The Only Charcoal-Fired Korean BBQ in Downtown Chicago 🔥

Folks, I went to this place a long time ago and had a pretty bad experience. But last week, I decided to give them another chance — and it turned out to be a much better visit! Plus, they use real charcoal (which feels like a luxury here in Chicago 😅). Let’s be real though — this place isn’t cheap! At this price, you could get better BBQ in the suburbs (like Glenview, Niles, etc.). But if you don’t want to leave the city, it’s still a solid option. 🏮 Name: San Soo Gab San 💰 Per person: $30–50 (depends on how much meat you order) 👍 Recommended dishes: Wang Galbi (왕갈비), Kimchi Jjigae (김치찌개) 🐄 Their beef is better — not really recommended to order pork here. If you're craving pork, head to 336 KBBQ instead! #Foodie #ChicagoEats #KoreanBBQ #ChicagoFood #StudentEats #CharcoalGrill
