Food: Amazing. I was surprised by how much I enjoy the cheesling flavor! Good crunch and good sized…read morechicken pieces, too. Service: Reliable and gives you exactly what you order. There's a little bit of a wait, but I get that. Also want to give a shoutout to the solid, ventilated takeout boxes. They don't get soggy, and they keep the crunch of the chicken on the drive back home! Ambiance: I can't speak to that because my husband went to pick up our food from this location, but as for the new HMart location, it's what one would expect from a food court situation except newer and shinier. (be forewarned that seating is somewhat limited in that HMart, especially if you go on a weekend.) Price: Prices are what they are these days, and while it feels a bit pricy for wings, it's definitely comparable to BWW/any other local dive. Plus, the wings are BIG. Overall, my husband has gone to get chicken from bb.q Chicken (which stands for "best of the best quality" chicken, he was told!) twice within 2 weeks, so I think that speaks for itself. Go and enjoy!

I ordered close to their closing time, so this may have contributed to my experience. I ordered a…read morehalf chicken golden original with a side of rice. My understanding is that the original was NOT spicy. But when I went home to eat it, half was spicy, half was not. Granted, they gave me six pieces instead of four, so kudos for giving me extra chicken. Unfortunately, the golden original was rather bland. They don't brine their chicken, so if you're eating here, select one of their flavored options. On top of that, it took 20 minutes for my order to be ready. So not exactly an ideal place if you are in a time crunch. The staff was at least very friendly. I signed up for the rewards program, but couldn't figure out how to add the points from my order to the rewards app. I asked the staff for help. They couldn't figure it out either.

The love the seafood pancake, japchae, and fried dumplings for appetizers! The bento boxes are always nice with different varieties. Bibimbap is good as well. My favorite is the soondubu jjigae. If I'm craving for noodles, sometimes I'll order it with the ramen otherwise I get the regular white rice. Love to crack my egg in there while the soup is still bubbling and hot! Also, love all of the banchan that they give out here. So simple but this place is truly the perfect meal!

The inside is a mess of random literal stuff (emory boards and piñatas??). None of the 4 menu screens work. There is one POS system and a brunch of printed menus scattered around without any organization. Nothing appears to be made in-house. The bubble teas all come from mixes. I will say even though I did not get the Korean corn dog I ordered, the one I got was edible. However, the inside was overcooked and it fell in my lap because the stick was ineffective. Not worth a stop unless you are desperate. The ownership obviously doesn't care, why should I?

Well I finally decided to try it for dinner when we had no plans. You order on a touch screen so you don't have pressure while making decision which I love but also you don't really get to interact with the staff. The food took a significant amount of time for our food to be ready but the place although small is really cute with K-pop videos on so we were entertained. Unfortunately, the food was very okay. Now they do come out looking delicious but the flavor profiles are a lot less than what you'd expect. I wouldn't try it again unless someone else was paying because we didn't find the food worth the price.

The staff was mostly older Korean ladies that were very helpful and kind. The younger girl working there, gives you great service. Each table against the wall has a button that you can call for service. Prices weren't bad, they're about the same as other Korean places. We ordered popcorn dumplings, Korean steamed egg, beef bulgogi, LA galbi marinated, and soft tofu soup with galbi meat. If you pay cash, you get free ice cream. Also, the banchan is unlimited and you also get Korean stew with the bbq. Popcorn dumplings were nice and crispy. It's also moist and succulent inside when you bite into it. The steamed egg was delicious. The bbq meat was great. I liked that there was more meat than bone for the galbi. I recommend getting the tofu soup with galbi meat. The soup is savory and the galbi meat is very tender. This will be my new go to.

Then there's the times when I'm craving their seafood pancake. It is a light batter pancake with lots of green onions, seafood, and it's delicious. Their grilling meats and pork are high-quality and their sides are all wonderful, especially the kimchi. It's just like I like it. Writing this review makes me want to go there this weekend. Lastly, the staff is very friendly, helpful. Weneeded a great deal of help when we were new to Korean food.

Gangnam Korean BBQ was definitely a different experience--very much an Americanized take on Korean…read moreBBQ. That said, the food was pretty good. My cousin really enjoyed the Japanese Wagyu and Australian Wagyu beef, while the LA galbi (bone-in) was the standout for me. It was almost as good as a home-cooked version, which says a lot. The service was about average, as they didn't check in on us much, and it felt like customer attention could be improved. The atmosphere was also different; having lived in Korea, I found it a bit confusing, but it was still okay overall. All in all, Gangnam Korean BBQ is worth trying, and I highly recommend not missing the bone-in LA galbi.

I had to order one to go. The chef even came out after our meal to check in and offered candy to all the kids. Such a thoughtful touch--great hospitality all around. Definitely come support them when you're craving wings!

The crunch that Korean fried chicken has, always amazes me. The chicken was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was delicious. I really appreciate that they use boneless THIGHS and not chicken breast. The chicken THIGH meat is dark meat and juicy, while white meat just drys out so easily and fast. The Kimchi Fried rice was good too. It's got a little heat on it, but when you eat the cold pickled daikon with it, it has a nice balance. If I'm ever back in Great Lakes IL, I'll doubleback fasho! Might be hittin this place one more time before I leave! My only constructive criticism would be to allow 2 flavors on the 10 piece and higher. I could only get 1 flavor, and there were so many that sounded good, I would've loved to have tried 2 flavors.

Arrived at a nearby hotel last night and was curious about the Tomahawk BBQ Steakhouse, and did not…read morerealize it was Korean BBQ until into the parking lot. I was immediately seated in a booth with a grill right in front of the bar with two large video monitors of Korean pop music going with the boys and girls dance vids constantly going. The decorum had the feel of an upscale Asian bistro bar, nicely done. I was a bit disappointed with the meats. A couple of the pieces had gristle and fat that I simply left on the plate. The Kimchi was some of the best I have had...and the garlic chicken wings were fabulous. The key feature of their system is ordering based upon pictures on a tablet. It seems that portions pictured are typically enough for two people to share. There were several dishes I ordered that brought larger quantity than I thought was a single portion...so if you are eating alone, take into consideration that you may end up with more than you might have expected. ONE last note...the Miso Soup was excellent.

My family and I came to celebrate an early Valentine's Day and treated ourselves to a nice dinner. I highly recommend making a reservation ahead of time. We booked ours and were promptly seated at 6:30 PM on a Friday night with no wait. Don't you love when things run smoothly like that? We ordered multiple rounds for our family of 4 using the iPad and through the night, I'd say the foods arrived under or around five minutes. There's a 2-hour dining limit, and we used all of it. The iPad conveniently shows a countdown timer once you're seated, so you know exactly how much time you have left. It's especially helpful toward the end when you're deciding whether to squeeze in one last dessert order. I also really appreciate the transparency of their ordering system. The pricing is clearly displayed on the iPad as you select items, so you always know what you're ordering and whether something is included in the AYCE menu. On one of our other visits, I accidentally tapped an item à la carte that was outside of our AYCE menu and saw the charge immediately on the screen. I notified management right away, and they removed it promptly. This kind of system helps prevent surprise charges at the end of the meal. At the end, they print out a detailed receipt of everything you ordered -- it almost feels like a "trophy receipt." It really reinforces how much food you get for the price and how far your money stretches here. Also note that gratuity was not automatically added (for our party of 4) so we were able to write in our tip. There's a wide variety included in the AYCE menu. That said, on this particular visit they had run out of a few items -- calamari rings, hot and sour soup, house salad, and a couple others. It wasn't a huge disappointment, though I was personally looking forward to the hot and sour soup. I did notice they've added some new appetizers like fried chicken wings. They also offer familiar kid-friendly items such as fries, chicken nuggets, and fried dumplings, which is great for families. Overall, the selection is plentiful -- plenty of beef, chicken, and seafood, more than you can realistically eat. Throughout your meal, staff will offer to change the grill (which is definitely needed after a while since it gets dark and charred). They spray some kind of a protective layer on it - my guess is so the meat doesn't stick. There seem to be two types of grills they rotate between -- one for general meats and one better suited for thinner cuts. My personal favorite is the Hawaiian beef bulgogi with pineapple. I also enjoy the spicy calamari and mini sausages. The garlic shrimp was another standout -- large and very flavorful. You really get your money's worth here. This has become one of our go-to spots for family celebrations. My husband especially loves it -- and that says a lot. We've been to many Korean BBQ places, and this is the only one where he's consistently satisfied with the meat quality, marinades, and sauces. He's very particular about flavor profiles, so that's high praise. The table height is also ergonomically comfortable, which really matters when you're cooking and eating for so long. The tables themselves are large and spacious, making it easy to hold the numerous small plates that come with all the different ingredients. We enjoy the ambiance here as it's trendy and well kept. Service is attentive -- staff clear plates promptly, offer grill changes, and are easy to reach when needed. You can also request assistance directly from the iPad which makes things seamless. It was cool to see they still have claw machines in the waiting area, which is a fun bonus for families. On our way out, they also had toothpicks and candy available. Small touches like that are appreciated. This visit was interesting because they had someone walking around offering complimentary printed photos with a Tomahawk-themed template. Additional prints with a frame were available for purchase ($20). Lastly, I wrote in my review a year ago and suggested a loyalty dining program. Since then, we have dined here a few more times but I haven't heard anything yet on this visit. We would still love for them to launch something! :)

Jin Soo KBBQ was such a solid spot for a full-on Korean BBQ experience…read more From the start, the table setup was on point -- a generous spread of banchan like kimchi, fish cake, creamy salad, and dipping sauces that all complemented the meat perfectly. I love when the sides keep coming and actually taste fresh, and these definitely did. The grill experience was the highlight. Watching the marinated beef sizzle over the charcoal while it caramelized and crisped at the edges? Elite. The meat was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor -- especially dipped into the sesame oil sauce or that savory soy-based sauce with scallions. Every bite wrapped in lettuce with garlic and sauce was chef's kiss. And the yukhoe (beef tartare) was beautifully presented -- layered with avocado, topped with a glossy egg yolk and garlic slices. It was fresh, rich, and buttery with just the right amount of seasoning. Mixing it all together made it creamy and flavorful without being overpowering. Overall, Jin Soo delivers on quality meat, great sides, and that interactive KBBQ vibe that makes the meal feel like an experience. Definitely a spot worth coming back to when you're craving good Korean BBQ in Chicago

The meat was good. Especially the non-marinated beef with the special matcha salt. NOT AYCE. Banchan (side dishes) were good and authentic. I would come again but not necessarily a WOW I MUST come again. If that makes sense. Decent KBBQ joint.
