“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.“

“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.“

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

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“My daughter was craving Tteok-bokki and we found this restaurant nearby. It was so yummy and filling for us 2 to share. The owner was kind enough to give us a watermelon bingsu. It was so delicious & refreshing. Definitely will be back again 😊“

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

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

“This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Boston. Oh how I crave the kalbi gui all the time. This place isn't fancy, they keep the focus on the food and don't disappoint! I was skeptical about leaving a review for a while because I wanted to gate-keep this restaurant, but they deserve all the praise!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“I ordered the spicy rose Ddeok-bokki and mango lemonade and pickled radish, which all were so good!

Ngl this is the best Ddeok-bokki I’ve ever had. It tastes like how I would cook it at home, creamy, rich, flavorful and cheesy. The portion was big which surprised me and half of it filled me. The rice cakes were big and chewy. It also had boiled egg, cabbage, and fish cakes. I normally don’t like the fish cakes in Ddeok-bokki but this was good!

10/10 ⭐️

I would try their fries next time :)“

“Very good food and attentive service and convenient to Symphony Hall.“

“The bone-in-wings are off the hook!“
