New Seoul Korean Charcoal BBQ

Key is the best server here. Very attentive, polite, and funny! We all had a great time and he made the experience just that much better. Food tasted great, as always and the scenery at this location creates the perfect ambiance.

We finally tried Bimbibap!! This Korean rice dish is served in a hot stone bowl! The term "bibim" means mixing various ingredients, while the "bap" noun refers to rice. Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice with assorted vegetables, spicy gochujang, and an egg and/meat or seafood! It's one of the most well-known Korean dishes, and once you try it, you'll see why. Each component contributes something essential to the bowl - think richness, heat, or crisp texture. Pictured: Seafood Bimbibap, Beef Bimbibap, both bowls, free soups and appetizers (unlimited), and the New Seoul Korean Restaurant in Des Plains, IL The service was so sweet I loved everyone that worked here and the ambiance is casual :)

We went here for soup and got the yook ke jang (spicy beef soup) and neng myun (cold buckwheat noodle soup). I really like spicy soup, but man was it spicy. I had to eat the cold soup just to cool my mouth. They need to bring it down a notch, or else ask you for your preferred spice level. The cold soup came with a bottle of traditional mustard sauce like Koreans eat the dish. The banchans were fine and refills were free. Service was good and the inside was small and we sat in a private secluded table.

02/03/24 - Dam if this place doesn't have the best dam vittles. We had dinner @ New Seoul Korean Barbecue w/my wife's family for her belated birthday. This is the 3rd time we came here and the food is excellent everytime. To start we ordered 2 platters that came with/2 types of beef & pork belly. As usual the meat is marbled w/the right amount of fat to bring out the flavor when we grilled it @ our table. We ended up ordering a third platter. The banchan that comes w/the meat is of outstanding quality & the service is awesome. Thanks to Joe (owner) & Cortez we had an excellent meal.

I was very excited to try another Korean BBQ in the Chicago suburb, we came early as we were able to pick any table to sit. I was hoping this place is like others Korean BBQ where there is many side dishes with our 3 protein dishes to grill. The menu was vast and ordered all the popular proteins like marinated kalbi ($38), cubed steak ($36) and fatty pork (36). Side dishes came and was not as many as I expected compared to other's but they have hefty scoops. The proteins came and I was not expecting the amount of meat received for the cost. The food was tasty but left us hungry for a table for 4. The service was great and prompt. Value for the money I would say it is lacking but great BBQ taste.

We really enjoyed our visit to this restaurant the food was totally delicious and the service was fantastic we highly recommend it to everyone

I have tried other Korean BBQs but New Seoul is my favorite so far in Chicago. It's easy to find parking, welcoming staff and cozy environment. The menu has a wide selection of food. I normally get their signature marinated Kalbi and cold noodles. Complimentary side dishes and soups are pretty delicious as well. The charcoal grilled kalbi is pretty special as not a lot places offer charcoal. Usually it's $50/per person on average but it also depends on what you order. Do I think it's worth the price? Definitely!

My mom and I randomly stumbled upon this place and the food did not disappoint. We got the pork belly and the beef. The beef was amazing I definitely recommend getting them if you come here. The sides are great as well and they refill upon request. You can definitely taste the authenticity of the food here.

Food was sooo flavorful and the staff was very kind. Good vibes, highly recommend for a night out with your people!

This is my second time here and every time I come the food and service are amazing. The location is small but perfect for a couple to come. I took my bf here to try Korean bbq and he loved it!
