I ended up doing the Try 2 Combo - a full sandwich and cup of soup. The sandwich was flavorful, but the filling felt lacking. I ended up taking off the top slice of bread to even out the ratio of bread to meat and I'm glad I did, because the lettuce on the sandwich was wilted. The chickpea and vegetable soup was packed with vegetables and had a flavorful broth. The bread and chocolate covered strawberry included were a nice touch and made it feel like you were getting a lot for your money. The interior of the restaurant is huge - lots of seating available. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

Hwang Dae Gham is located in a non-descript strip mall with some closed store fronts, so plenty of parking. My daughter and I were in town and needed to visit in the Northern suburbs, so afterwards decided to have lunch at a place that had meaning for us. Unfortunately, it was closed on Mondays so chose another Korean restaurant. Hwang Dae Gham ended up a great choice. We came soon after it opened, and it was already busy. It is a family owned business, and they obviously take great pride in their food and service. We had a chance to eat a lot of their non-BBQ offerings, and every one of them was excellent. Started with two appetizer portions: mul-mandu (small, bite-size steamed dumplings...supposed to be only pork but I swear I tasted seafood/fish in it...very good...reminded me of eating pelmini in it's size and density); the other was a small portion of japchae which we devoured...usually not a fan of this style of Korean mung-bean noodles, but really enjoyed it. We got two entrees (didn't share for once, so each got what we wanted). I got the squid bibim-bap (mixed rice in a stone bowl)...it's important to look at the pictures, cause it clearly explains the difference between the normal bibim-bap. They basically put a large portion of the squid-bokum, on top of rice...missing the normal cold greens. It was different, and I loved it. It was served with the requisite gochujang sauce, but you don't need it. It's already pre-seasoned. My daughter got the Gamja-Tang (spicy soup with potato and pork neck), and she really enjoyed it....like most Korean hot soups, great for a chilly February Chicago day. All of it comes with side dishes and purple rice. We especially liked the sweet glazed potatoes, picked cucumbers, and sliced mung bean pancake. Service was very warm and consistent throughout. It was just a beautiful opportunity to have a great meal and spend a lot of time with my adult daughter, reminiscing about the past and planning for the future. The entire Hwang Dae Gham environment was very conducive to that. I really wish I had two stomachs so I could sample the other dishes on the menu...all of it looked so good. We ended up bringing home most of the entrees, and it was delicious re-heated. Really inspires me to explore K-Town more when I get home.

Tried Lamoon for the first time on Friday night. We loved the restaurant…read more First thing I noticed was how clean and bright the restaurant was. Really great feeling when many local eats are more on the dark side. We started with the Crab Rangoon. Despite there being very little if any crab, these were really tasty. Crispy and hot, they had a lot of flavor. For Entrees, we had the Deluxe vegetables with chicken and Roasted Duck. The vegetables with chicken was a decent portion and was very flavorful. Chicken was thinly sliced and fresh. A very good dish. The roasted duck was a little drier but still good. I asked for it on the hot side, and they didn't disappoint. Wasn't too hot either. Service was really good. Food was fresh. A really great dinner. All in all, we will be back. I'd give it 4.5 stars due what seemed like little or no crab. But definitely worth your trying this place.

I got my order in a brown paper bag so I didn't really know the size of the container until I got home and pulled it out. Missing Lime wedge Round plastic container (clear top & black bottom recycle #1 dishwasher safe) I opened fairly hot container (4 miles home) making sure I stuck my nose close to it so I could smell the flavors dissipate in my nasal passage. The traditional smell of Pad Thai was so far a good sign to eat the $18 dish. Where's the Beef? I was disappointed in the beef that I paid extra for. It sincerely looked like the cheap regular lunch version; NOT WORTH $18 dollars. The sauce incorporated into the noodles tasted like it was bottled or from a gallon size plastic container from Sysco foods. Flavors of a pungent vinegar base. Not really the taste I was looking for being this was a newer addition to restaurants. Service Generic order taker, not expecting the Pepsodent smile, but more of a grunt would have been nice acknowledging some gratefulness of a customer walking thru the door. Ambiance Same as when the angry Chinese man owned the Chinese restaurant two owner prior when the koi pond was there.

We came here to celebrate my birthday, and it couldn't have been a better choice. From the moment you walk in, there's a welcoming, neighborhood feel that strikes the perfect balance between casual comfort and polished service. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, and I especially appreciated that I never felt like a burden being the only gluten-free person at the table. (All gluten free items are marked!) The beautiful lake view added to the experience and made the evening feel even more special. The food truly impressed across the board. I had the gluten-free lamb chops, which were incredibly tender and cooked perfectly. Other members of our party ordered a variety of dishes, including steak, fish and chips (which were massive; come hungry!), risotto, and pasta with marinara, and everyone genuinely loved their meals. To top the night off, they brought out a birthday chocolate flourless cake, which was such a thoughtful and delicious touch! I'm honestly surprised we slept on this place; it's a must-try for anyone looking for delicious, well-executed food. Mundelein is lucky to have a place like this. If you're nearby and craving quality comfort food done right, this spot is absolutely worth a visit.
