The Best Korean Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"San Soo Gab San is the banchan king of Chicago. The moment you sit down at this KBBQ staple in Lincoln Square, an army of complimentary side dishes appear making free table bread feel like a minimal effort. From kimchi to broccoli muchin, to myeolchi bokkeum, there are over 25 things to snack on. The seasoned cuts are particularly fantastic, like bulgogi and sweet and savory wang kalbi which has extra charcoal flavor from the grills. The bright space lined with exhaust pipes has plenty of room, perfect for tired coworkers to liven up again with some meat and banchan after a long week." - john ringor, adrian kane
