Chicago Korean Food｜New Spot Nailing Both Vibes & Flavor 🐯

This newly opened Korean restaurant in West Town instantly caught my attention with its minimalist style and cozy atmosphere. Seating is limited but the window tables are bright and sunny. They serve beautifully presented banchan to start, and while the menu isn’t long, every dish is solid — perfect for dates, friend hangs, or casual drinks! ✨ Top Picks: 🍲 Galbijjim (Braised Short Rib) Tender, fall-off-the-bone short ribs braised in a rich, slightly sweet sauce with potatoes and carrots. So comforting and perfect over rice — each bite is pure happiness! 🌶️ Spicy Chicken Incredibly flavorful and seriously addictive! Chicken and cabbage stir-fried in a spicy, savory sauce with serious wok hei. A total rice killer — you’ll want seconds for sure. 🥬 Ssam Platter Comes with fresh lettuce, assorted sauces, kimchi, and pickled peppers. DIY wrap-your-own-meat bites are fun, fresh, and help balance the heavier dishes. Even non-lettuce lovers will enjoy this! 🍸 Yuja Next Door (Yuzu Cocktail) Light, refreshing, and lightly bubbly with a subtle citrus aroma — not too sweet, great for sipping alongside food. Also super photogenic! 🥞 Chive Pancakes A bit oily but delicious — crispy edges and generously filled, especially tasty with dipping sauce. 📍 MISTER TIGER 🐯 ✅ 1132 W Grand Ave, Chicago, IL 60642 #ChicagoKoreanFood #ChicagoEats #ChicagoFoodie #UChicago #DowntownChicago 🍚🥢
