Korean places in Chicago: inspection grades

The web version of Chicago Restaurants: Ranked lists 42 Chicago places under Korean (not counting airports, stadiums, cafeterias and other non-restaurants). 42 have our grade: 16 A, 17 B, 4 C, 3 D, 2 F.

Our 0–100 score and A–F grade, calculated from City of Chicago inspection records since January 2023. Not official City grades: the City reports Pass, Pass w/ Conditions or Fail. An inspection describes conditions on the day of the visit.

City records through . About once a week we rebuild the data from the City’s newest public records, and these pages with it. Source: City of Chicago Food Inspections on the Chicago Data Portal. Cuisine groups are the app’s own: each place is filed under one, from its name, its City records and Overture Maps listings. Each place’s page in the web version links to its own City inspection records.
