Our ladies only lunch club loved TTOWA! A group of 12, some were unfamiliar with Korean cooking, so our server recommended a variety of dishes to share. Each was served hot and better than the last, and no one was left hungry. The soundtrack playing was eclectic and had us multigenerationally entertained. Parking was close but had to look for a spot. BYOB and we were given wine glasses. Great authentic Korean food in Arlington Heights!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Ttowa is absolutely incredible. I've been going here for years and every time it's so good. I love the bao buns and the rice cake appetizers. I could eat that rice cake forever. It takes like a perfectly crisp pasta. The dakkalbi chicken is grilled perfectly and is a little spicy. The portions are large. Can't recommend this place enough. 5/5

Just had the best experience here. I had the bulgogi, and yes, it is phenomenal. The better part was the owner talked with us about all of our experiences while in S Korea. I know some may not like that but he made it feel like he was really interested in hearing our stories. I will be back. As for the quality and taste of the food, I can’t say enough how well it tasted. I strongly recommend!
