This 25 year old hole in the wall really reminded us the street restaurants in Korea. The cafeteria chairs, square block tables when you have nowhere to put your feet, dark and K-Pop videos playing on TV. It doesn't get anymore authentic then this, and so are the food items. There are no BBQ here, you can get the BBQ kababs cooked for you over the grill though. They are just ok for me. The highlight is the rice cake (the big ones, made from rice, not powder), pork skin, the sweet and spicy chicken and the intestines that we had, the perfect balance of flavor for us, not overly spiced. Another thing is, you don't see the typical coat of oil and grease at the bottom of the plate, including the ones with cheese. We will surely return to check on the hot pots and others. It is definitely not a place for a date, but for a quick Korean street food fix, this is it.

We were thoroughly impressed by the food at Dancen. Every dish we tried, including the fire chicken with cheese, the spicy pork skin, kimchi pancake, sweet marinated pork rib, and spicy squid, was outstanding! The restaurant's atmosphere has an intimate ambiance and it's a great spot to enjoy some traditional Korean dishes with friends. We're definitely looking forward to returning again soon.

Wow, mighty impressed with the cooking, ambience and characters! The fire chicken was amazing! Spicy rice cake with fish cake, Korean beef shish kabob and Kim chi soup with pork belly. Yum yum! It's a little dark, lots of k-pop videos and many drink choices. Yum yum.

The ultimate staple Korean restaurant of Chicago. The army stew is absolutely wonderful. Pricy ($28) but it was very large and flavored to perfection with the saltiness, acidity, and spiciness perfectly balanced. The spicy pork skin was fire. Unfortunately we couldn't get the fire chicken with cheese since we came in right as the grill closed at 10:30pm, but we got the normal spicy chicken with cheese which was great too. Great ambience and drinks. Would highly recommend for a night out!!!

Can’t remember how many times, my friends and I have come to this place. Every time I’m here, I forget to take a picture to review them. Their food is so delicious and the soju cocktails are to die for. Got the photos/videos. 😂

One of the best Korean places I’ve ever been. They have also featured in the Chicago’s Best Fried Chicken in YouTube Channel. I would recommend their Fire Grilled Chicken with Cheese. You can also get Beers and Sake here. Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken with cheese is also their signature dish and a popular one. It’s First Come First Serve. No Reservation and it open in evening.

At first, when I walked in I wasn’t sure, it’s very small and you felt closed in. But when the food arrived and I forgot all about the small space! The fire chicken was amazing, the kimchi pancakes but my favorite was the pork jiggae!! We also made rice balls which was a fun diy moment!
