TO SOC CHON | Hidden Gem Korean Soup House in Chicago’s
A family-run Korean soup spot about a 20-minute drive from Evanston, specializing in offal soup, pork bone soup, and beef bone soup. The interior is traditional yet clean, and you can feel the care put into every detail — from ingredient prep (especially the offal) to the banchan side dishes. They even offer single-serving pork bone soup, perfect for a comforting solo meal! 🍖 Must-Try Dishes: 🌟 Special Beef Bone Soup — comes with three tender, flavorful beef bones. The star is the pickled Napa cabbage cooked until soft — slightly tangy but never overpowering. 🌟 Single-Serving Pork Bone & Potato Soup — perfect portion, pork is tender with no gaminess. The broth is different from the beef version (no pickled cabbage). 🌟 Signature Offal Soup — I don’t eat offal, but my friend said it’s cleaned very well. Milky white broth loaded with chives and white pepper — very fragrant! 🍚 Their rice is also amazing — plump, soft, and slightly chewy! 🥘 Besides single-serve soups, they also offer pork bone hotpot with add-ons like rice cakes (highly recommend adding them!). 💰 Price: ~$20 after tax — such good value! 📍 Address: See P4 for details 📍 #ChicagoKoreanFood #ChicagoNorthSuburbsEats #PorkBoneSoup #BeefBoneSoup
