Whitney Ross: Seoul steak bowl with brown rice - it just might be the stuff dreams are made of!
Tammy: Crisp BBQ wings are tasty, but sauce can get overwhelming with flavor. Good balance is the the Seoul Sassy. Make sure to dip fries in atomic sauce! Steak sandwich is basically a kalbi sandwich. YUM.

Jake Smith: The grilled flank steak was delectable, and it came with tortillas (to make tacos out of the dish). I will also endorse the guacamole, but you were going to get that already, right?
Linda Felter: Highly recommend the flank steak and the memelas! Good stuff!
Allison Kaminski: Order the waiters recommendation since the menu is always changing! Trust me everything is good here!
Cedric A.: Check out the panhandler (steak, onions and green peppers) and the joe's (corned beef hash) skillets! Fast and personable service, will be back...
Arlyne Chin: One of my favorite breakfast spots in Chicago. The staff is super nice!
Bobby Vydra: So many options to choose from, you can enjoy something new every time. Amazing skillets and everything else is great and affordable.
