Kimchi Pop By Chef Son - Chicago

The restaurant offers excellent food and quick service, all while enjoying beautifully filmed K-pop videos. I highly recommend trying the spicy pork bulgogi, and the self-serve banchans are a definite bonus!

This small, charming neighborhood restaurant offers absolutely incredible dishes that are authentic and delicious. The chef clearly cares about the customer experience, as they personally came out to give us a special treat.

I have been frequenting Kimchipop for a while now and while the food is good, I believe the staff are being unfairly treated. On two separate occasions, I have discovered that the tip I left on my takeout order does not actually go to the workers, as they only receive cash tips. This doesn't seem right or legal to me. The employees are very pleasant and I appreciate their hard work, so I believe they should receive all tips. As a result, I have made the decision to no longer dine at Kimchipop and all of my friends have also agreed to boycott the restaurant until this policy changes.

Very good vegetarian options! We got the glass noodles and the soondupu stew. Both very flavorful

The place is great! It isn?t your typical Korean joint, but it does have a simple menu with the basics covered. Honestly, it makes all the difference that the menu has allergies like gluten listed. I?ve tried a bit of everything on the menu and it allholds up in terms of quality. It?s all tasty, consistent, and best of all in the neighborhood. The one weakness that is a bit oftrade off is the banchan. You serve yourself in the restaurant, which is awesome, but the selection is limited and the qualityvaries compared to a more typical Korean joint.
