   Every dish was flavorful and delicious! We also really loved the different spin on the banchan! Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu and helped us pick our courses. Would definitely return when back in town!

   Excellent service in a cozy setting. Cocktails were thoughtful and the recommended dishes were appreciated. The mackerel, seafood pancake and different preparations of kimchi were the highlights

   Was very good. But unlike the old parachute which was always surprising it’s now just very well prepared basic Korean at a premium price. There is a lot of good Korean in Chicago - just sayin’

   We had a great experience. It was the little details that mattered. They welcomed us with an open heart and made our evening extra special. The food and cocktails(Big shout to the Seafood Pancacke and Cocktail #1) were delicious and the service was impeccable. Thank you for creating such a memorable evening.

   Great service , kind and welcoming staff. Everything was beautifully presented. I can’t say I loved the meal or sool but it may just be my personal preference. The bulgogi was delicious!

   As usual, a perfect meal at Parachute. The ambiance, mood and service are all impeccable, but the food remains the star. While each of the four dishes we tried was excellent, but Pork Bassoon was just spectacular - with layer upon layer of flavor. So good.

    Honestly, the food was mediocre. I’m not sure what has happened but the fusion aspect seems to have disappeared and it’s just ok, over priced Korean food. I’d been looking forward to trying it, was surprised to get a reservation and feel that I could have gotten better Korean food lots of places in Chicago.

    I'm so glad they reopened. Delicious, well though out menu. Our server was so knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations- the hwe, twigim, grilled mackerel, and finished with the beef brisket soup (which is a perfect dish for this unseasonable cold). Totally worth a visit!

    If been wanting to try this restaurant since 2019. The food was described then as Korean American fusion. It closed for 2 years because of the pandemic & when they reopened 3 months ago they changed their focus to a paired down & more Korean based menu. I was really disappointed that they moved away from their original award winning cuisine.

    I didn’t think this was distinguishable from any other neighborhood hipster place and, honestly, the food at more casual Korean BBQ is equivalent. Overall it was disappointing especially relative to the hype.

    Sebastian was AMAZING! Knew the drink and dinner menu as good as anyone I’ve ever had serve us. Group of 4 and we ordered one of everything. We were full, but not stuffed. Only surprise was that they added a 20% service charge automatically. We asked if this was the tip, and we were told that it was not. It was worth every penny, but just raise the prices 20% if you’re going to add a service charge.

    Second time dining at Parachute with parents visiting from Korea. Overall, very pleasant experience with good service and food. Golbengee muchim and haemul pajeon were phenomenal, you can smell the fresh greens in the muchim and the pajeon was cooked to perfection. Bossam was a little salty and Yukgaejang lacked flavour but both dishes were prepared with excellent ingredients. Rice and side dishes, comes with every order with entree, were served very last which I thought was a little weird given how Korean food is almost always paired with rice. Kimchi was fresh and other side dishes were okay.

    Visit to Chicago with 3 other out-of-towners (all Californians); I was tasked to come up with a dinner reservation at somewhere interesting. I researched a little and came up with this (there were other possibilities). It was perfect for what we wanted: interesting, a little challenging, smallish but hopping, sweet decor (speakers, vinyl, stereo), GREAT SERVICE (really worth noting). The menu and drinks list needs some explanation from the staff and they really do an excellent job of helping you through it. Moreover, all four of us (several of whom are super picky) thought the meal and experience was terrific.

    Great service did not make up for how incredibly overpriced the food is there. You can find traditional Korean food that is the same or better elsewhere in the city for less than half the cost here. Just not worth it.

    Our dinner was fantastic! Extraordinary and delicious dishes, super fun cocktails and spirits tastings, service is so friendly and willing to share their deep knowledge - dinner out doesn’t always feel fun anymore, but this was FUN! Kudos Chef Beverly, Johnny, Jose and team for bringing this dining room back. May I come back tomorrow night??

    To be clear, the food was all very good. Prepared well, balanced, and the flavors were all great. This was my first time back since the pandemic and the restaurant lost something in its revamping. Before, I would call the dishes very unique, interesting and exciting. Now I'd just refer to it as "upscale Korean". It's certainly an interesting take on Korean food, but for a meal that costs >$150 than what a comparable meal at a traditional Korean restaurant, the value was not there. It just was no longer... special. And, I've read the article, and I totally get it and respect the artistic and business decision, but the loss of the Bing Bread is heartbreaking.

    Everything here was AMAZING. I have some feelings about elevated Korean food since I’ve been disappointed so many times before, but Parachute was incredible. The food had the authenticity and flavors that reminded me of my parents’ cooking (maybe even better!!). But the plating and experience were definitely fancier than eating dinner at my parent’s - in a good way. The ambiance was nice and soju delicious. The one thing I’ll say is that it’s a pretty small restaurant so you may be seated at a large table with more than one party. I prefer to have my own table, but other than that 5/5!!

    We went there after seeing it as listed one of the best kid-friendly restaurants in Chicago which was not. Food was delicious but It was very hard to understand what we were ordering , even though menu had not many items it was very complicated. Wines were overpriced.
