Die besten koreanische Restaurants in Melrose Park

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.

Highly recommend Palilgu for a casual yet lively dinner! The pork belly and teobokki was amazing. Can't wait to come back and try out the other dishes.

I was celebrating my daughter's 24th birthday. From start to finish the service was impeccable. My daughter is a pescatarian and loves korean food which is one reason I choose this restaurant. Although being a prefixed menu, they were very accommodating in offer alternate no meat plates. The drinks were very good. The staff was very attentive through out the evening. Overall, was a very satisfying evening. Would highly recommend.

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

Liked the vibe and food. Would go back again.
