About Palilgu

Korean Pub and Kitchen

Palilgu is a korean restaurant in Chicago, Illinois. It is listed at 2115 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647, which places it among the local businesses of Chicago that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Chicago, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across Illinois run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Hours are published for 4 days a week. On most of those days it is open 5–9:30 pm. Note that it does not open on Monday, Tuesday, Sunday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. The listed phone number is (773) 697-4286. Many businesses also reply to text messages on the same number if it is a cell phone. Its website is palilgu.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

Customers rate it 4.6 out of 5 on Google across 250 reviews, placing it among the better-regarded korean restaurants in Chicago.

Chicago is in Illinois, in the Midwest, where summers are warm, winters are cold and snowy, and most errands are done by car; businesses keep steady year-round hours with the usual holiday changes. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Chicago follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

They do Korean Fried Chicken so right! I tried it here when they were in their West Loop location but the new location is prime. The service and food tasted so much better this time around. I love the ambience of the space, the drinks were delicious, and everything we ordered came out perfection. 10/10

During my visit, the limits of my spice tolerance were tested and thoroughly surpassed. Despite the weakness of my taste buds, the food was delicious! The service was great, too - the waiter who served me very kindly helped me decide between two dishes and explained the differences between them. I had the tteokppoki and the soon dubu jjigae. I want to visit again sonetime to try the scallion pancake and the kimchi fried rice.

The food and service were great! Most of our dishes were delicious, and everything came out in a timely manner. I was a little disappointed in the side banchan. While the potato salad was good, one of the sides seemed to be plain boiled broccoli with a very lightly drizzled gochujang (or similar) sauce, which felt lacking compared to the rest of the meal. That said, we really enjoyed the Palilgu wings with the soy garlic sauce, and the corn cheese was amazing. Our waitress was attentive and very nice. Overall, a good experience and worth trying!

I usually dont leave reviews but this resto deserves it! I’ve lived in Korea and was so impressed with the food here, felt like I was transported back <3 got the LA galbi, tteokbokki, bibimbap, and strawberry bingsu. Will definitely go back to try their other dishes~ @teureissi

Palilgu serves modern Korean fare with thoughtful preparation and balanced flavors. We tried the beef tartare, sablefish, tteokbokki, eel donburi, and squid stir-fry. The tartare was a standout - well seasoned with sesame and fresh herbs. and the sablefish was incredibly rich and umami, easily the most memorable dish of the night. The tteokbokki had the perfect chewy texture and portion, comforting without being too heavy, while the eel donburi came out fragrant with crisped claypot rice. The squid stir-fry was classic and satisfying, though less distinctive. The restaurant itself is woodsy and intimate with a number of cozy booth seating. Portions lean small, though the quality of each dish makes it a pleasant Korean dining experience nonetheless.
