Though I'm a long time fan of Joong Boo on Kimball's snack shop I am flat out scared to face the parking lot. That said I really like Joong Boo in Glenview but still have not visited their second floor snack shop. Makes no sense, right?
I also go to H Mart Niles, lately a little more often than usual, but am so-so on the food court, typically just a quick ddeokbokki if that or, more likely, some panchan and a kimbap to go. Your point Gary, you mumble . . .
There is a newish H Mart Niles stand offering Chinese/Korean and, while not earth shattering, my first visit suggests a full tier up from the other stands on offer. Its name is nowhere to be found though I gather from @chicagofoodstories terrific Instagram feed, who I met randomly at
Lost Larson a few months ago, that its KyoDong Noodle.
Focus is on Jajangmyeon and Jiamppong with combos and variations on said with one fried rice, dumpling and Tangsuyuk (Korean/Chinese sweet & Sour Pork). There's an array of sauces and panchan such as one gets at
Great Sea or
Great Beijing.
