    Small Korean Bbq restaurant with a majority of pork choices, accents in delicious savory red meats. My personal favorite was kalbi. Extremely juicy and flavorous short rib, marinated to perfection. Very friendly server assisted us with the menu and took a great care of us. P.S Thank you for the unforgettable experience. We will see you soon!

    Bring my whole family over there to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Food is really good quality. Especially the pork. And the service is super, all the staff are very friendly. Especially a senior lady who is very nice and considerate. The restaurant looks very new and clean, well decorated.

    This is hands down my favorite restaurant in the Chicagoland area. The pork jowls are to die for. The side dishes are very palatable. They are neither too spicy or to sour. Whether its their soup or side dishes, they are all seasoned In a very balanced way. The service is also great. Bbq trays are changed frequently, everything is nice and clean and they help you cook the meat too. The price is crazy good for the quality of food you get.

    We had an amazing experience at 336 Korean BBQ! The beef brisket and pork belly were incredibly fresh and flavorful, especially the wet-aged cuts that grilled perfectly at the table. The staff was attentive and fast, helping us BBQ and making sure we had everything we needed. The side dishes and kimchi fried rice were delicious and authentic, and the whole meal felt greasy, tasteful and satisfying. One of the best Korean BBQ spots in the area—highly recommended! ⸻

    The place was very clean and spacious. We ordered Marinated Kalbi boneless short ribs, thin sliced beef brisket, vegetable soybean paste and cold noodles. Overall foods are good. The service was very good. Price is kind of high. We are ok to visit here once. We were the first customers for the lunch. By the time we left, there were total of 5 tables including us.

    I have to say their meat quality is top notch and the food was good. Authentic and just right. I liked that they have more than one vareity of samgyupsal (pork belly) to cook on the spot on the grill at the table and that they offer beef tartare called yukhwe. Eating raw minced meat sn’t for everyone but I loved it! Nengmyon (cold noodles), bibimmyon (spicy noodle) and dwenjangjjigae (soybean soup) are add to this authentic experience. If I have a chance I’d eat there again and try new meat to grill.
