The restaurant helped popularize Korean-inspired street food, such as tacos filled with sesame-chili shrimp, tempura fish, grilled short rib, spicy barbecue pork and more. Read more

Sambal Fish Taco: The tempura frying method is an inspired choice, since it produces a particularly crackly crust. It easily stands up to spicy sambal sauce, losing none of its crunch along the way.

Get the jumbo "lollipopped" K-Town Chicken wings made with a sweet soy, chili, & garlic glaze.
Greg MacekApril 27, 2018
Tried the spicy BBQ pork and kalbi tacos. And the kimchi. All delicious and good portions/filling on the tacos.

I love deal Seoul, I go all the time! The staff are so helpful and are very knowledgable about the menu. A few of my favorites are spicy pork bento box, the chicken wings, and the grape sac sac drink

Short rib and chili shrimp tacos are insane. The poutine is an absolute must and has to be shared. A few bottles beer/wine options make this a legit dinner option. Although I prefer takeout.
Serious EatsAugust 19, 2011
Kalbi tacos (Korean short rib) and the sweet sesame-chili panko-encrusted shrimp taco. Get the kimchi fries too, topped with kimchi, pork, cheese, and sour cream (just trust me on this one). Read more

The shrimp taco is like the best thing ever. The blackened tofu taco is a great choice for vegetarians and definitely try the fries!!!! One of my favorite Lincoln park spots

Haddock fish taco - INCREDIBLE. Perfectly cooked, seasoned, garnished. The fish is the focus: crispy batter but very succulent white meat. Not greasy. Whatever you're ordering - tag on one of these.
GinaJanuary 18, 2015
Cheap but definitely authentic Korean food. You have to order at the register. Had the hot stone bowl bibimbap, my bf had the kimchi fried rice, and both were delicious. Would totally go here again!
Gerardo GonzalezJune 3, 2014
As everyone says...tacos amazing. Probably best fish taco I've had. A must-have! Kimchi fries were great too. Very interesting combo of ingredients.

The shrimp tacos are the best but the blackened tofu taco is amazing, too. Even if you hate tofu, it's magical. Trust me.
Terence ChanSeptember 23, 2018
The K-Town wings for sure! Dumplings were good as was the shrimp tacos! Kalbi taco too. 4.5/5
Joanne ReinardJuly 25, 2016
Funky little space and good fast-gastro-food. A lot of fried food though..and who closes a restaurant at 9.30pm (even drinks)?? At least staff is friendly and food tasty
Chicago TribuneNovember 7, 2017
Don’t overlook these delicious fries ($2.25) when ordering at this casual Lincoln Park restaurant. They may sound basic compared to other menu options but they are terrific. Read more
Serious EatsMay 2, 2013
All of the Korean-style tacos at Del Seoul are worth ordering, though make sure to order at least one fish taco.
Damon SununtnasukMarch 12, 2017
Great fried chicken wing lollipops and mandu (dumplings). Kimchi fries were a but eh
Sean Maccarone-ReedNovember 26, 2014
Try the Spicy Grilled Chicken Bulgogi. Awesome taste and a little kick in your mouth with the spices. Delish!
CJanuary 16, 2012
Shrimp & Kalbi tacos are super tasty ! Got to have the dumplings & kimchi fries on the side too ! So yummy.
Grace MJune 27, 2016
Def the fish tacos and kimichie fries!!! Also the veggie tacos :)
Michael HaaralaOctober 17, 2016
Great local beer selection and unique Korean fusion cuisine (sesame shrimp tacos are a must).
Shannon Skipper GreenMay 18, 2014
Definitely would go back. Food was great, spicy and rich but good. Probably will do a rice dish to cut some of the richness.
ShouaSeptember 7, 2013
Shrimp tacos are amazingggg. So are the kalbi tacos. Two fills me up, for $5! It's probably dangerous that I've been introduced to this place...
Jing SSeptember 1, 2017
Bibimbap is good. The place can get packed so come early.
Jake SmithJanuary 30, 2013
Whatever you order (I suggest one of the taco choices or the bulgogi sandwich), you MUST get the kimchi fries with it.
Jonathan FerreraMay 10, 2016
If you can get here before 6pm, you might not even have to wait in a line that almost extends out the door.
ARthur BRuceJuly 17, 2018
Spicy BBQ Bento Box was very good, but the Shrimp taco stole the show it was delicious!!!
ᴡ HildebrandMarch 28, 2015
Definitely get the kimchi fries, shrimp taco, and kalbi taco. So much flavor and tastiness!
Amy CarrMay 3, 2016
The pan-fried dumplings are awesome! Perfect crisp on the outside and so flavorful.
Amy LindseyFebruary 28, 2017
Loved it! We had a bibimbop bowl and something with steak and rice. It was great.

Fish tacos, shrimp tacos and kalimbi tacos are so good, one of the best takeout places in Lincoln park
Priya VaswaniDecember 31, 2011
This place is awesome - cheap and delicious. The portions are pretty big so don't over order. Also, the kimchi fries are strangely amazing!

Get kalbi three ways: in a taco, in a banh mi, and atop poutine.
BrookeAugust 7, 2013

TiffanyOctober 2, 2015
Get the shrimp tacos and the kimchi fries. Street style dumplings were so-so.
MaggieJuly 26, 2014
Shrimp is the way to go, whether it's taco or banh mi!
Emily GlazeSeptember 29, 2015
Shrimp tacos are unreal good as are the dumplings. You cannot go wrong here.
s.July 23, 2013
If before eating here I asked you "who has the best tacos in the city?" & you said a Korean joint in Lakeview I would have laughed in your face!! But holy shitballs! KALBI! SESAME-CHILI SHIRMP! no lie
TammyNovember 16, 2011
Shrimp tacos and kimchi fries are a must-try! Tables are small and have limited number of chairs so make sure you don't come with a huge group.
EdJune 3, 2015
The shrimp tempura taco and the grilled short ribs taco won't disappoint you!
Trevor SmytheNovember 17, 2015
A shrimp taco, a kalbi taco and a pork taco is my go to order.

Renovation/expansion is great! Still always packed but easier to get a table. Shrimp tacos and kimchi fries are my faves.
