Golden Durebak - Restaurant in Buffalo Grove - 718 S Buffalo Grove Rd, USA

Such a great experience! My fiancé and I came here for the first time and ordered the stone bulgogi bowl and it was super tasty. Definitely coming back here again.

Great food and friendly services. Really good stir fry spicy pork belly and Kimchi jjigae (spicy Kimchi soup). They offered a lot of Korean beer and Korean rice wine, which is perfect for dinner. Restaurant located in the strip mall and free parking on front

Best Korean restaurant. I’ve frequented many Korean restaurants, and this one is my favorite by far. Amazing food, and impeccable service. The food is always fresh, and hot. Just how I like it. You also get plenty of little side dishes with your order. Another great thing is you never feel rushed when eating here. Great food, friendly service, and nice ambiance. I would highly recommend.

Ordered yugaejang (spicy beef soup with vegetables) and galbitang (beef ribs soup with radish). Soup tasted good. It would be better if there were more meat in the soup. Dining area is clean.

Service was bad. Waitress didn’t know the what is in the menu! Even she recommended different restaurants for us 🤷‍♀️. She didn’t bring one of my food and already added my check. Tip is included in the checks 20% we paid but waitress come to outside parking asking the tips. Very rude. Never happened to me before this bad service….

Update: I hate giving bad reviews. But that's just not serious! I ordered a soup for to go. One soup - kimchi, tofu, pork and shrimp. It actually had ONE shrimp with all its precious excrements, 2-3 tiny slices of pork, no kimchi and looots of tofu. Also, as a present, I guess, they left a few pieces of egg shells. I found them piece after piece while eating the 'delicious' soup. And the biggest surprise was that piece of plastic (or may be shrimp shell?!) in the soup. Pictures attached. There was literally only one table with 2 costumers inside when I ordered my SOUP. Ecxuse my ignorance, but how do you expect more costumers if you don't pay attention when preparing your food? You can read my review below of when you opened your restaurant, I was one of the first that reviewed your restaurant with 5 stars. I'm sorry, that's not acceptable at all. It's a brand new Korean restaurant in our area and we really liked it. Plenty of parking spaces. The atmosphere is nice, the waitress was very friendly, the food was so delicious! My family loves Korean food, we've been in a few other restaurants. We'll visit again for sure! Thank you, we wish you 🤞luck! 😊

I like the kimchi more sour and spicy, but you could tell it was fresh and flavourful. The kimchi pancake was crispy and the chicken bulgogi had a pleasant aroma of sesame.

Ordered a takeout. The food was ready in 20 minutes after ordering thru phone. They packaged them carefully. A vent hole was on the box of the pancake. Heads up - do keep boxes flat since most dishes come with sauces. All dishes were good. They came with rice and 5 sides. We had heamul pageon (seafood scallion pancake), bibim naeng myon (spicy cold noodle), and spicy stir-fried squid and vaggie (ojingeo bokkeum). These are good for takeouts. I mostly avoid soups or bimbimbap for takeouts, and I don’t mind softer pancakes. I encourage people to explore different dishes in the menu. The staffs were nice. The elder guy communicate better in Korean than in english. They could be shy but they were nice people.
