The Amitabul story begins in Seoul, Korea, where a 13-year-old Bill Choi watches and learns traditional Korean fermentation techniques from his mother and grandmother.
The dish is an unexpected hit and Bill is encouraged to start his own restaurant, specializing in his unique approach, a vegan merging of traditional Korean preparation and Western taste.
Today, I use the same attention to detail, I use the same attention to details and care in every dish that my grandmother taught me.

My partner and I went for dine in yesterday ( we have ordered delivery in the past), and had a great experience!

I was very excited to try the food here and it didn’t disappoint! My fiancée who is picky with vegetables liked his entree which made me happy! I got the kimchi tofu patties and they were delicious but I do think the texture was a bit off-putting at first (tofu is quite soft but mixed with lightly cooked vegetables) and I did not care for the sauce. We shared the dumpling appetizer and red bean small cake and ginger apple juice which were all delightful. Though it can be expensive if you get an appetizer and dessert, the portions are all generous and we had a lot of leftovers!

I’m very confident about giving this place a 5-star rating!

One of the best vegan restaurants I’ve ever been to. The food is overall delicious, flavorful, not too greasy or salty. My friend and I had Dr. K’s soup, vegan dumplings, and yin and yang dish, all were worth trying. The ginger citron tea was soothing. I wish I had more of a stomach to try the other dishes on the menu. Def will have to come back soon!

I’m not even a vegetarian or vegan, and I still love this place. The tastes are great, portions are large and filling. The food actually makes you feel good and this has successfully crossed paths between healthy and tasting great for me. Thanks!

It’s a little off beat experience in the middle of Milwaukee Ave. The people working were lovely and attentive. There isn’t any meat served here, so carnivores beware. It’s a Buddhist approach to eating healthy, and a great experience all around! I had the kimchi tofu soup, which they say is great for a cold or flu, but take heed to their warnings when they tell you (on the menu) you will sweat!

My mom and I came to this restaurant when we were on a short vacation to Chicago. We ordered lots of great food like the Dr.K Cure all noodle soup, the mandoos, and the Yin and Yang. Their food was amazing. Their spice levels were perfect and it was so nice to have something with a kick to it. Since they make it fresh they also adjust the spice level to your request. The fresh seasonal vegetables were cooked perfectly. I wish we had this near our home.

Wow! I was in Chicago for a day-and-a-half and ate here twice! Phenomenal food and energy in this place. The soups, the stews, the noodles, everything works together beautifully

Oh boy, where to start. Finally dined in at Amitabul and were beyond amazed with the food and hospitality. Do have the Energy Ginger to start with vs Green Tea. We ordered the dumplings off the Appetizers and they were fresh and light. We ordered a dumpling noodle soup and Bibimbap and they came out fresh, full of veggies and flavor. We are coming back to try more things off the menu. There is little to no oil used in prep of the food.

We had a fun group of vegan foodies. The dishes were beautifully plated and served! You get a lot of food per order. Chef served us!! The peaceful atmosphere was a great change of pace! Low I’m, musical chimes and great smelling incense. You choose: mild, medium, hot!
