2/5

The food was some of the most bland Korean I’ve ever had. We ordered the Tteokbokki with cheese, Kimchi Pancakes, and Kimchi Jjigae and not one thing was tasty. The tteokbooki was the best, but it was mostly due to the cheese. It didn’t have much of a gochujang flavor at all and wasn’t even spicy. The pancakes were incredibly bland and flavorless, without any kimchi flavor at all. To be honest, the kimchi jjigae smelt appealing and I did not personally have any. The service was absolutely fine, as is the atmosphere, but unfortunately the food was just completely lacking. I really can’t recommend it.

We have been here many times over the past ten years. However, in the takeout order we brought back home today, there was a dead beetle (or cockroach? inside the soup. It was disgusting we all threw up our foods and are reporting this to the division of health inspections. This restaurant has gone down in quality and clearly someone is not maintaining the kitchen in a reasonably clean and healthy manner. We will not be returning here in the foreseeable future. This was unacceptable. We pray that we don’t get sick and that others also stay safe.

It's a very busy place, so there was a 20 minute wait and the whole time we were there they were rushing us to get out. They would flip our meat for us even though we said we could grill ourselves, and they used the same tongs to flip raw and cooked meat and didn't ask, which was risky considering cross-contamination. The food itself was alright but the experience itself was tainted by the feeling that they wanted us out of there.

This used to be the goto standard for kbbq around Boston, but it appears Koreana has become a shell of its former self. Floors were extremely sticky on every step once in restaurant and meat quality was questionable and overpriced. Props to the attentive and caring servers. Book a table now

2/5

Over priced and bland food. 15 dollars for scallion pancakes, 36 dollars for a 1 beef bbq meat, also each bbq table requires a 2x order minimum. Also there is no combo bbq dinners for a table so be prepared to spend too much and not get everything you want.

Can be a quite place. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the bulgogi. And the side dishes were classic. I was quite full. Service was good just was sad that didn't trust us to cook and cut the meat. I haven't been able to do that in America.

We had Korean BBQ, cold noodles as well as makgeolli which is korean rice wine. The quality of the food was amazing! All parties have to be there if you want seated. You are allowed to refill the side dishes once.

It was okay. The meats weren’t the most flavorful so I prolly won’t be back. It was also very expensive for the quality. I love kbbq but wasn’t blown away by this. I think there are some better spots. Book a table now

Good visuals but everything is so blend. Don't get the tofu soup, not salty nor seafood-ie. bbq is somewhat same price as any korean bbq, $30 per plate and 2 plate minimum to start.
