    Gangnam Market Food Court
    Frances S.

    Workout Rice is nestled in the food court of Gangnam Market, or as we like to call it "Korean Whole Foods." We came here on a whim to sample a variety of the food court's options and IMO, Workout Rice was the tastiest one! We got the Three Toppings Combo Donburi and it was made fresh to order so when I got it, it was hot and fresh. The 3 toppings consist of: WAGYU beef tongue, sliced beef, beef chunks served on rice, and it comes with a side of miso soup, toasted garlic, tamago, pickle radish and cabbage. Everything was so tender, flavorful and delicious, perfect on a chilly Chicago evening. Elevated comfort food! The only reason why I took off one star is because it was a little steep for a bento box at $18 before tip. But perhaps it was the Wagyu that bumps up the price. I do wish they gave you just a touch more meat. But overall, very delicious and would visit them again!

    One of my favorite spots in the Gangnam food hall. They do the Hainan chicken rice very well and it's always buy one, get a second at discount. On top of the three sauces you're given, the chicken is very tender and the rice perfectly cooked and flavored. I've eaten this dish here a couple times and it's consistently good. I recently tried the beef tongue rice and that was also solid.

    20% off on wednesdays! I liked the braised beef the most If you don't think about wagyu when you get it then it's great! Good value

    The place is in the food court of Gangnam market and there are tons of food options here. This one stood out because of the buy one get another 50% off. Quality- the chicken is good quality. This is my first time having this type of chicken and it was moist and seasoned well. The rice was also cooked well. However, between the two dishes we got, one had substantially more chicken than the other and the sauces they give was too salty. Quantity- you get a good amount for the price. More rice than chicken though. Atmosphere- nice food court atmosphere. Service- very fast.

    Love their Wagyu Donburi, so filling and full of flavors. Service is quick and price is right for the amount of food you get.

    We went to Gangnam Market's food court today and I decided to try the Hainanese chicken and rice from Workout Rice. It was about 11am which wasn't that busy yet. Ordering was easy and done on a kiosk. There wasn't any interaction with staff other than when they called my ticket number. The rice was flavorful, the sauces paired well and the soup completed the dish. I was highly impressed with this dish that I finished the entire thing! I would definitely come back. I would suggest to come early since the food court filled up quickly around 12pm.

    This place is located inside Gangnam Market. By the time my mom and I finished grocery shopping, it was lunchtime, so we decided that we should also try out the food court. It took us a while to decide which place to try 1st. But my mom is a huge fan of Hainanese chicken, so she decided on getting that since they also had a promotion for BOGO 50% off. My mom lives to make this at home herself, but she also likes to try out other restaurants that make them to see if they are any better than the ones she makes. It looked decent enough, so we put that to the test. My mom took a bite of the chicken and said that it was not that great...it was a fail. She said that this was not authentic. She said that the way they made the chicken was not the right kind and that they just used the seasoning to cover up the chicken. There are different chicken to buy and then season it. But this one was a regular chicken that has been seasoned to make this dish. It was not bad to be honest. I really can't taste much of a difference, but for my mom who knows how to cook, she is picky.

We got the soup dumplings, the fried eggplant, and the shrimp fried rice to share because we were having dinner in a couple hours so we didn't want to fill up and it was the perfect amount of food and actually super tasty. Highly recommend!

Truffle & kurobuta XLB: They are known for their soup dumplings so I highly recommend! The truffle was not overpowering and very delish. They are pretty big in size too. Kimchi & pork mandoo: Get the mandoo pan seared because it comes topped with a crispy layer! Bibimmen: A must! If you like noodles dishes this is for you! Waiter said this is always ordered for the table. Mixing in the egg yolk made everything creamy. Dombe guksu: Also another fav of mine! Also cause I love soup. Came with lots of pulled pork. The texture of their hand-pulled noodles are perfection! Cabbage tofu pockets: I could've skipped this. But this is great if you are vegetarian. Light and refreshing. Narara wings: No complaints. Nice twist on an asian style wing. Comes topped with pickled onions and radish. Galbi cargot: Meat version of escargot. The table loved this! SUPER cheesy. Not recommended if lactose intolerant. Crabby clam puffs: I love any version of a crab rangoon. Filling is more crab meat than cream cheese.

The food was excellent, and I would have to say my favorite item was the bao buns. The beef bao was both soft and tender while packing an endless amount of flavor in those tiny little bites. I also helped myself to the desert section at the end, and those chocolate covered strawberries were to die for lol.

We definitely felt full by the end of the meal, which was surprising because it is usually hard to feel full off sushi. I have been to the NYC location before, and I will say I enjoyed my meal at the Chicago location significantly more. In terms of drinks, the cocktails were well made. However, the shots were pretty watered down, which was disappointing. It's definitely an aesthetic spot. However, the biggest downside is the service. We were a relatively large party but were on time for our reservation, and we still had to wait over a half hour before we were even seated. Service throughout the night took an extremely long time, and we were starving before we even saw any signs of food.

We went for Happy Hour and were seated at the bar because all of the tables were apparently reserved. We were greeted by Adam who was the only server in the bar. For Happy Hour they have a few drink specials and all Small Plates are half off. We asked about GF options and he was not too helpful but we made it work. My wife started with a Ginger Pina Martini with grilled pineapple infused vodka. She loved it ,I thought it was too sour. I tried their Toshi Old Fashion with Iwai 45 which is a Japanese blended whiskey. Very good. For our small plates we had Spicey Tuna Crispy Rice,Chicken Lettuce Wraps,BBQ Lollipops and a Philadelphia Roll. Hands down our favorite were the BBQ lollipops..sliced New York strip wrapped around lemongrass with a delicious sauce. On Tuesdays they offer half price rolls which makes us want to go back as some of their signature rolls sounded amazing.

The duck bao buns came two per order and had a sauce to melt the flavor of the duck in your mouth. The shishido peppers came with a sauce that was creamy and complimentary. They have sushi boats that come with four rolls, but I opted to eat three. All of our selection of rolls was pretty and filling. Some ordered hot plates and the portions were grand and they were delicious. We went for a birthday and ordered two desserts. The ube cheesecake didn't have the blueberries on there, as the photos suggested it would, but still tasted great. The chocolate peanut butter cake was also good, but wasn't considered a favorite. Our server Ayden was helpful and got our food out quickly. His service was pretty good and he was friendly. This was lively for a night that was -10 Fahrenheit! It was so busy, so that tells you it's a great restaurant, and I agree.
