I love fusion food! I got the spicy pork burrito which was massive and so flavorful. The tortilla is toasted, which is a nice bonus. There is a lot of chipotle mayo, which made the burrito feel heavy towards the end. read more

Seoul Taco - Spicy pork burrito - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

TL;DR: Great food when you're ordering out and large sizes This place was a great go to for a quick bite when you are really hungry. The quality of the to-go food was yummy and I would get the burrito bowl again read more

Quick efficient service brings well grilled and tasty meats to your table in burrito bowl or taco form. The spicy red paste is formidable. Your correspondent had the spicy pork, which was excellent. Dining room is creatively decorated. Kimchee slaw is also worth your time. read more

Seoul Taco is a quick place to grab a bite. We decided to give this place a try after some disappointing service at another place. The ordering method is through a kiosk. The portions are generous sizes and the quality of the food is pretty good. The Korean flavors were on point. The decorations of the restaurant is very cool. We absolutely ended up loving it. The food, the service, and the atmosphere were all phenomenal. Our server was kind. Greeted and gave us great recommendations. He was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Food was alright. I've had much better kimchi fried fried rice. Nothing to write home about

Legit. We had the gogi bowl and churros. Delicious and delicious light. Bowl had excellent flavor and with extra steak very hearty. Churros with the chocolate miso sauce should be used as a weapon because it is dangerously good. read more

Seoul Taco - Gogi bowl - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Came here on a weeknight and this spot really is a hidden gem! Easy ordering system. Go up to the kiosk and place your order. Food comes out pretty quickly! Food + corn elote quesadilla = super delicious + bulgogi beef tacos = these were a real winner for us! + crunch wrap seoulpreme = this was really good but we liked the tacos more! The interior of this spot is super cool! Love the decor and the vibe. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered the tacos, a bulgogi burrito, bulgogi bowl, and waffle fries. The tacos were one of the best things there! Despite the raving reviews for the bowl, I would say that's something you can skip. I mean, it's good, but nothing terribly special. You should use your calories for more tacos or waffle fries! The highlights were definitely the tacos and waffle fries. Personally, I liked the burrito, but if you're not a fan of burritos, you can skip that. Just at least try the tacos and waffle fries! read more

This is an updated review. Again, I stuck with my usual-bulgogi steak nachos. The order was complete, the flavors were on point, and the nachos were fresh! I saw that they have a new chef or they're updating their menu, which was needed. I love this place and I'm glad their nachos are back on track! read more

Seoul Taco - Bulgogi steak nachos - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Some of the worst food I've ever had. Had the bulgogi steak tacos and overall flavor was just bad. Corn tortilla was extremely overpowering

Seoul Taco is the late night spot! I can always count on Seoul Taco for a late night stop after a night out in River North or delivery after a festival. A must get is the Gogi & Waffles. Now this is what I'm talking about when you hear the word loaded. There is a generous amount of cheese! No skimping here! Try the Gogi Bowl if you want to feel a bit healthier. It's a good balance between green and toppings. Skip the Kimchi Fried Rice as it is very bland. We always come back to this spot because it is always open but I'm not mad about it. read more

Good place for a quick dinner. I ordered the chicken gogi bowl and it was a big portion and had leftovers. The ingredients don't mix very well though. The lettuce and rice just didn't mix well and wasn't sure if it should be mixed or eaten separately. The lettuce could use more dressing because I had to ask for me and didn't even know they had already put it on for me. I asked for a different hot sauce that comes with the entree and it definitely goes with bowl better! read more

Fire! The burritos are absolute fire. I wish I lived closer. I do work sort of close to it though so I'll probably be getting this quite often now. It is so damn good. This is my new jam! Chipotle has been my go to for years and I've been so dissatisfied with it for so long and this is so much better. read more

First, the good. The food was very tasty. We had the Gogi with Waffles (fries), a couple of tacos, and a couple of burritos. Everything was exactly as ordered and the flavors were great. They're working hard but we're busy and a little disorganized in the kitchen. At least 2 employees in the kitchen seemed to be training. Our online order was quoted at around 25 minutes. It was closer to 40. We missed ordering something and it came out in about 15. I know lots of restaurants are struggling with staffing. Hopefully the reallocation friction resolved soon. Fully staffed and trained, Seoul Taco would be very close to a 5. Current state is a 4+. If I'm in Chicago I'll definitely stop by again. read more

This place was fucking incredible. I did not know that Korean and Mexican was a thing but goddamn it works. The menu is so small, just try everything because everything is good, nay one of the best things I've had ever had in my life. Right by the Museum of Contemporary Art, we walked after a long day of looking at beautiful art and this place definitely soothed our hunger. This country was built on immigrants coming together, sharing the their cuisines, and making dishes that should never been together but work nonetheless. God bless America and God bless whoever was crazy enough to think of this place. read more

The steak tacos were so delicious. It's a great fast casual option if you're in the river north area.

DELICIOUS. I got the burrito with kimchi fried rice and spicy pork. It was ginormous, full of flavor, just the right amount of sauce, big pieces of juicy meat and egg and kimchi, and the spring greens were actually beautiful fresh greens, and not trashy iceberg lettuce. All of this was enveloped in a soft doughy tortilla. I ordered this for takeout, but the staff was kind and the ambience was pretty hip with colored boomboxes everywhere, a place to take some friends for a fun lunch. read more

Seoul Taco - Burrito! So good - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I ordered pickup from Seoul Taco this weekend for something quick so I could hunker down and do some work, and this was exactly the food I needed to keep me going. I ordered the bulgogi burrito with everything minus the cheese, and fell in LOVE instantly When I unwrapped the bundle, it didn't look that large, but I found myself more than satisfied after eating half. What's more is I had a whole other half burrito to look forward to the next day! At a $15 total with tax, you're basically paying $7.50 for two top-notch meals that re-heat in the microwave the next day very well. What more could you ask for? read more

This was like okay... it was fast food style vibes in there but not fast food prices. It my tacos were like 13$ it would've been good

Order: 3 tacos (bulgogi steak), Munchwrap Quesadilla Nice quick eats Asian fusion restaurant. Pleasant experience and quick order from a self-order kiosk. Food came out fresh and hot. Decor was simple and layered and seating was comfortable and not crowded. Bulgogi steak tacos were nicely seasoned and lime was a nice touch to round out flavors. Also enjoyed the Munchwrap - fun twist on a Taco Bell classic and really worked well when paired with the kimchi mayo on the side. Would recommend if you're in a hurry and want a filling meal. read more

Great fast casual place - order at the cashier and they call your number. Got the bulgolgi steak tacos. Super delicious! They gave me a side of "Seoul sauce" for free when I asked for it. I think it was filled nicely, stuffed just right. Corn tortillas. Nicely decorated interior. I sat by the open window for a nice breeze, it was a bit warm inside. Only feedback is that I wish they had more dessert options! I was too chicken to try the churros with strawberry siracha sauce. read more

Seoul Taco - 3 Tacos - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Fun place to eat, I like the bimbimbap like bowl, with the egg, feels fresh and healthy enough :)

I wanted this place to amaze me but in reality it was just good but not mind blowing. I do like how they have two self order machines, this made the line go quicker. I just ordered the regular three tacos with steak as my protein. The tacos were good and flavorful but also really greasy! I also ordered a side of fries, they were sweet potato fries as I think that's the only fries they offer. The food was good but for some reason I was expecting more. The restaurant has a way more casual feel then I was expecting. I thought it would be more of a dine in restaurant but it's more of a fast food vibe. Overall, I thought the mix of Korean and Mexican food was a cool concept. I wouldn't mind eating here again! read more

Very funky cool interior aesthetic. It's a fast casual place and you order at the tablets. The food was mid tbh but they have great vegan options! I had the crunch wrap supreme one and my friend got the burrito, which was huge. the kimchi was really good though! The staff was friendly read more

So good, so spicy (everything is spicy to me)! I love their tacos or the sweet potato waffle fries (Gogi & Waffles). The steak is good but the bulgogi chicken is even better (ground chicken versus steak strips). Service is sassy, but generally nice and pleasant. Not a huge place so prepare to take it to go if going at peak times. Don't miss out on this yumminess! read more

Checked it out because it was close to Hotel Felix. Order by tablet and not all specials were listed. Vibe is chill with rap blasting. Service was excellent. Folks there were cool and friendly. I loved the serve yourself Agua Frescas. Food was pretty good but had to knock off a star because rice to meat ratio was too heavy on rice. Bulgogi meat a little salty. Kimchi fried rice was good. Tacos were good and we chose the steak taco as our fave over the pork and chicken because it had the best flavor. Needs pickled something to cut through saltiness and rich seoul sauce. read more

the ambience is really cool the decorations are cool asf. the spicy pork gogi bowl was good and the portion was good too. (from a korean), the kimchi fried rice was not good KOREAN food, but it didn't taste bad. read more

There is no sauce or anything else in this dry bowl. I made the poor decision to come here rather than stand in the long queue for tacos. There was nobody in the restaurant, so I should have realized the meal was garbage. HARDY PASS read more

Korean food is my soul food. And Mexican is always a fave. Korean/Mexican Fusion? WOW. I've had the Munchwrap which is basically the Taco Bell Crunchwrap, with a Korean twist. That's a lot of food and it's very filling. It was a little too much for me. But so delicious. It just caused a bit of a food coma lol. I've also had the Bulgogi Tacos, which is very tasty as well. They use the red leaf lettuce that is commonly used in Korean lettuce wraps. Just writing about it is making my mouth water. I want to try the burrito with the kimchi fried rice. I've also had their sweet kimchi slaw which is delicious. Seriously if you haven't checked this place out yet, I highly recommend it! read more

Korean and Mexican fusion sounds awesome and I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately, everything we ordered was just a mushy oily garlic bomb. The only thing breaking up the goo texture was kimchi in a huge uncut piece, like a tree branch in the middle of your burrito. Maybe next time I'll try the tacos and they'll be better? read more

Got the munch wrap seoulpreme and it kinda just tasted like something I could easily make at home while drunk, except not as enjoyable since it cost a lot more lol. I also feel like it's one of those items where the restaurant tried to do "Asian fusion" just by slapping some spicy Korean sauce onto Latin American food. read more

Seoul Taco - Munch wrap seoulpreme - Korean Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I only had the burrito, which I won't be getting again. It was 90% rice and very little bulgogi/veggies/sauce. I'd rather DoorDash real Korean food or just get Chipotle (or even Taco Bell to be honest) than pay $15 for that again. Cool ordering kiosks though. All the bad rating are getting buried, probably because the upset reviewers aren't taking the time to write paragraphs and upload a ton of pictures. So the good thing is that my experience at Seoul Taco is teaching me how to use Yelp better: sort based on date, or filter based on each review score instead of just using Yelp Sort. Thanks! To add, the sauce felt really heavy and inauthentic. I would not call the rice "kimchi fried rice" - there wasn't really kimchi in it. Service was pretty fast so that's a positive. Felt overpriced. I heard a lot of positive things about this place but I think it's just due to the novelty ("Korean food but in a tortilla???"). I'm glad I went and know now. read more

I was so stoked to hear that there was Seoul Taco in Chicago! I am a die hard fan of the locations from when I lived near St. Louis and could not pass up an opportunity to get some Gogi and Waffles! This location was super friendly and fast and the food did not disappoint. I ate every morsel of my Gogi and waffles and it lived up to my memories. Can't wait until the next time I can enjoy Seoul Taco! read more

This is fun. I love Korean food in general the spices and proteins are delicious so to pac that flavor into taco elevates it in a way that was even more than I expected. I ordered out it traveled well. Took it home and it stayed together. I ordered online so didn't interact with the staff much but no complaints. The inside was really cute I could see this being a nice place to sit during an outing. All in all 10/10 from me read more

I had come on a weekend afternoon with a friend and there seemed to be enough seating for the customers there. It didn't feel overly packed, but there was a decent crowd. I got the Gogi Bowl with kimchi fried rice. I was really looking forward to it, but the flavors were a bit lacking. I didn't feel like I was eating Korean Mexican fusion. It tasted like a typical Korean bibimbap except for the addition of some lettuce. The meat was a bit tough and at some point early on, it felt more like eating for the sake of just finishing what I paid for than enjoying it. This place deserves some applause for the staff though. The individuals who helped us were very outgoing and friendly, and this surprised me for a casual place like this. They were helpful with every customer and my friend and I definitely noticed, even as we were eating and overheard them helping first-time customers. read more
