Hanok

"At this cozy Madison Park Korean spot, appetizers steal the show, like fried rice cakes with a donut-like chew on the inside and a caramelized sweet chili sauce on the outside. The fried ghimmari—peppery glass noodle bundles wrapped in seaweed and deep-fried—is another non-negotiable at Hanok. Share a larger entree or two, like dolsot bibimbap delivered in a sizzling skillet that leaves behind a crispy rice bottom worth fighting over. With easy parking and quiet neighborhood surroundings, Hanok rules for a casual weeknight dinner or date night." - Kayla Sager-Riley
