Since 2001

Consistently Korean //

Chef Bruce Kim has tasted and handcrafted every sauce, soup, and marinade to ensure it would meet his mother’s taste test for freshness, balance of flavors, and authentic Korean style. Our modern, elegant, and cozy environment offers traditional American seating as well as Korean-style floor tables. We make Korean food the way it’s supposed to be served.

Delicately Crafted

Our authentic recipes, flavors, spices, and menu items are not “Americanized.” We stick to our roots and culture and create Korean food the way our family loves it: authentic, delicious, and fresh.

Modern Environment

In 2020, we opened the newest addition to Riverside Korean Restaurant. We purchased both sides of our building and expanded with an all-new bar and tiger-themed design. Our modern environment is warm and welcoming for all groups.

Built With Passion

After living in the Korean restaurant hub of Chicago, Chef Bruce Kim worked his way from the bottom to head chef of Riverside Korean Restaurant. Together with his wife, Yujin, the pair now fully own and operate the restaurant.
