Chicago｜S-Tier Fried Rice Hidden in My Favorite BBQ Spot 🍚

Chicago Kalbi is my absolute favorite Japanese-style barbecue in Chicago! The honest, homestyle flavors of their simple dishes really hit the spot—if it weren’t so far from home, I’d eat here every day! Must-Tries: 🍛 Secret Fried Rice Ask the owner if it’s available—if she says yes, you’re in for a lucky day! You’ll taste the best fried rice in Chicago. I’m obsessed with their shrimp and egg fried rice—full of wok hei and a bold peppery kick. 🦪 Oyster Omelette A combo I’d never tried before! Fresh oysters, silky eggs, and a tangy sauce that cuts through the richness perfectly. 🥩 Prime Ribeye Thin Cut Tender, juicy, and gloriously fatty—pure, straightforward joy! Every bite leaves me craving more. 🥗 Beef Tripe Salad Refreshing and delicious! A must-order every time I visit. 🐮 Beef Tartare Outshines every Korean restaurant’s version—please give it a try! You won’t regret it. 🍗 Chicken Thigh Surprisingly tender and way tastier than expected! The only downside is it’s a bit pricey for chicken. Other dishes like gyoza, miso soup, and stir-fried beef tripe with green onion are also fantastic. Every meal at Chicago Kalbi leaves me happily stuffed, deeply satisfied, and feeling right at home. #ChicagoEats #BBQ #JapaneseBarbecue #HiddenGem #ComfortFood #ChicagoFoodie #MustTry
