35 Best Korean Restaurants near Allston

“One of the best full-service restaurants in Boston!“

“For spicy lovers, Gamjatang and Shrimp Papaya Salad are recommended! Must try!!!“

“This is my go-to place whenever I am craving cold noodles. They only start serving this closer to summer, and it is great to battle the heat. It was hot over the weekend, and the refreshing cold soup definitely helped cool me down. I ordered the combo, so I got kalbi side with it. The kalbi is so flavorful, and the onion it comes with is so sweet. I also like to order the jokbal with bai top salad. There is so much flavor but also pretty spicy for me, but the cold noodles help cool down the spice, so it is a perfect combo. Did take out, but the place looked clean and was pretty full on a Sunday afternoon. The staff was nice and took my order promptly and waited about 20 mins for it to be ready.“

“Me and my friend ordered the Dak-Galbi and tuna gimbap. If you order the "hotpot serving for two," it is actually quite a lot. I think it's good for 3 people too, especially if you order other dishes like gimbap.I absolutely love their kimchi pork rib hotpot and I mostly order it whenever I come. The budae jjigae is also pretty good.I've been to this place a lot because they have been making consistently good food. I enjoy the space and the music they have. I highly recommend this place, especially for a nice hangout! The price is also affordable and worth it. Please try this place out!!“

“A gem of a Korean restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, generous portions with fresh ingredients. The food is ready in a very short time. Also great for take out when you don't want to cook. Perillas has become my husband's go to and favorite meal. We are very grateful for such high quality food in our neighborhood.“

“The fried chicken here isn’t bad. I got the Yang yum chicken which was a little soggy cus of the sauce. Speaking of the sauce…it was very sweet and didn’t have much spice to it. It tastes kinda like general tso sauce? I wouldn’t recommend that flavor. The spicy garlic, on the other hand, was super crispy and fragrant with garlic seasoning. Even though it wasn’t that spicy either, I really enjoyed it!For the small portion, you get 6 wings. For the large, you get 12. Note that these wings are HUGE, I mean one drumstick is like double the size of a drumstick in other places. They are just massive. One small is definitely more than one person could eat, which isn’t a bad thing. You do get your money’s worth!Though I must admit that bb.q chicken around the corner is still the best Korean fried chicken. Coreanos was a bit more greasy and more thickly battered, and the flavors are better at bb.q.“

“Great Food!!!!“

“Was quick and yummy. Maybe a little salt would be good too“

“Burrito was delish. Crispy fries were awesome. Will be back again to try something else.“

“Food was incredibly delicious! I got to try the sweet potato corn dog and chicken teriyaki egg toast. My boyfriend had the half mozzarella dog and bacon egg toast. For an additional $0.99 you can get garlic bread for your egg toast. Nothing crazy but enhanced the flavors of the egg toast for sure. The mango peach slush was yummy and helped wash everything down. Ohkdog is located in a busy Hmart, so it can be a bit hectic. They have limited seating in the middle of the food court if you wish to dine-in. Overall, staff was friendly and food was filling. I am gluten-sensitive and would love to see more allergen-friendly options, but I understand they are corn dogs, which are classically made with wheat flour.“

“Great food!! I got the Number 4. We arrived less than 30 minutes before closing on a Saturday night and we still were able to order the food that we wanted with no issues. Special thanks to the young people running the shift, you guys did great!“

“Incredible experience! Wait staff were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was cooked to perfection for us over a charcoal grill. Very tasty sides dishes. Next time in Boston we will definitely be back. One of our waiters, Jinoh, was in training and gave great service! Hello from Nova Scotia Jinoh!“

“my fav donut spot in the area, decent location too with the different food places next to it and the market behind! i usually park in the lot and walk down a few mins to kimchipapi and get donuts before i leave! the donuts are the perfect amount of chewy and the icing adds a fun flavor :3 i love how they change most of the flavors every week! def recommend“

“This is the first place where they served half/half option for jjajangmyun and jjambbong like they usually do back home in Korea. I appreciated the option for that because I love both and I would always have to choose! The ttangsuyuk was also pretty good and they gave a good amount too (we already ate a few before taking the pic). The employee was also SUPER friendly even though it was at night and the food came out fast as well. There is a lot of space in the place to sit and is clean as well. I would come back again if I'm in the area!“

“Honestly pretty darn good. Korean food in the Boston area is always disappointing. But I'm surprised with this place. The bulgogi plate was actually legit. Very good flavor. Homestyle and good. Chicken flavors were good and super moist. Super crunchy. Would recommend if you need a Korean chicken day“

“Only just realized I've been coming here for 10+ years but have yet to leave a review. Small, family owned business with love & effort put into everything coming out of the kitchen. Great spot for breakfast & lunch during the week. Highly recommend a breakfast sandwich in the AM or a spicy pork plate for the afternoon! Love supporting Bonne Chance Cafe, thanks ya'll.“

“Awesome drinks, appetizers, entrees, and service“

“Justin and his team served at my wedding last month and their cooking and service could not have been better. Our friends and family are still talking about their bibimbap- even my Korean grandmother gave her stamp of approval on the taste and authenticity! Thank you guys again- see you soon!“

“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“

“Somerville 's Best sushi & sashimi!!!!!Our family was never disappointed and we come here a lot!!!!!!Super recommend !!!!!!“

“Amazing food, very friendly service“

“Each experience we've had here has been wonderful. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the quality of the ingredients is high. The staff are friendly, and we especially love that the owner always remembers us and offers us extra kimchi because she knows how much we love it. Wide ranging menu that offers great options for all, including our kids.“

“Enjoyed the 갈비 비빔밥 (Galbi Bibimbap) which is essentially marinated beef short rib in a mixture of white rice and fresh vegetables and a fried egg. It was delicious and an enjoyable experience watching the food cook in the hot bowl right in front of me. The rice at the bottom crisped up and gave the dish that extra crunch I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise and I'd come again.“

“Was quick and yummy. Maybe a little salt would be good too“

“I recently visited this SGD Dubu near Braintree, MA, during my trip to Boston, MA, and it was a delightful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch. We tried the Tteok-bokki, which was incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The noodles from the soup with beef were a hit at our table, and the seafood scallion pancake was a must-try. What sets this place apart is its limited menu, which ensures that each dish is of excellent quality. They also offer lunch specials, which are worth it. Additionally, the food was served promptly, which was great since we were a group of 9. The best part was that they were happy to accommodate splitting the payments. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend."“

“Overall, great experience! The team is lovely and I loved having the buffet option - the buffet was clean, extensive and there were chefs on hand to cut fresh meats for you right off the stick. Great price for the amount of food! Will come back for sure.“

“Went there with an old school friend who works in the same company. We shared "Bokum Jambong". It far exceeded my expectations for a food court. Furthermore, my friend kept on pointing out the ample seafood ingredients used (Large & Small Shrimp, Muscle, Squid, ...). Definitely will go back to try other dishes based on this experience. Service outstanding also.“

“The food is excellent, everything is made in house as far as I can tell. The ban chan is always unique and creative. Obviously their Bibimbap is to die for, but their Korean Grill items keep me coming back. The pork belly is divine!! The owners/chefs are probably the sweetest people I have ever met and treat us like family. What a treat to eat!!“

“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“

“Look no further for the best fried chicken in town! This restaurant nails it with perfectly crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat. The seasoning is spot-on, and the variety of side dishes complement the chicken perfectly. A dining experience that's simply fantastic!“

“Really enjoyed this restaurant!“

“Staff was extremely nice and helpful and the food was excellent“

“Absolutely solid korean. The banchan was on point - very very good kimchi, namul and radish. The steamed mandus are delicious. The ganjang KFC was too sweet for my liking but cooked perfectly. The spicy pork bulgogi was amazing and the portion was huge. My dining companion had stone pot bibim bap. It was served nice and hot so it crisped up the rice as he stirred it which is his ideal. He said a lot of places dont heat the stone pot hot enough. Theres a good amount of seating... its not the most comfortable but its still fine. The service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.“

“Great place to catch up with friends and families. Great food and nice atmosphere..“

“Justin and his team served at my wedding last month and their cooking and service could not have been better. Our friends and family are still talking about their bibimbap- even my Korean grandmother gave her stamp of approval on the taste and authenticity! Thank you guys again- see you soon!“
