18 Best Korean Restaurants in Boston

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

“Real good spot! I went here with my cousin and her friend right before seeing a show at Brighton Music Hall and it was well worth it. Their bulgogi bibimbap, kimchi fried rice, and loaded fries were soo good. I would come back here again to try more items on their menu.“

“Great Food!!!!“

“This restaurant exceeded my expectations, standing out among the numerous Korean restaurants I have visited. Food was very fresh and quality of the food were exceptional, making it a great experience. Additionally, David provided exemplary service, he is among the finest servers I have encountered. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, which allowed me to savor my meal without feeling rushed. I will return in the future and highly recommend.“

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

“The food was great and the quality of meat was good. They also had several banchan available that was self-serve. Service was great - the food came out very quickly and they constantly changed the grill without us asking.

We were put in a private room (with one other table) which was nice since it was quieter. They also had an odor eliminator spray, hair ties, and other items at the front of the restaurant, which is considerate of them. Unfortunately, I didn't take a lot of pictures, but I'd come back again!“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“My first time trying Korean food, and it definitely did not disappoint!

We ordered the Hot Stone Chicken Bibimbap, which was delicious. The flavors were great, and I especially loved the crispy rice at the bottom—it added the perfect texture to every bite.

The real star of the meal, though, was the Budae Jjigae. It was also my first time trying pork, and now I completely understand the hype. The broth was rich and comforting, with the perfect balance of spice, noodles, and meat. Every bite was packed with flavor, and honestly, it has set the bar so high that I don’t know how I can go back to regular noodle dishes.

Overall, this was an amazing introduction to Korean cuisine. If you’re new to Korean food, I highly recommend giving the Budae Jjigae a try—it was easily the highlight of the meal!“

“My wife and I went on a wedding trip in wine country California last year and had an amazing BLT sandwich with super fresh local ingredients at a little cafe. After returning home to the Boston area , I started a search for a lunch shop near my office on Portland Street that could replicate that BLT experience for me. Ultimately the Bonne Chance Cafe was it! The folks that own and run this place are quiet, seemingly shy, but sweet and lovely people very dedicated to their craft. I try at least once a week to go back there and get my BLT on toasted wheat bread with sliced grilled chicken added, and I've been doing this long enough now that they know exactly why I'm there. Their food is delectable and tasty! They run a tight ship, high on cleanliness and the freshest ingredients. Definitely a must find!“

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

“The service a perfect 5 stars. They are busy, but any server, multiple servers attend to you. The staff courteous, polite and well mannered.

The food all good. Pork cheek on the menu a plus. More importantly, refilling banchan is not limiting like other kbbq places that can make you feel uncomfortable. The only little thing I would comment on is the salt pepper sesame dipping sauce can use a bit more kick and a little less oil.

The atmosphere is comfortable, lively and no frills.

A favorite to return to.“

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

“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.“

“25 years I have been charged mine here. In all that time, never any less than fabulous!“

“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!“
