Korean recommendations?
 

Since I moved to Chicago in August, I have been to Cho Sun OK (I like the place, my gf did not), Jin Ju (a bit more non-traditional than both our liking).

Location generally is not an problem, but would prefer in the city.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Welcome to FT & Chicago. FYI, a search(upper right of page) yields the following on Korean in Chicago:

Let us know (in Community) if you desire other FT'er to join you.

Arh.....didn't do a search on the "archived" ones once I saw the number of active threads are so limited......

Thanks Willie!

For Korean food in the city, I'd reccomend the relatively new Koryo. While they are much more trendy than Cho Sun Ok, I prefer Koryo simply for the reason that they have Dul Sot (sp?) Bibim Bap, and Cho Sun Ok didn't seem to have this. My first trip to Koryo found small portions of Kalbi, which they seem to have improved upon recently.

Koryo is still BYOB, and has a liquor store next door. One word of caution from my last visit, if you plan to drink wine, you may want to bring your own glasses, as they ran out, and gave pint glasses to those who brought their own wine. Also, the tables there are pretty small, especially once they start bringing out the little dishes. I'd reccomend asking for seating for four if there are only two of you.

Enjoy!
