Seoul Bites – Halal in Lombard

I don't usually leave reviews unless the food is really good and wow, the food here is OVERWHELMINGLY good. I normally eat alone and just scroll on my phone, but when I'm here, I seriously enjoy every bite. I don't even touch my phone the whole meal. The Korean fried wings are crazy good. Super crispy on the outside with flavorful sauce, but the inside is what gets me. The meat inside is insanely flavorful and seasoned so well. And the kimchi stews? Fire. A little spicy, but totally doable. Will probably be coming back here forever. Definitely one of the best Korean spots I've been to.

Great taste, the food is truly on another level. The short ribs were incredible: fall-off-the-bone tender and full of flavor. The veggie noodles came with an unexpected mayo-style sauce that actually worked really well with the dish. Everything is halal, which is a big plus. The atmosphere was thoughtfully designed. the green and wood tones really complement the space and give it a modern yet cozy vibe. The only drawback was the mandatory gratuity added to the receipt. It doesn't quite make sense when you're ordering on your own and handling many of the tasks typically done by a server. I can see that being a downside for some especially since it's a bit pricey per dish. That said, it's hard to find food like this. I'll definitely be coming back and bringing family with me!

The food was great and the atmosphere was good. However, the bad part is the service. We were asked to pay upfront along with tip for the service which we didn't even receive yet. There is no need for servers to be helpful after already getting the tip. Our server took the order, placed it on tables and then gone forever. This needs to change.

Seol Bite is quickly becoming one of the best spots in the suburbs, adding a true Korean bite to the growing food scene. The food is amazing, and the staff goes the extra mile to make sure you have a great experience. The place is clean, neat, and has a cozy environment with unique decor that makes you want to come back. The ramen was perfectly balanced with soft noodles, and the marinated ribs were the clear winner of the night. Overall, the portions were just right, the flavors on point, and it's definitely worth the money--not overpriced at all.

We really enjoyed this restaurant. It was our first visit and I was excited about trying Korean cuisine. We ordered the Korean wings, and the beef and chicken Ramen. The wings were amazing. The sauce was savory and the crust, texture of the chicken and the flavor was perfect. They were the best wings that I've every tasted in the history of wings. The Ramen was spicy and robust with flavor and gave me a chance to operate the chop sticks. The atmosphere was lively and the servers were courteous enough.
