Pro Samgyubsal

There are many Korean BBQ choices in the area. If you are looking for non marinated meat, pork in particular, this is a great choice. The quality of meat is quite good and the price is not bad as well. Service was very very good here and the place is quiet clean. The star here is the pork. Depending which pork you order some are scored. Portions are quite good and all pork had good amount of fat. Tried the kalbi which also not marinated and was pretty tender. Overall this is a nice choice for non ayce Korean bbq, particularly if you enjoy pork. The sides do leave a little to be desired as there is not much variety as it is mainly kimchi and different radishes. There is no potato salad, fishcakes, bean sprouts or steamed. FYI the parking lot is pretty small.

Had an eye on this place for quite some time driving up and down Milwaukee for a few years. From the outside looking in, it looks appealing! So we finally decided to give it a try!Overall, solid C. Extremely average KKBBQ. My first distain was having to share a table. Not a huge deal since we weren't arm to arm but still...not for us. Next, not AYCE bbq or BYOB but the amount we got wasn't too bad considering the price. We ordered the brisket which is required for two servings your first round. The meat was pretty fatty but still decent. We decided to do one more round and were told it didn't have to be two orders on our third attempt, just one if you request. Overall, it was a good amount of food but our last serving of meat (still brisket) was actually better (less fatty) than our first two rounds? Decent/standard sides : their kimchi was delicious. You pay 2.00 extra for extra rice...Service was good and attentive. Paid 99.00 before tip. Average at best.

If I could, I would rate this restaurant a 4.5. Quality of meats are great here. Brisket and pork belly was good. Their Kalbi is good, but not the best I've ever had. Kimchi is not fresh. It is very sour. I don't know if they give you old kimchi on purpose to grill it.Side dishes were great. They give a good variety.I'm surprised they give you a free side of lettuce. Most Korean bbq places charge extra for lettuce now. The food is good. No complaints. There are a few other kbbq restaurants in the Chicago area that have made my jaw drop. This one didn't. It is very close by to where I live, so I would only come back if I'm feeling lazy to drive to the other kbbq places I love. Customer service is great. It was very packed when I got there so it does seem like people do love it here. Again, not the best I've had. Just average!

A good but not standout option for Korean BBQ. I feel that 3-4 years ago when there wasn't such an abundance of KBBQ options available, Pro Samgyubsal stood out for the quality of meats available and the size restaurant with its comfortable decor and fairly reasonable price. However, there's many options within a few blocks and especially within a few miles of here with a much larger menu and competitive prices.With that said though, you'll get a delicious meal while dining here with a wide array of different items. The flavor profiles here lean towards more traditional and authentic instead of the sugar laden options you may find at other options. The banchan here is pretty heavy on kimchee and radish options instead of having a big variety of flavor options (like fish cake, corn, etc.). The soup was a surprise, full of flavor, tofu, vegetables, and went well with the meat.The brisket was pretty good, though very similar to other options you can get elsewhere. The pork was definitely better, though I wish there was some marination on it to give it a bit more flavor. The pork belly was definitely fatty and provided in a good portion, with a good level of tenderness. The pork jowls were quite flavorful with a good tenderness, and isn't a common option that you see everywhere. The service was pretty fast in provided the meat, though we weren't provided with as much help with cooking (and cutting) the meat as some other KBBQ restaurants.Overall, tasty and satisfying especially with the pork options. A bit more healthy in terms of preparation and options, but for me there's other options nearby that I prefer more.

We always go AYCE kbbq. But every time we go, we have to make our $30-50 worth it so we keep ordering to the point we can't even walk to the parking lot. Sometimes it feels awful like so full and all that. Pro Samgyupsal is not AYCE kbbq so you can order enough and don't make you feel awful after. Meat is pretty decent. The service is great, the place as well as the bathroom are well kept clean. Their music is not loud so you can talk without putting an effort and you can hear each other. I didn't have pictures as we dig in right away!

Wow, I thought our Korean BBQ dinner was a pretty nice value, and no wonder this place is so popular, particularly on the weekends.  Those were my thoughts as I was eating all the courses and realized our pre-tax bill was a pretty reasonable $44 for the 2 of us.  We ordered the special cut pork belly ($21, and tastier per our server than the regular slice) and the sliced pork jowls ($23).  Add to the two meats eight dishes of banchan, a bowl of rice, and a good sized bowl of bean paste soup, and that all becomes a pretty good value meal as mentioned.  We both really liked the radish skins as the best of the banchan, as they went particularly well with the grilled meats, and we ended up getting a refill.The grilled pork belly was delicious as were the jowl cuts, but the jowl meat wasn't as tender as I thought it would be and was more firm but also not chewy. There were a couple of other factors that kept it from being a 5 star meal. One was that dinner is a bit harried when everything is out there and you have a hot grill going, and you're trying to eat all the courses while cooking.  I didn't feel particularly relaxed, but looking back, you can try to finish grilling the meats, and then more leisurely enjoy your meal, though some items may cool off.  The other unavoidable side effect is that despite pretty good ventilation, you still come out smelling Korean BBQ, but that's the way it is.  Both the host and our server were welcoming and nice and we only had a 5 minute wait at 7pm on as Thursday.  The weekend wait is more like 40 minutes per the host.  The smallish strip mall parking lot was also filled so we just drove over to the adjacent strip mall parking lot to the south and close by, but it too was nearly full.  I'm glad we tried this place and it could become a food quality benchmark for us to compare against some of those numerous AYCE Korean BBQ places.

The marinated galbi is the best imo! It is pricey but it's worth it! They give so much ban Chan and the staff is always nice and friendly. It does get crowded during the weekends and I do wish they opened for longer hours. But overall, very solid and would definitely come back.

I like em thick! And that is what you get here at pro, thick slices of pork belly. We were all starving after a night at the childrens museum. In a Friday at 7, we were seated right away with 4 adults and 3 crazy children. We truly appreciated that. The sides were good, not bad, just nothing amazing. But their meat...it's so darn good. We even ordered cha dol (thin slices of brisket) and we were not disappointed one bit.Go here if you want authentic, kbbq, at a reasonable pric

My husband and I met a friend at Pro Samgyubsal on a Monday night. I was surprised to see so many people at Pro Samgyubsal on a weekday night. We came in about 6:30 and the crazy thing is that the line of people coming in kept getting longer as the night went on. We chose the brisket, pork belly, and pork jowels to grill on the barbecue. The meat was good but it lacked a lot of flavor. The cuts of meat were very lean and the fat is where the flavor is. The accompaniments included kimchee, radishes, and soup. The soup was very yummy, and, to me, was the star of the show. This was our friend's first time at a Korean Barbecue restaurant and he enjoyed the experience. This was a nice place and we had a good meal but there are better options within five to ten minutes.

I've brought two sets of friends here for dinner and it was an amazing experience both times. It's super spacious and clean. You can imagine how sticky surfaces can get with bbq'ing but they really do an impeccable job keeping it spotless.We had the brisket, kalbi, special pork belly and kalbi tang last night. And my friends couldn't be happier. The banchan is spot on and is such a nice compliment to the dishes (garlic ramps! So amazing, pickled daikon, kimchee, mumallaengi-muchim, seasoned salad/green onion. So delicious.The staff were super nice and we'll be back.
