[Enjoy Chicago] Best Korean-style fried chicken restaurants in Chicago area

When I visited Korea, the most delicious chicken restaurant I had in Korea was bbq chicken. I prefer a mild taste rather than seasoning, bbq chicken’s Golden Olive Chicken was perfect for my taste.

A few months later, when I came back to the US, bbq chicken caught my eye in the Chicago area.

Choong Man Chicken(CM Chicken), a Korean-style chicken restaurant that opened last year, is also my favorite, but I didn’t know that the bbq chicken I ate in Korea would be so close to where I live.

Chicago, Arlington Heights, Vernon Hill, Niles, and Spring Grove are already open, and Schaumburg, Lincoln Park, and Rolling Meadows are scheduled to open soon.

Choong Man Chicken also continues to open branches.

In addition to the first store opened in Glenview, close to the Joong Boo market(중부시장), the second store opened in Aurora and the third store was opened in Lincoln Wood.

Chicken is the best choice for a snack or side dish to pick up and eat during the pandemic. The recommended menu is definitely the Snow Onion Chicken.

[Enjoy Chicago] Iron Age Korean Steak House, Glenview

A new steak house(ALL YOU CAN EAT) has opened in Glenview, a suburb of Chicago. I saw in the newspaper that it opened at the end of 2019, but I haven’t been there, but I finally have a place to go.

The Korean Steak Buffet is priced from $25 to $30, so you don’t have to go there unless it’s a special day.

First of all, it is good that it is located in the Korean commercial district, which is popular in the suburbs of Chicago.

After eating at Iron Age, it is convenient to go to the nearby Korean bakery Tous Les Jours or Paris Baguette to eat dessert with coffee and cake, and then go to JoongBoo Market, a Korean mart to buy groceries.

The Glenview area has become a popular destination for Koreans in Chicago, both young and old.

Iron Age’s address is 4513 W Lake Ave, Glenview, IL 60025, and the menu can be found on the website.
ironagekoreansteakhouse.com/menu.

According to the website, Iron Age was a franchise restaurant that had already been opened in many places in the United States, including DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, GEORGIA, and ILLINOIS.

When you open the door and step inside, it is modern and different from the typical buffet restaurant. Large screens are installed on the walls on all sides, showing videos of Korean idol groups. The music is also K-pop.

We ordered all kinds of beef, pork belly, steamed egg, and Spicy Rice Cake, and they were all delicious.

One thing to point out… I wanted to eat hot stew with the steak, but stews are not on the menu.
