Being a diverse<\/a> city, there are plenty of eats based on Asian culture to choose from, but Ahjoomah\u2019s Apron<\/a> is a great dive into Korean-style dining.<\/p>\n

A small building cooped up in Chicago\u2019s Chinatown, Ahjoomah\u2019s is a recent mainstay that delivers some of the highest quality Korean dishes out there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Big options, big dishes<\/h3>\n

\"ahjoomah's<\/p>\n

From soups to entrees, every plate was enough to feed at least two.\u00a0After ordering a simple Korean ramen soup, the dish\u00a0appeared to be served in a cauldron with several vegetables and a hard-boiled egg in the center.\u00a0Even some of the appetizers were made for parties of five, such as the Korean Seafood Pancake, which took the form of a small pizza with about 12 slices.<\/p>\n

Some lunch specials and dinner items even come with side dishes that are complimentary to the meal, such as\u00a0tofu, kimchi, mushrooms, etc.\u00a0The presentation of each and every meal is totally photo-worthy, and provides a visual experience of Korean culture.<\/p>\n

On a side note, be wary that many of the broths, meats and sauces used in Korean cooking \u2014 and at this restaurant in particular \u2014 are quite spicy, so savor the flavor and heat.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fast, quality service<\/h3>\n

One aspect of our dining experience that deserved recognition is how polite and quick the service is. For our\u00a0party of seven, everyone\u2019s appetizers, dishes and drinks all arrived in about ten minutes.\u00a0Our server was also extremely efficient and understood every person\u2019s order, promptly reviewing our orders\u00a0before leaving.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A king’s meal for a commoner’s price<\/h3>\n

\"ahjoomah's<\/p>\n

Despite an\u00a0abundance of seafood, veggies, meat and other items, the prices are quite justified.\u00a0Standalone meals will run mostly at $11 or slightly higher, without including additional side dishes.\u00a0However, much of their selection comes with daily deals that vary.\u00a0The ramen soup\u00a0we ordered\u00a0ran for $7, so there definitely are a few cheap options to go for that will give plenty of bang for your buck.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a quick and simple night out, look no further than Ahjoomah\u2019s.\u00a0As a whole, Ahjoomah\u2019s<\/a> is small piece of Chinatown that will leave anyone full and happy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
