Koreana is a highly-recommended Korean restaurant in Cambridge, known for its authentic and delicious cuisine. The restaurant offers a wide variety of traditional Korean dishes, including ban-chan (side dishes), BBQ options, and popular items like Naengmyeon (냉면) and beef dumplings. The staff is friendly and kind, with service that is generally good, as they respond quickly to requests. While prices may be slightly higher than average, the quality of food makes it a worthwhile dining experience. Portions are generous, making it a good option for groups. The interior is neat and tidy, with a simple outlook. Customers enjoy the variety of options on the menu, from appetizers to main dishes, with some noting the seafood pancake as quite thick and oily. The BBQ experience is complemented by lettuce for wraps and sauces, although some found the ssamjang a bit different and liquidy. The grilled chicken and shrimp are flavorful, with the shrimp peeled well and tasty, while the LA galbi is good but may be a little small for the price. The restaurant does not offer Korean desserts, so visitors should plan accordingly, but nearby Hmart and Paris Baguette provide dessert options. Overall, Koreana remains one of the oldest Korean restaurants near Boston, drawing customers for its tasty meals and clean environment, with staff who go above and beyond to ensure a good experience.
