Dr. K’s Cure All Soup - Edit
The service was amazing and the food was awesome. This soup would be perfect on a cold day in winter and the rest of their food also looked delicious.

Amazing Korean Food 🇰🇷 - Edit
I was so happy to discover this place while in town for a concert, thank you Happy Cow! I got their miso soup (the flavor was insane and rich!) and the spicy kimchi noodle stir fry. the stir fry was packed with tons of veggies (mushroom, cauliflower, bok choy, bell peppers, carrots, cabbage, etc.) and kimchi. they have a ton of options so I’ll definitely try something else when I’m in town again!

Nothing fancy, just good quality food. They’ve used to have a chestnut cookie; I thought it was unusual and really enjoyed it.

Confused by the Hype - Edit
Kimchi jeon is one of my favorite foods, but theirs was so thick and bland that I barely ate any of it. My partner and I both had the same experience with our mains(a curry and a noodle dish), and went to a different restaurant for dinner after eating lunch here because the whole experience was so disappointing that it left a bad taste in our mouths. I'm really confused by all of the positive ratings after the depressing food we had. Maybe we happened to order the three worst things on the menu, but I didn't think that it was possible to make a bad kimchi jeon.

Do not understand high ratings - Edit
We ordered from here because of all the high ratings and were really disappointed. Very bland and flavorless food that consisted of mostly steamed or boiled vegetables. I would absolutely stay away from the bibimbap and “dark side of the moon”. Also what Korean restaurant spells bibimbap, “bi bim bop”??
Read moreThe dumplings would have been great if prepared well. Just a bit too rubbery. The giant red bean cake was fine, but it’s just mochi, not actual cake.

Nah - Edit
The sauces were bitter and off-putting, the vegetables were half cooked, and the seasoning didn't seem to mesh with the dishes.

Excellent Fresh Prepared to Order Foods - Edit
Today I found a gem of a restaurant, Amitabul Restaurant on Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL. The menu is loaded with unique vegan food items that will suit anyone's taste. Per Chef Bill's recommendation, I ordered the Mandoo Vegan Dumplings. These small grilled dumplings were tender, flavorful and filled with fresh vegetables. I especially liked them with the spicy sauce. Chef Bill also suggested the Maha Pyogo. This is a generous portion dish of fresh brown rice with a large portion of mixed mushrooms and green vegetables in a garlic sauce. It was excellent. Finally, I ordered the Dark Side of the Moon. Don't pass on this entree, it was great. Lots of oyster mushrooms, shitake mushrooms and tender long noodles in a tasty black bean sauce. All the food is steam stirred on oil in the wok frying.

The best dumplings I’ve ever had! Dr K’s healing soup and kimchi stir fry were so delicious and the green tea ice cream was to die for! We will definitely be back to get these dishes again and explore more of the menu 😋

Unique offerings and good portions - Edit
We order spring rolls, 2 miso soups, mung-bean pancakes, and 2 rice curries. Everything was delicious and we both left very full. The restaurant has a tranquil ambiance and the staff was very kind. The restaurant essentially appears to be fat-free, which is good for people with cardiovascular disease but may leave people craving some more calories.
Read moreIt conveniently also has a parking lot across the street for easy access to the restaurant.

It was so bad - Edit
I hate to give a bad review to a restaurant owned by nice people but this was the worst place I’ve ever eaten. I think the reviewers are liars I’m sorry 😭. I have eaten a lot of similar foods (in Korea) and food made without oil and salt can taste good… this did not😒the soup tasted like soggy water veggies and the rice on the “sushi” was so hard it hurt my tooth! It was disgusting I spit it out. The kimchi pancakes were ok but undercooked it was kinda gross. Never would eat here again.

Great anniversary dinner - Edit
Love the decor on the walls. The music was simple and relaxing. I had the mung bean pancakes, which were good, but the dipping sauce was addictive. I'm so excited for leftovers! The ice cream was great too.
