Hey, if you’re going to make a trip out of it, when you’re done with the BBQ, head a few blocks south and take in the German bars on Lincoln Ave. There used to be a cool little Karaoke place at Lincoln and Western, too.
I agree on San Soo Gab San as my fave (both the Chicago and Morton Grove locations are good). There was an awesome one in Lincoln Park that I'm pretty sure closed down that had all you can eat KBBQ _and_ all you can eat sushi.
