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.

A little expensive, but the quality and quantity are worth it!
This restaurant is between Cafe Weekend and Mr. Music.
This is on Harvard Ave, so you don’t need me to tell you that parking can be very difficult with the busy roads and high foot traffic. It is best for you to try your luck on Commonwealth Ave.
Inside is very spacious. Lots of tables, and you’re not sitting super close with tables around you. Interestingly it seems the restaurant is split between Korean BBQ and non BBQ. This was perfect for my wife and I because we wanted non-BBQ. I don’t think there was any outstanding decorations, but it’s also not something I care about when I just want a nice, filling meal.
Our server was very polite and accommodating. She checked up on us regularly and we were never left waiting for attention.
Bulgogi Tukbokki – very good! the rice cakes were cooked perfectly, the marinated rib-eye were good, and the sauce was great. I think the heat was perfect for people like my wife and I who can only handle just a little bit of heat with our food.
Kimchi Jae Yook Tofu – I’m actually not a big fan of Kimchi, so I was going out of my comfort zone to order this. I’m really glad I did, because this dish was awesome. Big, hot clay dish with a small mountain of kimchi, DELICIOUS pork loins, and 4 impressively large pieces of tofu blocking each corner creating a wonderful, almost threatening dish.
Tang Soo Yook (pork) – I’m not totally sure how to feel about this one. On one hand, the portion size is enormous. I think 2 starving people would be happy eating this with no other food. The pork was perfectly cooked – light, airy crispy like you would expect from Korean Fried Chicken. The sweet and sour sauce was a little too strong for my palate, especially as we were becoming too full. Additionally, the sauce had a really bizarre texture – it was borderline gelatinous – similar to those rubber sticky hands that you would get from an old 25 cents toy dispenser. As you pulled up a piece of meat, the sauce would come with it instead of dripping.
Overall impressions? I spent a lot of money here, but I am totally satisfied by what I got. Generous portions, and delicious food.
This place is the complete opposite of our awful experience with Somaek a few nights ago in Boston Commons.

I’ve been going to Korean Garden for several years now, and their service and experience never disappoints.
There isn’t much music that plays at the restaurant, but the restaurant isn’t too loud. The tables are nice and there is a big walking space to move around.
The service is quick and good. They exchange the water bottles quite quickly, and the food comes out pretty fast.
The prices for the food is decently priced. The Korean BBQ does run a bit on the expensive side if you are a big eater, but the tteokbokki and appetizers are reasonably priced, even lower than other restaurants. The quality of the food is pretty good, and tastes quite well with the banchan. I would recommend the hot pot bibimbap, it isn’t too hot when it arrives at the table but keeps the food warm, and it can form scorched rice at the bottom of the pot when done. The portion sizes for the korean bbq is good for a party of around 4-5.
A majority of the tables are suited for parties of 4-6, I probably wouldn’t come here with a party larger than 8.

I just finished my Bibimbap and it was exceptional. Every bite was full of bold, balanced flavors that made the whole dish come alive—it truly hit the spot. The ingredients were fresh, well-prepared, and thoughtfully combined. I’ve dined in before and always appreciated the warm, welcoming staff and their commitment to authentic Korean cuisine. This was my first time ordering online, and the quality remained just as impressive. I also really appreciate the banchan that comes with the meal—it’s such a thoughtful, delicious touch that elevates the entire experience. A solid 10/10—I’ll definitely be ordering again.

Ordered scallion pancake and Cold buckwheat noodles in beef broth (please forgive me for not remembering their Korean names)
It was nice, especially based on the fact that most stores in Metro Boston does not serve the cold buckwheat noodles. It came with the sauces of mustard and spicy sauce w. white vinegar and a scissor for u to cut the noodle. It was my first time eating it in United States and it was amazing.
Service was great and they ask you if things are good constantly. Atmosphere is good in a nostalgic Korean decoration of the house.
The only problem is that it is kind of overpriced. Try not to order the added egg option since u get half an egg for 2$, although under the current egg price it was fine.

My favorite spot in Boston for Korean comfort food.
For the past few years, I’ve been trying to find a reliable spot for Korean comfort food. Early last year, I finally settled on this place and have been ordering from here at least once a month.
This isn’t the place for the most extraordinary Korean cuisine you’ll ever experience, but it reliably satisfies cravings with just the right balance of spices and authentic flavors. Although they specialize in Korean BBQ, I find myself drawn more to their Garden Specials and soup-based entrées. The Gopchang Bokeum and Kimchi Stew are some of my favorites. These dishes capture the essence of Korean cooking with well-balanced spice levels and rich, satisfying sauces.
The portions are also quite generous for the price, so if you’re looking for a good value Korean comfort meal, this is the place to go.

Hands down, one of the best Korean BBQ spots I’ve been to! The staff was friendly and really attentive. The food was amazing, and the side dishes were delicious with a good amount.
We had Korean BBQ, pancakes, and chicken wings. The pancake was a little oily, but honestly, everything else was great. Overall, a fantastic experience. I’d definitely come back again!

I have to comment on the portion and price. This is not a sophisticated restaurant, yet the price is outrageous. On a delievery, I paid $17.99 for a ddukboki that looked like a leftover. It had exactly 10 rice cakes. The spicy pork was $33.99 but would have been half the price elsewhere. At least the food is not terrible, but it’s “ok” at best.

Very good! Good service! The only confusion was that too many wait staff were cooking our meat for us. Just when one turned the meat over , the next one came right after to turn it over. Cross contamination was a little of a worry. Also with our shellfish allergy, one person told us there was shrimp in the kimchi but another said they weren’t sure. Other than that though the food was very good. Very nice service.

My friends and I came to the Korean Garden last night to celebrate my birthday, and we had an unforgettable experience! I have never been to a Korean BBQ restaurant before, but this one is the whole works — it has the grill built into the table should you choose to order the meat you cook yourself on the table. We ordered a group combo — Combo A I believe — that was more than enough for six of us to eat! It included soups, a plethora of delicious sides, and of course the meat you cook yourself. We also ordered some soju and hot sake. I really cannot emphasize how delicious the food was; every single item on the table was scrumptious. The experience of cooking the meats ourselves was genuinely so much fun. I also just want to highlight how kind the staff was to us. I unfortunately did not get our server’s name but he was a younger guy with bleached hair; he took good care of us, was very friendly, and made sure all of our needs were met. An older gentleman who I assume was a manager or the owner of the restaurant checked in on us a few times as well and was also notably kind, helpful, and gracious. Overall we had a memorable experience and I was happy I chose to celebrate my birthday here. They really made it special. I can’t comment on whether or not they do anything specific for birthdays because we forgot to tell them that it was the occasion but the service was fantastic regardless. Thanks y’all! We’ll be back for sure. ❤️
