Del Seoul.

Ever since it opened only a few months ago, Rob and I have heard nothing but rave reviews about Del Seoul, one of Chicago’s first Korean Street BBQ restaurants.  After salivating over the menu, we knew we had to try it out for ourselves.  We finally stopped there one weekend night—right before we were about to see a movie later, hence the not-so-glamorous car pictures below—and it completely lived up to our expectations.  Rob got the BBQ chicken banh mi sandwich, which was huge but a great take on traditional banh mi sandwiches.  I tried two sesame-chili shrimp tacos and one grilled beef short rib taco, all of which were excellent.  I was concerned that the shrimp tacos would have too much spice, but fortunately I didn’t find them to be too overwhelming at all.  Del Seoul’s free ingredients and ridiculously cheap prices will definitely have Rob and I coming back for seconds sometime soon.
