have a dedicated Korean catering and specialty banchan place in the burbs. Went to the soft opening on 9/5/15 and the food was fresh and delicious. Its not easy to locate but its worth it. Making this our goto spot for banchan shopping.

Kim, ttok, Soon. Yummy. I want it again!

Cozy spot. This place has such a warm and inviting vibe. The narrow, long space is decorated…read morebeautifully with soft lighting and thoughtful touches that make it perfect for chilling with a few friends or a small family group. The appetizers were a highlight, unique and bursting with flavor from a perfect spice blend. Not too spicy at all, just the right amount of kick to keep things exciting. The mains delivered that classic tangy, savory twist I love in Korean BBQ. The beef and pork came sliced super thin and tender, melting in your mouth. The grill was a touch oilier than I'm used to (probably to keep the meat from sticking), but it bother me slightly although most people would probably enjoy it. All in all, a real gem with great flavors and a relaxed atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more items and bring friends or family along.

Always always fantastic going here, service is very very prompt and everyone's nice when we go in…read more The servings are good and the sides are fantastic and they'll refill them occasionally as you finish. We've got been twice so far and both times we're very satisfied overall with all the food. The second time the un- marinated brisket seemed like it was cut a little too thin or the grill was a little too hot, so there was more sticking to the grill than expected but overall everything still tasted really good great kimchi, great potato salad, lots of veggies, lots of flavor. Soda wise they have Pepsi if that impacts your restaurant choice.

While I was in a group of 5 these were the dishes I tried…read more Bulgogi hotpot 4 of 5: flavor was okay, but overly sweet and there was just not enough for the amount of the purchase for me. c/Corn cheese 3 of 5: It is what it is and arguably was the best dish cause I knew what to expect and it met that. However, the price was a bit much for this I'd say. Beef tartar: 3 of 5 As there was nothing to special to it. Wouldn't get it a second time. I'd say the trip was disappointing for our party of 5 and what we got didn't match the quality of other gopchang restaurants in LA. For me who did not eat intestines I'd say it's a 3 of 5 place, but I'd say the value for the intestines based on what my party ate was more of a 2 of 5 as it was mostly grease that overwhelmed everything with no meaningful way to reduce it. Service was a good 4 of 5, but not as attentive at times.

There aren't many gopchang restaurants, so I was excited to try Gopchang Story with my friends. The…read morerestaurant was relatively new when I visited. It's very clean and spacious inside. For the 5 of us, we ordered the double portion of large intestines, beef tartar, and the bulgogi hotpot. The presentation of food initially was great. I've been to gopchang restaurants in Koreatown in Los Angeles and in Korea. I have not been to one that cooks gopchang in a grill with no outlet for oil drainage. For something greatly oily, it felt uncomfortable seeing it cook in an abundance of its own oil. The restaurant's lackluster solution to all of this oil was to dunk in large pieces of bread to soak it up. This not only looked very unappetizing but was not a successful solution. Additionally, letting the gopchang cook in its own oil, left the gopchang to be "fried" crisp and hard. The bulgogi hotpot had a good amount of meat and vegetables, but was way too sweet. They gave a small bowl of chive salad to a group of 5 of us to share, which we were each able to get very small portions of. They charge extra if you want more chive salad. Overall, a very disappointing experience, could not recommend.
