Kaju Korean Cuisine — Allston

From owner to waiter all very nice and helpful people. I got some parking issues after lunch on day, and Joseph helped me from beginning to end, truly appreciate everything he did. I would highly recommend this place!

Great service and delicious soups! There's no reservations or waiting room - you just put your name on a notebook and stand outside. I came as a party of three on a Friday night and they told us the wait would be 30 minutes but it turned out to be only 10 for us since the party ahead on the waitlist didn't answer. The pots came out steaming hot and the tofu was the perfect texture. I think one serving of the tofu soup with rice was a pretty satisfying dinner for a good price point. Would absolutely visit again!

Solid combo choices. Kaju Galbi was okay. Got the chicken tofu soup with an egg and it was the perfect amount of spice for me; spicy enough that I feel it as I continuously eat it, not spicy enough that I'm looking for milk. Chicken and tofu were good. Egg is egg. If you'd like some mildly spicy soup, would recommend.

Everything tasted so good! I really liked the tofu soup, and the pancake was excellent! However, I wonder what makes this restaurant particularly crowded—there are many other authentic Korean restaurants in Allston or the Greater Boston area. That said, it wasn’t too loud because everyone seemed focused on eating! If you’re comfortable in such an environment, it’s definitely a great choice!

This is our go to Korean restaurant for date lunches, out of town guests and family meals. Food is authentic, service by Jose especially is top notch. Just really helpful and generous with portions! Plus we never have to wait long even when the restaurant is full. Not to mention that the owner continued his parents legacy in the restaurant business in CA. I love how they give back to the community as well. We always take home a bucket of kimchee which is the best we have found so far. Must try!

I’ve been coming here for many years, and it used to be my top choice for tofu soup. We visited tonight and the soup was really disappointing me for the first time. The soup base tastes like plain water with the chili powder. TOTALLY PLAIN WATER with CHILI POWDER! The soup base used to be very rich, tasty, flavorful and fragrant. I don’t know if the chef or the restaurant owner has been changed but the soups were not like this before.

However we still enjoy the spicy chicken, seafood pancake and the eels!
Also great service, and the staff is very friendly. I’ll definitely be back!
I will still to come once a while but will be very hesitated if I will order the soups again.

Hope the owner can view this comment and change the soup base back since this restaurant is so famous for the tofu soups. Please don’t let the inflation reduce your authentic soup recipes🥹
