Customer Reviews
Long time ago frequent visitor for dinner weekdays. Reminiscent of great 해물잡탕. Still taste good but my memory faint whereas there was lobster and crabs as ingredients. 갈비탕 good too. 반찬 very good. Service cordial and friendly.
Packed at 6pm on a Sunday night, but I dined solo so I got the last seat available! Service was a bit slow considering the full house but was still very friendly! I ordered: Yukhoe: Was so good and reminded me of Yukhoe back in Korea! Great portion size too (and they have a smaller size available). Chicken Teriyaki: A tad bit too sweet for my liking but the chicken was so juicy and paired perfectly with this rice. Perfect for comfort food anytime, anywhere
The plain outlook belies the neat and tidy inside. Went for the grill, tried both chicken and shrimp, and I had ordered the LA galbi as well but had the cook cook it for me so I could pack home. They do give you lettuce so you can eat it as a wrap, and helps you to cook on the grill (see video). Side dishes and the sauces were pretty authentic. Ssamjang (fermented soy paste that is mixed with other sauces for meat lettuce wraps) was a little different, more pale and liquidy. Didn't quite like that one. They do replenish the lettuce somewhat, but not the side dishes. The bowl of rice was good amount. The meat was marinated well. I had similar grilled chicken before but shrimp version was new to me. It was tasty and peeled well. The LA galbi was good too, but a little too little in terms of
There wasn’t a single Korean — it was full of foreigners, and everyone seemed to be truly enjoying the food! Definitely a place that satisfies all tastes. Though… the bill was a bit of a surprise. 😅
The food was really good! I personally think this is one of the best Korean restaurants near Boston!! The Naengmyeon (냉면) 🍜 was really good and the beef dumplings were so delicious 🥟. I really recommend trying this place! Apparently, this restaurant is one of the oldest Korean restaurants near the Boston area!! The staff were so kind and the place is clean.
