The owner might be Korean, but I can hardly call it food, let alone, Korean dishes. The scallion pancakes barely stick together; the chicken is not fresh; and the marinated beef short ribs are hard as stone. The drink we grabbed from the refrigerator is 4 days past the expiration date. When informed the owner of it, she explained that so long as it is not open, it should be okay to drink.... Sorry, not for us. The worst part is, the owner still demanded a 20% service fee. By far, this is the worst Korean food I have had in the United States.

We ordered takeout and the food was so delicious and authentic I can't wait to return.
The kimchi pancakes was so good and the portion was large. Same for the scallion pancake. More fluffy than crispy and thin as you would get from somewhere else but so tasty.
Kimchi fried rice was also fantastic!

Very tiny portions of side dishes! The food is far from what you'd call authentic Korean. But ajumma was friendly and polite.

My husband and I love to come here for delicious food made by the lovely owner Chong. She runs the whole restaurant so you have to be patient if it's a busy night. Idk what some other reviewer's had in the past, but I've never had a dish that disappointed! Recently tried the ginger chicken and the meat was so tender. Enjoyed it with the orange citrus tea which tastes like candy. If it's quiet sometimes Chong will sit and chat. This restaurant feels like a friend invited you over to her grandmother's to eat.
Agree completely with other reviews about the food being very bland, owner being impolite, and it’s not a real Korean restaurant. Ingredients are definitely cheap and not very fresh. Their kimchi is the worst ever, all the soup broths are just plain water with added spice powder, and beef is bland, chewy and overcooked. Owner is always with a pissy attitude.

There are a lot of reviews on here that say the food tasted like it was artificial, but that wasn’t my experience at all. The Korean food tasted delicious and had a unique yet delicious taste. I was very pleased with the food and it came out fast. I honestly am disheartened seeing these negative reviews as I hope they don’t dissuade people from trying this restaurant. It’s hard to come across Korean food that tastes authentic in this area, and I was very happy to find a place to enjoy food from my heritage.

If you like eating long-ago food reheated in the microwave, then this is the place to go. I poisoned myself with Ramen that was like a soup that you can make at home that had been in the fridge for a very long time. Just look at the picture how terrible it looks, I regret I was eating that. I was even more astonished when I saw in my banking account that I had been cheated out of a $20! tip that I never left! There was no other diners besides me, I can imagine this Korean woman squeezing the last one out with such disgusting food quality.

Kimchi Chigae is my go-to whenever I go to Little Pusan. I like that is fresh, and keeps boiling after it is served. Filling and satisfying. Chong have allowed me to call her "Unnie"/Older Sister. A "friendship" we have established from my frequent visit.

Delicious family style Korean food, my favorite food to get through the cold winter. Chong makes everything herself and you can tell she gives herself to get cooking. Highly recommended.
In an age where people are waking up to diversity, it is time to support business like Little Pusan. Like China Town or the North End, it provides you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture food-wise. For a small town, Maynard is fortunate in that respect giving you several options to eat your way across the globe!Food-wise...only the best ingredients extremely well prepared! Service-wise...what can I say other than polite, professional and patient I am a slow eater.Why the 4 in atmosphere (almost lovingly gave it a 3)...you will not feel like you are in the lap of luxury...but like great restaurants such as the "No Name" it simply adds to the charm!Being a foodie...eating in 49 of the 50 states I would compare this to the Lemon Chicken I had at tge Golden Dragon, San Francisco.

I ordered two bibimbaps and a chigae for pickup. The order came out to be 50$+ and the pork bibimbap had ONLY 3-4 pieces of pork in the ENTIRE bowl. The beef bibimbap had around 5 pieces. The pork chigae also only has two pieces of meat and the tofu was rough. The soup flavor was simply not good. I would not recommend coming here.
