Miki's Park

"Miki’s Park hosts a K-Pop fireworks boat party with cash bars, DJ music, and an afterparty." - Naomi Waxman

"This Korean spot in River North serves a great fried chicken sandwich. For one, it has a bun that maintains its structural integrity the entire time you’re eating it. And along with that perfectly dense (yet soft) bun, the contrast of the crunchy breast, spicy gochujang aioli, and refreshing vegetable slaw make each bite of Miki’s KFC (which stands for Korean fried Chicken) sandwich texturely perfect. Plus, they package everything separately so nothing gets soggy." - adrian kane

"The loud music, neon lights, and free-flowing soju cocktails at Miki’s Park gives this small River North Korean bar a surprising amount of energy. This is particularly true on Thursdays which is karaoke night, or during their Friday K-pop DJ sets when this place becomes especially packed. But aside from the party atmosphere, we also like coming to Miki’s for Korean-inspired bar food. There are dishes like a fried chicken sandwich with gochujang aioli or tiger fries topped with bulgogi. Plus, since their kitchen is open until 1am, you can grab a bite after belting "Love On Top" at midnight." - John Ringor

"This Korean bar has two meal packages available for election night, with each feeding up to five people. The $50 “Bang Bang Basket” (which comes with five sliders or Korean Red Hots, K-Pop chicken, fries, and banchan) and the $40 Buddha Basket (vegetable dumplings, salad, vegetarian bibimbap, fries, and banchan). You can also add a red, white, and blue cocktail kit for $30." - adrian kane

"We first visited this Korean spot in River North while researching our fried chicken sandwich guide. And while this place does indeed have a fantastic sandwich, we made an equally important discovery: Miki’s also has great wings. They’re covered in a delicious sweet and spicy sticky sauce, but still manage to stay nice and crispy. So this week we learned that we like our fried chicken sandwich to have a chicken wing chaser." - adrian kane
