I just finished my Bibimbap and it was exceptional. Every bite was full of bold, balanced flavors that made the whole dish come alive—it truly hit the spot. The ingredients were fresh, well-prepared, and thoughtfully combined. I’ve dined in before and always appreciated the warm, welcoming staff and their commitment to authentic Korean cuisine. This was my first time ordering online, and the quality remained just as impressive. I also really appreciate the banchan that comes with the meal—it’s such a thoughtful, delicious touch that elevates the entire experience. A solid 10/10—I’ll definitely be ordering again.

My friend and I both lived in Korea and were searching for authentic Korean in the Boston area and we were delighted to find this restaurant. We LOVED this place. Great banchan and options for those looking to find Korean food beyond KBBQ. Highly recommend!

The teok-bokki was really quite good and probably the tastiest I've had outside Korea. The sauce was spicy with just a hint of sweet.
The service and the atmosphere were also fantastic. You can tell us a family place and they care about what they're doing.
Honestly I wish I'd gotten more just to see what else they do well

Hands down, one of the best Korean BBQ spots I’ve been to! The staff was friendly and really attentive. The food was amazing, and the side dishes were delicious with a good amount.
We had Korean BBQ, pancakes, and chicken wings. The pancake was a little oily, but honestly, everything else was great. Overall, a fantastic experience. I’d definitely come back again!

There is now way to be this expensive, $33 for two pieces of thinly sliced pork belly. It’s robbery

Doesn’t worth the money. Don’t go. The food quality there is extremely terrible, the portion of meat is toooooo small.

came here bc kaju and seoul jangteo were too crowded but now i understand why this place is less busy

- ordered seafood soondubu jigae but it had no egg :( and the bowl wasn’t even totally filled. It was super thick and red and spicy and lacking more of the complex seafood taste (that kaju has). overall for 18 bucks (20 post tax) it also cost more than other places but was not worth it

- service was slow and my water never got refilled and they ignored me when I was trying to get a check

- the kimchi was weirdly sweet?

- the mashed potatoes were fire though

Solid Korean food, every time. I've had their BBQ and mul nengmyeon before, so good. This time I got their braised short rib soup and my goodness is it good. Comfy soup with glass noodles, flavorful soup, and soft beef. it so soft that even the tough part closest to the bone is soft. The side dishes are good too. Their seafood pancake is great. It's such a solid place every time I go. The owner is super nice too!

Visited with some friends on a girls night. Service was excellent, and we had no wait. The array of banchan was top notch (the kimchi reminded me of my Halmoni’s)! Pajeon and mandu were good, but the galbi stole the show. We also loved the japchae; the noodles were so perfectly done! This felt like the kind of place I went to growing up, love the ambiance!

Overpriced and Disappointing Kalbi

My boyfriend and I visited Korean Garden on a Wednesday evening and were disappointed with the $37.99 Kalbi beef (kitchen-cooked) The portion was extremely small, with thin, chewy pieces that tasted nothing like short ribs and were intentionally stacked to look more while leaving huge spaces on the plate to make it even emptier. When we asked about the portion, the server said it was their standard size due to the cost of short rib, but we’ve had better quality and larger portions in other Boston Korean restaurants for less.
While the rest of the food tasted good and reasonably portioned and the service was fine, the Kalbi beef was a total letdown.
