My friend is a fan of seolleongtang, ox bone soup, and wanted to try this place. Locally owned place, the parking lot was crowded as well as in the back of the building (by the laundromat). It was crowded inside as well, with many groups and families dining. We weren't sure if we were supposed to go up to the counter to order so we waited and a server came to take our order. My friend ordered the yangji seolleongtang and I tried the galbi marinated pork. We enjoyed the pickled radish. It did take a long time for our dishes to come out, although it was worth it. My friend raved about the soup, and claimed it made them feel better. My sizzling dish was very tasty and a very generous portion -- I ended taking leftovers home. Will come back to try the soup.

Claypot is a Korean restaurant specializing in ox bone soup, something particularly great in the winter or when you're not feeling your best. The broth is delicious and you can dump rice into it to make it a rice porridge. Worth the trip out to the suburbs. Service is very quick and courteous. You get started off with a little bit of bonchon, kimchi . People tend to come in groups and sit eating and conversing . I enjoyed the simplicity . Very popular during lunchtime .

Very clean and spread out! The restaurant's layout had a Korean food stall feel to it! The food was amazing! The black goat soup, beef rib soup, and their appetizer squid cake were all tasty! The portions were a decent amount. Their side dishes were tasty and went well with the soups! The service was a bit on the slow side. There was only one person who was doing multiple things by himself. He was serving food, seating people at their tables, getting orders, giving people their bills, refilling water, and receiving phone orders. He was doing a lot and it was quite busy, so it was a lot of flagging him down or going up to the counter to get things. Other than that, the food was amazing!

Excellent authentic Korean food! Quality- I was impressed by both the dishes I got here. The gamchatang had some nice flavorful broth and the meat was perfectly cooked. It fell off the bone and went well with the soup. The pork belly and oyster went well with the jalapeño and the garlic. I enjoyed making perfect bites every time. Quantity- you get a fair amount for the price. Atmosphere- nice homey feel. Service- fast

Cute home style Korean soup restaurant! I wanted to try their ox bone soup but my bf wanted the giant beef ribs so we ended up getting the Galbi tang. The meat was so soft and good amount of flavor. I used the scissors to cut the meat into small pieces in the soup. I wish there was more veggies in the soup. The ox bone soup had an option with Napa but not the beef rib soup. The bossam was really good! The meat wasn't too fatty. The raw oyster was fresh and tangy. I used the scissors to cut them smaller. Could use more raw garlic slices. The samjang was tasty. I wish they included lettuce for wraps. Overall the meats were great. Flavors are solid. Could use more veggies. Maybe I need to get them a la cart. Would love to come back for the ox bone soup. The banchan is radish cubes, kimchi and soy sauce jalapeños. I would have preferred cucumber or bean sprouts over Jalapeños but the radish and kimichi were good. They're generous with refills.

Small menu but truly quality food! It's semi self service, so more of a casual dining vibe. It's very homey- delicious food and we'd definitely be back!

If you're looking for a hearty, good bone broth soup in Wheeling, Chicago, this is the place! Their serving sizes are good, the king galbitang comes with 3 good sized rib pieces. Because it's a bone broth soup, usually appears a milky white, but this was pretty clear yet still rich in flavor. All of the side dishes, especially the kimchi and radish kimchi. You know a Korean soup place is good if their kimchi is good.

Solid spot for authentic Korean beef soups! Their clear broths shine - try the selleongtang (ox bone) or galbitang (beef rib). These traditional soups hit the spot and taste just like they should. However, steer clear of the Woogeoji galbitang. Its red/orange color is a giveaway - it's not authentic and has an overpowering gochujang (red pepper paste) flavor. Stick to the clear broths for the best experience at this decent Korean soup place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Have been seeing this place a lot and been wanting to go and finally I have. I did like it altho i felt like the broth was a bit bland and was missing something. I would probably try and order the spicy stuff on the menu next time. My order came with some tendons, tripe, beef shank and noodles. It was tender and i do like it i was eating it with their kimchi which had the spiciness and kick i was looking for. Service is good. Place is small and clean ans they are open late! Its actually perfect for the coming cold weather. Happy eating!!!

Claypot is soul-giving Korean comfort food at its finest. You can taste the authentic homemade goodness of the bone broth and tender meat. And the kimchi is unparalleled (they sell by itself to go!) The usage of somen vs glass noodles is a nice, heartier touch. And I appreciate that we can salt-to-taste which is great for the kiddos. The soup-making process is incredibly laborious, and it's clear no short cuts are taken. Delicious healthy option, and the food tastes clean. Pricing is appropriate for what you get. Quality is excellent, and service is consistently on point and friendly. The woman who owns this business is very kind, and we've always had great experiences here! Definitely a neighborhood staple.
