Arirang BBQ

OBSESSED!!!!! Truly such a delicious place . I came here from an expo with my team, and no joke, all of us came 2 days in a row because it was so amazing. The waitresses were so happy we came back and they treated us so special . Just come. Delicious.

Did not do a second round but great bang for your buck - you do need to choose a minimum of 2 proteins. The staff is super-helpful and provides good, cost-saving recommendations. Your order also comes with the usual sides, and also a good portion of Rice and even Soup. Servers also assist and cook for you for the most part. Pictured here is their Pork Belly and Marinated Beef Bulgogi which I think is a bit better than Iron Age.

Was craving this dish for so long and this is the best one that I’ve had so far! It’s not salty compared to other restaurants I’ve been to! Highly recommend, this dish is called 간장게장 (Ganjang-gaejang)! Manager Hwang was very welcoming and sweet!

This place has been around since my first times in Chicago, 21 years ago. Has had its many ups and downs. But just recently went back, and the quality and service has changed for the better.

Have to come back to try different menu items.

I tried their combo of LA Kalbi and Nengmyun cold noodles! Ask for deals!

There is much to like about this Korean BBQ place. First, everything is fresh including the meat, which can be grilled on the tabletop grill with strong exhaust fan to clear out the smoke immediately from the table. Just as impressive are their side dishes, which gets huge points when dining Korean food. Various offerings of rice for health-conscious crowd is also much appreciated. Great hidden gem in Niles.
