Amitabul (~ah-mee-ta-bool) has several different kinds of Korean style pancakes, could be six, I dunno. The food is generally awesome. Opened by Dave Choi of Jim's Grill fame, Amitabul serves a Buddhist vegetarian menu, which while based on Korean cuisines, delightfully transcends that category.

Sometimes the service is less than stellar.

Amitabul 3418 N. Southport in Chicago  773-472-4060

(I could post my recipie for Korean style vegetable pancakes if anyone is interested, but they never turn out quite as yummy as Dave's.)
