Get the now-iconic Italian beef sandwich: thinly sliced, marinated beef, peppers and spicy giardiniera on a soak-it-all-up roll ($5.50 for a regular; $7.70 for a large) Read more.
No other Italian beef in town tastes quite like the original Al's #1 Italian Beef. The meat roasts with a collection of spices, accentuating each bite while never overwhelming the beefy flavor.
Try one of the dipped beef sandwiches - they've been a Chicago staple for 70 years. As seen on Man v Food: Chicago.
Amazing Korean BBQ available in town. Do yourself a favor and gather a group of friends for a night of fantastic food.
Great food, shit service...
Bad service, but with food this good who cares?
For BBQ, get option 1 (non marinated beef), it's delicious. The bulgogi is subpar, so is the seafood pancake. Remember the banchan is unlimited so ask for seconds!
Amazing Korean BBQ! Usually long line waiting outside so you get plenty of time absorb the great smell. Make sure you get kimchi fried rice. Soooooo good....
Get the chadolbagi - at the end they cook the rice and leftovers all together on the grill. Delicious!
Really wonderful ramen!! Never disappointed. Good rolls to be had as well. Truly a hidden neighborhood gem.
Try the spicy tuna tartare tower with house-fried tortilla chips and sweet sauce to start — the hot stone bibimbap entree ($15.95) pops with color and flavor in any iteration. Read more.
Salmon tartar
Try the El Apache Burrito - Really do love this combination of food, marinated steak, and that verde sauce!!
Some of the best wings we've ever had: cooked perfectly, sweet but not too sweet, perfectly sauced
Sweet potato fries and holly quacamole appetizers are both delicious.
The tortas el solazo de asada and carnitas are the best!!!
I can forgive them for not including the traditional pickled red onions because they nail the balance of achiote and pork in the recipe. The spice level is just right.
It's always full of cops.
The ribs, steaks, calamari. The dinner menu offers great choices. Lunch menu needs improvements. Very pleasant environment.
Very good food with good size portions that won't hurt your wallet. The desserts are awesome. I suggest the Captain Jacks Buried Treasure. It's big enough to share!
Good fries and good service. The blackened chicken sandwich was a little mild on the flavor.
Love the marinated galbi. Chadol. And top off with samgyupsal (pork belly and kimchi) with fried rice at the end. Also, Ask for Pete. You will be treated like VIP. :)
Make sure that after you bbq, you ask the server to fry rice and your leftover veggies on the grill. Oh, and crack an egg.
Korean coal-fire barbeque is igniting on the Far North Side, bringing attention from critics and eaters alike.
Some of the best thin crust pizza in Chicago! Try the "white pizza"...only hold the onions. Garlic feta fries are amazing too.
The cookie skillet is addictive. Really.
The special is free garlic fries. They are awesome! There's bits of garlic baked on them. Try it!
Fantastic little place with fresh food and sweet servers. The crab rangoon is great! The dessert tray was great!
The rolls taste amazing and have the most beautiful presentation
Great place - bento box and godzilla roll recommended!! They also made us this very thoughtful and sweet dessert!!
Everything here is delicious and wait staff is friendly! If you are picky and gluten free, ask for corn tortilla quesadillas!
You'll wait 60 mins and the meal takes 30, but worth it. Put your name in and get a beer at Southport Lanes across the street.
Nice but kind of overpriced. Good strawberry margaritas. Server said a pitcher was “just five dollars more” than 2 margs and wow I’m a sucker, that was nowhere near true.
One of my fav dish to get is the bo la lot.
Banh xeo here is big and delicious!
Hawaiian wrap is great!
The Saigon crêpe is one wonderful thin crisp rice-flour pancake packed with all sorts of goodies.
The food is very good, the service is to be desired...😠
Great back patio!!!!
Get the Chicken Shawarma with extra hot sauce.
Fantastic falafel
We had a great dining experience! Service was friendly and accomodating. Food was tasty and very good for value!
Best German pizza place in the neighborhood.
This place is terrible. The menu is the same except they added 4-5 German entrees. Never again. They need a complete overhaul
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
