Shinhwa Korean Steakhouse sits on Wentworth Avenue in Armour Square, in Chicago's Chinatown, running an all-you-can-eat format that combines Korean BBQ with hot pot under one menu. Orders are placed through iPads at the table, and robot waiters help ferry food out, giving the room a tech-forward feel.
The dual format lets tables grill at their own pace or build out hot pot bowls, and it works for both larger group gatherings and smaller visits. Regulars point to the range of options, the quality of the meat, and attentive service as reasons to return, alongside occasional operational hiccups that come with a room this busy.
