Ssyal - Chicago Korean Restaurant

Really incredible place. Having lived in Korea, the dakdori-tang was very tasty and satisfied my nostalgia. My dad also really liked his soft tofu stew

Drove by many times and finally decided to give it a try. Even though it is not a BBQ place their food was expectacular! The star of the show was their bibimbap, which we opted for the one that comes on the hot stone bowl. The spicy chicken which comes loaded with melted cheese was also delicious. It's worth nothing that they have parking on the back.

Great Korean spot with delicious food and generous portions. The seafood pancake was crispy and flavorful, the japchae was perfectly seasoned, and the bulgogi rice bowl was tender and satisfying. Fresh banchan, friendly service, and a clean, comfortable atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

The best Korean food in Chicago. The dishes like galbi, bibimbap, pajeon all have the special home cooked meal" comfiness. The samgyetang will revitalize your soul. Get a shot of ginseng wine and feel your inner self become at peace. Lovely, kind folks behind the counter, call ahead and make a res because this place gets very busy at meal time.

This Korean restaurant quickly became one of my favorite places to eat. The first time I went, I ordered two appetizers instead of a main dish, and they were both very delicious. The seafood pancake was a 10 out of 10, and the japchae - stir-fried glass noodles with beef and vegetables was amazing. I also ordered a ginseng milkshake, and it’s a must-try. The next time I visited, I ordered Ssyal Samgye Tang, a whole cornish hen soup. The broth was clear and tasty, and the chicken, stuffed with rice, spices, and garlic, was very good. The soup comes with multigrain rice and a variety of pickled vegetables. I really love this restaurant!
