“Oh K-Dog is a quick service food vendor within HMart Quincy that serves a wide variety of street foods and quick bites, such as Egg Toast, Korean corndogs, and soon to also serve Bingsu as well.

Service is very quick, the corndogs do take a while to come out though but makes sense as they make it fresh.

The corndogs are pretty good, lightly fried so the dough is crispy but still chewy. The fillings are decent for the price, and there is a wide arrangement of sauces and condiments to place that can enhance the flavor.“

“For spicy lovers, Gamjatang and Shrimp Papaya Salad are recommended! Must try!!!“

“I order 3 kinds every time. Fillings are generous and the rice is perfectly made. It is takeout only, in KamMan at the 2nd entrance just before the produce/pastries, right after BaLe. Super sweet older Korean couple. It just made me want to support them even more!“

“Live music multiple times a week (the jazz band was charming and played wonderfully), hand-shaved was a crowdpleaser for kids, great tapas selection. I highly recommend that bottomless tapas. It's reasonably priced and you have a number of options that are not on the regular menu.

Our party had teenagers, pre-teens, and a toddler and they were all entertained and well fed throughout the entire two-hour dinner.

Staff were responsive, sweet, and lovely. Highly recommended. You can hear the music pleasingly flowing around Coolidge Corner when the band plays.“

“Terrific food, more than my party of 5 could eat. Excellent service. Small quiet place. My choice for best restaurant in Brookline Village. BUT it can be a difficult reservation to get and you need to allow time for the courses, especially if you get the Top Line offering.“

“Really enjoyed my experience at bb.q Chicken. The chicken was super crispy and delicious, and everything tasted fresh. The staff were really funny and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. The place was also very clean and had a nice atmosphere. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to others!“

“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!“

“This Korean restaurant has always been one of my go-to spots for an easy, delicious meal with generous portions. The jokbal and bossam were definitely the highlights! The jokbal was flavorful and satisfyingly tender, while the bossam was rich, juicy, and delicious when paired with the side dishes. Both felt unique and comforting, especially if you’re craving a hearty pork dish.

A couple of the side dishes seemed old, although they were still good, and the service can be inconsistent; sometimes great, other times a bit disappointing. Overall, it’s still a solid four-star experience, and I’ll definitely be back for the jokbal and bossam!“

“Amazing experience every time i’ve been. The last few times Carmen was our server and she was the absolute best!! Catered to our every need, and was super nice and friendly! 🙂‍↕️“

“Love Seoul Topokki! Such a cozy little spot with really comforting Korean food and great portions. The cold noodles were amazing, and the tteokbokki had some of the best texture I’ve had in Allston. Definitely worth checking out if you’re craving Korean food.. go support this place!“

“Omg best restaurant in greater Boston area. Hanna’s service was impeccable, made us feel so welcome and comfortable we can not wait to come back. The food was AMAZING, kimchi some of the best we’ve ever had, and the lychee sushi at the end was SO. GOOD. we WILL be back. Thank you for an amazing experience.“

“It might sound strange to some, but I want to thank SGD for having some of the best rice in the area. A lot of restaurants go for cheaper rice options to save on costs. SGD using better quality rice really does elevate the meal, and helps it stand out among other Asian dining options. Thank you for this attention to detail!

SGD is also my favorite Korean restaurant in the Quincy area. The clam 순두부찌개 (soondubu jjigae) is my go-to!“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

“I’ve always been a huge fan of BBQ chicken, but Bonchon might have officially converted me into a fan 🍗🔥

I ordered the Golden Powder Chicken, Yangnyeom Chicken, and Pork Belly Kimchi Fried Rice, and everything was delicious. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The Yangnyeom was my favorite, and the Golden Powder was such a delicious surprise. The Pork Belly Kimchi Fried Rice was also SO good!

The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Definitely coming back to try more! ❤“

“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.“

“Their beef bulgogi is very tasty.“
