This is one of my favorite restaurants! My friend told me about this place last year and I am so glad that she did. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and the food always tastes so fresh and delicious! If you enjoy top notch Korean food, this is your place!

By far one of my favorite places to order from! They do tteobokki like nobody else. The sauce is absolutely fantastic with just the perfect amount of spice and sweetness and the rice cakes are perfectly chewy. My go to takeout order is definitely the tteobokki combo with kimbap & fish cake soup which satiates me because the portion sizes are very generous!

I also gave the tofu stew a try and it was delicious. It's my go to dine in order when I go on a solo date. Super delicious and full of umani and protein.

Highly, highly recommend giving this place a try!

THE BEST KOREAN RESTAURANT IN THE USA ngl!!! They are all really kind and careful. The foods were great. My recommendation is budaejjigae and tteokbokki.. Whenever I miss Korean food, I come here even though It takes more than 10minutes by a car. This is a genuine Korean restaurant. I can tell this is real Korean food 😍😍 which reminds me of my grandma’s food in Korea🤭🤭

Um....food tastes ok by Boston standard? The bulgogi topokki is kind of soupy, and the seafood hot pot is basically an upgraded version of topokki with the same sweet and spicy SAUCE, so don't expect the broth to be drinkable like a jigae. None of our dishes--not even the hot pot for two--came with side dishes or rice whatsoever, which is weird for the kind of Korean food this place serves. There was barely any service and we had to wave for everything.

Oh boy. A big no for this Korean restaurant. The food was not fresh. They reused the same tired vegetables across the tiny side salads, the bibimbap, and the vegetable pancake. The rice was so watery that the hot stone pot couldn’t crisp it properly.

But the worst part was the pancake. What they served looked nothing like the photo on the menu ( see pictures). No visible vegetables, soggy instead of crispy, and drenched in old oil that clearly had not been changed in days. Shame on you.

Deeply disappointing.

I came here yesterday last night on a date and the owners were so so so nice and friendly!! My mom is a Korean chef so I have high standards for Korean food and it was very very good. We got the Seoul kimbap and seafood tteopoki and it was amazing :) Thank you for great food and talking to us :D

i was craving tteokboki and i found this place and let me tell you i am so glad i did. the seoul tteokboki was sooo delicious. the tteok was soft and fluffy like a beautiful rice pillow and the sauce was delicious and spicy. the veggie kimbap was pretty good but a little carrot heavy in my opinion. if you want bomb tteokboki you must and i repeat you must go here!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I wanted to like Seoul Topokki so much more than I did. We ordered the tuna gimbap, cheese tteokbokki and spicy pork bowl. The spicy pork bowl was the best out of the 3. The rice cakes in the cheese tteokbokki were slightly undercooked and the cheese melted really oddly over it and made the texture odd. The sauce was nice enough. The tuna gimbap just had something missing flavor wise. The interior was super cozy and cheerful and the staff were nice. I would give this spot another try if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way.
