It was our second time coming here at Ssyal! It was so good last time we came here again and it did not disappoint. The food was perfect and tasted very nice. The owner was also very kind and friendly which made the experience even better! Thank you for the great food!

One of the best and cutest Korean spots here! The food is authentic, refreshing and delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back here with our kids for the samgyetang. Thank you!

The food here was delicious and tasted home-cooked. We got the chicken soup and spicy squid stir fry. Both were excellent.

Hands down best Korean food in Chicago. The most authentic, healthy and energizing food♥️ try the new gabi-jjim! So good. Also, you can always upgrade regular rice to multi-grain sweet rice which I highly recommend.

This was my first time at this restaurant. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The Korean decorations and decore created a comfortable and authentic atmosphere. I ordered the Korean fried chicken for takeout. The food was ready in about 20 minutes. The fried chicken came with rice, bean sprouts, peanuts, and kimchi taro. Chicken was delicious.

Food was amazing and tasted delicious. We got the Dolsot Bibimbap, Ssyal Samgye Tang and mandu dumplings along with bonchon (the side dishes that come with every meal). Everything came out hot and well seasoned. It tasted like a true home cooked Korean meal, the best kind of food to eat. I came with my mom and she said it tasted like her grandmother’s food which is the best compliment. Would def come here again!

We are visiting from out of town and really wanted some Korean food so stopped here because of the high reviews. It’s really good! The chicken soup is amazing. I tried the yukgaejang and got it medium spicy…it wasn’t really what I was expecting I think the spicy is probably better. I wasn’t sure which was the regular way to get it, usually I haven’t had to choose a spice level before. It was still pretty good and the banchans were very good!

I loves Korean food that I almost have it every week. It’s my first time in the neighborhood on a Friday night . When I step in here I was greeted with a friendly lady and help with sitting me down. Despite it took a while for them to take my order, I was helped and ordered with recommendations. Food service was fast, even though there’s only 2 servers. Overall food was great, I over ordered for a party of 5 and asked for extra kimchi. Yet, I still enjoyed food and service here very much. I will revisit again when I am at the neighborhood.

Super authentic Korean food in Chicago, good portions and comes with all the banchan side dishes and barley tea. Great ambiance. Menu is not very vegetarian friend however unlike other Korean restaurants since no substitutions are allowed.
