I’m from LA, my partner is from Korea. We have been to so many Korean BBQ joints in the states. NONE, I REPEAT NONE have been as surprisingly disappointing. For the relatively high price point and positive reviews, the restaurant’s quantity of food in relation to value is extremely low. The quality also does not make up for the high price point either. The most outrageous dish was a $19 potato pancake that is literally just a quarter of a potato thinly shredded and fried. The egg soufflé is weirdly seasoned (tasted sweet) and has random raw cherry tomatoes on top instead of green onions. The banchans are also served in tiny, one bite proportions, as well as void of the traditional varieties that might have had slightly higher cost ingredients. The place had practically no customers during the 6.00 – 7.00 pm when we were there. I hate to write a review like this, but I simply don’t understand how a k barbecue place like this can thrive here in Boston and have such relatively good reviews. The beef was okay but overcooked each time. The pork jowl gutted my throat as I was swallowing it down. Do you locals have no idea what actually good Korean food taste like and how much you should be paying for them?

What an amazing place an experience. Not a single thing could change to make it better.
Every dish was amazing. Staff absolutely wonderful… And the owners wete here the night we stopped by. This was our first visit and they gladly explained the entire process and had wonderful recommendations!

Seems like this place needs its own star ⭐

Can not wait to go back !

We have dined at Naksan quite a few times. The food here is fairly consistent and pretty good for Korean bbq. It’s probably the most similar to what you would get in Seoul in terms of flavors. However, the quality of meats and cookery still can’t compare. But, we live in Boston and don’t have many other good options.

The marinated pork belly was very tasty with a bit of the salt. The marinated short ribs had good flavor but chewy. The japchae is always very good here. The seafood pajeon was again rubbery and not crispy. We will stop ordering that from now on. We have had good egg soufflés here previously but this time it was overcooked. The banchans are quite good though very small portions, but you can always ask for refills. I find their kimchi to be too sour for our taste.

Service is efficient although difficult to flag servers down during busy dinner hours. We find the restaurant too dark and music too loud for our liking. It’s always cold inside the restaurant during summer and winter. Good thing the grill provides needed warmth. Valet parking is helpful since finding street parking is difficult but adds $20 to the tab. Price is on the high side but overall we can always count on a decent meal here.

Went for 22nd bday!! Ordered traditional beef short ribs and thinly sliced pork belly with 계란찜 (egg soufflé) my fav. Beef and pork were both good. Also ordered 육회 (beef tartare) WHICH HAS KOREAN PEAR JUST LIKE IN KOREAA atmosphere is also similar to what I was used to in Korea. Staff was sweet ^^ I’m still waiting for my free soju…

Came here for a family dinner on a busy Friday night. The food and service were very good. The pig feet was average but the cold noodle was very good. The price was a bit high compared to other Korean places in Boston.

The BBQ itself was acceptable, nothing particularly impressive but fine overall.

Unfortunately, the service was extremely poor and disappointing. There were four of us dining, and after the meat was grilled within about 20 minutes, the service staff completely disappeared. No follow-up, no checking in, no assistance at all.

For a BBQ restaurant, service is a major part of the experience, and this level of inattentiveness was truly frustrating. Very disappointing overall.

We love this place, and totally worth the money. Great, authentic food. I like that they grill meat for me. (Because who wants to spend $100+ to make your own food? This is my current go-to Korean BBQ.

As other reviews have mentioned, the food is quality but portions are very small for the price. I dined here with one other person and we got the pork belly and wagu steak. The meats were delicious and cooked perfectly. The staff were very accommodating of my peanut allergy which I appreciated. After eating all of the meat and multiple sides, I left the meal still feeling hungry and ended up eating more food at home. Not ideal when you’ve just spent $50 per person for a restaurant meal.

Naksan Korean BBQ is an excellent spot for high-quality Korean barbecue. The meat and ingredients are top-notch — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared.
The staff is very friendly and attentive, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.
We ordered the BBQ set size L, and it was more than enough for four people.
It’s a great place to come with family — fun, relaxed, and delicious. Highly recommended if you’re looking for authentic Korean BBQ in a welcoming setting!

Naksan BBQ was incredible! The beef combo for two, prime rib, and beef tartare were all top quality, and the portions were perfect. The kimchi jjigae, doenjang jjigae, and steamed egg tasted like home, and the cold noodles were a refreshing finish.
Amazing food, impeccable service, and great vibes — perfect for first-time KBBQ or anyone craving authentic Korean food. Highly recommend!
