The name “Ssyal” translates to “seed” in Korean. As the name implies, we wanted to be sprout as a real Korean taste in the Chicago area. Since our humble beginnings as a ginseng farm, we have proudly …
The 삼계탕 (ginseng chicken soup) is always delicious here. The chicken is so tender and falls off the bone. I'm sick right now and this was the perfect lunch. For people who might be less familiar with Korean food, this soup is meant to be seasoned to taste, so it's perfectly normal to add salt if you want to.

Absolutely delectable and flavorful. It was just as my grandmother used to make back in the day. They use the freshest ingredients and it is perfect to share between two people. I would definitely order this again whenever I have a craving for braised chicken. One of the best I've ever tasted! A++

Portion is quite small for the price- also, only a tiny bit of moo kimchi, and not enough banchan. JjiDak is tasy

An amazing and consistent place for Korean food! I've been ordering from Ssyal for a while, they got me through the pandemic lockdown! I can't recommend them enough! Beef Bulgogi and Tteokbokki 🌶 are always a must here!! Please keep up the good work Ssyal team!!!🌶️

The Ch-Oreum Smagye Tang was pretty bland. Only two strips of meat on the bibimbop. Tasty seafood pancake. Way too expensive for what I got.
