“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!!!“

“Very sweet older couple who rolls gimbap to order at a tiny takeout counter inside Kam Man supermarket. I've tried almost every roll on the menu and they're all good, but would strongly suggest trying the anchovy and short rib ones. Best gimbap spot in the Boston area!“

“Dining out lately has been disappointing—expensive with mediocre food and service—so I rarely do it anymore. However, this restaurant was a wonderful exception. Both the food and service were exceptional, and the atmosphere was lovely.
​The fried chicken was perfectly crispy and delicious, and the seafood soup was full of flavor. They even treated us to a complimentary small drink at the end! What impressed me most was their honesty: they calculate the suggested tip based on the pre-tax amount. Many places nowadays calculate tips after tax, which I find unfair. It’s refreshing to see a business with such integrity. Highly recommended!“

“The samyetang truly stole the show. The broth was bursting with flavor, and the chicken was incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone. It was the perfect dish to warm me up. But I have to say, the raw soy sauce shrimp was my absolute favorite—so tender with just the right amount of soy sauce.“

“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.“

“Seoul Soulongtang is a pretty popular restaurant located in the heart of Allston.

The lines are usually pretty long to enter here, so I would come early if you are looking to get a table. The service was quick and efficient, and they were able to get meals out within a timely manner.

The restaurant has a large seating area, and there used to be seating areas where you could sit on the floor and eat. I haven't seen anyone use it though for a couple of years now, and it seems like it had been converted to where they store delivery orders. The kitchen is open and you can see into the kitchen at some tables.

As for the food, it is alright but the most recent visit I thought it was a little lacking. I usually get the Budae Jjigae, which comes with the sauce on the bottom. The sauce eventually diffuses throughout the soup to have the signature spice. The Budae Jjigae is very good, and I would definitely recommend it if you are hungry.

In comparison, I also tried the Yookgae Jang. I expected it to be spicy and with good flavor, but I was disappointed to see that the broth was watery and had no real flavor to it. It just tasted like water with a bit of diluted spice.

The prices here are pretty good for the portion size, and I would definitely come here for a casual dinner with friends.“

“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! 🙂‍↕️“

“Quality was great at this location and our server Jamie gave us amazing service. The spicy hot chicken was perfectly crispy with a satisfying kick of heat. A nice surprise was the honey garlic chicken that the owner Gift recommended, it had an excellent texture and great flavor. The rice cakes were some of the best we've had, especially with the melted cheese, and the fish cakes were a great addition that completed the dish. We'll definitely be back!“

“We are the Harvard Korean Association (HKA), a group of undergraduate Korean-American students at Harvard. For one of our major events involving Korean-Americans across the school, Seoul Topokki was our catering of choice. 사장님 was so kind and helpful in supporting us and the food was of course so delicious. A lot of the students rated this some of the best Korean food they’ve had in the area, and many of us hadn’t had such good authentic Korean food since leaving home. Seoul Topokki remains our students’ favorite food places and we are so happy we spent all our food budget here!! Thank you Seoul Topokki!“

“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..“

“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!“

“The Tteok Bokki with ramen and cheese was great and the portion was HUGE! It was enough for several people or several meals. Slightly spicy, and good flavor. The Ganjang ( Glazed Soy & Sweet ) Chicken was okay. I liked the sauce, and it probably would have been better fresh at the restaurant instead of getting it via door dash. Not bad, but very thick and heavy breading. I would definitely try again and try more items.“

“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!“

“Bonchon Quincy on Newport Ave is a great Korean restaurant with crispy, flavorful fried chicken and delicious sauces. The food is always fresh, portions are satisfying, and the staff is friendly. Clean space and a fun spot to enjoy Korean comfort food.“

“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.“
