Welcome to Mother's Apron (“eomma-ui apchima” in Korean), where the spirit of maternal cooking thrives. In many cultures, mothers pass down cherished recipes, embodying traditions and flavors that nurture familial heritage. In Korean culture, "hand taste" (“sonmat”) captures the unique touch that comes from a cook’s skill and love.

With this in mind, the partners of Mother's Apron aim to deliver an exceptional Korean culinary experience that evokes the warmth of mom's cooking.

With over 30 years in the restaurant industry, we proudly introduce ourselves as pioneers of Korean BBQ in the greater Chicagoland area, led by our esteemed founder, a local icon known as the godmother of Korean cuisine. Our journey redefines Korean dining through authentic flavors and unmatched hospitality. Join us to savor our signature dishes and discover why we are celebrated as a culinary legacy.

    Casual, but modern, clean and well designed. The servers are polite and helpful and the food and experience both excellent! We truly enjoyed unique flavors and cultural experience. Highly recommended for a family or casual date night.

    A very welcome addition to the local dining scene! Scallion pancakes with seafood were amazing, as were the Galbi and Bulgogi. Great selection of Korean rice wines. Service was great and prices were very reasonable for the quantity and quality. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

    What a wonderful new Korean restaurant. The food is almost exactly what you would get in Korea. The staff is extremely friendly. The restaurant is very clean with a great ambiance. The food was absolutely delicious and we will be going back again and again. It is a bit on the pricy side for a family of 4 but it was 100% worth it. We will go back without the kids next time. My family couldn’t wait to eat so the pictures aren’t a representation of the presentation. They were beautifully presented before we started to dig in! Delicious!

    Great place we tried during soft open. Had the fish dinner for 2 - cod and mackerel. Food was amazing, authentic banchan, generous portions, loved the pumpkin soup and tofu jigae. Trendy ambiance.

    Outstanding bibimbop, delicious bulgogi, terrific stew - the whole meal was great. Service was helpful and attentive but not overbearing. Prices were reasonable.

    The second time at Mother’s Apron and was just as wonderful and satisfying as the first time. Food is wonderful and the service is great. We are coming back again and again.

    This place is a winner! It’s as beautiful as the trendiest places in downtown Chicago, but it’s quiet enough that you can hear each other speak. The food is excellent - we shared the fish Hanjeongsik, a Korean traditional meal with an array of side dishes (I think we counted 15!), plus rice and soup. The mackerel was grilled and perfectly salted. The cod was tender and seasoned in a lovely sweet stew. The kimchi was almost subtle - a delight to eat. There’s not enough room to talk about every item, but suffice it to say we will be back!
