New Village Gastro Pub

Be transported to South Korea for dinner. This place has amazing ambience and the servers are very friendly and attentive.Price is super reasonable for the level of quality and the portion. Got the fried chicken, a whole twice fried chicken that is extra crispy on the outside and super tender on the inside. It comes pipping hot to your table whole and the servicer will break it up by hand for you. Didn't get a pre pic because I wasn't paying attention till they started breaking it down. Got the Golbaengi-muchim (Sea Snail And Squid Muchim) to go with the fried chicken. This is a sweet, tangy, and spicy cold dish that comes with noodles, shredded cabbage in sauce, and steamed squid. Just mix and enjoy. It goes perfectly with the fried chicken since the tangy flavor will cut through the greasy taste from the chicken. 10/10 would definitely recommend for a couple or group to enjoy some amazing late night eats!FYI, use the bell on the side of your table for service.

only got the fried chicken and truffle oil French friesthe chicken was excellent the fries were a bit overhyped but still very good.The staff was very very pleasant and the service was excellent.Next time I will get a little more adventurous But there will be a next time!

I recently checked out New Village Gastro Pub in Northbrook, because it made Yelp's Top 100 list. Despite the long drive from the city, I was excited to see what all the hype was about. Sadly, my experience didn't quite live up to the expectations.We ordered several meat dishes and soup, but they ended up being more about the vegetables than the meat. After a few bites, we were left mostly with veggies. When we mentioned this to the server, she rudely told us to look harder for the meat.The prices were decent, but the portions and quality didn't really match up. The food was just okay, nothing special, and certainly not what I'd expect from a top 100 restaurant. This visit made me question how they got on the list.I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this place again. If you're already in the area and need a cheap bite, it might be worth a shot. Just be ready to order extra if you want to get your money's worth.

Stir-Fried Squid with Hand-Cut Noodles 8.72/10 - Despite my usual preference for calamari, this dish was a revelation. The tender squid was perfectly complemented by the crisp cabbage, garlic, onion, and a kick from the hot pepper. The hand-cut noodles soaked up the rich, spicy sauce, creating a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that left me wanting more. Truly an unexpected delight.Army Stew with Ramen Noodles 8.48/10 - This dish was a hearty, comforting bowl of deliciousness. The savory broth, though intensely spicy, paired wonderfully with the tender ramen noodles. The combination of hams, sausages, spicy kimchi, tofu, and vegetables created a rich and satisfying experience. Despite the broth's fiery heat, which tested my high spice tolerance, the flavors were balanced and deeply comforting.Beef Bulgogi 9.47/10 - A traditional masterpiece, this beef bulgogi was nothing short of exceptional. The beef was incredibly tender, and the accompanying vegetables were cooked to perfection. The flavors melded together beautifully, making each bite a delightful experience.Kimchi Fried Rice 9.67/10 - This kimchi fried rice was an absolute standout. While it was incredibly spicy, the flavors were so well balanced and it was an excellent dish. The addition of a perfectly cooked egg on top elevated the dish to new heights, adding a creamy richness that perfectly complemented the heat. The dish was a perfect blend of heat and savoriness. Can't go wrong with getting Soju as well- they had lots of options for drinks but had to go with a classic.This place not only has the best Korean food that I've had- but also offers karaoke and is open till late night! Was so excited to try this place as it was on Yelp's Top 100 and it did not disappoint.Instagram: @hungrytamale

Wowwww super impressed with this place near rosemont. Came after concert at Allstate arena and it was packed!! One of the only places open past midnight and the food was phenomenal. Shared whole fried chicken, rose tteokboki and truffle fried. Everything was amazing and the tteokboki was the best I've had. Super creamy, perfect level of spice, and rice cake cooked perfectly chewy. The waiter also took apart the whole chicken for us as well. I would definitely come again and try more of their great authentic menu. The army stew sounded so good. Everything is great to share as well.

This Gastro pub is so good. Excellent service food is delicious. I had the good fortune to be accepted to a Yelp event that was held here this evening . Thank you so much to my community manager, Keisha and her assistant Celeste. This is my third time at this restaurant. It's so cute great menu fantastic service. Everything is coming out fresh and piping hot.If you like fried chicken it's delicious they bring out a whole deep-fried chicken that's delicious. It's so light and crispy. Perfect flavor so moist piping hot nice and crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It needs no seasoning but if you'd like try the salt and pepper with a sesame oil on it it's delicious. Another favor that I had was the army stew that had Ramen hotdogs,Bacon, cabbage, and a hot spicy broth The drinks looked amazing our cm Keisha had a soju with a strawberry popsicle . I was tempted to order it, but my stomach wanted to have enough for him to stuff, my face with the delicious food that they offered.I want to thank the owners for inviting us they're very hospitable very nice when I've been here before the service was excellent as well as the food if you'd like to try some wonderful food come on in and give it a try I guess they have karaoke next-door too. It's open late opens up at 5 PM and if you're hungry late at night this is a place to go. Actually anytime after five if you're hungry coming, check it out.

First time eating at a K pub and I wasn't sure what to expect so I was glad one of our companions was there to guide us along. We arrived before 6pm on a Friday night and the strip mall parking lot was pretty crowded but the inside was only about 1/3 full. We weren't on the wait list but we were seated immediately.Very casual setting inside with Kpop videos playing on a large screen and small round tables and low stools. The server brought out warm bean sprout soup and pointed out the call button. I tried a soju cocktail with melona. There's a honeydew popsicle in your mug of soju and you mix it up. Fun and sweet.We ordered popcorn chicken, sweet soy chicken with peanut, kimchi fried rice, Bossam and rice cakes and sausages. Nothing too adventurous or spicy but all brought out right away and delicious. Very generous portions too. I will order the Korean market style chicken next time -- a whole fried chicken that they break apart into pieces in front of you. This place got crowded and loud within minutes. This was a fun intro to K pub and pocha (pojangmacha - street food). We used the call button to get the check and they brought it straightaway. They have karaoke booths here--another fun option to try at another visit. New Village Gastro Pub was listed on Yelp's Top 100 Restaurants in the US in 2024.

Great Vibes at this place. First of all, the food is fantastic. Big portions means you will leave full no matter what. Seriously best Korean food I've ever had. Servers were all very nice, loved the buttons you can press for service, every place should do this. Also love how late this place is open with the music videos on the wall. This place is a must go if you love Korean food.

My girlfriends and I came here on a Friday night and after like 630pm it got really busy. You can make reservations online.We ordered the sea snail muchim, bosam, and army stew. The snail muchim is was perfect combo of savory, sweet, crunchy, chewy, and spicy. Every bite keeps you wanting some more. The pork belly in the bosam were thinly sliced and the ssamjang went so well with it. We ended the meal with the army stew. It was the perfect warm soupy thing to have on a rainy and cold Friday night. The broth was creamy and spicy in all the right amount. We stayed there for a pretty long time just chit chatting, snacking, and drinking. I ended the night earlier, but my girlfriends ended up getting the smaller karaoke room. I'd def wanna come back for it and try other menu items as well!

This place is literally my favorite! Came here for my birthday recently but have been here multiple times. All of the food is great! Definitely have to get at least one of the soups/stews with whatever you order. Service is great for introverts, because they have a button at each table that you can push to call over a staff member for whatever you need, and they always respond right away. It's amazing! The restaurant atmosphere is like if you're sitting on the streets of Korea, really awesome vibe! I've never been disappointed!
