En Hakkore Bibimbap & Taco

"En Hakkore is a great Bucktown restaurant to have in your back pocket. This Korean fusion spot works well as a serious takeout operation, or for a quick meal if you want to dine-in. The menu is pretty slim, but it works, because everything on it tastes great. And our three favorite things we have in our rotation are the bibimbap, sashimi-bap and paratha tacos. The bibimbap consists of veggies, your choice of spicy pork or Korean BBQ, plus white rice, brown rice, or black rice. The sashimi-bap is the same, but with your choice of seafood. But where you really want to go wild is on the tacos. Their tacos are wrapped in flaky paratha, and they're absolutely delicious. Food Rundown Jap Chae Sweet potato glass noodles stir-fried in sesame oil with some vegetables and korean beef. These slippery little babies make for a great appetize. Bibimbap Bowl As we mentioned, a whole bunch of veggies, your choice of spicy pork or korean barbecue beef, plus white rice, brown rice, or black rice. Our move is the Korean beef with brown rice. Paratha Tacos These tacos are incredible. If we had to pick some of our favorite stand-alone dishes, these are creeping their way up the list. A mix of veggies, your choice of spicy pork or Korean beef (either is acceptable), and topped with spicy mayo either way. The flakey paratha they serve it on it was makes these tacos next level. Sashimi-Bap We are big fans of this sashimi-bap. It’s similar to the bibimbap, but instead of your choice of meat, you get raw tuna, salmon, white tuna, tilapia, and shrimp." - Sam Faye

"The menu is short but sweet at this Korean-fusion spot. Customers can get bowls of bibimbap, mandu dumplings, japchae, and tacos served on Indian-style paratha. A sister restaurant, En Hakkore 2.0 in Wicker Park, offers items like kimchi, sushi bowls, and bulgogi fries" - Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam

"En Hakkore, Bucktown. This counter service Korean spot has a small but impressive menu. This is a great place to get a giant bowl of bibimbap and although its a huge bowl, it taste light and extraordinarily fresh. The Korean tacos are also a great get."

"TaKorea Cocina commandeered a food truck belonging to Giant in Logan Square to hand out meals to those experiencing homelessness." - Ariel Parrella-Aureli

"If you’re looking for a quick and casual dinner in Wicker Park, En Hakkore is a good choice. The Korean-inspired menu is small, but you’re here for one of two things: either their take on bibimbap, which is lighter than usual (with 16 different veggies, rice, and your choice of protein), or the sashimi-bap, which is five different kinds of sashimi over a vegetable-filled salad. The food tastes great, and you’ll definitely feel good about yourself after eating it." - josh barnett, sam faye
