Ssyal - Chicago Korean Restaurant

Lunch Special: $9.99 — Highly Recommended We were in Chicago because of my daughter, and I noticed a Korean restaurant nearby. After reading the reviews, which were very positive, we decided to stop by for lunch. I originally went in planning to order samgyetang, but when I saw the lunch special—seolleongtang for $9.99—I couldn’t pass it up. I ordered the seolleongtang for dine-in and got the samgyetang to go. It was a cold day, and maybe that made it even better, but the food was absolutely delicious. The broth was especially amazing—rich, comforting, and full of flavor. I enjoyed it so much that my bowl was completely empty by the end! Highly recommended, and I will definitely visit again the next time I’m in Chicago.

We came here on a whim because we really wanted authentic Korean food on a gloomy day. The atmosphere is so open and bright and service was quick and friendly! Everything we ordered was soooo gooood! The banchan were all fresh and delicious and I HIGHLY recommend the signature samgyetang and the seafood pancake!

Drove by many times and finally decided to give it a try. Even though it is not a BBQ place their food was expectacular! The star of the show was their bibimbap, which we opted for the one that comes on the hot stone bowl. The spicy chicken which comes loaded with melted cheese was also delicious. It's worth nothing that they have parking on the back.

Delicious food! What makes it special is the service, the owner is nice and accommodating. The chicken bulgogi is good too!

I love this place. Run by a wife and husband with amazing food at great prices. Everything is sooo filling and tasty! We got the Soon Tofu soup and a seafood pancake.

This Korean restaurant is very clean and the food came out very fast. The food was fresh and the food was very good. Not salty and very healthful. The bibimbop ($14.99) veges were really good and authentic and super fresh. And I am mostly vegetarian but can eat high quality low fat beef or chicken. And the beef in the bibimbop was super low fat and very tasty and not salty but still flavored like bulgogi. There's another room for diners which can also act as a private party dining area if needed. The bathrooms were very clean also with paperless hand drying and it was odorless. They even had a bench inside that came be used to place bags or to sit. This place has great food and it's very clean and the parking on the street is free. And if you write a review with pictures you get 3 free fried dumplings. Very good and appreciated! Will definitely come back.

Very cute Korean restaurant! A nice place with fantastic food. We ordered two soup and a dumpling, the chicken soup is so amazing! Would recommend this one!
