16 Restaurants To Make You Fall In Love With Chicago Again - Chicago - The Infatuation

"Cho Sun Ok so often has people waiting outside, standing in line is basically tradition. But the wait is worth it, and it's also a chance to catch your breath before this nonstop Korean BBQ sprint. The servers ask for your order shortly after you're seated, so have a plan ready (get the bulgogi, galbi, plus japchae and seafood pajeon). And the food appears faster than it takes to drink half a can of BYOBeer. Before you know it, the meat is gone, and the staff is making kimchi fried rice on the grill for “dessert.” It’s an energetic meal, especially when you’re in a room full of chatty regulars, and we wouldn’t have it any other way." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
