I had the Bibimbop, and it was awesome. The bowl comes out screaming hot, sizzling with the wonderful aroma of korean spices. I found this place by accident, but it turned out to be a great find. I can’t wait to go back.

This is the best Korean fast food I had. The owner was nice. He was closing when we came in, without hesitation he welcomed us in. The food sizzles at the table. It was yummy. I recommend highly. You get a Complete meal for 12 bucks.

This place seriously needs a fluent english speaking person who can take orders well. The lady messed up an order of mine and demanded me to pay extra for the correct order especially when 10 min of my time was wasted. That already makes me NOT want to go back. Food was decent though but the place needs better service.

Great little place. Easiest if you already know what to order and are somewhat familiar with Korean cuisine. Prices are pretty on par. Food was great!

This used to be a place we’d come to after church for breakfast now a Korean place. As a person that speaks another language I do understand a language barrier at times, we had a difficult time ordering, iced tea or hot tea no water I can give to my child… Because of the language barrier no other options besides what pictures are on the wall nor to change one item… the lady who took our order just didn’t get it. I have a picky 5 year old that wanted Ramen noodles but not any of the green veggies, she acknowledge, read our order back and it still came out wrong. We didn’t even bother since she didn’t really understand us, more food than I can handle, besides I already paid first and I was forced to eat all of what we ordered especially when others ordered wasn’t all correct. Too bad cuz the food was decent considering, before I do forget if your Korean then you’ll definitely like it here since they cater better to them I noticed

I ordered a beef bibim bap and got to work and no meat. Tried calling to talk to them and they were clueless. Hardly any meat nit sure what is going on. Will not be going back

We live in the neighborhood and it was great to see a korean restaurant open up! This place is self service and the food is good. It is great for a quick bite and the place is pretty clean.

A hidden Korean gem! As a Korean, I approve. Korean style pay up at the front with a picture menu. Very clean atmosphere, and prices are comparable to most Korean restaurants. Whenever you need a solid Korean meal fix without waiter hassle– this is a good spot. Dolsot bibimbap: this dish is my go to for Korean restaurants, and Go Goo Ma perfected it. Sizzling with the egg still runny on top and lots and lots of veggies– just how I like it! Complimentary side dishes include soup, cabbage salad, and radish kimchi. These weren’t the best, but not bad either. I will be back when I’m craving some traditional Korean food!

Great food. I would come again. If you like to be waited on then this is not the restaurant for you. I highly recommend the Kimchi stew! Very clean restaurant.

Much better than what I expected. A small restaurant ran by a couple. The place is not fancy but clean and neat. You place your order in a counter, wait for it’s ready and clean up after you finish. Food are tasty. We had seven people. We all had different dishes. All of them are delicious. I saw a lot of Korean customers during dinner time on a Wednesday. Their food must be authentic and good. I like their Bibimbap in a stone bowl more than the one in Assi. Highly recommend.

I TRIED — Tteokbokki(Rice Cake in Spicy Sauce)(5⁄10) — Jjolmyeon(Chewy Noodle in Sweet/Spicy Sauce)(5⁄10) — Chul Pan Jae Yook(Sliced Marinated Pork)(8⁄10) — Mool Nengmyun(Buckwheat Noodle in Cold Broth)(4⁄10) — Bibimbap(Rice Mixed w. Stuff)(7⁄10) Had lunch here for my mom’s birthday. I’m really not sure why she wanted to come here when I offered several other nice places. Hell, even Royal Buffet or Chef Pings would have made more sense! I think she just wanted good Korean Restaurant food, but oh well. This place confused the crap out of me. It runs like the food court at Assi or H-Mart. You go up there, look at the pictures of food, order what you want, pay right away, and then wait for them to call your number to go pick up food at the window. Then when you’re done, you put it back. Now, I see why this works at a food court, but this is a freaking standalone restaurant! It’s like they think the food court style of serving is a real seller or something! Am I too old to appreciate this? You know, in Korea, in the markets, there’re tiny little tent restaurants all over the place with like 2 – 3 tables. They don’t have any space, so they all specialize in something. One tent does tteokbokki, and pretty much only serves that with a couple sides. One tent does ho-tteok, etc. Sure, they run food court style too, but people don’t go there because they want to listen for their name and go get their food. They do it because, for some reason, the food there is AWESOME, and they’ll deal with any inconveniences to get the food… well, at least for tourists like me it’s awesome. TTEOKBOKKI The tteok is very soft and easy to split by squeezing with your chopstick. The sauce has a little kick, but it’s also a bit sweet. I actually got Rabokki, which is the same thing, but add ramen noodles. That was my favorite part, back in the Kokiri Mandu days! The kick, though, wasn’t something that you tasted throughout, but more it sorta hit on its way out. I wasn’t a big fan of that, but nothing wrong. It’s not bad, but not anything special either. JJOLMYEON Ever since Senoya left, Chicago has had a void where their jjolmyeon used to be. Jjolmyeon isn’t something I’d order for myself. Even back in the Kokiri days, someone used to order it for the purpose of sharing, while we’d eat other entrees. I thought maybe, we found a place that could fill the void, but nope. Their jjolmyeon has all the right ingredients, but something about isn’t prepared quite right. Sure, you have to mix it yourself, but it wasn’t cold enough and flavors weren’t quite infused enough. Some bites just tasted like plain noodle. CHULPANJAEYOOK I’ve never heard it said this way, but it’s basically thinly sliced marinated pork. It tasted pretty good! I actually got some pretty good pork flavors in the meat, and the marinade was pretty spot on. It was spicy, salty, maybe even a little sweet, but also savory! That went so well with the rice! For the price, this is a pretty good deal, because I got a decent serving! MOOLNENGMYUN I’m not sure if they pre-vinegared it but I didn’t have to add any! That worries me a bit, because not everyone likes the same amount of vinegar. It also tasted like it wasn’t just straight vinegar, and it was maybe some apple vinegar or one of those weird things. It tasted ok, just that there was a barely noticeable fruity persuasion in it. Also, this should be served ICE cold, like… with ice! It was cold, but just not enough to fully enjoy it. Again, this wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t anything special either. BIBIMBAP I’m not sure how you can really make bad bibimbap. You get rice, vegetables, cook some bulgogi, add gochujang and sesame oil, voila! The things that make it is what you decide goes in it, and the quality of those veggies. Well, uh, everything here was just standard, and tasted fine. DON’T GOGOOMA Even though it got 3 stars, the whole experience was more of a 2. None of the food was impressive, but that’s what I expect at Korean food courts in Chicago. Just like food courts, you don’t get any banchan either, except 1 — kakdoogi. I’d rather go to Assi or HMart. This is a waste of time.

Great food for the price, if you want a fast Korean food fix, this is the place to go. Order your food up at the counter and pick it up at the counter.
