“This place is great. The chicken is unbelievable..
We are making our way through the rest of the menu.. not always sure what we're going to get.. but everything has been delicious.. Do us all a favor and go support this place.. super nice people working there to..“

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

“Very fine Korean cuisine. Complex, rich flavors presented in single-sized sizzling cast-iron pans. Highly recommend the grilled chicken. Like the food, the service is exceptional. The place is not cheap. My only quibble is the music which did not match the delicacy of the food.“

“I love that they have a combo option where you can get Jjajangmyun & Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour fried pork), and the Tangsuyuk was on point. Very crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The Jjambbong was also pretty good and the bowl is really huge. The price is really good compared to the amount of food they give you, and the combo comes at the perfect portion for one person (although it was enough for me to share as well). The Jjajangmyun was good but could use more flavor. Overall, I loved this place and would definitely go again.

Note: you need to ask for a parking permit paper (which the workers will give to you if you ask) to park at the lot behind the restaurant.“

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

“Will recommend to my friends. Snacks are tasty like seafood pancake, oyster balls, fried chicken, etc.
All kind of meat and few seafood are available. $39.99 per person for dinner which is quite worthy as all you can eat.
You got more than you can expect for $39.99 per person at Fenway.“

“The quality of the meats was outstanding—fresh, well-marinated, and perfectly sliced for grilling right at the table. The short ribs and spicy pork belly were absolute standouts. Everything tasted authentic and flavorful. The grill was changed regularly, and the staff checked in often without being intrusive.“

“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!“

“amazing food and great and beautiful girls services“

“I usually like the food here but the service is usually terrible. I think if they improved their service, the restaurant would be somewhere I’d like to return to. This was my third or fourth time but this last experience made me not want to come back. 😔

The food taste/quality also wasn’t as good as I hoped. Mandoo ttuk guk didn’t have enough mandoo and too much ttuk - they should also bring a burner so the guk stays hot.

I think the waitress got mad bc I asked her to switch out a combo item for bulgogi which cost less than galbi - I was confused about why they wouldn’t want to do that.“

“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!“

“BEST fried chicken ever!! so so excited for this necessary addition to the neighbourhood run by such incredible people! really delicious drinks at the bar too; i already know having this nearby is gonna be such a crazy financial liability for me lol“

“If you're looking for truly authentic Korean food, this restaurant is perfect. All the side dishes were flavorful and tasted just like real Korean home-style cooking. The crispy chicken was excellent, and the seafood soondubu was rich and delicious. Highly recommend!“

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

“Love K but so dad they're not open Sundays anymore. Best food ever“

“The food was authentic and amazing, but the service was what stood out. We were running late and came in at the time when the kitchen was closing but they accommodated us beautifully. Their waiting staff was amazing and very warm(especially Judy). Overall loved the food but the service was the standout.“

“A must-try for authentic elevated Korean food! This place uses traditional, heartfelt home recipes with high quality ingredients—it’s easily among the best Korean dining I’ve had in the States. The experience was matched by impeccable service; the entire team was exceptionally nice and thoughtful.“

“One of my fav places in boston. Been here multiple times tried almost everything in the menu. Samguypsal bokkeum was superb. It's chewy with the spicy taste that makes me keep reaching for to another bite. Chicken katsu and jokbal so worth to try.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!!“

“So warm and comforting. Korea Garden is a no frills, authentic Korean restaurant serving up so many high-quality classics at an affordable price.

Food:
- Samgae Tang ($23.99)
Unbeatable value. Huge chicken stuffed with sticky rice. I’d consider myself a samgyetang connoisseur and this one is definitely up there.
- Kalbi Chim ($26.99)
Perfectly tender, fall-off off the bone short ribs in a sweet soy-based broth with carrots, radish, and a half-egg. With rice, this dish is so addicting.

Service:
- Attentive and welcoming. I never had to ask for refills of water, nor did I ever struggle getting a server’s attention. These people know what they’re doing.

Authentic Korean place that I’ll definitely be returning to.“

“This self-served salad bar is perfect! Everything keeps clean and staff wearing gloves. Though they have different choices of Korean food, I was attracted by this fresh variety of salad and it’s so flavorful and tasty. Great for vegetarian and veggie lovers, can’t ask more for this summer ! Highly recommended the place.“
