    Came here on Cinco de mayo which happens to be taco Tuesday. The tacos are $1.5 each on Tuesdays (max 6 per person). The tacos itself were very flavorful and packed however one thing I do have to mention is that it was very salty. I had three tacos but I barely finished 1. But for this price, I don't think it can be beat. I love the paintings on the wall and they had a lot of seating. The order seems like it took longer than expected but it wasn't long enough for me to complain.

    We go here consistently! The food is really tasty and it's easy to order. The price is awesome too for fast casual. Sometimes it does take longer to get your order because it's such a popular place so maybe factor that in.

    Burrito

    A bit salty but hits the sweet spot if you want a flavorful burrito. We ordered: - Burrito - Gogi Bowl - Chips & Salsa The burrito is hefty and will definitely knock you out.

    One night me and my friends were walking around downtown late at night, starving. I peep this taco place is open until 4am so we slide because there's practically nothing else at that point. Listen man, I am a taco connoisseur. I adore authentic Mexican food. I also love some good Korean food once in a while. Beef bulgogi is one of my favorite dishes of all time. If you are also a fan of both you NEED to pull up to this location. These are some of the best tacos I've had in my entire life. No exaggeration.

    (Kari's Rating 8.5/10) I've gotten soul taco a few times before as I live in River North, but I've never actually ordered the Bulgogi steak burrito. I always think when you take two cultures and mix them you're doing a little too much, but this burrito is actually perfect. The tortilla was soft and warm the Bulgogi and steak paired perfectly with the Sriracha mayo sauce it came with. The kimchi rice added a little bit of kick and the Bulgogi was sweet and tender. Overall, a very delightful review and I will be ordering this again. Thank Seoul Taco for changing my perspective on this restaurant.

    Got the chicken burrito here and it was very big. Flavor wise, it wasn't bad since it tasted like marinated chicken and kimchi fried rice. The tacos were pretty good too. The fried chicken I got was very crispy and I don't taste much of the chicken. The service was fast and overall a good place for the money.

    Came in when i found out seoul taco was doing a collab with Pink Mu. Pink Mu makes the best kimbaps chicago has ever had. I think it's such a perfect combo of Korean foods, Korean tacos and kimbaps! You can self order at the kiosk and Holly (owner of pink mu) was also there to help with any questions or tips. She's so so so friendly and kind. All the food came out so quickly and everything was so flavorful and fresh. We had chips and queso, which I LOVED. The cheesy elote bites were little bites of heaven. Kimchi fried rice being 4 bucks is a steal, it was so tasty, I think adding mozz cheese would take it to another level. We had the OG kimbap and the spicy pork kimbap, incredible. Just incredible. The misugaru horchata also was fantastic and I need it again. I also took home a miso caramel cookie that was fire. The interior is clean and spacious. I really enjoy the Korean mural, dope. I will be back for sure and I'll also def order delivery from here. We were able to find easy street parking outside.

    I experience Seoul Tacos booth at Complex Con and they did not disappoint! The staff were very friendly and helped me decide on what I should eat. The food prices were good for the amount of food you get and I didn't wait long at all for my food. The tacos were sooooo good! Whatever they do to marinate the steak made it delicious! The elote bites were good but I wish they had a little less sauce on top. If this is what I can expect from the actual restaurant I'll definitely have to visit.

    I got the Seoul Tacos and they were really good! I've never seen Korean and Hispanic Fusion before but this worked really well. These tacos are on the sweeter side, but it's not too overpowering. The inside of the restaurant is decorated nicely with comfortable seating areas. There's kiosks to order your food and the staff are helpful.

    I started going here since they opened , besides being Korean taco spot , it seams iit took some time for the restaurant to find a overall identity but theyve arrived to a Korean and Mexican Fusion menu that is a welcome addition to River North , especially late night dining , inside you'll find a variety of seating options including couch's , so people tend to hang out a bit , The Steak is the main item to focus on, marinated in Korean spices , the steak is tender and loaded with flavor , and the toppings are available in Korean style or Mexican style ,( Both. Very Good) They also have sides and a really good Horchata( Rice Water) prices are fair and you will leave full, overall I enjoy eating here but mostly just for a quick fix !

    Korean Cheesy Corn Elote Quesadilla

    I ordered Seoul Taco for dinner last night after hearing great things, and let me just say--it lived up to the hype and then some! This fast-casual Korean-Mexican fusion spot combines the best of both cuisines, and somehow, the results are even better together. I wasn't expecting anything life-changing, just some solid Sunday night delivery, but this meal absolutely blew me away. I ordered the Elote Quesadilla and one of each taco (beef, pork, and steak). The Elote Quesadilla was hands-down the best quesadilla I've ever had, and I've had my fair share--Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. The combination of the cheesy goodness with the street corn flavor was pure magic. It's the kind of dish you can't stop talking about, and I'll be recommending it to everyone I know. I literally texted a picture of it to at least five people today. The tacos were fantastic as well, and the fusion of Korean and Mexican flavors worked perfectly with the beef, pork, and steak. Plus, they had an awesome deal where I got three tacos free for ordering three--such a win! Seoul Taco has officially earned a top spot on my list. I'll definitely be ordering again, but I also need to visit in person to show them some love. I'll be dreaming about that Elote Quesadilla for a long, long time.

    Got this via pickup. Food came out pretty quick. The actual food was just alright, and I didn't feel like it was the best value. It was pretty empty for Wednesday peak lunch time

    Bill S.

    This place is sorta like the child of a mexican father and korean mother and I would say it is more mexican than korean, but that is just my impression. I ordered the three taco option and had one with chicken, one with pork, and one with bulgogi and of the three, I liked them all but really enjoyed the bulgogi the best and pork second best. This place is rather small, and the staff is friendly, and the food is tasty.

    Gogi + Waffles (spicy pork) SO GOOD.

    What are my options for strict vegetarian/ vegan?

    The Tofu is vegan. Any entree with tofu as the protein that doesn't include Fried Rice or one of their sauces, all of which contain egg, is wholly vegan.

    Does Seoul Taco offer vegan and gluten-free options?

    The tofu is gluten free, but their meats are not. Taco shells and Seoul sauce are GF.

A few dishes, like the Duck Fried Rice, Pork Belly, and Beef Noodle Soup, were actually pretty solid. But the rest of the night was just so frustrating that I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The Jiaozi were the first big letdown. The menu said they were beef short rib and bone marrow, but they didn't taste like that at all. The filling was just super mushy and the flavor was just weird. The manager and the food runner were nice when we mentioned it, but our actual server was a disaster. When we tried the Goat Noodles, all we could taste was cumin. It was so overwhelming that it covered up everything else. We couldn't even tell if there was actually any goat shoulder in there. When we told our waiter, she couldn't care less. She got totally defensive, wouldn't even listen to us, and just said, "Oh, I told you when you ordered that the dish is cumin forward" and walked away. It got worse when the bill came. She was holding on to the payment machine so hard and almost yanked it right out of my friend's hand. She was staring at it to see what we were tipping. It was so awkward and incredibly rude. No thank you, no nothing. She just grabbed it and left. The place has potential, but they really need to fix the food and retrain the staff. A cool vibe doesn't make up for bad food and awful service.

We're visiting…read moreChicago, and from the appetizers all the way through dessert, every dish was absolutely delicious. A special shoutout to our server, Martin, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, attentive, and gave great recommendations that made our meal unforgettable. One thing we really appreciated was how easy it was to please everyone in our family. We all have very different tastes, and Sunda had something for each of us. The variety on the menu, combined with the incredible quality of the food and outstanding service, made this a meal we'll be talking about long after our trip. We can't wait to come back the next time we're in Chicago. Highly recommend!

    We made a reservation at Sunda to celebrate my husband's birthday with friends before flying out to…read moreMexico, and it was a must-visit for me because I've eaten here twice before and still dream about the Wagyu Crispy Rice. The evening started off wonderfully. Our server was attentive and friendly, and the food absolutely delivered. The Wagyu Crispy Rice remains a 10/10 and is worth ordering every single time. We also shared the fried chicken and pork belly bao buns, which my husband and our friends couldn't stop talking about. Everyone loved their meals, and we left completely stuffed. Unfortunately, one interaction put a damper on an otherwise great dinner. My husband has had a white fish allergy for 32 years. He can safely eat certain fish like tuna, salmon, and trout, so he usually has limited sushi options but still enjoys it. He ordered what appeared to be a safe roll, but after the first bite realized it contained masago. We asked what type of fish their masago comes from, and the server confirmed it was from a white fish. Thankfully, he noticed immediately and didn't have a reaction. The server did offer to have the roll remade, which we appreciated. However, before doing so, she repeatedly told us that she and the chef "think all fish are white," implying that his allergy didn't really make sense. Hearing that several times felt dismissive of a very real allergy he's managed his entire life. Food allergies aren't something anyone should have to defend while dining out. To end the meal, they kindly brought out The Ridiculous dessert and the coconut cheesecake for my husband's birthday, and both were delicious. However, the moment was a bit overshadowed when the server mentioned, "We normally don't give these as birthday desserts, but because of what happened, we did." While I'm sure it wasn't intended that way, it came across as passive-aggressive rather than hospitable. Overall, the food was outstanding and absolutely lives up to Sunda's reputation. I'd happily return for the Wagyu Crispy Rice and everything else we tried. My only criticism is that a little more sensitivity and understanding around food allergies--and a bit more tact in how situations are communicated--would have made an excellent dining experience truly exceptional.

The vibe is speakeasy-ish; the entrance is off the street in an alleyway but the interior is very nice, low light, and would be fun for a date night! The staff were attentive and very friendly. My friend got some shots, which were surprisingly good given they were kind of sweet, and I ordered the "mystic lamp" cocktail ($16) which was VERY memorable to me as someone that loves floral drinks -- it was very floral, slightly fruity, and had a lovely chunk of lychee it came with which was delicious! The drink was decent sized too; I've been charged a lot more for much less drink at other speakeasies (those of which I don't plan to visit again any time soon haha). In my opinion, this spot has the perfect combo of great drinks, nice ambiance, cool speakeasy-vibes, but also cheerfulness given the tiki-theme inside. Would definitely rec a visit to anyone visiting Chicago who likes cool bars!

    I can't understand what the fuss is all about here. I couldn't wait to leave…read more This place represents itself as a tiki bar but is the most half-hearted attempt I have ever seen. I was excited for the experience having heard how busy it gets, blah blah. These positive reviewers need to seek out other tiki bars. After you negotiate the alley entrance and go down dangerously dark stairs, you are met with crazy boring decor. I kept thinking there had to be more right? The whole point of a tiki bar is to strike a mood, but hanging a very few polynesian masks on the wall, putting up a grass facade over the bar and dressing the servers in vaguely polynesian outfits is sad. I've seen private tiki bars at people's homes that are more exciting. Add to this a comparably boring music selection played far too loud over boomy lo-fi speakers and you'll wonder what's going on here. So what about the food and drink? Completely uninspired for anyone who's had more than a mai tai before in their life. About a dozen extremely common drink choices is all you get!! No specials, that's it. When I asked if this was the whole cocktail menu, the server said it was but they have a full bar so you can get anything you want. Well, I could get that service at just about any bar in the world, so big deal. Maybe it would be better if you sat at the bar and chatted up the bartender. One could also go taste their rum selections and other cocktails in the Bamboo Room, but I hate that kind of elitist nonsense. That's never been what tiki bars were about. The drinks we sampled were okay at best. Even the namesake 3 Dots and A Dash cocktail was lackluster and used cheap cherries for the dots instead of classic Luxardos. (If you know, you know) The appetizers were okay, but way overpriced. 5 tiny spring rolls for $18. Come on guys, enough already. I'd rather go to the bar at the Polynesian Hotel at Disney than return here. This place is a hard pass.
