The Scene
The stretch of Broadway between Diversey and Belmont isn't exactly teeming with romantic dining options--kebab shops and diners are more the norm--so this low-lit, upscale Korean restaurant feels especially fresh. Stylish, contemporary surroundings--textured, soft gray walls, ambient music, slim black leather chairs--make the professional Lakeview crowd feel right at home, and service is warm and welcoming, too.
The Food
Koryo's user-friendly menu of well-executed Korean rice and noodle dishes make this a solid choice for first-timers and bi bim bop addicts alike. Delicate, flavorful man doo (pan-fried dumplings) make for a delicious start, while deep-fried calamari is cut into thick, meaty hunks--an acquired taste if you're accustomed to lighter, more tender tentacles. Classics like bi bim bop (rice and vegetables topped with a fried egg) and bul ko ki (thinly sliced beef and onions served with lettuce wraps) are delicious, each accompanied by an array of flavorful, colorful side dishes, from sprouts and cucumber to shredded carrots and fish cake.
