San Soo Gab San

If I were to recommend anyone to a great korean restaurant, San Soo Gab Son would be one of my top two. Unrivaled in terms of banchans, everything tasted so good and the service was really friendly. The charcoal also gave the bbq a great aroma, different from the other picnic gas stoves you normally get. We went when they were not busy so service wise your miles may vary. The value you get is phenomenal, the portions were huge. We have a solid second meal packed once we were done. The wang kalbi was my favorite, also love the soon dubu jjigae.

Ah, San Soo Gab San, where the aroma of authentic Korean BBQ wafts through the air like a welcoming hug from a long-lost friend. 🤗🍖 This isn't just another BBQ joint; it's a culinary odyssey! Their secret weapon? Wood burners, my friends. While others play it safe with gas, San Soo Gab San is fanning the flames of tradition. 🔥✨ Let's talk about their Wang Kalbi. Imagine marinated beef short ribs, dancing over wood flames, teasing your senses. Each bite is a harmonious melody of flavors, a symphony in your mouth. 🎶🥩 And the Japchae? A colorful tapestry of vegetables and glass noodles, each strand glistening with the perfect blend of seasoning and joy. 🌈🍜 The service? Oh, it's like being in a Korean drama where you're the star and the waitstaff are your ever-attentive sidekicks. Fast, friendly, and they always seem to know what you need before you do. Like mind readers, but with aprons. 🏃‍♂️💨👍 Dining here is not just eating; it's an experience. It's like teleporting to Seoul without the jet lag. 🛫🇰🇷 Every visit reminds me of those bustling streets and the daily BBQ feasts, a nostalgic journey for the taste buds. So, if you're seeking an adventure, a place where every sizzle tells a story, and every bite takes you on a journey, then San Soo Gab San is your culinary compass. 🌟🍽️ Just remember, with great BBQ comes great responsibility - don't forget to share! 🤣👫🍽️ #SanSooGabSanMagic

So very much food we left stuffed and know next time order less we got ttebokki, and then the bulogi and pork ribs all was excellent all side dishes were excellent. Clean and quiet while we were there. Went around 2 and it was very quiet but was enough food that we were happy we didn't snack between our nine am breakfast and then and we will be skipping dinner. It was our first experience with Korean BBq and I just wish there had been some good explanations to explain what somethings were. The staff seemed nice.

Having been trying different kbbq around chicago, this one was always the first and unique kbbq in town. Back in the days, this was the go to place with the house marinated beef in rolls. It dropped off the radar after quality went down. The ssgb suburban location was even worse. I'm glad to see it got much better with the meat quality and service after some time. The beef was excellent but the pork belly was cut too thin. The floor was greasy and the new grill exhaust is so big it covers both person sitting across from you. Oh its also wood charcoal which it should be!

We appreciated that our large group was able to be seated right away without a reservation, and enjoyed the experience of the tabletop grill, everyone had fun. It was pretty pricey and some of the meat was mostly bone, but the huge variety of sides was great. The surprise hit was the goat soup, so delicious!

I typically don’t go to restaurants that has 4 stars or lower but my cousin insisted this place is good so we tried. We ordered few soups , a noodle dish , bibimbap and Mandu for appetizer. The main course was actually pretty goood, definitely a 5/5. Side dishes was plentiful but I personally had a lot better. They are the cheaper type of sides and nothing stood out except for the daikon kimchi which was very delicious. Overall I would give it 5 stars because the main dishes were excellent and the price was excellent as well. Like most bbq restaurants, be prepared to smell like bbq after eating here.
