Korean BBQ Catering Chicago
Sweet & Savory BBQ — Scratch-Made by Personal Chefs
BBQ Steak • BBQ Chicken • Korean Braised Potatoes
Korean BBQ is a hit with everyone. That perfect balance of sweet and savory — caramelized edges, rich umami flavor, the kind of food that makes people go back for seconds (and thirds). Our scratch-made Korean BBQ sauce is so good, we use it on our wings and pizzas at the restaurant too.
A trained Frato’s chef delivers everything hot, sets up your spread, and makes sure your event runs smoothly.
🔥 HOT SELLER: Our Korean BBQ Steak is the #1 choice — tender, caramelized, and absolutely addictive.

🍯 Our Scratch-Made Korean BBQ Sauce
This isn’t bottled sauce from a distributor. Our Korean BBQ sauce is made from scratch in our Schaumburg kitchen — the same sauce we use on our Korean BBQ wings and Korean BBQ pizza at Frato’s Kitchen. Sweet, savory, with just the right amount of heat. Once you taste it, you’ll understand why it’s become a signature.
Not All Korean BBQ Catering Is the Same
Korean restaurants are popping up everywhere — but most of them aren’t set up for real catering. You call to order for 30 people and get a stressed-out host, food packed in takeout containers, and a DoorDash driver who drops it at reception. That’s not catering. That’s a big takeout order gone wrong.

Your team notices the difference. When the Korean BBQ actually has that caramelized glaze — not sitting cold in a container for 45 minutes — they notice. When someone who knows the food is the one setting it up — not a delivery driver reading the order off a phone — they notice. Stop gambling on restaurant takeout and get real catering.
