I'd been eyeing this restaurant for a long time, and I'm so glad I finally went. The drink menu had tons of great options--all of them looked amazing. I went with my go-to, the traditional mango smoothie with boba, and it was perfect. I also tried the recommended Galaxy Lemonade, which was refreshing. As for the food, both dishes hit the spot. The beef bulgogi was flavorful, and the spicy chicken buldak had a nice kick that built up gradually, it got spicier the more I ate. I'm not sure if you can request spice levels. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They helped me choose a drink. The space was clean, including the bathrooms, and most of the restaurant was accessible. Bonus: there's convenient parking in the back. I'll definitely be back read more

Me and the wife went for a late lunch and enjoyed the choices of meals. I enjoyed the Bogo beef while she enjoyed the spicy chicken. The workers are very friendly and very informative on the choice of the food. I got the tropical lemonade to drink while she enjoyed the strawberry Boba, which were both excellent We'll have to try again read more

I made it there despite of major road construction in the area. It was during a weeknight, and the restaurant was not very busy. I got my orders very fast. Not a huge selection of dinner options but sufficient. Drink selections are better. read more

Great customer service, very fast and friendly, great flavor and food! Every chance I get I come back.

The service was smiley and so cute! The bulgogi was smokey and delicious with the house sauce. My husband had the spicey chicken, he loved it-- the consistency of the chicken wasn't for me, but take that with a grain of salt bc I'm pregnant and picky. Drinks were beautiful and tasty! Knocked it down a star bc we hoped for more toppings.. some kimchi, egg, that sort of thing! Would definitely go again before a show at Rialto. read more

The drinks were very good though a little expensive. While they looked aesthetic, having all the syrup at the bottom was very sweet, so we had to mix them up quite a bit to actually drink and enjoy it. Otherwise very good and in walking distance from the library and other places! Also very fast service! read more

Great food and really good mango smoothies with black bobbas. I would highly recommend getting the beef bowl with the fresh vegetables.

First time here today! Everything looked so tasty, I got the Japchae bowl with spicy pork and it was absolutely delicious! The ladies were super kind and helped me pick out something I would like. I will be back again! Huge portions also! read more

Newer looking restaurant. It's really nice, clean and ambient inside and out. Staff is friendly for the most part. Large and really clean bathrooms. Outdoor seating isn't bad. It's a bit pricey though and there really isn't too many customers either which is kind of a bummer it's a great place to check out! read more

What an amazing place to eat! The great food is only half the story, the ladies that run the restaurant are the nicest people you will ever meet. I had the Bolgogi rice bowl (amazing) and the Honeydew Bubble Tea (recommended by the ladies) I was skeptical because I like honeydew, but it was delicious.

Had the Bulgogi Beef with the noodles it was really good. The ladies who work there are super nice and helpful. The amount of beef you get on your bowl would put Chipotle to shame! Portions were great and definitely worth the money! If you are in the downtown area of Joliet you should 100 percent stop in! read more

Driving by this restaurant, I thought to myself; finally I can get some good barbque in Joliet! To my dismay after eating at this place I'm left with nothing but disappointment. We ordered the rib tip and wing dinner, we must have ordered the wrong items because nothing was enjoyable (fries were good). Rib tips were tough, breading on chicken was gummy and not fried all the way through ( couldn't eat it), sauce was entirely too sweet. Let me just say, I'm so glad chicken and spice was next door. read more

Wonderful food and great service! The lovely ladies behind the counter were very helpful and kind.

My daughters loved their boba! The staff is extremely friendly. Parking is not the best though when it gets crowded

This place gives you a huge amount of food ! I ordered 4 dinner plates and drove there with my daughter, as she loves Korean food and has it often at college. Not much in this area, but decided to give it a try. Ordered the Spicy Jayuk pork plate for my son. He enjoyed it. Wife had the Soy garlic chicken plate which she liked. I had the Bulgolgi beef platter which I liked . Did not get the brown rice I ordered( was given white) , also found the beef to be a bit on the dry side. Daughter ordered the Galbi beef shortrib plate which she powered down quickly. The next day she finished leftovers from my wife's garlic chicken. So that should tell you about the quality of food here. Sides were interesting. Kimchi was good as was the korean slaw. Pickled radishes were good too. Not sure what my family had for sides. When we walked in we were the only customers picking up. Restaurant was empty but the owners appeared to filling other carryout orders. Service was pleasant as husband and wife owners both had masks and gloves on. The wife was cleaning counters, while he was boxing other orders. Very friendly people. Price for 4 dinners was high, about $45 but inline with the tons of food they give you. If you Korean, this is a place to try! Recommended by my daughter who loves Korean food and eats much Korean style food in college, and yes she uses chopsticks , even at home. read more

Great place for lunch or dinner! I highly recommend them. The food is really good and they're super nice. We ordered bulgogi, kimchi, and pickled garlic. Everything was great! The bulgogi is tender and delicious. We're used to getting authentic homemade Korean food, so we're familiar with the cuisine and this is legitimately great Korean food. We liked that they offer different sauces so you can pick something mild and flavorful or a spicy sauce depending on your preference. The only thing that was different than we're used to was the strawberry bubble tea which was more like a smoothie, but they use real strawberries so the flavor is great. I'll get the milk tea next time, which is what I'm used to. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great food. Kimchi was awesome. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Specialty drinks were awesome.

Finally got to try Yura Nuna out, wish we didn't wait so long! The owners/chefs are as sweet as can be, the food is made fresh to order, and everything was delicious. Unless you're a 6'-4" rapidly growing 17yo like our son, the bowls are more than enough for two meals. Already looking to go back! read more

Hidden Gem I've heard of this place but never given it much thought Have to give the wife credit it was her suggestion I got the spicy pork bbq she got the beef Portions were huge and delicious the sides were very good we had the kimchi, coleslaw and pickled radishes all very good and for the price about $21 it was great The only thing i would mention is the pork was fatty but I didn't mind I think it gave it a good flavor kind of like fat in bacon Side note we did curb side pick up and they came out in mask and gloves with food packaged nicely I'll be back here read more

It's awesome to have a taste of Korea in the area. They have a nice selection of meats and meal options with nice portions. The even have bubble teas and smoothies! Great place! read more

If you're looking to get full for a good value, K BBQ in Joliet is the Spot. The BBQ ribs, bulgogi beef, rice, Korean slaw, French fries and smoothie were all Top notch cuisine, possibly the best overall place for Food in the entire Will county! remember to add tapioca to the smoothie, you won't be disappointed. The employees were so kind and checked on us to make sure everything was up to par and they could not have been sweeter human beings. The interior is spotless, and dining inside was incredibly cozy for me, my wife and 5yr old daughter. I could go on all night raving about the Smoked BBQ ribs and Bulgogi beef, and the awesome korean slaw and smoothie were toppers on the cake. I love this restaurant and will be back once a week until my time expires. Thanks so much for the outstanding meal and experience K BBQ! read more

Not bad for under $10 could use more rice though. I think this is the only Korean place in Joliet read more

If you've never stopped in, you're missing out!!! Everything I've ever tried here, has been DELICIOUS! The rib tips were tender and Smokey! The beef short ribs were extremely tender and flavorful. Fried wings, French fries and coleslaw were all delicious. There was a bowl my husband tried ~ had chicken that was from the grill with a nice sweet sauce!! OMG!! Delish!! There was another plate with a grilled beef. The sauce added a nice hint of sweetness that complimented the smoke. Don't forget to try their homemade lemonade! Tart and sweet with a hint of fresh ginger!! The owners are very patient and cordial. Did I mention how clean the establishment is? There's always nice jazz playing! I highly recommend K Ribs BBQ! read more

My daughter discovered this fabulous restaurant on Yelp and we were so intrigued. We came her for lunch on Saturday and ate our brains out, everything I put in my mouth was delicious. I am planning a return trip because the bugolgi rice bowl was the best rice bowl I have ever consumed. It was so flavorful with a variety of textures. I also ate one wing which I enjoyed but I would probably not order again. I am not really a wing gal. I couldn't decide between the homemade lemonade and the organic ginger lemon hot tea, so I had both. I am really glad I did. I would order both again, they were that good. The employees could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Nice bathroom, clean restaurant. Just an all around terrific experience. read more

Run don't walk to this delicious surprise in downtown Joliet. Ate here with my family tonight and it was fabulous. All the flavors were fresh and bright and Rich. Several of us had the bulgogi. The vegetables on top we're crunchy and flavorful. The bulgogi was Tangy and tender with a delicious marinade. We had a side of kimchi that was just the right amount of spicy. I had the spicy chicken platter with more kimchi and pickled radishes. Radishes were so good. The chicken was in a sweet and spicy sauce and was an ample portion. It was served in a cute bento box. We talked to the owner about the restaurant. Great service and a nice local family to support. Will be back and you should come to. Best Korean food we've had in the decade in Chicagoland. All 3 kids loved it. read more

The rice bowl with pork is awesome and I order it once or twice a week. It's so good I'm afraid to order something else. Recently they expanded the menu so it seems more good things to come. They have an array of sauces from mild to hot although "hot" is always relative so basically not that hot but very tasty. It may be a place you really love or hate if you are not used to Korean-style cooking. I have found all the ingredients to be fresh, properly cooked and well prepared. read more

Absolutely delicious!!! I ordered the Galbi beef short rib. Very very good. Came with a soft fresh bun and being the boring person I am two steamed rice. I also had the fried whole wings. The breading was light and airy and the bbq sauce was pretty decent. A little on the sweets side but then again this is Korean. Very good. Would definitely come back. I find it odd that this place fries chicken better than chicken n spice. Who in my opinion has terrible dried out rancid chicken. read more

I saw this place from google was looking for a korean cuisine around Joliet Area and came across with this. I give it a try and i was so surprised. It is legit korean food that you don't have to cook it yourself. Some reviews i saw said its kinda pricey but for me it is just a good price for a very good food. My husband and I love this place. Would totally recommend!!!!! read more

K Ribs does an excellent job with a relatively simple menu. We stopped in for dinner, and sampled quite a few things - kalbi, bulgogi, chicken wings, kimchi, and Korean slaw... Everything was delicious and the gochujang sauce added a nice spice! The owners were also very friendly, and willing to do a half order of chicken wings so we could try those in addition to our meals. Great restaurant in the heart of the theater district - will definitely be returning next time I'm in the area! read more

WOW! Best wings and Korean food EVER. Spicy pork and rice with kimchi and Korean slaw is a pepper heads dream. I love spicy food and this was AWESOME! First time getting carryout. They have curbside service. Nice people and great food. I didn't take pictures because we ate it all. We also had pickled garlic that was tasty. My husband doesn't like spicy so he had the bolgogi beef. He said it was good but chewy. I thought everything was really good. We will be back. The wings were amazing! read more

I'm honestly perplexed. I want to interview the people who gave 5 stars and "best evar!1" reviews to see what other things in life wow them. I've eaten here twice now and both times was extremely underwhelming. I went in and ordered the ribs over the weekend and got nervous when the boy behind the counter replied "just a couple of minutes". I was like... seriously? A whole slab of ribs and french fries is only going to take a couple of minutes? So nothing is fresh, got it. I got home with tough ribs that were barely warm and half-covered in bbq sauce (some parts were dry) and fries that were incredibly underwhelming. I had to preheat my convection oven and bake my food for 15 minutes on 450 degrees just to have a hot dinner. Okay. The time before that I had ordered the Bulgogi. It was also tough in texture and consistency (strange since they claim it's ribeye which is the most tender, juicy, flavourful piece of beef) .... and packed with flavour. Like, I love spice and flavour but give me a break. You might as well dump a TON of salt and other spices into a sauce and make me drink that. That's what the food was like. Who knows what meat was actually under ALL that spice, what's sad is you could never tell because they killed the meat all over again. So yeah, I don't understand all the positive reviews. Then again, I'm from a big city where there are lots of middle eastern and mexican and asian restaurants and lots of great food, so when I move to a small town like Joliet and see "wow this is great!" on restaurants with mediocre or bad food I'm like, oh, I guess it makes sense at least somewhat. What have you got to compare it to? Fast food chains? Meh. Will not return. Not ever. Would not recommend. read more

Found an awesome new restaurant. The beef which was recommended was incredible their homemade coleslaw is delicious as is there Korean coleslaw little sweet little hot perfect. Then we had the Mayoi88f sauce the soy garlic the red hot sauce and the Korean BBQ all of which were awesome as well. Can't wait to come back here. Thank you for the great service read more
