I've been to almost every Korean restaurant. Woo Lae Oak is by far the best in the Chicagoland area. The main and side dishes are prepared professionally by people who not only concern themselves with taste, but artistry. At Woo Lae Oak, the ingredients are always fresh. Wheather I've been there for lunch or dinner, week day or weekend, alone or in a large group setting, I've always been pleased. There was 1 time I found the service a little slow, but I think they were just especially busy. I want to point out the warm inviting atmosphere. One big turn off for most Korean restaurants I've been to is the lack of attention to the conditions of the bathroom. At Woo Lae Oak, I found the bathroom facilies, clean, bright, and quite large (even has a sitting area) in the womens' room. I always look for opportunities to stop by when I can. They used to be located on Hubbard St. downtown. Too bad, they left the city. Otherwise, I would be there at least 2 times a week!
Pros: clean atmosphere, tasty food
