Woo Chon Restaurant

Went here for my birthday, the food overall tasted good. Prices are a little high but understandable. Main concern is their ventilation system is poor/does not work. So when cooking the food, large amounts of smoke went straight into our face the whole time. Several people of our party had to step outside because it became so bad.

My absolute favorite Korean food spot in Chicago. They prepare amazing main dishes as well as the free side dishes (banchan) you can tell how good their food is by tasting the freshness of their side dishes. Everything on the menu is excellent and that is not an exaggeration. Love their cooking and the ladies that work there. I really miss them now that I live in Philly. Used to go here twice a month easily. So good.

Food was very delicious. for the four of us to be full and happy, we got 3 beef meats and one chicken. I wish they refilled our bonchon more often and we didn't have to ask for another refill. I never seen a KBBQ like it though. they had am interesting way of cooking at the table! it felt very primal. it was kind of empty for a Friday night at dinnertime. I had my doubts but I was impressed. I wouldn't go again just because I have more options here in Chinatown but the marinated beef was so good I might have to go again if I'm in the area.

Most delicious we’ve had so far with KBBQ in Chicago! We got the brisket and Galbraith for two persons, and were so stuffed we couldn’t even move. The grill is a charcoal grill, which was an amazing added flavor to the meat, you get soup and lots of sides! Be careful, we dropped a piece of meat through the grill! 😭

We enjoyed our meal there but I have to say it’s quite expensive especially if you are meat lovers. I’m giving four stars only because it’s too expensive. We liked every dish we have. The Galbi is our favorite. The meat quality is one of the best we have had in Chicago. It’s really juicy and tender. The bibimbap and tofu soup are also really good.

One of the few places left in the city that uses charcoal instead of gas for Korean BBQ. Great cuts of meat, nice array of side dishes, and great service. It is located just off the intersection of Lincoln Avenue & California Avenue and, given its small size, you could blink and miss it. But if you manage to find it, the place is absolutely worthwhile.
