Chungkiwa - Mount Prospect

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by a young man and woman who served us throughout the night. We were promptly seated, our drink orders were taken, and the food began to arrive in no time. We ordered the meat and seafood combination, which included marinated beef, chicken, kalbi, shrimp, scallops, and squid, along with wonton soup, hot pot kimchee fried rice, and complimentary banchan. The wonton soup was delicious and the banchan, especially the cucumbers, tofu, and spicy kimchi, were a hit. The main stars of the meal were definitely the meats, which were juicy and tender. The kalbi and chicken were personal favorites. Mixing the banchan with the meat and kimchi fried rice was heavenly. The seafood was also fantastic, fresh off the grill. We ended the meal with complimentary Häagen-Dazs bars, a lovely touch from our waiter. The customer service was exceptional, despite the packed restaurant. The servers were attentive and always ready to assist us. Although the dining room was a bit outdated and the decor was eccentric, the quality of the food and service more than made up for it. The prices are reasonable for the delicious Korean BBQ experience offered. We will definitely be back and will recommend this spot to our friends and family. If you appreciate Korean BBQ, delicious banchan, and great service, you won't be disappointed here.

I have been looking for a legit Korean joint ever since I came back from Korea, this is by far the best Korean restaurant in this country. I highly recommend it you will love it and you will come back many many times. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $30–50

I first off have to say the extreme family like atmosphere, authentic feel, and kindness of the staff made me feel like I was eating in my own house. The food was excellent and their grill to cook the meats on worked without fail and was able to cook veggies outside of the direct heat of the fire, which provided for a more efficient cook. The side dishes were delicious especially the pickled radish. You can tell it’s all homemade. Overall our experience with the food and especially the staff were a home run 10/10 score for us.

It was my first time coming here with my wife. We ordered raw beef, whole noodles, and stir-fried squid, and we were very satisfied with everything. The raw fish was especially delicious. It was the most delicious yukhoe I've had at a Chicago Suburb. The person here seems to cook the food so well that if you order one menu item, you'll be curious about the other menu items as well. I don't think I've ever felt this way since I came down to Chicago... You've prospered, but I hope you'll prosper even more! I am a regular from today.

This cozy Korean BBQ restaurant offers amazing food and top-notch service. Reservations are strongly recommended as it tends to get crowded. It is a family-owned and operated establishment, and the service is exceptional.
