“Koreana is a Korean dining gem in Cambridge. Their barbeque dishes like Kalbi, Jumuluk, and Samgyeopsal are mouthwatering, complemented perfectly by fresh and delicious side dishes. The service is top-notch, with kind and professional staff ensuring a memorable experience. Don't be swayed by negative reviews; my experience here was nothing short of exceptional.“
“My daughter took my husband and I to this wonderful place and the soup was wonderful! The staff is very helpful! Uber or if you live close walk! We drove and luckily found a space to park. The place is small but it is so worth getting the Tofu soup. The other items are so well prepared!“
“I used to go here years ago for their bulgogi tacos, quesadilla, and kimchi fries and have never been able to find the time to go. I went the other day to get kimchi fries before work and I am so glad I did! It's a tiny spot for mostly takeout and I ordered kimchi fries with bulgogi. When I went to pickup my food they told me they accidentally made it with spicy pork so I could either keep the pork or they would remake it. They were very nice about it but I was fine with spicy pork and they ended up giving me both spicy pork and beef. I don't know why I haven't gotten these more these past few years because they are still as amazing as they were years ago. Hot fries with kimchi, bulgogi, different sauces and a runny egg on top. One of the best meals and it was $13!“
“Vegetarian options: Tofu bibimbap is really great. So much so my veg partner has not wanted to try anything else.Parking: Parking is steep but wide open on Esther road for dinner and evening pickup.Kid-friendliness: I take my 4yr old here to get bubble tea and chicken katsu. He loves it.Wheelchair accessibility: Level entrance to sidewalk, seating layout and bathrooms are pretty spacious.“
“Food was incredibly delicious! I got to try the sweet potato corn dog and chicken teriyaki egg toast. My boyfriend had the half mozzarella dog and bacon egg toast. For an additional $0.99 you can get garlic bread for your egg toast. Nothing crazy but enhanced the flavors of the egg toast for sure. The mango peach slush was yummy and helped wash everything down. Ohkdog is located in a busy Hmart, so it can be a bit hectic. They have limited seating in the middle of the food court if you wish to dine-in. Overall, staff was friendly and food was filling. I am gluten-sensitive and would love to see more allergen-friendly options, but I understand they are corn dogs, which are classically made with wheat flour.“
“Great food!! I got the Number 4. We arrived less than 30 minutes before closing on a Saturday night and we still were able to order the food that we wanted with no issues. Special thanks to the young people running the shift, you guys did great!“
“Just tried this place tonight during our visit to see our son at BU and OMG! The food was ah-mazing!! We had the bibimbap, takoyaki, Korean fried chicken and a Korean corn dog (very interesting). The portion sizes are very generous to boot. Everything was soooo good and that’s saying a lot as we are a foodie family. We live in S. Maine where there are incredible places to eat. This place is small and quaint and the staff are sweet. I never write reviews on anything but felt compelled after eating here. Try it! You won’t be sorry. We will definitely go back on our next visit for sure!“
“Love their chicken! So crunchy and juicy, amazing flavor! Love the huge variety of sauces, gotta try them all and choose your favorite(s)! Mine are the Hahaha and Mango Habanero yum! The chickens pieces aren't huge but oh so worth it! Had a 7 piece whole and 6 wings and tteokbokki for 3 not too hungry people! No leftovers and had my own kimchi and white pickled radish on the side. They forgot my order of spicy radish once but not hating, just make sure to double check your order! I get takeout from here at least once a month or whenever I crave fried chicken haha (always)“
“my fav donut spot in the area, decent location too with the different food places next to it and the market behind! i usually park in the lot and walk down a few mins to kimchipapi and get donuts before i leave! the donuts are the perfect amount of chewy and the icing adds a fun flavor :3 i love how they change most of the flavors every week! def recommend“
“The food was delicious. The service was good and helpful if a bit over-extended. The atmosphere was not what we were anticipating but that may be on us for not knowing hotpot is the Eastern equivalent of taking the family to the Cheesecake Factory.“
“This is the first place where they served half/half option for jjajangmyun and jjambbong like they usually do back home in Korea. I appreciated the option for that because I love both and I would always have to choose! The ttangsuyuk was also pretty good and they gave a good amount too (we already ate a few before taking the pic). The employee was also SUPER friendly even though it was at night and the food came out fast as well. There is a lot of space in the place to sit and is clean as well. I would come back again if I'm in the area!“
“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!“
“Very small space, but the decor is cute. There are only three tables, so not good for large parties. I recommend taking to-go. The bulgogi beef burrito is my favorite. The sauces are good, and it is filling. I haven’t been here in years, so I am not sure if the quality is the same.“
“Only just realized I've been coming here for 10+ years but have yet to leave a review. Small, family owned business with love & effort put into everything coming out of the kitchen. Great spot for breakfast & lunch during the week. Highly recommend a breakfast sandwich in the AM or a spicy pork plate for the afternoon! Love supporting Bonne Chance Cafe, thanks ya'll.“
“Each experience we've had here has been wonderful. The flavors are perfectly balanced and the quality of the ingredients is high. The staff are friendly, and we especially love that the owner always remembers us and offers us extra kimchi because she knows how much we love it. Wide ranging menu that offers great options for all, including our kids.“
“Seoul Topokki makes it high on our high taste-per-dollar list. Korean culinary tradition includes doctor’s advice - food is medicine there, by tradition, and there’s a wide assortment of healthy options for the budget-conscious. Most of our fellow diners were school-age, almost entirely Asian.We ordered Bulgogi Topokki, along with a Vergetable Korean pancake. New to us, Topokki refers to mochi-like rice cylinders, about the size of Penne pasta, but solid core, and is the specialty of the house, offered in a variety of combinations. The taste of both dishes, but particularly the beef broth, was off-the-charts great.My only complaint is a familiar one, having encountered this often at mid-priced and budget Asian restaurants -the beef consisted of some tender bits, but also beef slices that were so tough they were almost inedible.The shame of it is, this is easily prevented by slow-cooking the beef for at least a few hours, but apparently Topokki (and many other places) either aren’t on to this culinary technique, or don’t choose to invest the preparation time to get a really exceptional dish.I took my leftover beef and broth home, and slow-cooked the leftover beef, holding the broth on the side, along with some store-bought marked-down trimmed beef rib bones, cheap because it’s ostensibly for soup, with the desirable beef rib meat cut off. Cooked for 3 hours with onions at 250º, it became exceedingly tender, and with the Topokki broth added back along with some vegetables, it was extremely delicious and satisfying.The place is very comfortable and welcoming, and the staff is great. The picnic-style tables have nice rounded edges, and the chairs are wide, and the restrooms clean. We will defintitely be going back - but not for the beef, next time. We hope to hear back that they’ve decided to pre-cook or slow-cook the beef to alleviate the toughness - it’s a trick that works great on even the cheapest cuts of beef. It’d also be nice to see some capsaicin sauce on the table - we didn’t see it and it wasn’t offered.“
“Good Thai and Korean dishes served at this restaurant ?. Their menu offers many choices, from Japanese to Thai and Korean dishes. We ordered Thai dishes, and we prefer spicier foods. They didn't disappoint they were very tasty, just enough heat like we prefer ? .Well worth the try ?“
“Sushi is great and very well priced. Eating in or take out is great. Fish is always awesome and the prices and deals can't be beat. The workers are always amazing to work with if something is incorrect and they make sure to make it right. I always order “
“Really authentic and high quality korean food. They take pride in the small free appetizers: kimchi, pickled radish, and sesame broccoli. The kimchi pancake, japche, and beef stone bibim bap were right on! So tasty and made with quality in mind!“
“Really enjoyed the soup and how you could decide for yourself how much salt and pepper to add. Also, as most korean restaurants do they serve banchan/side dishes, which is great. The kimchi in the banchan was very bland though. My only dislike about this place is that they appear to want you to leave as soon as possible. I was not yet done with my meal and there goes the check to pay. I understand there is usually a line here during the dinner time but still the servers could exercise abit more patience.“

“I'm so excited to see this spot expand and grow throughout (and outside) Boston! It's such a delicious, easy and affordable spot to get some quick Korean food - in bowl form. I've tried their pork belly and bulgogi - both were delicious. Can't wait to see this place continue to thrive!“
“The food is excellent, everything is made in house as far as I can tell. The ban chan is always unique and creative. Obviously their Bibimbap is to die for, but their Korean Grill items keep me coming back. The pork belly is divine!! The owners/chefs are probably the sweetest people I have ever met and treat us like family. What a treat to eat!!“
“I recently visited this SGD Dubu near Braintree, MA, during my trip to Boston, MA, and it was a delightful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the service was top-notch. We tried the Tteok-bokki, which was incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The noodles from the soup with beef were a hit at our table, and the seafood scallion pancake was a must-try. What sets this place apart is its limited menu, which ensures that each dish is of excellent quality. They also offer lunch specials, which are worth it. Additionally, the food was served promptly, which was great since we were a group of 9. The best part was that they were happy to accommodate splitting the payments. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I would highly recommend."“
“I recommend for a party of 3+ and order Gamjatng. The soup is tasty, the pork bone with meat is very very soft. Pancake was the MVP for this meal. The spicy pork feet we ordered has a smell, avoid to eat skin, but the meat and taste recommend to order.“
“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!“
“Went there with an old school friend who works in the same company. We shared "Bokum Jambong". It far exceeded my expectations for a food court. Furthermore, my friend kept on pointing out the ample seafood ingredients used (Large & Small Shrimp, Muscle, Squid, ...). Definitely will go back to try other dishes based on this experience. Service outstanding also.“
“Enjoyed the 갈비 비빔밥 (Galbi Bibimbap) which is essentially marinated beef short rib in a mixture of white rice and fresh vegetables and a fried egg. It was delicious and an enjoyable experience watching the food cook in the hot bowl right in front of me. The rice at the bottom crisped up and gave the dish that extra crunch I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise and I'd come again.“
“Take out food ready at the expected time. Everything was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, well presented, followed our allergy restrictions exactly as requested, and really friendly staff who remember us from pre-pandemic days. Highly recommend.“
“We were seated quickly, really different and positive experience. Food was very good. We didn't get adventurous with the all the intestine options, but what we got was very delicious. Atmosphere was very cool, the waiter was very nice and attentive. Overall, I reccomend the experience.“
“My partner had never tried Korean food so I took him here! What a fabulous spot. The food is just delicious and the service is great. We both had sizzling dolsot bibim bap and it was so lovely - a great mix of flavors and ingredients, all served in a sizzling stone bowl. They also have a nice selection of soju and other fruit wines. Looking forward to going back here!“
“Loud music, uncomfortable seating, QR code menu type place. Food was awesome though !! I got udon noodles and the consistency of the noodles was great. Also got dumplings for an appetizer and they were tasty too. Super quiet at 8pm which was nice.“

“We came here for garden Patio Opening. The staff was friendly and helpful. We got the Lychee Sangria and ginger Lemonade. They both were favor and refreshing. We ordered the Cheesesteak Dumpling, KBBQ Quesadilla, and KBBQ Galbi. Love the fusion of favors . The Quesadilla was tasty twist to a classical item. The Dumplings were pack with favor in a bite size piece. My favorite has to be the Galbi it was smokey, tender and juicy. Definitely will be back“
“My husband and I really enjoyed our evening here. My stomach was a little funny so I went low key and got a miso soup, a single chicken skewer and a avo-cucumber roll. It was the perfect amount of food for me at that moment. All three items were delish. My husband got the Kimchi Jigae and he liked it very much. This place was HOPPING by the time we left. It's clearly well liked - even the bar seating was full. We were served quickly and kindly by the waitstaff and they were moving people along. I hope to get to visit this restaurant again when I am able to eat more!“
“Got the wings and fries combo. Wings were good quality. The soy garlic sauce is a tiny bit strong on the soy taste, but was solid. The fries were nice and crisp and the nori seasoning on top was a nice add. Definitely a contender compared to Bonchons and BBQ Chicken with the ability to combo being a big plus over the other two.“
