I used to love going the The Garden Buffet, in fact, that's how I found this site. There was an LTH gathering there one night I was there and I was intrigued. The BBQ Buffet is great, lots of food, but there is so much more to Korean food then just the BBQ.
For traditional Korean table service,
Oh Bok Jung,
5819 Dempster St Morton Grove, IL is FANTASTIC! I think you all will really enjoy it. Instead of the BBQ, they serve traditional Korean entrees and also these table top Jung gols, a type of soup that is cooked that the table.
We have eaten Korean all over the city, our first date 20 years ago was for Korean food, and hands down, I think Oh Bok Jung is the BEST!
Thought I would share this, as I love reading the recommendations from others![/b]
