Best Korean Restaurants in Uptown

The food was delicious. Ther service was good and the atmosphere was great. The food came out quickly, the food was cooked to perfection, and the people were very polite and friendly.

Always an awesome time at Jeong. Their menu never disappoints and has a unique style in Korean fusion.

I cried while eating the pumpkin and eggs. My friend also almost cried about how good the food was. 10/10 would recommend. Shoutout my friend and BTS for recommending this glorious establishment. Great way to start day before Moonbyul concert. Shoutout to Moonbyul my beloved.

We ordered the Jampong Mussels, Chef’s Meat Sampler, Doeng Jang Jjgae, and Banchan.. everything tasted good. I mean it tasted as Korean food should, the meat was buttery soft and while I thought it odd to have to order banchan separately… it is unlimited, so there is that. The Jampong Mussels tasted good, but it wasn’t Jampong soup really, it was more Kimchee Jjgae broth with pork (so if you are pescatarian you might want to ask if they can omit or it may not work for you). The cocktails were lovely though (as many people commented… ) I had a Matcha Sour, I believe it was called, so good if you like sweet cocktails and the expresso martini was fantastic. In terms of the ambiance, it’s a nice moody sort of interior. It is dark at night, but because it is a corner restaurant it was nice to see all the night lights come through the windows. All adds to the vibe. All in all would I recommend? If you want to have a Korean experience, but in an elevated atmosphere then yes. The food is good, but was it phenomenal? No… it wasn’t like a Benu (from SF) experience, but could be a nice date night, special occasion, or somewhere you would bring a special guest… that maybe isn’t Korean? Honestly I think the bad reviews were mostly from fellow Koreans, (or at least those who are in the know about Korean food) but like I said it’s very good food, just not anything new or quantity wise, satisfying for the natives.

We went here before a concert at the United Center It is not larger, there is come construction going on. Not fancy. The food was great. We had the Kimchi dumplings to start. Outstanding. I had the Kimchi Soup and it was just what it should be. My white had one of the chicken dishes and it was tasty. Reasonably priced. Great Korean food. Close to United center
