    While the food and service were excellent, what was notable to our group about Jeong was the atmosphere and aesthetics: small with well-spaced tables; quiet (attention clearly was paid to controlling the noise level); a calm atmosphere and service; interior decoration and table decoration that is consistent in its color scheme and clean lines (yet warm with use of wood, browns and tans, and copper). These elements made the dining experience truly enjoyable.

    Great food, came out quick, they cook it for you, the samjang was the best i've ever tasted. I have never been to kbbq that gives you corn cheese as a side, so that was a fun surprise. I have to come back to chicago and eat here asap. Another plus: as a kpop fan, the wall of signatures was sooo exciting to see. I was not expecting that.
