Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Ttowa in Arlington Heights delights with its "amazing food" and "welcoming service." Known for delicious Korean dishes like bibimbop and fried rice cakes, it's a "gem" offering a BYOB experience. While the interior could use some sprucing, the generous portions and friendly atmosphere make it a favorite.

    Had delicious chicken buns and bimimbop. It’s BYOB so very affordable. The A/C wasn’t working very well but it was a super-hot day. They have outside seating so that’s a plus. Good service and recommendations!

    Was surprised at the limited drink menu - not only did they have no liquor license, they didn't even have lemonade which was disappointing - but the entries were delicious. This is more of a casual place than we expected based on photos, but in a nice, walkable area.

    Food was exceptional as always. But service was pathetic, with young kids who did not know anything about service or care about how customers feel. The reason we go out to a restaurant, is for a great a overall experience. Also what is with horrible lighting in the restaurant. it felt we were in a dungeon. Again we love the food .

    Ttowa is a gem to Arlington heights. The food is always great- the complimentary appetizers are amazing. My favorite kimchi - everything is homemade.

    One of our absolute favorite restaurants. We have been going to Ttowa since its opening. The owner is so kind and friendly. The food is impeccable and the portions are generous. The only thing we’ve noticed is that Ttowa needs some sprucing up. The interior needs some pictures on the wall and the take out containers should not be so present. The back bar area needs some tweaking as well. Sometimes the aesthetics are just as important and we say this with upmost respect. Additionally, we wish the menu included drinks or desserts. We didn’t know if they were not serving alcohol. One final thing, way back Ttowa used to greet you with the most amazing hot tea. It was delicious and a great touch as a customer. We know Covid has impacted restaurants so all of this is being said in the spirit of kindness. We LOVE the food and will continue to order for take out and also eating at the restaurant.
