Bomb food, perfect portion sizes, has in intimate at home atmosphere. Won’t become my “must try” spot but will definitely be in rotation!

First time here on a Sunday afternoon lunch with the kids. Server was attentive and brought us to our table and got our orders on spot. However, food were so so. Some food items are super salty, the chicken skewer were blend and dry. The pork cutlet also dry and tasteless. The sauce however was very salty. The environment was good, bathroom were clean and with comfortable seating.
2 adult and 2 little ones ate $100 of food. I think there would be something better for this price.

Fabulous, very tasty Bibimbap and grilled with hot cinnamon ginger tea. Warm, welcoming and such wonderful service with conversations with owners. The Cinnamon Ginger hot tea was brewed fresh with brownsugar - best I have had in a long while. The Bibimbap was outstanding and the grilled vegetables so well presented and incredibly fresh and tasty. Several visits continue to confirm my review - chicken and shaved steak bulgogi, salmon bibmbap and spicy chicken (a smidge too spicy but so tasty)

Food is delicious and feels very authentic (though I'm not an expert), portion size very reasonable for the price. I never leave hungry, but I also typically don't have any leftovers. Staff are attentive and helpful. Just a gem of a place off the main drag in Arlington.

I will first say that the wait staff were very polite and welcoming - no issues there. However, the food here is...for lack of a better term, odd and mediocre. The bulgolgi was shredded almost beyond recognition, and the flavor was ok but really lacked depth. The japchae definitely lacked flavor as well, and unfortunately I've had much better from the prepared section of H-Mart. Normally I would not care paying $5 for daily sides, but at almost every Korean restaurant I've been to, those come free with the meal. If you're craving great Korean food, I recommend making the trek to somewhere in Allston instead. Depending on what you get, this might scratch the itch, but it's certainly not the best.

The food was very good, but the portion sizes were not consistent. The spicy crispy chicken, spicy pork, and japchae noodles were all a good size but the bibimbap and soft tofu stew were smaller than expected. Don't bother with the small plates- the dumplings were 4 dumplings for $7 and the bulgogi flatbread was the size of a flour tortilla (and just as thin) for $11. The Salmon bibimbap seemed to be mostly rice in the bowl. The tofu stew was quite delicious. It did seem pricey, especially for some of the portion sizes, but just stick with the main dishes and you'll be good. The place also needs a bit of TLC as the spot we were sitting in had quite visible paint chipping on the walls and overall seemed a bit shabby. I still recommend since it's hard to find delicious Korean food and this does have it. I would recommend trying them for lunch!
We tried the cold noodle and spicy pork belly with lettuce. Very nice.

I've been coming here for years because the food is exceptional. Pound for pound the best Korean restaurant north of Boston. But at this point something needs to be said about the value. The portions are comically tiny and I'm getting the impression the ownership is just cheap AF. Like, really, they are meme-worthy. See attached photo of an accompanying dipping sauce for a potato pancake. No, that's not what the cup looks like after I finished...That's what they actually gave me, and this is clearly intentional. Even before this, I remember dining in once and me and my entire party were FREEZING because the heat wasn't on. I think they just expected the ambient heat of the kitchen and the customers to be enough. Absolutely ridiculous. Even the "entrees" come in little appetizer-size containers. $20 for a few slices of grilled pork belly? You have to be kidding me. I'm surprised they don't charge for tap water. Their cheapo antics are going to bite them soon, especially in this economy.

This Korean restaurant in Westford is a great place to enjoy simple Korean food. The bibimbap is especially good. You can park your car in a coen on the side of the road.

Always love coming here. Quality is top notch. Kimchi and flavors of their broth are the best in Boston that I’ve tried. Love their soft tofu stew with seafood.
Woori Korean Restaurant is a small neighborhood spot focused on flavor, recommended by a friend who visits regularly. He ordered 김말이 as an appetizer, which was very tasty with an excellently flavored sauce. I ordered his favorite dish, squid bibimbap. The taste of the bibimbap was outstanding, looking both healthy and delicious. The container was also unique. There were four small side dishes that seemed unique to this restaurant, and everything was tasty. I rarely find these side dishes in other Korean restaurants. He also ordered 고구마탕 for dessert, which was unique and tasted like potato chips. It was an excellent dining experience.

Parking: Lots of cheap metered street parking around the area, but sometimes you have to circle the block to get a spot.

Their soft tofu soup is a staple of mine. Their tteokbokki is ok. I find their bulgogi and japchae too salty. I enjoy the flavor of their bibimbap but I wish they served it in a stone pot so the rice could crisp.

We went here to celebrate a birthday and it was not what we were hoping for. This was the first time I have ever been to a Korean restaurant that did not give banchan (side dishes). The portions were small and the quality was underwhelming. The service was great and our server was very welcoming. The price is quite expensive for what you get but I am only speaking on behalf of the dinner/weekend hours. I have been told that the lunch special is a much better bang for your buck. I understand that it is a local restaurant so business may be difficult so I am glad I tried this place.

It's like fake Korean food. The tofu soup is not tasty. The restaurant does not offer small dishes at all. Most food is over priced. I wouldn't recommend. Bibimbap doesn't use the stone bowl. Very salty food...
