Was craving some Korean bbq so headed to Hwang Soh Grill. All the meats were delicious. The brisket was tender and meaty…not just fat. Glad we went for the pricier Berkshire pork belly. It was so meaty, juicy and flavourful. We got two orders, which was a lot for four people. The pork belly paired well with the fried rice that comes at the end.

OMG. So delicious. This is my favorite Korean restaurant in Chicago. Place is clean and the owner is super sweet and attentive. The side dishes has so much flavors and it compliments the main dish so well. Everything on the menu is so good and you can get wrong. Last night I left my Valentino purse and when I went back the owner remembered and brought it out. Phew, It would have been a disaster. Thank you!

I recently had a very disappointing dining experience at a this restaurant. From the moment we entered, the server's attitude was marked by a blatant lack of professionalism and disinterest in providing good service. Their rudeness made us feel like an inconvenience rather than valued customers. They charge 20% gratuity to your bill. To make matters worse, during the checkout process, the server stared at us with a judgmental gaze, leaving us feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. The possibility of being discriminated against based on our race further deepened our disappointment. In conclusion, this restaurant failed to meet even the basic standards of courteous and attentive service. We believe that all restaurants should prioritize exceptional customer service and foster an inclusive and welcoming environment for all patrons. Unfortunately, this establishment fell far short of these expectations, leaving us with a lasting negative impression. We hope that the management takes our feedback seriously and takes steps to improve their service and ensure fairness and inclusivity in the future.

Terrible service, the server made bbq for us and the food was nice unit she left without telling us if we can eat. Then the meat burned and our dish was ruined. Or maybe that’s how Korean people make bbq? Will never come again.

Great place for Korean BBQ. Best intestines I ever had in the area, clean and no weird smell or flavor. And at end of the bbq, they would also make fried kimchi rice which is crunchy and flavorful. I was pretty full after the regular dishes and did not plan to have fried rice, but it is so good that I ended up eating a whole bowl.

Great friendly staff; they cook for you. Good sides. Great food. Kpop blaring on all screens if you're into that. Great atmosphere. Good for smaller groups 5-6. I would call ahead for bigger groups. 10/10 spent over 100 for 4 ppl. Decent.

I used to live in Korea so I often miss the Korean food there and want to go to different restaurants to have the food. After looking on Google I decided on Hwang Soh Grill for the high ratings, but the experience was just okay. It was just two of us. We are “foreigners” and it was my friend’s first experience with Kbbq and Korean food. We ordered 2 servings of SamgyeopSal, a sprite , and two bowls of rice. Our entire order came to about $50 dollars. I do not recall if gratuity was included, but I’ve read the review that some customers were charged gratuity. The side dishes were pretty good, we were also given two cups of water (they did not offer refills of water to us while we ate). The samgyeopsal was pretty bland in taste. I think only pepper was added. They do grill the meat for you. However, the server grilling for us became busy as more people arrived and we ended up turning the grill off and turning the meat ourselves to avoid burning our meat. Since we could see that others had came in and were waiting to be seated we planned to prepare to leave. We were not there long. We came in after many parties and left before them as well. Without asking a server came to our table and put the meat in our plates and took the grilling tray. Then we were brought our check. When I went up to pay, it was a bit awkward. I don’t know who the man behind the counter responsible for cashing us out was, but he looked strangely at my receipt after I signed and said “No tip?” I shook my head politely even though now was really uncomfortable and awkward. And then he rudely stated, “we neeeeed tip!” I was very shocked that he would say something like this. I was also confused as this is not how we go about our tipping culture here in the States and the tipping culture in restaurants in Korea is nonexistent. So what made him think it was okay to demand a tip from a customer? I am not sure and cannot answer that question. Anyways, I told this bold man that an additional tip could not be demanded from a customer. I returned to my table and me and my friend exited the building. I didn’t even wait to put my jacket on before leaving. I am so sad that my friends first experience with Korean food and culture was like this. Lastly, I do have some tip for you here. If you want people to tip you and give you more of their hard earned money, you have to provide the best service and experience for each customer. Tips are not something you should automatically be given. It is for going above and beyond for the customer.

Beware! The prices have increased significantly. For example, the seafood pancake now costs $28!?! Price doubled from two years ago. You can check the menu pictures - it went $13->$15->$18. The seafood pancake was only $18 11 months ago… They were stingy with the banchans - can’t take the leftovers to go. Haven’t been to a Korean place that won’t let you take them home if you don’t finish. I wonder if they reuse the banchans…. Service as always is lacking.

Wonderful meal and fantastic experience, the complimentary sides are great and the meat melted in my mouth! We will be back soon to try the brisket, make sure you go before 6:30pm if you don’t want to wait in line.
