Seoul Stick

Seoul Stick is a solid spot for a quick bite in Wicker Park when none of the nearby pizza, taco, and pastry spots are spurring any inspiration. The menu has tasty Korean street food like gochujang-glazed tteokbokki skewers, cheesy corn dogs, and comforting cups of spicy ramyun with egg and fish cake. And though the snack-sized servings don’t qualify as a meal on their own, anyone who has constructed a full dinner out of Chili's appetizers can use the same strategy here. The bright space is small with only a few tables, but people don’t usually linger too long or are just getting things to go. Which means a seat should free up before you’ve even made it through three K-Pop music videos playing on their TV.
