Mmenu changes constantly and you should definitely get a reservation in advance. Korean-American restaurant has gotten noticed by just about everyone, and for good reason. While you'll rarely find the same dishes on the menu from visit to visit (with the exception of the wonderful baked potato bread), each item is carefully thought out and the dining experience is always great. What's not to like when everything is reasonably priced in a comfortable space with great wine?

Honey Butter Fried Chicken has somewhat of a following in Chicago, which makes sense to anyone who's been there. Crisp skin engulfs juicy and tender meat that you can slather with sweet honey butter. We're suckers for the sandwiches, but whatever jumps out to you on the menu will be great, as long as you're grabbing a side of the creamy pimento mac and cheese—it's an absolute necessity. Pro-tip: Take this one to-go and head over to Revolution for an evening of beer and chicken.
