Susan C.

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
Anthony D.

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.

3 Street Tacos (Spicy pork and two beef bulgogi)

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.

Chips & Queso, Kimchi Fried Rice, Cheesy Corn Elote Bites, spicy pork kimbap, and OG kimbap, misugaru horchata

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
Jason S.

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.

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.

It's crazy it's completely died down by the time we were finished with our meal. The service was great, the interior decor was beautiful and the staff was friendly. The dim sum offered for brunch was good as well but pricey. Especially since some dishes were only offered with two pieces. If you have a party of three then you're kind of forced into buying two of the same dishes. Which is strange. Traditionally most dim sum dishes have three pieces. Rarely see 2 pieces being offered especially for double the price. We ordered their Jiaozi, Char Sui Bao, crab Rangoon, chilly chilli noodles, and their Xiang long Bao. All were great. The chilly chilli noodles is served cold and was very flavorful. The Xiang Kong Bao was amazing. The potstickers was probably my favorite dish and it's mess up char Sui Bao. We were going to order wings but they had ran out I guess by 12pm on a Sunday. I was also going to order fried rice but it wasn't offered for brunch. Overall despite the priciness of the menu, we still enjoyed our food and the service. I obviously knew what I was getting myself into by visiting this place, and can definitely see myself returning in the future.

The place was close to our hotel which was even better after exploring Chicago. When we go here we checked in and were asked to stand on the side and we will be seated. It did take awhile to get seated where other folks who didn't have reservations were getting seated before us. A hostess went to our kids menu on the table and then we waited some more. Finally a male host came and sat us. I think that was like a 15/20 wait. Our waitress was friendly and hospitable. She was cool to talk to and attentive to our needs this evening. We got the crispy rice wagyu and those were delicious. We also got the yuzo ribeye and black cod and those were really good. The kids loved the ribeye!!! I tried to get the lollipops but they sold out but I heard they are a great hit too. The noise level was very loud. It was so loud due to a party next to us who had a large gathering and were drinking heavily.

My two friends and I ordered the Korean fried chicken baos, two rolls of sushi (Panda Roll and Sake to Me), and Pad Thai to share. The Korean fried chicken baos were my favorite dish. The crispy chicken was glazed in a sweet and flavorful sauce, and each bao was also stuffed with fresh veggies that provided additional crunch. My favorite sushi roll was the Panda Roll because it included shrimp tempura and was drizzled with a combo of sweet and spicy sauces. The Sake to Me roll was also good, but I could have used some soy sauce to mix with the wasabi for additional flavor. The pad Thai had solid flavor, and I appreciated how it did not skimp on the protein. While I thought it would be jarring to consume such a wide variety of cuisines in a single meal, it was actually fun to share and try a little bit of everything.

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 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.

We arrived and we seated promptly and proceeded to the brunch buffet. The food was remarkable and fish so fresh and vibrant. When we got back to the table, a server (I assume) stopped over and gave us water. She didn't introduce herself, welcome us, or even offer us a drink menu or ASK. She did wish us a happy anniversary but that was it. As the meal was coming to an end, we went to the dessert table. The desserts are in a separate room over by the bar. There were several employees hanging out with a gentlemen who I found out was an off the clock employee. He was wrestling with another employee and almost knocked into my wife. I also heard another employee shut it down and heard him using EXTREMELY inapropriote language. This made us VERY uncomfortable. I gave him a look and he seemed to stop, but then he came over to her and proceeded to ask what her favorite dessert was. He then proceeded to be loud and honestly ruined our afternoon. The icing on the cake was that when we returned to our table after getting some dessert, the staff had cleaned our table and were resetting it. At that point, I was over it. We asked for the check. When I Asked our server who the gentleman at the bar was, she informed me he was an employee of the restaurant/hotel. 5 min Later, someone came to the table (not sure if they were a manager, they never introduced themself) and comped the meal. Overall the food was excellent, however the anniversary we had in mind was ruined. Off duty staff should be held to the same standards as if they were clocked in. We did not feel welcome at all. We were considering staying the evening at the hotel, but quickly changed our minds after the encounter, lack of service, and unprofessionalism.

(They are not served after 7 p.m.) Mott street has a small indoor space and a large outdoor space and every seat/table was occupied. It was an eclectic crowd and the vibe was young and hip. We ordered fewer plates than was recommended by our waiter and we were all plenty full by the end of our meal and still had leftovers. For six of us, we ordered three burgers (one couple shared theirs), the jackfruit bulgogi entree, two orders of garlic rice, crispy chili cauliflower, everything shrimp noodles, the imperial rolls and budino to be shared for dessert. What can I say about those burgers? Wow! Just wow. I had an egg on mine and when you pressed on the bun, the yoke of the egg would drip down. It was a messy burger to eat but with, hoisin aioli, pickled jalapeño, dill pickles, miso butter onions, american cheese and sweet potato shoestrings on the side, it was beyond delicious. Other favorites were the crispy chili cauliflower and the everything shrimp noodles. Nice, simple presentation of all the food and everything had great flavor. We were a little underwhelmed with the budino, but we loved everything else. The spacing of the food coming out wasn't always great.
