39 Best Korean Restaurants near Somerville

“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.“

“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“

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

“The Korean twice-fried chicken is a great deal. For $8.25 I got 4 gigantic pieces of boneless chicken. They are really tenders and not normal boneless wings sized pieces. They are very crunchy. The soy garlic sauce doesn’t seem to stick as much as the one at Crave.

I was impressed with their presentation for the seaweed salad. It justified more the slightly high $8.50.

Minus one star because the omelette nigiri was not good.

Service is laid back helpful. This time the employee pointed me to the ordering screen to see pictures of everything.“

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.“

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

“Overall 9.1/10. Food was awesome. Good value for the amount. I was pretty full. Bowl was delicious. Definitely would go back.
bulgogi coreanos bowl 9.3/10
Shrimp tempura kimbap 9.0/10
Sweet garlic chicken 8.9/10
Fritas kimchi 8.7/10“

“Great Food!!!!“

“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.“

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

“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 :)“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants! My friend told me about this place last year and I am so glad that she did. The staff is so friendly and accommodating and the food always tastes so fresh and delicious! If you enjoy top notch Korean food, this is your place!“

“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.“

“K-Style is a Korean quick service restaurant serving Korean Corndogs and Cupbop.

Staff are friendly, they adapt to the customer's needs and any requests. The corndogs come out quite quickly as well.

The food is good. The corndog is pretty standard and the price is about the same as other places. It's fried pretty well and tastes good, and there's a wide range of sauces available for use.“

“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!“

“I feel like this is one of the best things that could happen to chicken I love it nice and crispy and sweet the tables and floors are clean and the services is amazing. They should open one up pin hyde park. I tell all my friends to try this chicken they love it

Kid-friendliness: The always speak to the kids and ask them about their day. And smile“

“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“

“oh my oh my my wonderous bulgogi… if only we had a little bit more time together… i already miss the feeling of it in my mouth as my taste buds savor every single inch of sweet goodness… i want more now more than anything but this traitorous mortal body cannot handle it im so sorry lets meet again in the next life“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Amazing experience every time i’ve been. The last few times Carmen was our server and she was the absolute best!! Catered to our every need, and was super nice and friendly! 🙂‍↕️“

“This is my go-to place whenever I visit H-Mart food court. We usually visit on weekends and the lady that's always there is so friendly and nice. Very willing to provide extra pickled radishes or to go boxes, or whatever else we might need. It is a food court, and it can get busy, so I'd suggest getting here earlier if you want a table fast as it's first come first server, like any food court.We always get the half and half, whether it be jjajang-tangsooyook or jjamppong-jjajang or whatever else. The portions are great, as you can see in the photos. But the flavor is really good too. Especially on the jjamppong, we love the soup and the noodle. The soup has a kick to it without being overly spicy and has all the flavors of the ingredients infused into it. The noodle soaks up the soup nicely too. And there's a ton of seafood in it as well. Whenever we can, we always get the fried dumplings or goonmandu as well and they are amazing. They are so crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. They pair really well with the food. The tangsooyook is also really good in that the sauce isn't too sweet or tangy and the fried pork in it are also very crunchy.We like this place much better than the one down in Boston, which works out since we can just shop at the H-Mart too (and pick up some delicious egg toast from Oh-K Dog to go).“

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

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

“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 site is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this place. when I feel like having a proper dinner, this place comes immediately to my head. Great and many types of food and a large menu.courteous crew, and pleasant ambience. Not less important, the bill is modest. I tell about this place with pleasure.“

“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.“

“Their beef bulgogi is very tasty.“

“Amazing food, very friendly service“

“great spot for fried chicken! Ordering is super convenient, and the food is extremely fresh. There’s a variety of sauces to choose from. The service is friendly and efficient, even though it takes a bit of time (which is expected). Overall, I highly recommend coming here for some quality chicken!“
