SoJu BBQ

Super GemWest Loop · Korean BBQ Community-sourced, unverified
📍 36 S Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60607

SoJu BBQ runs the full Korean tabletop lineup — short rib, bulgogi, kalbi, fire chicken, pork belly, brisket — in a West Loop room built for the actual grilling-at-the-table experience rather than a quick-service version of it.

$$$
Bulgogi fries and kimchi dumplings alongside a full Korean BBQ tabletop lineup — a West Loop spot that also shows up on the Zabihah halal-restaurant directory.

The crossover dish worth knowing about is the bulgogi fries, a fusion move reviewers keep bringing up unprompted, alongside kimchi dumplings as the starter of choice. The restaurant also shows up on Zabihah, the halal restaurant directory, which is worth knowing if that's a dietary requirement, though the restaurant doesn't make the claim explicitly on its own site.

One stale regional listing had marked it permanently closed, but the restaurant's own working reservation and ordering links confirm it's very much open for business.
