We happened to be in the student ghetto area on South U around dinner time, feeling particularly hungry, when we noticed Kang's Coffee Break (1327 South University), which advertises authentic Korean cuisine. There were a few Koreans eating there when we arrived, which is always a good omen.
Kang's is a small place, with a counter dividing the kitchen from the main room, which itself has a few tables arranged in rows and a few seats along the window. But they have a decent sized menu, with 22 entrees, 11 soups and stews, and 9 appetizers. We ordered a plate of potstickers to start, a Bul Go Ki, and a Chap Chae Bop. That's Chap Chae with rice- they also offer a version with rice cakes.
The entrees arrived first, along with two cups cup of delicious soup (beef broth with miso, I think), two kimchee and two sukju namool. Everything was very tasty, and very authentically Korean, at least in our experience. The Chap Chae was especially delicious.
By the time the potstickers arrived we were close to full, so they came home with us. Prices are very reasonable- most entrees are between $7 and $8, and make a filling lunch or dinner. I expect we'll be back many more times to explore the rest of the menu.
