The Best Korean Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Korean flavors and French techniques come together at this eight-course tasting menu spot in West Town. Some dishes are straightforward like tteokbokki with creamy quail egg and punchy mustard seed. But the less conventional dishes show off Jeong’s creativity best, like salmon tartare with earthy dwenjang gastrique and crispy rice, or refreshing kkaetnip granita with pear gelee that perfectly bridges the savory and dessert courses. At $145, it’s not cheap, but the excellent food and intimate, minimalist space is a great choice for a special date night, or a dinner with a few friends and their surprisingly big tax refunds." - john ringor, adrian kane
