    Food was great, but a little pricey. Music was a bit too loud. Definitely would come back

    Huge fan of this place. Always recommend the bulgogi and LA Kalbi. Great spot to visit next to United Center right before a game or concert!!

    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

    This place is not too far of a walk from the United Center and the perfect place to grab a bite before a concert or game! Food is outstanding, although I prefer tenders over bone in wings when ordering the KFC. Definitely a go to spot.
