I got the japchae, and needless to say I’ll never forget this meal. It was phenomenal, dare I say life changing. Genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had.

items can be a hit or miss - thought the apps + chicken dishes were good but the traditional Korean dishes like the soondubu were bland

Very nice Korean restaurant with pretty good atmosphere. Location is perfect, and there are plenty of coffee and milk tea places within walking distance. Food is 4 out of 5 I’d say.

Overall disappointing compared to my last visit in August.The batter is light and crispy as I expected and I like the small touch of having the sauce separated out by the chef. But I think the sauce was a little too sour for me.The 짬뽕, on the other hand, was not how it tasted compared to last August. The noodles and the rest of the topping didn't have the soup flavor in them, so they felt like they weren't mixing well together. The soup itself had a nice flavor but didn't have the depth that I had last time I was here.The place seems much more crowded but that may have caused a lower food quality as a result.

I ordered Jajang Myun and their seafood pancakes. I had my issues in the past with their tangsooyook being too doughy and tasting pretty much like greasy rubbery rice cakes - it seems their pancakes are pretty much made from the same batter. I don't know why they insist on these heavily doughy textures for their fried foods when it should be crunchy and crisp - is it due to the chefs unwilling to change the recipe? Owners trying to save money from ingredients? We'll never know. Jajang noodles were okay...sauce tasted like it had too much soy sauce in it. Was a little disappointed by that.

AMAZING. Great food and service. I was craving jajangmyeon and Seoul Jangteo fulfilled my craving. We ordered the Hot Stone Pot Spicy Pork Dupbap, Jajang Noodle, Tangsuyook, Kimchi Fried Rice, Jambong Noodle, Kimchi Scallion Pancake, and Soft Tofu Soup (with beef). The Jajang Noodle, Tangsuyook, and Jambong Noodle were the most notable. The flavor of the Jajang Noodle was perfectly seasoned. I've had overly salty ones in the past so I was very satisfied with the Jajang Noodles. They also had great proportion of noodle and sauce. The sauce also had a good amount of meat and veggies. I also normally don't like Tangsuyook because I think it's too oily and the sauce is too sweet. I did not have that experience here. Lastly, the Jambong Noodle was so flavorful and full of seafood and veggies. I was so full but couldn't stop eating it. We ordered a lot of food and it was all ready extremely quickly. Overall really great service. Waiters were very attentive and fast. I can't wait to come back in the future for more Jajang Noodle and Jambong.
We accidentally walked in this restaurant because we saw many Korean family were dinning there. It turns out not bad. This is a more casual but very traditional Korean restaurant, although they serve some Chinese adapted Korean dishes which we did not try this time. We had Jajang noodle (excellent), Soft Tofu stew with seafood (excellent) and Beef Bulgogi (good). I would definitely come back for more, especially their Gukbap dishes.

Some of the food is ok, but the pork gukbap simply was not edible. It just tasted like I was eating murky water.

The portion here is huge while the price is reasonable. Stir-fried Seafood Jambong Noodle is pretty good. It's definitely so big that it's like 2 portions. Stone Pot Bibimbap is ok. The taste is a bit lacking even after I added a lot of sauce in it. But I plan to come here and try other dishes as well.

We came here as a family and it was my son's first Korean food experience as a 2.5-year old. We were taken by surprise at hire friendly everybody was. The food was well prepared - not luxurious or expensive but just solid, hearty Korean food. No frills. It was reasonably priced and we could tell the authenticity of the place by the fellow diners, many of whom were Koreans. Thank you for a great meal!

food was pretty solid. I went on a Saturday and my friend and I both got 순두부 which was pretty good. No complaints. The wait was kinda long but every place in Allston is pretty busy on Saturday. I would go again.
