16 Best Korean Restaurants in Boston

“One of the best full-service restaurants in Boston!“

“I had visited post-lunch (~2pm). The prices (I think) are pretty reasonable (compared to places like other nearby Korean places (granted Coreanos advertises both Korean and Korean fusion). I ordered a small order (about 6 wings, plenty for one serving) of Spicy Soy Garlic Chicken wings and dined in. It comes with a side of pickled radish which is a nice palate cleanser especially for something like Korean Fried Chicken. It was still fresh from the fryer and plenty juice with a crispy batter and a flavorful sauce. I definitely want to come back to try some of their other dishes. I feel like it is also a good place to give some Korean dishes a try without overspending.“

“Great Food!!!!“

“Had the Jajangmyeon at Somaek and thought the overall flavor was really good. However, the menu states it includes pork and Wagyu beef, but my entire dish only had two extremely small pieces of meat in it, which was pretty disappointing. On the positive side, the staff was incredibly nice and the overall vibe of the place was great. Worth it for the atmosphere and flavor, but they definitely need to be more generous with the proteins.“

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

“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.“

“When I asked to order an extra order of cold noodles, they offered to make it at the end to make sure it was fresh to take home and that level of care is so rare! It was so nice to see this mom and pop owned restaurant and I highly recommend for great Korean food!“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“Everything you could want for breakfast &/or lunch. The fresh salad bar - build your own - is awesome, hard to find these days. The lunch bowls were excellent, with perfect rice, sides of chapchae noodles and stir fry veggies. Delicious egg sandwiches, too. We found the bulgogi/beef teriyaki a bit sweet, but overall delicious and perfectly seasoned. The bowl/plate is also nicely seasoned w/sesame & green onion garnish plus the delicious sides. Other sandwich & panini options look great, too, but we always crave the rice bowls. Also the food is always freshly made. Beware during lunch rush hour. Mid-late afternoon is best. We often take away for dinner. Like all good sauces, the flavors improve! The place has table & counter space to dine in, is bright & cute, coffee is delicious and service is excellent. You will want to return!“

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

“I've been going to Korean Garden for several years now, and their service and experience never disappoints.

There isn't much music that plays at the restaurant, but the restaurant isn't too loud. The tables are nice and there is a big walking space to move around.

The service is quick and good. They exchange the water bottles quite quickly, and the food comes out pretty fast.

The prices for the food is decently priced. The Korean BBQ does run a bit on the expensive side if you are a big eater, but the tteokbokki and appetizers are reasonably priced, even lower than other restaurants. The quality of the food is pretty good, and tastes quite well with the banchan. I would recommend the hot pot bibimbap, it isn't too hot when it arrives at the table but keeps the food warm, and it can form scorched rice at the bottom of the pot when done. The portion sizes for the korean bbq is good for a party of around 4-5.

A majority of the tables are suited for parties of 4-6, I probably wouldn't come here with a party larger than 8.“

“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!“

“Burrito was delish. Crispy fries were awesome. Will be back again to try something else.“

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

“Food: I thought this location was not as good as the Allston one. The chicken wasn't as crispy and pieces were smaller, not sure why. Went multiple times too.

Service: was fine for a casual place.

Atmosphere: order at the front and find a seat in the restaurant. It's fine/standard.

Overall: was a bit disappointed with this location. Even though (I believe) the Allston one is the flagship location, I thought the food quality would have been closer.“

“Justin and his team served at my wedding last month and their cooking and service could not have been better. Our friends and family are still talking about their bibimbap- even my Korean grandmother gave her stamp of approval on the taste and authenticity! Thank you guys again- see you soon!“
