Angry Chicken and Funny Plus in Aurora have gotten rave reviews. I'll head up there next time I go on an H-Mart run.
Probably because it is a chain but prices are jacked up everywhere. You pay for a meal and get appetizer portions. I tried Bonchon last month waiting for car repairs and while the food was ok, I couldn't see myself bringing the whole family out for a meal there. I think it would easily cost $120 for a family of 5. Not going to happen for what I deem fast food. Food in general but especially Korean food prices have gone off kilter. I'm just glad my wife can make most of this at home.
