New Village Gastro Pub - Northbrook

So this place is an amazing Pocha experience! Great social drinking vibe with amazing food. Note that the wait can be 40mins+ and it can get very packed. Now although you might wait a bit, which should give you enough time to have an order in mine, the food comes out super fast once placed. Probably took only 10mins for the food to start coming out.Highly highly recommend the Tofu Kimchi (which comes with pork belly), Spicy BBQ pork belly w/mozzarella, and the Rose Tteok bok ki.Definitely what we were looking for and they also have karaoke which we might come back to try.

Nice place to hang out with friends. Remind you of restaurant that you watched in Kdrama ?. Good food and drinks. Our fave are the bossam and squid salad with noodle. Come early or really late cause this place is busy during dining hour and parking can be difficult. Recommended! ?

OMG this place is my absolute favorite. My husband and I are regulars and we cannot get enough of this super cool place. I feel like I am in a trendy pub in Korea. We love getting the market chicken and having our waitress break it into pieces in front of us. I also love the kimchi fried rice with the egg on top. Excellent service.

Food and service here is far better than most any restaurant u can think of. I love the great unique presentation of the dishes and so far everything is delicious that I've tried. Please try the Kimchi rice that they put spam in. It's amazing.

I was totally surprised that the food was pretty good, it's kind of a fusion Korean type of food, not your typical Korean dishes! We had the Sea Snail and Squid Muchim:Blanched sea snail dish, combined with cabbage, watercress, dropwort, scallions, Perilla leaves, and onions. All these fresh ingredients are harmoniously mixed with a sweet and spicy sauce, Served alongside squid and chewy noodles. This was my favorite dish, it was a little spicy but not too bad!Then we also had the Traditional Tteok Bok KiA classic Korean street food favorite: chewy rice cakes and fish cakes simmered in a spicy and sweet sauce, served with boiled egg, seaweed wraps, and dumplings. This was a little spicy for the kids, so we decided to order a different one that's not spicy at all:Rosé Tteok Bok kiChewy rice cakes, fishcakes, sausage, bacon, shrimp, and flat noodles, all simmered in a rich and creamy tomato sauce. Served with garlic bread. (The garlic bread was soft and chewy), great for dipping in the yummy sauce.All the dishes had lots of flavor and very tasty! You need to get there by 5 pm if you don't want to wait, otherwise expect a long wait! When we left around 8 pm on a Saturday night, there were people waiting outside!
