Chicago's First Snow ❄️ Warm Ginseng Chicken Soup Time 🍲

Chicago’s first snow arrived with Halloween 🎃 Watching the snow fall outside, all I craved was a warm, comforting bowl of soup — so my friend and I headed straight to Ssyal, a 30-year-old Korean restaurant specializing in homegrown ginseng 🇰🇷 They offer two types of samgyetang: Regular ginseng chicken soup Premium version with medicinal herbs Both come with brown rice 🍚 We also tried the seafood pancake and spicy stir-fried squid — both tasty! The spicy pork was lean and flavorful (similar sauce to the squid).😊🙌 Every table gets 4 complimentary banchan (refillable!). Overall, simple, homestyle flavors — just what we needed on a cold day.😍 Perfect for warming up during a Chicago winter! 【Ssyal】 📍 4201 W Lawrence Ave, Chicago, IL 60630 #ChicagoEats #KoreanFood #ComfortFood #WinterWarmers #Samgyetang #ChicagoWinter 🍲
