Korean Barbecue With A Vengeance
San Soo Gab San
Why locals love it
This place once heavily populated by the local Korean American clientele now has expanded into more mainstream foodies. Thats a good thing (it isn't always - but in this case it is) An uber-ride a way this place is great for late night cravings, warm soup that hits the spot and to satiate your Korean grilling phase.
Why you should visit it
Come with a big group or as a couple, and grill your own food. Another exciting part is when the complimentary appetizers start to flood your table and you wonder how you're going to have space for anything. This place is as authentic as you can get in Chicago. My friend Aniko whose a sucker for anything with culture goes nuts here.
Special tip
Ask for the traditional square/rectangle grill as the other fancy silver round set up doesn't allow you to cook as well. Order Ribs, & Chicken.
