A completely vegan Korean restaurant
This Korean restaurant is completely vegan, and pretty healthy, too - they use very little added oil in their cooking. The menu offers a number of very spicy dishes, which they offer to tone down for you, vegan "egg rolls", kim chee, and dishes containing mushrooms and tempeh.

I really wanted to like this more than I did. As it was a while ago, I can't be specific about our order, but suffice to say we tried to sample items that gave us a good idea as to what they were about. The conclusion is that they are about decent sized portions, with modestly interesting flavors. When I start saying, "I could do better than this", it's the tell-tale sign that a restaurant is underwhelming. Convenient to O'Hare, but as another mentioned, it's not especially fast. Owner/server guy was a bit indifferent. No big deal.

Going to Amitabul is like visiting an old friend. This place was vegan back when vegan wasn't cool, baby. (just kidding, vegan's always been cool!)
There's not much to the ambiance, but the service is kind and welcoming. Don't be in a hurry and you will have a great experience. The food is wonderful! I went here all the time as a vegetarian, not a vegan, and I didn't miss the dairy at all.
