our story

After working in several high-profile Chicago restaurants, Will Song set out on a mission in 2009: make delicious food that he liked to eat. Growing up the son of Korean immigrants, that included traditional Korean dishes with kimchi as a staple. But growing up American, burgers were a big part of his food palate. However, there was nowhere to eat that married these two food passions of his. And hence, bopNgrill was born in 2009 in Chicago.

An award-winning culinary take on quality burgers with a Korean twist brings most guests in for their first visit. After all, a feature on Diner’s Drive-Ins and Dives and a Food Network special ranking bopNgrill the #6 best burger in America drives new traffic year round. Customers find the rice plates make bopNgrill a cornerstone in dining rotations with the variety of proteins and flavors versus just a weekly burger visit.
