Bowl & Barbecue

Food:Haemul Pajun - soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, no skimping on the seafood like other placesBossam - juicy pork belly, perfectly seasoned radish kimchi, pairs wonderfully with the raw oysters, garlic, and cabbageMarinated Kalbi - literally melted in my mouth, not too sweet like most placesGamja Tang - great flavors, potatoes perfectly cooked, fall-off-the-bone meat, a little too spicy but can always ask for less spicyService:You don't get service like this at most authentic Korean restaurants. Banchan & waters were always full. She was even nice to us. *gasp*

I don't know why this place is so quiet at night. Their food is delicious and the staff are nice. My favorite here is their gamja tang, can't find better in the Chicago area in my opinion. I noticed their hours keep getting shorter and shorter. Would be sad if they closed down, hopefully they can get more business!

Bowl&BBQ never disappoints! I have tried, I've been trying numerous of korean restaurants. But Bowl&BBQ is always go to when we crave for korean. Their side dishes are amazing! Soups are fresh. We love to order for to go and our order will be ready to pick up in only 10-15 mins. Seems this place is family owned and they put their heart into their business! Definitely recommend their tofu soup, kamjatang, kalbitang and many other dishes.

Excellent service and fantastic food. They have yangyum gejang, which is hard to find in restaurants. It was spicy, so if you enjoy spicy I suggest you get it. The bossam was plentiful and included large fresh and clean oysters. We also ordered the gamja-tang and cold noodle soup. There were heaping amounts of beef in it and the soup was very savory. We also ordered the pajun as well. It was crispy, light, and flavorful. The service was excellent. The server was very attentive and kind. The restaurant was bustling with people. The ambience was light and fun. Lots of family in the restaurant that seemed like regular customers. Definitely enjoyed my time at this restaurant with my party of five. Definitely will be back!!!

This place is very suck. Don't waste your money.Food is too bad and owner is very rude to customer. The restaurant owner endless came to our table and interrupted the meal with "very rude words". We couldn't eat comfortably. Eventually, after leaving the restaurant, my friend threw up. ThanksWe went to Chicago for a trip, but the first restaurant ruined the day.Food suck too. We left almost all the food. And price was very expensive.. OMG.They don't know how to make Korean food. Menu: 1.Agwi Jjim: The fishy smell of the fish is too strong and bland. Fish is tough, too. Anyway that's not Agwi Jjim2. Gamja Tang: that's not Gamja Tang. Suck. Taste and texture is bad. (what is this..?)I'm Korean, I've never ever eat those food in Korea. however side dish is not bad. "Only side dish."PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Go to a place where you can spend your day more valuablely.

We wanted to try this spot BUT guess not. For the people who can't physically take the vaccine, do not come here. Or religious reasons etc. They require you show a vaccine card to eat here. Looks Oba that is a few spots next to them will be getting more business.

Great Korean restaurant! Their staff were so friendly and patient with us being there for the first time. Their menu is pretty big and We had a hard time trimming down my choices because they all sound good! We ended up getting bulgogi beef, japchae and hot stone beef bibimbap. Our meal came with banchan and soup. We were so satisfy with our choices and everything was so delicious! We even got Yakult to finish up our meal! I used to drink Yakult when I was younger and it's been more than 2 decades since I had one. It was a nice surprise to be served Yakult instead of having a candy when we got our bill. For those who are not familiar with Yakult, "Yakult is a probiotic dairy product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of the bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota." - Wikipedia

Ordered 3 entries including the japchae , noodles was sadly overcooked :(. Rest of my orders was good though.

Locationally challenged in the suburbs and not a beauty but really good food. Cod fish stew, bbq'ed Galbi and BiBimBap. All our favorites are flavorful. A regular stop whenever we are in the neighborhood. Give them a try if you are a lover of Korean cuisine.

This place has some really good Korean staples like bulgogi and galbi but also has great soups and good seafood. They have really good Suwon Wangjokbal (glazed pig feet) and Agwi Jjim(steamed anglerfish). It's great for sharing with groups of 4 or more.As far as little lunch menu, they have an abundance of selections to choose from...you can go here everyday and not get sick of the selections on the menu. I would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!
