K-Kitchen

My story of getting hooked to this place is kinda funny. I take metra to downtown for work and on the way back home, there was a random girl eating food on the metra, I had to think many times before I could approach her asking where she got her food from because it looked so appealing and smelled so gooood, guess what? Them Mukbang videos on TikTok made me do it, I ended up asking her where she got her food from and she told me about this hidden place located in Chicago’s French Market. I walked about 10 minutes from my workplace in this freezing cold weather and ordered Ramyun for lunch, I sat there to taste test it before I headed back to work and I told the guy (who seems super nice) that I will stop by at the end of my work to get 3 more orders of Ramyun so I could take them home for my family. I LOVED IT!!!

I have to start off by saying I am a bit biased of K-kitchen. Hannah, the chef, is an amazing person. I have been coming for about two years. Ive had everything on the menu. I have to say, i have never had a bad meal. I truly believe that this is the best Korean food in the Chicagoland area. It's in a food market, so don't expect servers, this is a order and sit, but trust me it's worth it. I could go on and on about the food, but go and try it. You will not be disappointed..

Located in the French market, this Korean restaurant makes simple meals. I highly suggest getting their bibimbap bowl and sweet potato fries with honey. These are both really good dishes and are pretty quick to come out. Service is very OK. If you order a water on a separate transaction, they will not give that to you ahead of time until your full meal is ready. Atmosphere is nice as it is in a large food court.

Oh so satisfying dish from K-Kitchen at Chicago’s awesome French Market (awesomely open on Saturday). I ordered the Hot Tofu Soup (with pork) and it is warming, savory and just the right level of savory spice 😍

I haven't eaten at K- Kitchen in a few years and did not realize the business has been taken over by the daughter. She has a new, much pared down, menu...in a good way (do fewer things, and do them really well). I just enjoyed the Hot Tofu Soup with rice and it was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be coming back often!

Inside the OTC French Market. Very good quality, good selection of authentic Korean dishes with fast, friendly and efficient service. Good spice level on all dishes. Spicy garlic pork especially recommended as are Kimchi dumplings.

First off, i dont leave reviews ever, but I felt i should leave one for K-Kitchen. The staff is AMAZING. Hanna & Chuy always have a smile on their faces, and you can tell they love what they do. They've gone above and beyond to make sure the food is on par and the customer is happy. I always get the Korean Popcorn Chicken w/ honey butter and it's never disappointed me. It's an easy go-to for sure. I also normally get a side of gochujang sauce as well & they always make sure they include it even when I forget to ask for it. I can't stress enough how awesome they are at K-kitchen and how much I suggest you go try the food there if you haven't before! 10/10 def recommended.
