KAI MOM'S K-FOOD TOGO — Restaurant in Schaumburg Township

Different styles of Korean as it's a great party/take out food. Pan fried and not fire BBQ like most Korean restaurants but it works as you get the sauce for the meats like that spicy pork bulgogi as you have to go spicy hot if you go Korean. Dukbokki is a must if dinning in as it has fish cake which is the best. I finally got to try the Korean bone-in chicken and had to try the hottest. Well I guess the owner made it mild because of the people but I was hoping it was like H-mart the good extra hot Gochujang with that sweet, spicy, and savory sticky sauce. I guess next time I need to really specify I need the good stuff. The sauce on there is great and has a little spicy sweet orange taste like what you get at a better quality Asian buffet or PF Chang's that actually puts effort in quality. So it's crispy, sticky on the fingers with the sauce, and meat is just right and not dry or over oiled fried that you taste oil and not the chicken flavor. I like it better than Wingstop or Wild Buffalo. Great size for the meat. Again I love the sticky sauce as it gets around the mouth with that sweet spicy flavor you lick off and feel some burn. For the weaker person just get the boneless so you can use a fork or chopsticks and get some rice. The Dukbokki is a perfect side if you want to keep the spicy going for the brave. The only problem due to the location is no Korean alcohol unless you come here after drinking. This is great for takeout and you should hit an Asian market to get the alcohol and do some karaoke if you have it at a party or chilling at home. Again this reminds me of what you would get at a Korean club to sing karaoke and drink Soju or some of the younger people drinks. Again you get a lot for your money so be kind and give a good tip to this mom-and-pop restaurant so they can keep the prices and the amount you get...

Very mom and pop type of Korean place, with all your standard Korean dishes. Mainly a carryout restaurant, so don't expect big tables and overly attentive table service. That said, the food is great! The seafood pancakes are the best I've had, especially if you like it crispy and chunky with lots of shrimp and squid. I also especially loved the soup of the galbitang (short rib soup), highly recommend both.

Be careful around meal time rushes, as they can get very very busy and order times get a bit long. The ladies there work hard!

Edit: they have reopened after being closed for many months under new ownership. Still good! Be advised, there are literally 2 tables here, total seating for 6. Always expect that you may need to get carry out if the seats...

This location is tucked away in a strip mall and while it's not the most glamorous on the outside, let me tell you about what a gem this place is. Food is superb, service is excellent and the two ladies that work there are so sweet. They really take care of their customers and the food always comes out fresh, with a definite authentic taste.

Eating area is not huge but I would say can house at least 10 tables or so, most people tend to get this place a take out, but dining is definitely doable as I've done so with friends.

It's a shame that the owner got hurt, I hope she recovers soon, and hopefully when able, can reopen this place, as it's quickly become a local favorite for us that enjoy great authentic Korean food at a...
