Growing up, in the area, I often passed by BDG with my family and was very curious about it. Years later, my friend introduced me to this place. I have been coming here since and also have introduced this place to friends. June, Jin and many of the other staff have been amazing, and they are so talented and so kind! One of my favorite and go to places! The food is beyond compare too! The people there are very friendly too!
Always a good time and the food is yummy and the drinks are good- Jun (the owner) made a fresh watermelon and tequila drink for me. He likes to play around with drinks, which is always fun! Got the spicy pork belly kimchi tofu and purple rice, which was yummy!
Having slept on this hidden oasis, me and the crew have become regulars. Angry. Asian. Wings. The way Jun describes his cooking method the first time you order them, your pants will moisten while you listen to the process of perfection. Tots topped with bulgogi and kim chi? Totally. Get the gizzards too. Throw in a few bottles of soju while you’re at it. And marvel at the bathrooms, for real.
I had a great experience dining alone. My server a fellow Filipino was very kind and talking to me to make sure everything was alright when someone who was very drunk came to my table. The server assured me and left me with a good safe all around pleasant experience. I dont come often but I was greeted by June with a genuine warm smile. Always nice to see how popping it is here. Very fun place and great tasty food. 10/10
The owner and the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly. Shoutout to Jun and Franz! We ordered a pitcher of the strawberry soju. It was a lovely surprise that it was a slushy cocktail. It was delicious! My friends came after eating dinner, so we didn't order any food except the appetizer plate. I will definitely be coming back to try the food!
We walked in and asked for a table for 6, initially the waiter said it'll be minutes and they're just cleaning the tables, and then all of a sudden the waiter comes back and tells us that the table is reserved and they don't have a seat for us. We asked them how long the wait will be for another table and the waiter refused to answer us and said "unforeseeable future, I think you guys should look for somewhere else to eat", so we walked out and had a weird feeling about everything, and felt like we were profiled. The moment we went outside, we called and asked how long it would take for a table, and they informed me that they had a table ready already! We went back in to confront the waiter and he said "I misspoke, a table won't be ready for another 30 minutes"! Very disappointed at the service, and it was a horrible way to be treated! I don't recommend anyone to go to this place!
No match to Jun's place in the north burbs.
This is that kind of place one would go to decompress and just get out of the house at night. Highly recommend the spicy tteokkbokki with peach soju. Jun, the owner, is personable, intelligent, Jack of all trades. He’s a fascinating individual to get to know. The place is really chill, patrons around the bar are usually down for conversations. Rest of the staff is pretty cool too.
Food is topnotch!Can't wait to go back.Best wings ever!!
Nestled in the Talisman Shopping Center with a simple entrance is a door that transports you to a sports bar with some amazing umami packed dishes. It’s actually a gastropub… but don’t let that scare you sports fans…there’s multiple TVs. June greeted us and we quickly felt like we had been visiting this establishment for years…this was our first visit.We started with Beef Mandoo, an airy flavorful beef fried dumpling served with a lite spicy soy dipping sauce.O-Deng Tuk Bok EE - described as spicy rice cakes and fishcakes. What arrived looked more like a stew. Delectable!!! The rice cakes are more like dumplings accompanied by fish cakes of all shapes, all of which is smothered in a homemade chili sauce. Smash one of the eggs that comes with it to lessen the bite of the chili. I was loving the sauce so June recommended a side of rice. Not plain white rice…no no no…this is a custom blend of various grains.Bulgogi Burger -wow! A flavorful moist mound of bulgogi beef topped with lettuce, tomato and cheddar cheese…we also added bacon. This is a formidable burger!A fabulous end to an evening!
