Overall we enjoyed our meal (second visit for some of us). We specifically visited on Tuesday to take advantage of the half price Champagne and $1 oysters. It was unfortunate that by 8pm they had run out of oysters (especially as it was not that busy)....if you are going to have such a promotion you need to ensure customers can take advantage of it. The BBQ was all tasty and sides were good (one of my fellow diners commented that the sweet potato fries were amongst the best she's had). The drinks were also fun...from the cocktails to the whiskey flights! I'm sure we will be back....just hoping they have ample supply of oysters next time!

My boyfriend and I had the pleasure of visiting the Gyu in Tokyo and it was nothing compared to the one in Chicago. They didn’t have many options and we were left feeling underwhelmed. Today we redeemed ourselves! My boyfriend ate every crumb and raved about how this was the best dinner he had in a long time! Thank you Gyu Chicago for always knowing how to treat us!

We went here before a concert at the United Center It is not larger, there is come construction going on. Not fancy. The food was great. We had the Kimchi dumplings to start. Outstanding. I had the Kimchi Soup and it was just what it should be. My white had one of the chicken dishes and it was tasty. Reasonably priced. Great Korean food. Close to United center
