Food Scene
Owner Soon Hee Lee (“Susie”) is a one-woman show who takes orders, serves them and buses tables, in this small, homey, neighborhood restaurant. Somehow, she also finds time to helm the wok and flattop, turning out airy pajun (Korean pancakes) slathered with a fiery jalapeño sauce, soul-satisfying bibimbap and a spicy, sweet japchae—a sautéed mix of vegetables, beef and glass noodles perfumed with ginger and hit with a touch of pancake syrup. Call or check hours online as the hours are a bit unusual and she often closes by 5pm. I personally LOVE the Bibimbap.

Calo Ristorante
5343 N Clark StGood Italian Food, great for groups.
Fine dining with locally sourced food items. Sometimes they have live music. Nice casual but upscale place for dinner and I think they have a good brunch too. And it's about a 3-4 block walk.

Kind of a hole in the wall, and they only have a counter and 3-4 tables, if you're in the mood for some quick tacos or burritos or other traditional favorites, this is my go-to joint. Oh, and they're open LATE.

Generally a nice, American style restaurant, we mainly go their for their crazy $5 burger nights every Monday. Really a great deal, but you should check it out the rest of the week too, and they have a good brunch.
