SGD is my favorite spot for delicious Korean food. One thing I appreciate about this place is its consistent quality. I usually order the spicy chicken bibimbap or the bento box. Although the bento box is on the pricier side, the portions are quite generous. SGD also serves some of the best banchan—always fresh and if you ask for more, they are very generous with the servings. Hot tea is served at the table as well. The bulgogi can be hit or miss; sometimes it’s lean, while other times it contains fatty and chewy pieces. Their seafood pancake is excellent too.

During my recent lunch visit, the food was quite impressive, earning a solid 4 out of 5. However, the service left much to be desired, resulting in a disappointing 1 out of 5. The atmosphere was average, sitting at a 3 out of 5—nothing exceptional but not completely off-putting either. Overall, while the meal itself was enjoyable, the service issues overshadowed the experience.

I love this place, o often goes there. Today I went there with my brother and his wife. I paid t and tipped. While we were walking out the door waiter came to us asked “if service was bad or what was the problem, we told him there was problem, everything was good as always” then he s”asked why we tipped only 5$ which was made me really embarrassed, koz I paid and I tipped- only problem was I had only one card forgot my wallet at home there wasn’t enough money, it wasn’t planned dinner. I hope that waiter never ever in my position in the future, thank you so much.
We were told if we are done because there are customers waiting. Basically, one of the staff told us to leave*. All I can say is we felt discriminated because we are not Koreans. I guess Korean customers gets the top billing. Others are second class customers and ok to kick you out. You would think. We were not even 1 hour yet. And there were 9 of us. This place needs to train their staff more professionally. This is our first time and not coming back here ever.

The Kimchi Pancake here is exceptional—arguably the best in Chicago, even better than the seafood pancake. The staff is always friendly and attentive. It's a perfect spot to visit, especially with the colder months approaching. Thank you, SGD team! Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner.
