Had a good time Shoutout to john, food was good, atmosphere is nice, food came out pretty quick to.

Thank goodness this place was open at midnight on a Friday coming from O'Hare Airport to Northbrook. I'd been meaning to try it for over a year but couldn't convince my companion who was frightened to try Korean pub food she couldn't pronounce and proteins from animal parts we don't usually eat. This time it was too late to go to the usual mediocre places in town. I was lucky! We shared the Korean Market-Style Whole Chicken and the banchan that accompanied. Portions were generous, food was very tasty, and the service was outstanding. Prices were competitive. I remember when the dining room was a lovely, high-end nuevo-Mexican restaurant that catered to families and older adults. Now it's geared toward young patrons who don't want to go to a nightclub but still want the entertainment of private karaoke rooms and/or consuming animal entrails with friends. So the dining room is noisy and cheap looking; my only complaint. read more

OMG, I loved this spot! Such a fun Korean gastropub with a great selection of drinks. I also absolutely loved the workers, especially Daniel, the manager! He was so kind and made the experience even better. Definitely check this place out, and keep an eye out for their upcoming new location opening downtown later this year! read more

Gathered for our monthly Chew Crew dinner. We enjoyed the corn with cheese, beef bulgigi, another beef dish but can't remember what it was called (with beans, sprouts),the fried chicken, which was delicious and crunchy, and finished up with a delicious take on halo halo which had strawberry shaved ice and a ton of toppings. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought the birthday boy a Moon pie with chocolate sauce and a sparkler. It was very sweet of them to l celebrate with us. A couple of folks in our party had a few drinks. They also said those were good. It said karaoke, but no one was doing karaoke and we were so busy eating, we forgot to ask about it. Service was very good. The wait staff checked in on us often. I really loved that the tables had a little drawer that had all the utensils and napkins that we would need throughout the dinner. Fun place to have a dinner with friends. read more

Solid spot if you're craving Korean comfort food. The fried chicken is so crispy on the outside, ultra soft and juicy on the inside, the fries are simple but well-seasoned you just can't stop eating them. The 오뱅이 (sea snail and squid muchim) has a bold sweet-spicy kick with chewy noodles and fresh veggies, definitely flavorful with some heat! Portions are generous! We always end up with leftovers, and our kids love the chicken and fries. The vibe is lively with colorful lighting, service is smooth, and food comes out quick! read more

This place was packed and parking was hard to find. We were sat at the back corner and it was very loud. The servers kept passing by our table and going to other tables even when we notified them we needed a server. I started with the Screwkiss Cocktail and my guy had the Melona Cocktail. Considering they had whole popsicles in them, it wasn't surprising they were on the sweeter side. However, mine took forever and a half to melt; I even had to use a spoon to try and mash it faster. Fun drink, but wouldn't get it again. The complimentary bean sprout soup was light and refreshing. We started with the Stir-Fried Chicken Gizzards. It was much more rough/tough than expected. It was my first time having it and I liked the flavor, but the texture was mehh. My guy said he's always had gizzards that were softer and preferred it like that. The Beef Brisket with Mung Bean Sprout was really good! My favorite dish for sure! It was perfectly cooked and flavored and definitely a 5/5 for me. I got a side of Glass Noodles to eat with it, but I didn't like these noodles. Glass noodles are one of my fave noodles normally. The Army Stew with Ramen Noodles was good, but the flavor was pretty monotonous so it got boring fast. Their kimchi was okay and I wish it didn't have some of the ingredients like the pepperoni. We got a side order of Tteokbokki and it was a really great choice with this dish! read more

We came on a Sunday evening for an early dinner with a large group (~20 people) and squeezed into ~4 tables. The restaurant was much smaller than I expected and filled up quickly. Our group shared the following: popcorn chicken, stir-fried chicken gizzards, fried eggs with Spam, corn cheese, truffle French fries, seafood pancake, bossam (pork belly, shrimp paste, lettuce wrap), rose tteokbokki, steamed egg souffle with cheese, spam and kimchi fried rice, station noodles (beef broth, veggies), and strawberry bingsoo. My favorite of the night was the rose tteokbokki. The tteokbokki was perfectly chewy and I enjoyed the flavor of the sauce. The popcorn chicken was also good and paired well with the sauce it came with. The bossam was on the dry side and the seafood pancake was pretty standard. The fries were good but wouldn't pay $10 for a basket of fries if we came back next time. The corn cheese was also good but the plate was small. There was a call button at each table which was convenient. Food came out individually as it was ready instead of all at once which was to be expected for our party size. read more

Our party of 6 came over to celebrate a friend's graduation and it was packed on a Friday night around 9 pm. We got seated in around 15 minutes and they had a variety of items to choose from from appetizers to noodles and main entrees of meats and tteokbokki. Everything came out almost at one time and the spread of everything was delicious. Mac & Corn Cheese - I've had corn cheese before but with the macaroni noodles in it was a great addition. Cheesy, hot and a classic appetizer item. Chicken Gizzard - Not my favorite from the items we ordered. It was a bit too tough and chewy for my preference. Seafood Pancake - One of my favorites from the night. It was crispy and piping hot loaded with ingredients from squid, shrimp, carrots, peppers that all came together. It was the best batter to ingredient ratio and tasted so good with the sauce. Rose Tteokbokki - The other favorite dish that we got. What stood out the most about this dish was the rich, creamy tomato sauce that wasn't too spicy but still packed so much flavor. Filled with rice cakes, noodles, sausage and other things that were cooked well and soaked in the sauce. Bossam - A classic item and it came out a decent portion. The meat made into the ssam with the lettuce, kimchi and radish were a solid combination. From the pub-like interior from the decor and the friendly service with us getting drinks and some accommodations for the dishes, it was an amazing place for Korean pub food and for celebrating. read more

I was actually visiting Chicago and my friend had taken me here for an early dinner! We walked in at around 6pm and immediately were seated (we were a party of 4). What I loved was that there's a button on the side of the table that you can press and call your server whenever you are ready - I love convenience. Our server was quick and the interior of the restaurant was actually so pretty, they still also had Christmas decorations up which was cute haha. Here's what we ordered: - Korean fried rice: Can't go wrong, loved the spice on this. - Corn cheese: the cheese pull was amazing - Spicy BBQ pork w/ mozzarella cheese: Pork was juicy, spicy, & sweet. The cheese cut the spice so perfectly as well. - Bossam: perfect savory center piece (also made the picture look so yum) Overall, the food was great! I was definitely feeling satisfied after this meal and would definitely give this place another visit when I come back to Chicago. Maybe next time I'll have dinner here and try out the karaoke next door ‍ read more

One of the best korean fried chicken and seafood pancakes I've had in the Chicagoland area! Amazing and fast service, delicious food, such a lovely meal! Everything we ordered was delicious, but the seafood pancakes and the fried chicken stood out to me the most. I also enjoyed the tendon and shank bone broth - very hearty and umami-filled. Would definitely be back again next time! read more

I tried the stir fried squid with hand cut noodles. All the seafood tasted fresh and the flavors and textures blended well. It wasn't too spicy and the squid complemented the crunchy textures of the dish. Besides the squid, I think my favorite part of the dish were the hand cut noodles. The chew from the noodles really brought the whole dish together. read more

05/24/25 - First time @ New Village Gastro Pub @ 3566 Milwaukee Ave in Northbrook & it won't be my last time. I can here w/my wife & 3 siblings visiting from out of state. We came here near the last day of my sister from Virginia & brother from Berkley CA visit My sister Sue (11 year Yelp Elite) turned us on to this place. Really a cool vibe but a much much younger crowd than my family. Even tho us old geezers really enjoyed the vibe & the food both were outstanding. It's great when we get together as we can enjoy each others company & order food family style which gives us an opportunity to try many different dishes. The food & service were outstanding. She sister had been here before so she deferred ordering to her expertise. She did a great job w/her selection & we all enjoyed a tremendous meal. She started w/a hot pot that was very good (spicy) loaded w/all sorts of goodies meats, veggies....she ordered a whole fried chicken that was absolutely remarkable. The server brought the chicken to the table & proceeded to tear it apart w/her thermal mitts. The chicken was one of the stars of the meal w/thin chicken skin that seasoned superbly & was super crispy. That skin was to die for. The other dishes one Pork Bulgogi w/shredded scallions & tofu. The steamy egg soufflé w/cheese was excellent. There was another dish w/bacon & the long rice noodles. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal as the ambiance was really cool vibe, excellent food, great service & best of all getting to enjoy this w/my wife & read more

Great experience. The service is fast and attentive. They have a service call button too. The decor is cute and the spacing feels good. We were supposed to come with friends but the timing didn't work so it was just two of us. We ordered the 3 main things I wanted to try and didn't realize the portions were huge so I had a lot of takeout at the end. I feel like each dish could feed 2-3 people, which makes sense because it's for socializing and drinking. Market chicken - deep fried whole chicken. The server ripped the chicken into small pieces at our table. There's a side of salt and pepper if you need more flavor. The dark meat parts were juicy but the breast meat was more dry. The skin was very crispy. Bossam - lots of flavor options to layer. I do feel the ratio of the items are a bit off. Like not quite enough garlic, Napa or lettuce for each slice of pork belly. The thin sheets of radish weren't super pickled but it seems homemade. I think the menu mentioned perilla leaves but we never got any. Sea snail, squid, muchim - was my favorite. They're generous with the squid and sea snail. The muchim is seasoned vegetables and there's lots of it, making it a refreshing and healthy dish. There's also noodles. It's a bit difficult to mix together since the noodles clumped a bit but the flavor from the muchim did coat everything. Even the squid had flavor after mixing. The squid and sea snail were both tender and not hard to the chew. Would definitely come back to try more on the menu! And get the muchim again. read more

Such good Korean food! We came here on a Wednesday night and it was still pretty full, I can only imagine what a weekend rush would be like. There were 2-3 waiters, they have bells you can ring when you need something and the waiters are really quick at attending to you. We got the spam and kimchi friend rice, tteokbokki, and the stir fried squid with noodles. We didn't like the fried rice, there wasn't much flavor to it. But we loved the squid with the noodles, so spicy, flavorful and delicious! Definitely coming back for more of their food!! read more

Really really solid Korean food. This is probably one of my favorite Korean spots in the suburbs. The restaurant is in a strip shopping center with other stores. There's plenty of tables in the restaurant to seat a small party. We came on a Tuesday at 5:45 pm and the restaurant quickly filled up by 6:30 pm. My friends and I shared the rose tokbokki, the seafood jampong, and the fried chicken. Everything tasted superb. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with crispy skin and tender meat. The jampong came with generous portions of seafood and noodles. The soup had a Smokey flavor and was full of depth. The rose tokbokki reminded me of Indian butter chicken. Inside the dish there were glass noodles, sausages, bacon, and rice cakes. The rice is free of charge which is a nice perk, since a lot of places usually charge you $1 for it. The service was super friendly and efficient. Will definitely be back to try more of their menu items. I love that the tables come with call buttons so you can get helped very quickly. read more

Good service despite being very busy, love the ambience, parking is difficult, food was just ok. I tried the popcorn chicken, truffle fries, tofu kimchi, beef brisket with mung beans and sprouts, cheese balls, and strawberry bingsoo (shaved ice). The cheese balls were delicious and the nephew was crazy about the strawberry bingsoo. The popcorn chicken and fries were ok but texture could've been better. The tofu kimchi was too salty. And the beef brisket was tasty but a bit on the salty side as well. If the food and parking situation could be improved, I'd definitely be open to returning as the ambience and decor were really unique, reminded me of chicken places and bars in Seoul. read more

We decided to pay a visit to the restaurant given all the amazing reviews. The restaurant is located at a strip mall across the street from H Mart in Northfield. The restaurant seemed popular among Asians. Different than your typical Korean restaurant that serves bibimbop and bulgogi dishes, this place feature Korean comfort food and has some unusual options, sea nail and octopus muchim for example. We ordered their army stew and steamed dumplings for the kid. For what it is, I would say they were both pricey. The army stew was once quite popular in Asia, which really is just cheap meats and instant noodles boiled in kimchi soup. The portion was good but the whole thing was overpriced ($27). The steam dumplings ($17) came with three different flavors which had decent taste. read more

I love coming back to this place! Their seafood pancake and fried chicken is just insanely amazingly delicious. I have taken my family here multiple times and this is literally my to go dinner place whenever I'm in the suburb with my partner. The price is super reasonable, the fried chicken skin is super crispy and batter isn't too thick. The seafood pancake is loaded with flavors and a ton of seafood. They do not skimp at all! I haven't had a single bad menu item from this place. I tried their spicy/regular soup, gizzards, and intestines in which they all blew my mind away. I love it when they rip the chicken in front of me because you can see the juice dripping down onto the plate. read more

Very authentic!!!! New Village Gastro Pub was worth the hype I've seen online. They had a huge menu so it was hard to choose what to get. My favorite (and everyone's favorite) was the fried rice. We got it without spam and it was still very good. The popcorn chicken was also a hit. It was super crunchy and came with a really good sauce. I didn't love the Traditional Tteok bok ki because it was very spicy and I didn't like that the dumplings in it came fried. We also tried the beef bulgogi & that was another favorite of the table. It's pretty small inside, so if you have a bigger group I would recommend making a reservation. Overall, I want to go back to try more things on the menu!! read more

A busy atmosphere with a hip and happening vibe for a Saturday evening out. Inside was definitely geared for those who like the mix of restaurant/club/eatery. If going with a large group, definitely make a reservation or call ahead. Wait staff was friendly and quick as well as attentive to refilling water jug given at your table. Utensil and napkin drawers on side of table added a unique flair. Food came quickly and was tasty and temperature hot. A lot of choices on the menu ranging from cooking at table with mini stove, to Ala carte ordering or even family style sharing. A definite vibe to try, enjoy the food, and check this place out. read more

New Village has a lively and vibrant vibe. The lights, the sounds, murals and decor invites you in for an exciting night of food and fun with friends/family. I was really excited until we walked in and was met with a strong strange smell of cleaning product/bathroom/wet mop. It was odd because I was expecting aromas of delicious Korean food. It is such a great place to gather it's easy to overlook the unpleasant smell. We spent two hours in the Big Karaoke Room. The maximum number of people for the Big room is 16 people. We had 15 people and were quite comfortable. The staff members serving us were super helpful, attentive, and friendly catering to our large group. The karaoke equipment took a minute to figure out and navigate for a non Korean-reading/speaking non-Korean. There was a youtube option to pull up songs, but the host said since their internet was spotty, using the traditional Karaoke tablet was recommended-- but this option takes a minute to figure out how to use their catalog system of songs. Also, the tablet to select songs is not bluetooth so I had to remember to aim the tablet at the machine to make a selection like a remote control. Once we figured everything out, it was a blast singing popular songs together! *Just a side note, we had some kids with us, most songs seemed to be the originals (not edited/radio version) Considering it being a pub, it probably isn't meant for kids---however, we still felt comfortable bringing the kids and the family had a great time together! We ordered a few Korean Style Market Chickens, Steamed & Fried Dumplings, Bulgolgi, Seafood Pancakes, Bossam, sweet potato and truffle fries, and popcorn chicken. The food came out sizzling hot, fried chicken was crispy, seafood pancakes were panfried yet fluffy and full of big pieces of seafood/veggies mixed in. I would definitely come again for a group gathering! read more

We absolutely love the food here...so much so that we probably come in more often than we should! We've introduced New Village to our family and close friends, and now they can't stop talking about how delicious everything is. So far, every dish we've tried has hit the spot, especially the Korean style whole chicken. So good! The service has always been excellent. Leo, the manager (as well as the rest of the servers), has always been incredibly kind and accommodating to me, my wife, and our four little ones, which means a lot to us. We're so glad this place opened up, and we're definitely repeat customers! read more

Bustling fun atmosphere with excellent fast service & extensive menu of Korean pub food. Stopped by after a round of golf for some Somek (soju+beer) and their famous whole Korean fried chicken and army stew which hit the spot for us. Will definitely go back to try other pub dishes when in the area. read more

Growing up in the North shore in the 90s and always being asked "where are you from?" It brings a special joy to my heart that Korea is no longer an unknown country. From K-pop to K-beauty and most important of all K-food! Start to finish New Village Gastro pub is amazing! The decor alone is visually delightful. It really feels like you're in "old school" Korea during the days of pojang macha. Even the tables remind you! You have to check out the karaoke alley too! All of their food is great. Ddukbokgee, the whole chicken, the snail & squid muchim. My mouth is watering thinking of all the things they have there. It's a busy place so try to grab ressies if you can. I've been there several times but my first time posting a review. Service is great and just like a Korean place they have those wonderful bells that call the servers so you don't have to flag someone down like you're landing a plane. Also try their drinks! I personally liked their screw cocktail. Soju, sprite, and a screw popsicle (Korean). So refreshing. New Village is a great place to celebrate being alive! read more

Amazing Korean food! I was a bit worried the food wouldn't be as good for takeout, but everything was great.

We come by Niles at least once a year when we are in town but I don't remember coming across this restaurant. I was looking for Korean food with good reviews, so decided to meet here with friends. We ordered just two items, I wish I can order every item on the menu. We got the snail squid moochim. It was refreshing and delightful. I really liked the crunch from the cabbage, onions, and the addition of perilla leaves. The seasoning was slightly spicy and squid and snail proteins were a good combination to the veggies. I do think the chewy noodle ratio was small compared to the rest of the entree ingredients. The portion was huge. My hubby ordered the spicy pork with cheese. I had a bite of it and although I am not a big fan of cheese these days, it paired well with the pork. I will be coming back the next time I am in town. read more

Stir-Fried Squid with Hand-Cut Noodles 8.72/10 - Despite my usual preference for calamari, this dish was a revelation. The tender squid was perfectly complemented by the crisp cabbage, garlic, onion, and a kick from the hot pepper. The hand-cut noodles soaked up the rich, spicy sauce, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left me wanting more. Truly an unexpected delight. Army Stew with Ramen Noodles 8.48/10 - This dish was a hearty, comforting bowl of deliciousness. The savory broth, though intensely spicy, paired wonderfully with the tender ramen noodles. The combination of hams, sausages, spicy kimchi, tofu, and vegetables created a rich and satisfying experience. Despite the broth's fiery heat, which tested my high spice tolerance, the flavors were balanced and deeply comforting. Beef Bulgogi 9.47/10 - A traditional masterpiece, this beef bulgogi was nothing short of exceptional. The beef was incredibly tender, and the accompanying vegetables were cooked to perfection. The flavors melded together beautifully, making each bite a delightful experience. Kimchi Fried Rice 9.67/10 - This kimchi fried rice was an absolute standout. While it was incredibly spicy, the flavors were so well balanced and it was an excellent dish. The addition of a perfectly cooked egg on top elevated the dish to new heights, adding a creamy richness that perfectly complemented the heat. The dish was a perfect blend of heat and savoriness. Can't go wrong with getting Soju as well- they had lots of options for drinks but had to go with a classic. This place not only has the best Korean food that I've had- but also offers karaoke and is open till late night! Was so excited to try this place as it was on Yelp's Top 100 and it did not disappoint. Instagram: @hungrytamale read more
