Gangnam Korean BBQ

Absolutely amazing! The flavor was incredible, and everything was so delicious and fresh. The pork belly and kimchi fried rice were full of flavor. The guy came over and mixed everything together right at the table, which made the experience even better. He even made a heart shape with the rice, which was such a nice touch! ❤️ Great food, great service, and a really fun experience. Definitely coming back and highly recommend this place! 🔥🥓🍚

This was on my list for awhile and we finally got a chance to try it. It’s located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. I guess they really improved a lot since the last 8-12 months. I saw some recent newbies complain about the portions being small. I believe they didn’t order a lot or they ordered the wrong things. The current portions are not small, they’re just mid quality. Btw the banchan is unlimited. We were a group of 3 and got the Taste of Seoul set for 4. It came with fried dumplings, popcorn chicken, beef bulgogi, LA galbi, galbi chicken, pork belly, and kimchi fried rice. Service was good. Our server came back often to check on us. Other than that, this is not a place I would return to. K-bbq in Palatine is way better and authentic. Overall, this is a 2.5-3 at best. -Fried dumplings 2.5 - The fried dumplings tasted store bought, not something that was made from scratch. -popcorn chicken 1 - this is the worst popcorn chicken I’ve ever tasted. It was dry and there were way too many fried batter pieces. Not enough meat. -beef bulgogi 5 - this was fine. -LA galbi 5 - this and the beef bulgogi are the highlights. -galbi chicken 1 - I think I would take this off the Taste

My fiancé and I stopped here by accident. The fun sign caught my attention as I was going to go to a different restaurant originally, then when I got out of the car the smells really made us walk in and choose Gangnam. We were promptly greeted by our amazing server, Alex who answered all of our questions and gave us the best recommendations. The food was fantastic! As well as a fun interactive way to enjoy a date night. The setting and decor were amazing! Alex was an 11/10 server! He was extremely helpful, nice, and genuine. We had great conversation with him and enjoyed every moment. The Kim chi fried rice was incredible last night and even better today as an after work snack. I loved the banana milk, and the option for coke in a bottle. Great quality and quantity of food for a very fair price. I will absolutely be coming back and recommending! Thanks Gangnam BBQ and Alex, as well as the other friendly staff.

Gangnam Korean BBQ is a quaint little dining experience tucked in a strip mall. Where it lacks in not being the typical all you can eat place (AYCE), the quality and quantity of packages offered makes up for it. We ordered the Seoul package that came with a variety of meats and at the end our server came and made kimchi fried rice that was delicious. All the meats were fresh and tender. The popcorn fried chicken with sweet & sour sauce was really delicious. They also brought plenty of Bon chon items and even refilled them for us. Surroundings and seating was intimate. Alinaa our server was friendly, helpful and checked on us often. It was a delicious meal and I’d highly recommend it as a change of pace to the AYCE places.

This was me and my friend’s first time at Gangnam BBQ. We ordered the Taste of Seoul combo for two and everything was absolutely delicious. We especially loved the kimchi pork belly fried rice. Carina, our server, really made the night. She was super friendly, attentive, and just easy to talk to. She also did an awesome job grilling the fried rice too and it came out perfect! Overall, great food and excellent service. Definitely coming back for sure!
