We got hit with a winter storm but we are in need with some good hot spicy soup and nutritious food. Tang Korean Restaurant was open and we were so happy to be there! The folks were gracious and attentive. Make our time extra special. The food was good and hits the spot all three of us. We even ordered a seafood pancake as an appetizer (sorry no pic, we devoured it quick) and it was delicious and hearty. The environment and tables were very clean. We love how each table was separate on some sides and made it more special area. They said they are preparing a new menu with barbecue next month! We can't wait to be back and try other items. They have single and multiple portions on their menu. read more

Love this restaurant! I came here a few years ago and I remember it being so good. This time we got food to go. We got the pork stir fry and the spicy squid and vegetables. The squid was actually so spicy and so good. And the pork was good, I wish there was an option to add spice to it, really would have elevated the dish. Super quick for pick, only took about 10 minutes, which was great since we had a crying baby in the car. Definitely will be back! read more

Came here for dinner and the soups were all flavorful and tasty! The service was decently attentive. It seemed like only one person was working there. But there was another table of Koreans, so it made me think the food was authentic. The restaurant was spacious and since it wasn't too busy, easy to talk amongst everyone at the table. read more

Very friendly service and the food is reasonably priced! The vibes were a bit funny... Website on the menu has the word sushi on it and they had a giant screen TV showing sushi preparation, yet they served almost no seafood other than grilled mackerel with old Kpop music from over 2 years ago playing. I highly recommend the beef collagen salad, mandoo and the korean fried chicken! Everything else we ordered was surprisingly under-salted so I brought it home and re-made it with a dash of fish sauce and soy sauce to bring out the delicious flavors. read more

The food was delicious. Clean and space interior. However, the waitress was not friendly or attentive. We had to wait and wait, to call on her for sauce, which. She forgot and for the check. It was not busy. Only one other table during late lunch. read more

Pleasantly surprised about this place and it's a bit further from we live in Chicago. It's nice to have some delicious Korean not being extra spicy since most Korean food is usually spicy hot. We still ask for mild and it comes out spicier than expected. We went another place nearby which is really hot. Anyways, they have a nice handful of appetizers that are appealing. Nice people who work there. The lighting is definitely bright with lots of TVs turned on. You might have thought it was a night club if you didn't think it was a restaurant. Good that they don't blast the music. The place is appealing to all ages. Great variety of food. It's a definite a go to place if you want to get outside of Chicago. read more

My wife and I are new to the area, we decided to walk around the neighborhood and decided to check this particular restaurant and glad we did. Food is really good, service was great. Great for family and friends to visit. read more

I'm not sure why the restaurant has 4 stars. I went with my sisters for lunch and thought the food looked great but the taste... everything was bland. Something about the seasoning was not right. If the ban chan is good you know the food will also be good but the food came out first. All the dishes, bland. Then we had to ask THEM for side dishes. Bland. I felt bad because I found this place online and brought my sisters here only to be left dissatisfied. We didn't even finish our food. We left hungry still. Paid about $200 for everything. read more

This is probably one of my new favorite places for authentic korean food. It's pretty roomy inside - I've never seen it fully packed. Service was great - I think it's owned by an elderly couple. I came with a friend and I (shockingly) over ordered. I wanted to try their jokbal and bossam...and a soup so I got their seolleongtang. I didn't realize how big the portions were for the jokbal/bossam set. Their jokbal reminded me of my time in Seoul. I would definitely come back just for the jokbal/bossam alone. I've always stopped by for dinner but their lunch menu + prices look pretty interesting. I will definitely have to stop by for lunch in the future. read more

Tang Korean Restaurant - Jokbal & Bossam set with Seolleongtang & Hwangtae Seolleongtang - Korean Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Amazing service and great food. Highly recommend. Tried so many things I have never had before.

I used to love this place but the food quality has really gone down. They always have newer people, the original staff made the food very delicious but they're no longer to be found no matter when I go. The newer chef's food isn't tasty. The food has an odd taste like it's spoiled and the sides are not fresh. The ambiance used to be really nice but now it seems like they're not focused on that. The food is no longer authentic tasting, just a quick way to serve poor quality food for a buck. As you can see, my review has dramatically gone down. I do not recommend this place anymore! read more

Under new management. Menu changed Side dishes are fresh and delicious. We tried bunch of different foods, love the spicy sauce!! Like how crispy kimchi pancake is, the broth of Kalbi tang is amazing. Meat is tender, rice cake was perfectly cooked, pretty much everything was good. Service could be slow as they got one person for serving. read more

Great food and atmosphere, but the hours of operation need to be adjusted to 2100 instead of 2130. Arrived at 2015 PM, and they tried to rush me into ordering my food. Once the food came out, a taste of heaven was brought to me. Kimchi Jigae had the right amount of kimchi in the soup, but the hero for me was the Daeji (pork). The pork just melts in your mouth. I've eaten this dish at many places, and for the first time ever, I didn't have to keep chewing the meat for it to break down. A selection of seven banchan (side dishes) was served along with a bowl of steamed rice read more

Food is delicious! And the service is great! Love the fish roe soup it is very flavorful!

The restaurant looks so clean and pleasant. The food was delicious!! We ordered the kimchi jigae and fish roe soup.The service was so friendly. The waiter was engaging and made us first time visitor felt very welcomed. The restaurant was also very generous with their banchan. My husband and I had a lovely Valentine's Day lunch. The complimentary peach Milkis was a lovely surprise! Will definitely go back again! read more

I'm slowly learning about all of the Korean restaurants located within the suburbs, and I am very happy about this find. It's located in a large shopping plaza so there's a lot of parking. The restaurant is very clean and service was fast and friendly. 육개장 is one of my favorite tangs and Tang makes it so well. Such a good balance of savory, spicy, and clean. The prices for the tangs are reasonable and they have a pretty large menu. Definitely will be back. read more

Pretty good all around korean restaurant with most of th3 Korsan favorites on the menu

Very good soup. I ordered the beef tendon soup, they called it beef knee, it was soooo good, the tendon were soft and tender, with generous amount, not greasy and not too salty. I came out with the stone bowl that kept the soup hot till the end. Sure will come back and try their other soup. read more

great food and awesome service. very home vibe and kind people. would recomend without reservations.

I used to really enjoy this place, but ever since the ownership changed to someone non-Korean, the food just isn't the same. The golbaeng-i muchim was incredibly salty and yet somehow had no flavor -- totally off from how it used to taste. The bossam was sliced way too thin, full of uneven fat, and even had a bit of an unpleasant smell. Really disappointing. I'll probably skip ordering from here again. read more

i was in the mood for a hearty & healthy Korean meal - and what better than bossam (boiled pork wraps) to satisfy that craving?! it was my first time at this spot, and i absolutely loved the casual, homey Korean vibes. i would def come back for dinner and some soju. + the service was so kind. as for the food - delissshhh! the meat was perfect with the cabbage + radish salad, and the altang (spicy pollock roe stew) was refreshing and paired well with the bossam. i'll be back!! what we ordered: - bossam (boiled pork wraps) - altang (spicy pollock roe stew) read more

Great place for authentic Korean dishes! The marinaded kalbi was tender and tasty. The bulgogi was well seasoned (with cabbage which was new for us). The seafood pancake and tteokbokki were delicious! The kimchi jigae hit the comfort food spot. The service was on point and friendly. read more

Food/Taste/Flavor: 4/5 - delicious overall A3) Rice Cake with spicy sauce was delicious. The rice cake had a nice chewy texture without being too sticky and a slight sweetness to accompany the spiciness E8) Beef Bone Soup and E9) Spicy Beef Soup were nicely flavored and makes you want to come back for more. Unfortunately, the beef in both were really tough C5) Spicy Pork Stir Fry had some good mixture of vegetables and protein. Great flavors, good kick, but some of the pork pieces were extremely fatty N4) Spicy Cold Buckwheat Noodles had actual ice in it! The noodles were nice and chewy but the sauce was a bit watery from the ice Ambience: 5/5 - clean and bright. Earlier in the evening so fairly quiet when we first got there. By the time we were leaving, lots of tables and drinks flowing Service: 5/5 - the female server didn't seem to speak English fluently but was very polite. They took our orders and were able to make some recommendations Value for price: 5/5 - good food, large servings, quick service read more

The food was decent and the staff were very nice. It was clean, a bit run down but comfortable. The service was prompt. I thought it was a bit pricey - $20 for soju? But otw a decent meal. Not my favorite but also nothing to complain about. It just didn't have anything that stood out. My boys rated higher than I did, if that helps. I'd try it again. read more

We were so impressed with this place! We were craving Korean food and felt so glad to have stumbled upon this authentic restaurant in Niles/Morton Grove. Everything looked so good on the menu that we ended up over ordering with 4 dishes for 3 people: Jokbal (boiled pig trotters), Seafood Pajeon, Gopchang Jeongul (beef intestine spicy stew) and fried chicken wings. The platters looked just like the menu pictures, and everything was so flavorful and tasted so authentic as if it was a home cooked meal. We definitely could've just ordered the pajeon and jokbal and we would have been stuffed. read more

Ambiance: restaurant is tucked away, so may be hard to find. It's right next to the Ashley furniture store in the strip mall in Niles. Very cozy vibes inside, reminds me of how restaurants feel in Korea. Server was friendly and lots of Korean families dining on a Friday, always a good sign. Food: their specialty is broth/soup based broths Korean entrees. We tried the galbitang (beef rib dish) and it was delicious. Homey, rich, kinda reminds me of the scene from ratatouille where Anton ego is taken back to his childhood. The prices and portions are great too! I feel like this place will become a regular establishment in my routine. Service: friendly no frills service! No complaints. Worth it factor: 10/10! read more

Well this is my 2nd time coming here and I just came from the botanical gardens with my mom on memorial Day so have craving for Korean. I've been here before my Seattle Sutton's diet around February and the food was actually pretty decent if not good authentic Korean food. This time I brought my mom and this is a dinner. Only disappointment sometimes is that they don't give you enough kimchee which is why the 4 stars and not a perfect 5. Otherwise this is now a go to place for Korean cuisine. The prices for each entree doesn't seem that expensive as well. Service was a bit interesting but it's a language barrier. Other than that ambiance was ok read more

Ample parking, clean interior, welcoming ambiance. Love how Tang has evolved their menu to include a variety of options. They are family friendly which is a plus. We really enjoyed their bossam, doganitang, sseolungtang, bibimbap. Sides are quite good. The waitress could be a tad more hospitable.. but service is good for a Korean restaurant. Prices are a bit high but everything nowadays is. Great comfort food option in the area! read more

When looking for an authentic Korean restaurant experience, Tang will treat you right. They boast a full spread of side dishes all of which are super fresh and tasty. Seafood pancake was delicious with big chunks of veggies and seafood and had the perfect crunch with every bite. They have an extensive soup and bbq menu so it'll appease many appetites. I always go for soups and it did not disappoint - the galbi tang was perfect and is craveable. The Chicagoland suburbs have a lot of korean food options but I have a feeling this will become one of my favorites! read more

Came to Tang today for the first time and it was an awesome experience. We had Bibimbap, boiled pork with all its trimmings and cod spicy soup. The service was very great and the food came out super fast and piping hot. The restaurant was clean. All the tables were turned over right away. I came with a party of 4 and we did not have to wait to be seated. I will most definitely come back!!! Keep it up guys!!! read more

Pro tip: need to show proof of vaccination if you're dining in. Seated right away around the lunch hour. The waitress made this place feel like a real mom-and-pop shop. She offered us tea which was great for the cold weather. We ordered the bossam combo with the seafood pancake-we were slightly confused because it said it came with squid on the side... but she also said it was a mistake? We're still not sure anyways. Also ordered the spicy cold noodles. Honestly, we probably could have opted out for the spicy cold noodles as this was so much food! I thought the seafood pancake was thicker, mainly because they don't skimp out on the meat but I prefer it to be a little thinner. The pork belly was full of flavor and so tender! I'd come back here to try the soups! Came with five banchans, lettuce and rice which was plenty for two. read more

Tang Korean Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Niles, Illinois

Stopped by Tang Korean Restaurant after shopping at the Park to Shop nearby cause I was craving for some Korean food. The owner was super nice and friendly as we walked into the restaurant. The place was pretty empty when we got there around 2pm and the owner asked how we heard about the restaurant after seating us down. I told him I was just googling and it was close by so decided to give it a try. We ordered the Korean fried chicken, bibimbap, and oxtail/tendon soup. Everything was super delicious. The soup hit the spot for me and I was able to put in my own salt/pepper. The fried chicken was super crispy and I love how this restaurant separates the sauce from the chicken. The bibimbap was very flavorful with the gochujang sauce. Overall, I had a great experience and would probably come back if I'm in the area. I don't think I would purposely drive all the way up to Niles just for this place since I live in the city. read more

Food was just ok. Service was subpar. Pricey considering (a $17 soup is about $7 more than it should be). We won't go back. Seolleungtang was a bit greasy, and the meat was a bit tough. Sides (bahn chan) were subpar. This sort of soup and many others on the menu should be served with cubed radish kimchi (kkakdugi) but it was nowhere to be seen. Service was really abysmal. Korean waitress mistook order, from Koreans, in Korean. We did confirm but she didn't pay attention. We had a couple other issues but her attitude was to try and bicker with us and be defensive. She also forgot things from the order as well, but it was really just her attitude that bothered us the most. read more
