“KKUNNORI” which is gaining popularity in Korea as a place to enjoy simple drinks and snacks, has landed in Northbrook, a suburb of Chicago.
The location is the site of Daedonggak Chinese Restaurant, which has been famous for its Chinese cuisine for a long time. It’s sad that Daedonggak closed, but we also welcome the opening of “KKUNNORI” a popular bar in Korea.
The partial opening was advertised as September 30, 2023, so I looked up the business hours and found that it opens at 4pm on both weekdays and weekends. Closing time is 1AM on Fridays and Saturdays, and at 12PM from Sundays to Thursdays.
Compared to many restaurants that close at 10PM, it is open until late, so it seems to be the best place for late-night gatherings.
Although it is not a “room type” as advertised in Korea, it is a great place for group gatherings as it is separated from the tables next to it by a temporary wall.
Korea’s KKUNNORI restaurant seems to be popular with women on special occasions and people who prefer privacy rather than an open restaurant.
There is a Korean fusion menu, and there seem to be a lot of good dishes to snack on. Now, rather than drinking at a Korean restaurant, I think we can invite foreign guests to drink together at a Korean-style bar with delicious snacks.
The menu offers a variety of snacks that can be enjoyed by many people, including light meals (K-Food).
The Cheese Chicken and Kkabarou that I ordered tasted healthier than expected, not too salty or too spicy.

There are many Korean restaurants here in Chicago and its surrounding areas. However, unlike in Los Angeles or New York, there are no large-scale or specialized Korean restaurants.
A long time ago, there were successful restaurants in Korea and the United States, such as Woo Rae-ok, but they did not last long.
There are many cases where Koreans who live here or who come from Korea to the United States as tourists look for a good Korean restaurant, but either give up because there is no suitable place, or regret it after stopping by.
There have been many times when we invited foreign guests here and were disappointed because the service and food were poor.
To prepare for these things, I would like to introduce Korean restaurants that I have visited that are overall recommended in terms of service and food.

K-Bob은 최근의 한국 분심점이라고 생각하고 가면 딱 좋은 곳이다. 가격도 착하고(적당한 양의 가격이라고 생각하면 됨.) 옛날에는 한국의 시장골목이나 길거리(노포)의 음식이기도 했지만 깨끗한 곳에서 파는 맛나는 분식 음식점이라고 보면 된다. 김밥도 밥보다는 내용물에 충실한 맛나고 다양한 종류의 김밥을 만날수 있었다.
순대는 다소 맛이 떨어졌지만 아마도 순대가 전공이 아닌듯 하지만 K 컬쳐등 미국의 한류붐을 타고 미국인들의 입맛에는 꼭 맞을듯 하다. 한국분식점의 중요 음식으로는 김밥, 라면, 만두, 순대, 그리고 방점을 찍는 떡볶이다. 김밥, 떡볶이는 이미 수준급의 맛을 내어주고 있었다. 그외에 아마도 시도해보지 않았던 컵밥일터인데 이미 한국식 컵밥은 미국 길거리에서 많이 보이는 푸드 트럭들에서 가장 많이 팔리는 인기 음식들중의 하나이다. 떡볶이는 솔직히 미국인들의 입맛에 잘 맞질 않는다. 입안에서 끈적거리는 떡과 매운맛 그리고 국물등이 미국사람들의 입에는 생소하기 때문이다. 하지만 이마저도 점점 미국사람들 입맛에 익숙하게 만들었다. 아마도 나같이 한국에서 오래 살다가 온 사람들은 이곳이 별로라고 생각하겠지만 이곳에서 태어난 2세거나 한류에 관심이 많은 미국사람들에게는 딱인 음식점일 것이다.
