The Best Korean Restaurants In Chicago
"Dancen is dark, windowless, and smoky, but unlike the basement where you played Guitar Hero in high school, this pocha is worth revisiting. “Pocha” in Korean normally refers to covered, outdoor drinking places, and this Lincoln Square spot channels that street energy into its tiny space. The smell of charcoal and seasoned meat hovers as packed tables share crispy pork intestines and the cooks grill chicken drumsticks that are the star of Dancen’s best dish: cheesy fire chicken. It’s very spicy, but the incredibly sweet and savory gochujang marinade convinces you to snack through the heat. And if you and your friends need to cool down a bit, Dancen's soju cocktail pitchers can help." - john ringor, adrian kane
