41 Best Korean Restaurants near Medford

“Had a great experience at Sura BBQ in Medford! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Our server Ethan was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere was nice, and overall it was a great dining experience. Definitely would come back again!“

“One of the best full-service restaurants in Boston!“

“I was born in Seoul, Korea and I have to say that their tteokbbokki brings back the memories of my childhood to Sinsadong tteokbbokki where it was known as the birthplace of tteokbboki according to the Koreans back then. So, chef Sam’s tteokbbokki’s definitely brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood. It is very well filled and of course, scrumptious as well. Sena and Sam really provide heartwarming service to all the customers whether it is for dine in or take out. They really go beyond to educate each customers with the origin of each dishes and ingredients they use to make it so some customers whom aren’t so experienced in Korean dishes can easily expect when the order each dish. Chicken skin is my personal guilty pleasure where I can either dip them into tteokbboki sauce or even crunch the alone is so satisfying. I would have to say Park’s kitchen is a true hidden gem Korean restaurant in Boston. My mouth is watering as I am thinking of their food.. no regrets whatsoever.“

“Real good spot! I went here with my cousin and her friend right before seeing a show at Brighton Music Hall and it was well worth it. Their bulgogi bibimbap, kimchi fried rice, and loaded fries were soo good. I would come back here again to try more items on their menu.“

“Great Food!!!!“

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

“Some of the best food we’ve had in a long time. We ordered both the spicy and non-spicy boneless wings, and they were perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful and not greasy at all. The pickled radish was delicious, and the vegetable dumplings were light with a wonderful kimchi-forward flavor. Every dipping sauce was so good that we finished all of it.

K-Bok deserves to be busy. If you’re in Somerville—or looking for Korean fried chicken that is genuinely worth the trip—please give this local, family-owned restaurant a try.“

“This restaurant exceeded my expectations, standing out among the numerous Korean restaurants I have visited. Food was very fresh and quality of the food were exceptional, making it a great experience. Additionally, David provided exemplary service, he is among the finest servers I have encountered. I appreciated the relaxed atmosphere, which allowed me to savor my meal without feeling rushed. I will return in the future and highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The chicken is always delicious whenever I have a chance to get some. I've probably been visiting this shop occasionally for about 2 years now and the quality has never disappointed. The only issue I've had is that they're maybe too popular so sometimes the wait well past the estimated pickup time. But hey, fresh chicken that's still crispy when I get home.“

“Was quick and yummy. Maybe a little salt would be good too“

“We ordered 96 pieces of Golden Original wings from BBQ Chicken Malden for a party and everyone loved them! They were all gone by the end of the party. The chicken was crispy and really good, even though it was such a big order. The staff were also super friendly and helpful when we picked it up. Definitely recommend for parties or big orders.“

“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!“

“These mochi donuts are insanely good. Dangerous even. This is definitely the best mochi donut spot I've been to and it's hard to resist during every HMart visit. It pains me to think of them throwing away even a single of their donuts at the end of the day. Please buy them :)“

“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!“

“The service was great and the food was delicious. I went in and got some take out. Once the food was brought out I asked if I could eat a little bit at a table. My server allowed me to and brought me some water and side dishes. I got the jjambbong seafood noodles. I was assuming it would have a strong seafood taste but to my surprise it was a very mellow lime’ish taste. The broth was delicious and the noodles were a perfect blend of springy and chewy and held onto the broth great. It is a bit pricey but so are most restaurants. If your ever in the area I absolutely recommend buk kyung“

“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!“

“Holy cow this food is amazing! The carribean spice jerk bowl had to be one of the best fusion dishes I’ve ever tried in my life. Went back 3x this week- forever hooked! So glad there’s many locations but the dishes will slightly differ based on that.“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“My wife and I went on a wedding trip in wine country California last year and had an amazing BLT sandwich with super fresh local ingredients at a little cafe. After returning home to the Boston area , I started a search for a lunch shop near my office on Portland Street that could replicate that BLT experience for me. Ultimately the Bonne Chance Cafe was it! The folks that own and run this place are quiet, seemingly shy, but sweet and lovely people very dedicated to their craft. I try at least once a week to go back there and get my BLT on toasted wheat bread with sliced grilled chicken added, and I've been doing this long enough now that they know exactly why I'm there. Their food is delectable and tasty! They run a tight ship, high on cleanliness and the freshest ingredients. Definitely a must find!“

“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.“

“I work in Burlington, and K-Style is my go-to spot. I usually order the Cup Bops and the chicken bites, and they're always absolutely delicious. The flavors taste just like genuine Korean street food, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

I really wish they'd open another location at Natick Mall so people in the MetroWest area could enjoy it too!“

“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!“

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

“The service a perfect 5 stars. They are busy, but any server, multiple servers attend to you. The staff courteous, polite and well mannered.

The food all good. Pork cheek on the menu a plus. More importantly, refilling banchan is not limiting like other kbbq places that can make you feel uncomfortable. The only little thing I would comment on is the salt pepper sesame dipping sauce can use a bit more kick and a little less oil.

The atmosphere is comfortable, lively and no frills.

A favorite to return to.“

“Some of the best Korean food I’ve ever had!! A must visit after a show at Brighton Music Hall“

“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!!“

“A gem of a Korean restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, generous portions with fresh ingredients. The food is ready in a very short time. Also great for take out when you don't want to cook. Perillas has become my husband's go to and favorite meal. We are very grateful for such high quality food in our neighborhood.“

“I ordered the spicy pork lo mein and it was delicious! The portions were very large! The only downside is finding a table. The woman at the counter was so nice, she was closing up and came over to my table to ask if I wanted a to go box before she left. I will definitely be back!“

“Burrito was delish. Crispy fries were awesome. Will be back again to try something else.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Amazing food, very friendly service“

“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.“

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

“I loved the beef tataki and spring roll!! I will definitely be going back!“

“Loved the food, the service, great place 🙌🏼“
