Kaju Korean Cuisine — Allston

the soup is delicious, rich, and spicy. it has a pretty small interior which adds to the charm.

I came in with my friend for dinner at around 7 pm and had an amazing time at the restaurant. Despite the busy time, we were served well and fast. I ordered beef tofu soup with bulgogi and kimchi pancakes while my friend had the kimchi jjigae. Everything tasted so good and side dishes were also a fantastic combination with the meal so we would be coming back to try other dishes. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys comfort Korean food that feels like home

I went here probably 10x a year for four years. This place was great, servers were always attentive and the food was awesome. I've tried the intestine soup, kimchi pork, kimchi beef, seafood, etc etc.

#1 go to is kimchi pork and then the intestine for me.

Place helped me survive my terrible college cooking!

I returned here for a late 2:30 pm lunch. Street parking was less terrible than usual, so I managed to find a spot right next to Kaju. The establishment was almost at capacity, but I got the last 2-top. I ordered the intestine tofu stew ($15.99).

The tofu stew itself seemed decently savory with silky tofu, an egg, and well-cleaned intestines. It also arrived piping hot.

The banchan seemed disappointing today. The radish kimchi was barely fermented and slightly bitter; it tasted like raw daikon purchased from the supermarket that morning. Cabbage kimchi seemed acceptable. Banchan sizes were quite skimpy; I ordered a refill for myself.

Great place for steaming tofu soup. The soup comes out boiling in a stone pot and the spice is amazing. I highly recommend the seafood boil when trying out this restaurant.

We went there on Aug 22 for a late lunch and the food was TERRIBLE ! The pan fried noodle with chicken in particular was so bad - the MSG was sprinkled on top of the dish without even mixed in. I ended up with MSG poisoning for 3 days !! All the proteins (beef, chicken etc) were all soaked with marinade and all tasted chewy. Why would anyone eat there ? Are there no decent restaurants left in Allston ?

Came at 5:15 on a Saturday evening for an early dinner with a party of four. We were promptly seated and our orders were taken. The wait staff was very helpful and walked us through any questions we had about the menu. We had the barbecue chicken, chicken clay pot, and the beef bulgogi bowl all of which were immensely flavorful. We'll definitely be coming back to try their other dishes. Recommend trying this place out if you're in the area!
