“Great Food!!!!“

“Oh my god, this place is so good. It totally hit the mark when I was craving Korean BBQ. For $40 per person, you can eat as much Korean BBQ as you want. Not only pork, but chicken and beef too, and all the side dishes are excellent. I couldn’t believe how good the kimchi stew and egg soufflé were.

I am pretty sure the place is run by Chinese owners, so you cannot really expect ssamjang, but for this price point it is about as good as an all you can eat Korean BBQ place can get. Even though it is AYCE, the food quality is still very solid and I honestly do not know how they make a profit with how generous the portions are.

Loved it and I am honestly considering signing up for the membership. Will definitely come back again. But beware there will be a long line. We waited about 40 minutes starting around 8 p.m. on a Friday.“

“Was quick and yummy. Maybe a little salt would be good too“

“The quality of the cooking is stunning. Their mackerel was very soft and tender and one of the best I’ve ever had (and came de-boned!), and the mushroom clam stew tasted very very fresh. The wait staff was also great. However, in terms of authenticity, it was just ok. The haemul pajeon was slightly undercooked and the batter was more similar to Chinese scallion pancakes, and the black bean noodle sauce didn’t have enough sweet/savory flavor. Overall though, I definitely understand why they got on the Michelin recommended list.“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“Incredible experience! Wait staff were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was cooked to perfection for us over a charcoal grill. Very tasty sides dishes. Next time in Boston we will definitely be back. One of our waiters, Jinoh, was in training and gave great service! Hello from Nova Scotia Jinoh!“

“If you're looking for truly authentic Korean food, this restaurant is perfect. All the side dishes were flavorful and tasted just like real Korean home-style cooking. The crispy chicken was excellent, and the seafood soondubu was rich and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“Some of the best Korean food I’ve ever had!! A must visit after a show at Brighton Music Hall“

“Great place for dine-in and take-out! and awesome staff!!!“

“Great place to catch up with friends and families. Great food and nice atmosphere..“

“So warm and comforting. Korea Garden is a no frills, authentic Korean restaurant serving up so many high-quality classics at an affordable price.

Food:
- Samgae Tang ($23.99)
Unbeatable value. Huge chicken stuffed with sticky rice. I’d consider myself a samgyetang connoisseur and this one is definitely up there.
- Kalbi Chim ($26.99)
Perfectly tender, fall-off off the bone short ribs in a sweet soy-based broth with carrots, radish, and a half-egg. With rice, this dish is so addicting.

Service:
- Attentive and welcoming. I never had to ask for refills of water, nor did I ever struggle getting a server’s attention. These people know what they’re doing.

Authentic Korean place that I’ll definitely be returning to.“

“This self-served salad bar is perfect! Everything keeps clean and staff wearing gloves. Though they have different choices of Korean food, I was attracted by this fresh variety of salad and it’s so flavorful and tasty. Great for vegetarian and veggie lovers, can’t ask more for this summer ! Highly recommended the place.“

“great spot for fried chicken! Ordering is super convenient, and the food is extremely fresh. There’s a variety of sauces to choose from. The service is friendly and efficient, even though it takes a bit of time (which is expected). Overall, I highly recommend coming here for some quality chicken!“
