Woo Chon Restaurant

I enjoyed this restaurant. It took me right back to the small mom and pop restaurant business in Korea. All the staff was super friendly and welcoming. I hadn't had Korean food for awhile, so this experience was right on time.

One of the few places left in the city that uses charcoal instead of gas for Korean BBQ. Great cuts of meat, nice array of side dishes, and great service. It is located just off the intersection of Lincoln Avenue & California Avenue and, given its small size, you could blink and miss it. But if you manage to find it, the place is absolutely worthwhile.

Went for galbi and was not disappointed! Woo Chon is on the more expensive side but it tasted great! Ordered two servings for two, and it was a good amount for us - since we had also ordered cold noodles and bibimbap. It didn't seem too busy when we arrived so service was quick! Will definitely visit this place again!

We enjoyed our meal there but I have to say it’s quite expensive especially if you are meat lovers. I’m giving four stars only because it’s too expensive. We liked every dish we have. The Galbi is our favorite. The meat quality is one of the best we have had in Chicago. It’s really juicy and tender. The bibimbap and tofu soup are also really good.

This place has the best galbi tang! The bbq is grilled on top of charcoal. The side dishes were delicious! This place also has a small parking lot. I highly recommend.Recommended dishesSoup, Korean BBQ, Cold Noodles, Pot Stickers

First time at this place....Never have I had a charcoal grill so close to me.....Cooked our meat the way we wanted after a lil instruction from the waitress....food is excellentFood: 5/5

a very cozy place, with a family atmosphere. the charcoal grill adds a layer of deliciousness you can't get with gas. the portions were great, too. we had 1 galbi, 1 sait sal and a large veggie pancake for 3 adults and it was plenty. very friendly service. definitely recommend!Food: 5/5

Most delicious we’ve had so far with KBBQ in Chicago! We got the brisket and Galbraith for two persons, and were so stuffed we couldn’t even move. The grill is a charcoal grill, which was an amazing added flavor to the meat, you get soup and lots of sides! Be careful, we dropped a piece of meat through the grill!

Great food! Love that the grill here is charcoal. The spicy pork and pork belly were great! Was not a fan of the way the galbi is prepared here, there isn't much meat on it compared to other ways to cut galbi, and ours came out a bit too tough to enjoy. Otherwise, cozy atmosphere and tasty food. What's not to love

Love coming here. If they had another section for price/value I'd give it 3 stars. It's really expensive if you get BBQ expect around 35 - 45 pp. However in terms of flavor it's unparalleled korean food in Chicago.Food: 5/5
