"This Albany Park institution has been around since 1988, and is most famous for samgyetang, its signature ginseng chicken soup. The fame is justified: their whole cornish hen stuffed with rice and sweet jujubes is fall-off-the-bone tender and floats in a rejuvenating, light broth. But while the soup is a must-order, everything is a hit, like the sweet galbi or dakdori tang, a spicy chicken stew with potatoes and carrots. Syaal’s chill, casual space is often filled with people quietly eating to a soft instrumental soundtrack—the perfect environment for a chicken soup spa treatment." - john ringor, adrian kane
