As has been mentioned by other reviewers, the University of Illinois has a large Korean student body and the restaurant is usually busy with Korean eaters. Springing from that vote of confidence, I have returned to this restaurant numerous times as both the food and service are great. The free Korean appetizers give a nice overview of some classic dishes such as kimchi, other vegetables in many types of sauces, and soy-boiled eggs. Coming to the main dish, I usually order a seafood plate with either squid or a variety of fish. Their mixed seafood platters are so good that I have not tried anything else. Next time I plan on choosing another menu option.

I liked this so much last month that this time I went in person and took two family members along. They really liked it, too. It's not super fast because they seem to be preparing the food when you order it, not waiting under a hot lamp. Cheap eats and huge portions.

When it comes to Korean food, I have my definite favorites, and this place has them! I just love the sizzling hot bowl recipes...Dolsot Bibimbop. This place has two varieties: seafood or bulgogi (beef) with vegetables. AND they will make you a pancake. (I like the scallion and squid) offered as an appetizer but great as a full meal!The restaurant itself is rather Spartan (certainly OK with me). You order at the counter, they deliver to the table. No kimchi was offered, which was a surprise, since most Korean meals involve lots of little side dishes preceding the meal. Drinks are pretty much whatever comes in a can or bottle from their refrigerator. Again, no problem, but not very fancy.Several menu items that we didn't get to try, but looked interesting...the Egg Dduokbaegi (Korean style egg custard in clay pot) and a collection of desserts called "Snow Bingsu" (Korean ice slush). We watched the construction of a Bingsu and it looks awesome. We will be back.
