Great atmosphere, clean, and tasty food. Food is pretty authentic Korean. They give you a free sample of their pumpkin drink and a piece of kimbap while you choose menu. Seafood nooroongi was so good, soothing and perfect for chilly weather – a highly recommend. Also galbi was very good. The server was polite and helpful. They also get you to experience Korean coffee machine with 100 won when you head out. Pretty cool. Definitely put this restaurant on the list of places I want to take my visitors to Boston. Parking can be very tricky in the area though. Would recommend transit (there is Green line nearby and several bus stations) or Uber/Lyft. However our Lyft driver could not stop in front of the restaurant for some reason so had to wait on the other side of the road. FYI if you are planning to Uber/Lyft to the place. Busy street but inside is pretty well insulated noise-wise and they played classic Korean ballads. Bathrooms were also clean and tucked inside. Would recommend. Apparently some Korean celebrities ate here too.

Cute inside. The servers were incredibly helpful and kind. We sampled a lot from the tapas and got some specialties as well. The standouts were the pork belly, the mung bean pancake, and the kalbi jjim. The banchan is complimentary!

Food is a little overrated. Scallop shrimp skewers were nothing special. The bon chon was good. The galbi jjim was way too sweet. But the meat was very tender. Drinks were just ok. Overall, experience was good, but food is just ok. Worth a try, maybe not necessarily worth the cost for constant repeats.

We came here with a reservation for dinner at 6:15 on a Saturday and we were promptly seated. The staff (including our server, Kevin, who was awesome) is incredibly friendly and helpful and made our time here very enjoyable! This Korean BBQ tapas joint has a cool lounge-like decor on the inside. We were provided a complimentary cinnamon drink as we sat down and it was excellent. We put in a few orders and the food started coming out shortly thereafter. The standouts for us were the complimentary bonchan, mung bean pancakes, spicy stir-fried Korean sausage, and the Army stew. The spicy Korean sausage was exceptional and my personal favorite! It has a nice level of spiciness to it and the texture and flavor of the sausage, marinade, and veggies were incredible! I loved the Army stew as well, the ramen noodles, spam, and broth hit the spot! Definitely recommend coming here to try this place out!

I came here in Boston to just tour around but I did not except to run into this AMAZING place. When I first opened the doors I already knew this was going to be my regular spot. First the workers here are super nice and super quick at work. Second the food here is amazing. They gave welcome food and drinks, which I did not expect. It is very delicious and very nicely plated and served. Also the cocktails here are so yummy, it is decorated beautifully. Lastly this place is decorated so nicely. I visited this museum and it gave off the same vibes. Every inch and corner is gorgeous, and the bathroom is very spacious and smells nice. Overall, this place is amazing and I definetly recommend to come this restaurant.

We tried the food for the very first time. The service was top notch, the food delicious. At such standard I was hoping to see more patrons as it should be.
We ordered mung bean pancake, Kalbi Jjim, spicy sausage and fried egg plants. Super delicious through its high quality food.
Before we left they offered us free coffee and hot chocolate which I think was smart and sweet.
Hope more people would discover this restaurant like we did.

We came in very late after a movie, and we just wanted a little snack, and the staff was very nice and welcoming! We love Korean food and I was pleasantly surprised to find non-standard Americanized items on the menu. I got Spicy pig feet, and my husband got shrimp and we shared Salmon sashimi! Everything was amazing, and the staff brought out complementary Kimbap and juice samples. Everything was flawless! Definitely will be back!

Overall a fantastic experience!

Hats off to the staff, it was top notch service rivaling that of a fine dining restaurant but with fair prices and generous portions.

We received a pleasant surprise of complimentary kimbap and a wonderful cinnamon tea, setting the tone for the whole afternoon.

The Kimchi Odeng, Pork belly, Raw marinated crab and braised Galbi were all phenomenal, with the Galbi receiving a special table side carving. The cocktails were also excellent, sweet but refreshing and really pairs with the intense flavor of the main dishes.

I’m very pleased with my dinner and is a one of a kind place in Boston, a must try!

Amazing service, amazing vibes and on top of all, amazing food!!! Everything we tried was full of flavor, and well presented. I particularly really enjoyed the spare ribs and tofu soup – will be perfect for the upcoming winter. The servers were very attentive to our big group, and food came out really fast as well. I would definitely come back here as they have a big and innovative menu

P/S: the sign is small but don’t give up, you will find your way there!
