Kimbop — Restaurant in Wheeling Township

Got the bulgogi kimbop and some sweet and spicy fried chicken tenders.

Let me start with bulgogi kimbop. This ain’t your local Korean grocery store skinny little guy. If I want a skinny little guy with two slivers of carrot and booger sized portions of beef, I’m going to the grocery store, not a restaurant. This place does it right. This is a wide roll loaded with the goodies on the inside. Wide but still balanced. No ingredients is overpowering the other, the kimbop melody is being played in my mouth.

The sweet and spicy chicken tenders…very crispy and crunchy, but absolutely not to a fault. The chicken had sauce on it, but it wasn’t smothered in the sauce, yielding in a balance where you can feel and taste the textures of the chicken meat, while enjoying the crunchy sweetness and subtle spiciness. One of the best chickens I’ve had in a while.

Ambience is quaint and warm but also has some flashing lights that kids would enjoy. Great place to...

Tucked into a strip mall, it would have been easy to miss this cute little gem serving up Korean street food , sushi rolls, and the famed Korean fried chicken. Walking in, it looked like a one of those little snack shops you see in K-drama with the posters and colorful decor. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Service was excellent. We had a minor hiccup, but staff was great, communicative and more than made up for it by their attentiveness. We ate in, but the whole time there was nonstop walk in, pick up, and dashers. Go early, they are so popular that they run out at the end of the night. We had the bone in fried chicken, sweet onion and sweet and spicy sauce- crispy batter and super tender fall off bone chicken. We also had their bibimbop- beef, generous with toppings and veggies. Our surprise favorite was a comp’d sweet onion boki. Chewy and flavorful surprise! So glad we stopped and found...

DELICIOUS!

I work in the area and decided to try this place for lunch. I've never had it but I decided to try the Korean items on the menu. I decided to do take out and all the food was packaged for transport and everything was still hot when I opened it up to eat. I got the Bulgogi (Marinated beef) Kimbop, Ddukkbokki (Spicy Rice Cakes) and an order of kimchi. Bulgogi was very flavorful and I loved the texture and flavor of the other vegetables. Think of a sushi roll but warm with meat and veggies. The spicy rice cakes were chewy and delicious. The sauce was flavorful but not too spicy where you couldn't eat it. Kimchi was crunchy and tangy! I will absolutely be coming back and will try other things on the menu.

The man who helped me when I picked up my food up was so friendly and nice. I would love to come and eat in to take in more of the vibe. Restaurant was smaller but had a fun and...
