서울설렁탕 korean Beef Soup — Restaurant in Maine Township

Located in the former Assi Plaza food court and now named Park and Shop (store). Don’t be deceived by its unassuming facade. Wow wow wow truly gourmet. This place trumps all. The BEST Korean food in Chicago. As a native Korean and avid foodie I hold high standards for Korean cuisine. This joint offers the best favors and uses high quality ingredients of all the places I have been to in the state. The kimchi is homemade, you can tell. It’s so delicious and yet not drenched in salt and sugar, so healthy tasting yet light and flavorful. High quality, authentic, no skimping (generous portions- yay) and even greater prices (what?). It’s a hole in the wall, mom & pop shop and I can’t get enough of it. I would eat here everyday if I could. I want to give the owner and the cook a big hug, thank you thank you thank you. And please...

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!! If I wanted this many noodles, I would’ve just ordered ramyun. The budae jjigae was overloaded with noodles, and the beef broth had no flavor whatsoever. The bulgogi was mostly onions—completely disappointing. To make matters worse, a staff member made a rude and offensive comment, saying, “You must be Mongolian.” Even if I were, that shouldn’t matter—customers are the ones bringing in the business and the money. I ordered three dishes and only asked for a refund on two of them, but they still refused. The lack of respect and basic customer service was shocking. This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I’ve ever had at a Korean restaurant. Absolutely disgusting. I will be reporting this place to the Better...

Excellent value, quality, portion & menu! Each order serves 2.

My first Korean GOAT SOUP — smells like a goat, it must be goat. No different than goat cheese. When you eat it, it's not so goaty anymore. The smell is scarier than the taste. Paired with interesting Weedy Kimchi (another first). I have never seen that brown condiment with pin dot balls.

OXTAIL SOUP is heavy with garlic. Don't let looks deceive you. Good portion of oxtail meat that pairs well with lightly sweet radish kimchee.

TO GO orders are well packaged that it was still warm an hour after. No side dish...
