We had the dumplings and bibimbop bowls (one bulgogi, one tofu)that came with miso soup, kimchi and a little dish of potatoes. All fantastic! Pleasant service and food came out very quickly. Small seating area so best to go during off-peak hours. The one odd thing was, there was no public bathroom.

Best Korean flavors ever! My husband and I frequent Papa Bops often because we love the food. Everything we’ve tried has been excellent. If you want spicy they have spicy. But mild is also available and just as tasty. You can’t go wrong choosing Papa Bops!!

1st time at the Newish Papa Bop. Completely exceeded the already high expectations. Online ordering was easy. order was ready in 15 min. owners were all smiles and very friendly and welcoming. The food however was spectacular. This will be my first choice for eating out from now on. Bibimbop was so delicous tge papa bop sauce was awesome. The mandoo du.plings crispy and so good. Love the marinated vegetables on the side. Thank you for a perfect lunch.

This truly is a hidden gem a bit away from the main traffic. The Seafood Pajeon, Soft Tofu Soup, and LA Galbi were amazing – the best we’ve had in a while…and we live in Korea .
The restaurant was clean and well organized with friendly service to top things off. Overall, it was a great Korean food dining experience and would definitely recommend.

We went for a quick early dinner and quick it was. Food came very fast and very hot from the tiny kitchen. There’s not a lot of choices, but everything we took was delicious.
We took 1 starter and 2 main dishes. Portions were big, probably too much for 2 people. It is a bit pricey, but portions were big. I’d go there again with more people so we can share family style.

The foods were amazing! We loved all of them but especially the hibachi chicken and fried rice were just amazing. The service was great as well and fast. The foods come out really fast too. You can park around the corner and of course the restaurant is clean. It’s open kitchen so it gives you peace of mind that your everything is clean. You have to go through the kitchen for bathroom so just go to it somewhere else. Lovely experience!

Papa bop is the best Korean I’ve had in the Chicago area! My favorite is their budae jjigae (army soup). We’ve also tried their kimchee pancake, japchae, kimchee fried rice, and bibimbop and they’re all delicious. It’s run by a small family with super warm/cozy vibes, would highly recommend!!

Possibly the best pajun (seafood pancake) I have had in Chicago. It wasnt crispy as I wanted but they used good quality big size shrimps and seafood, and thick size.
Lot of korean restaurants these days, just to make it crispy, its very thin and almost has no seafood.
Bibimbap was pretty standard, good portion.
Army stew can be better, they just need to add baked bean and it will make their broth better. And its cheaper than most other places, so it was nice.
It is a perfect small mom and pop restaurant with good service and good food.

This cozy mom and pop shop is the closest I’ve ever been to Korea in the Midwest. Great food, good price, absolutely worth taking a bus down from campus.
