The Best Korean Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Bonyeon's $255, 13-course, two-hour, wagyu-centric tasting menu sounds like a lot—and it is. But if you’re celebrating an anniversary or birthday, this West Loop restaurant is a great fine dining option. And though the elegant space, price point, and compact 12-seat space might suggest a level of stuffiness and a soft-voices-only policy, dinner here is relaxed and easygoing thanks to some friendly chefs. Cow is front and center for 80% of the meal—hello, tenderloin topped with bone marrow and bone broth with thin noodles. But you'll also get a couple of equally delicious palate cleansers, like yuzu scallops or patbingsu, so you don’t have to worry about “meat overload.”" - john ringor, adrian kane
