TAK Korean Bistro & Karaoke 1132 South Wabash Avenue, Chicago, IL 60605

"Went on a double date, food was tasty, service was as expected. Their soju was good, we ordered the non fruit Soju. The fried chicken was awesome and my favorite dish"

"1. Location - a min walking distance from Roosevelt Station 2. Interior - Love the vibe the interior gives 3. Food - food is so good! My fav menus are K-Army Soup, Gobdori-tang, Hangover Stew, Clam Soup, Fried Pork Belly, Golbengi 3. Alcohol - My go to drinks are Makgulli (Korean rice wine) and Pink Cloud (Rose flavor) & they have all sorts of flavored/original sojus (Somaek Tower is crazy - great choice for a big group) 4. Karaoke - it’s a little pricy - $60 per hour during weekdays / $75 per hour during weekends but I think it’s priced reasonably since it’s rare to find karaoke in this area with great food 5. Servers are all nice and good looking lol"

"Prices are a bit high, but it is a bit of a bistro. Some of these alcohol shot markups are astronomical. You can afford yourself a bottle with the equivalent of buying 3 shots here. Service is quick sometimes. They ended up forgetting 3 of our orders so we ended up cancelling them. We had to tell 3 people to cancel them so communication can be off among the staff. They later came up to us 2x times after 30+ minutes to see if we were sure. I'm assuming they finally got it made and wanted to get it out, but we continued to decline. Seeing others around us get their full order and leaving before we got ours fulfilled left us with a sour taste. Limited seating so I recommend getting a reservation if you have a big group otherwise avoid peak times. There is also bar seating. No parking lot, so street parking. Only indoors seating since it's in the lower level so it is not pet friendly. Drinks come quickly, so when you are sat down get ready to order all your needs. Stew and soup portions are shareable sizes. I was a bit surprised to find out that they charge extra for side dishes(bonchon). Great place for a birthday as there are karaoke rooms to keep the party going afterwards. Service: initially great and welcoming, but they can use some extra hands and better communication. Food: on the pricey side but I came for the drinks Atmosphere: urban underground, hidden and hole in the wall gem."
