Super GemChicago Exclusive Gem$$Beyond the pork belly, there's kalbi (marinated short rib) and a couple of other premium cuts, each served with sides like kimchi and bean-paste tofu soup -- regulars also point to the naengmyeon (cold noodles) as some of the best in the Chicago area, a real claim for a menu this stripped-down. It's a la carte, not all-you-can-eat, and it runs pricier than that distinction might suggest -- figure on real money for a table of three once the sides and soup are factored in. No website, no reservations; it's a walk-in operation in a small strip-mall plaza with limited parking, and it fills up.
Yelp has it around 3.8 across roughly 240 reviews. No happy hour or discount to report here -- premium cuts at premium prices is the whole model.
