Hwang Soh Grill 황소 그릴 ( 곱창, 대창, 막창 Korean BBQ) — Restaurant in Niles Township

I used to live in Korea so I often miss the Korean food there and want to go to different restaurants to have the food. After looking on Google I decided on Hwang Soh Grill for the high ratings, but the experience was just okay. It was just two of us. We are “foreigners” and it was my friend’s first experience with Kbbq and Korean food. We ordered 2 servings of SamgyeopSal, a sprite , and two bowls of rice. Our entire order came to about $50 dollars. I do not recall if gratuity was included, but I’ve read the review that some customers were charged gratuity. The side dishes were pretty good, we were also given two cups of water (they did not offer refills of water to us while we ate). The samgyeopsal was pretty bland in taste. I think only pepper was added. They do grill the meat for you. However, the server grilling for us became busy as more people arrived and we ended up turning the grill off and turning the meat ourselves to avoid burning our meat. Since we could see that others had came in and were waiting to be seated we planned to prepare to leave. We were not there long. We came in after many parties and left before them as well. Without asking a server came to our table and put the meat in our plates and took the grilling tray. Then we were brought our check. When I went up to pay, it was a bit awkward. I don’t know who the man behind the counter responsible for cashing us out was, but he looked strangely at my receipt after I signed and said “No tip?” I shook my head politely even though now was really uncomfortable and awkward. And then he rudely stated, “we neeeeed tip!” I was very shocked that he would say something like this. I was also confused as this is not how we go about our tipping culture here in the States and the tipping culture in restaurants in Korea is nonexistent. So what made him think it was okay to demand a tip from a customer? I am not sure and cannot answer that question. Anyways, I told this bold man that an additional tip could not be demanded from a customer. I returned to my table and me and my friend exited the building. I didn’t even wait to put my jacket on before leaving. I am so sad that my friends first experience with Korean food and culture was like this. Lastly, I do have some tip for you here. If you want people to tip you and give you more of their hard earned money, you have to provide the best service and experience for each customer. Tips are not something you should automatically be given. It is for going above and beyond for...

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The food, the atmosphere and especially the people that work there will literally make you feel like home. Literally I feel like I’m eating food at a family gathering in a good way where your mom or auntie cooks your favorite food. They also installed the new grill by yourself area as another option, ughh i love!!! They listen to their customer wants and needs. I can’t stress enough how much I love this place. We come here at least once a month if not twice. I brought all my friends and family here and everyone is obsessed and in love with this place. I tried almost everything on the menu and everything is amazing!!!! I would say my always go to are the intestines, beef tongue, wagyu beef, pork belly - like these are soooooo good!!

I try not to gatekeep this place when friends ask for good Korean BBQ recs… but it’s always the first one that comes to mind. Every visit has been an incredible experience — from the amazing food to the genuinely warm and friendly service.

The flavors here are just on another level. I’d post pics, but we devoured everything before I even thought of taking any — that’s how good it was. Their food selection is top-tier, and everything tastes super fresh and well-prepared.

If you’re going, I highly recommend the Kobe Wagyu brisket — melt-in-your-mouth delicious — and any of their cold buckwheat noodle soups as a starter. Refreshing, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the rich BBQ.

Also, shoutout to their complimentary side dishes (banchan). So many Korean restaurants serve the usual suspects, but here they actually taste freshly made and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell there’s care in the details.

Service is always friendly and attentive without feeling rushed. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, they make you feel like a valued guest.

If you haven’t been, you’re seriously missing out — and if you have, you know what I’m talking about. This...
