Koreana

Reluctant to re-visit Koreana after a subpar dining experience here a few years back despite being minutes walking from home. Second time around, the place is still the same, but food improved. Especially the raw beef sashimi appetizer was very refreshing since it was sliced from frozen meat. Rice cake in my kimchi soup was a pleasant surprise since not many Korean restaurants do that, although I did wish there were more tofu in the soup. Also, the soup bowl with fuel to light up with to keep it hot and boiling was very nice as well. Response from other dining mates of their dishes were positive as well. I’d say the verdict has definitely changed for the better, and it’s worth trying if you live close by.

I would start off by saying the food tasted amazing. We got 4 different meat for the BBQ. I feel like they were definitely over priced compared to other places I have been too. Reason why I give it 2 star is because me and my partner felt very uncomfortable. We felt like 2 of the employees was “recording us” from the bar and laughing at us while we were eating (their phone camera was pointed to my table) Also my total came out to $145. It was recommended to give 18 percent which is about $24. I only brought $200 with me in cash. So I gave them a $15 tip. Total of $160. As we was walking out, the lady rolled her eyes and shakes her head. As I was reading her body language I can tell she wasn’t happy, I’m assuming because she didn’t get 18 percent tip. I believe $15 was still a good tip especially for only 2 people eating. The server came to flip the meat about 3 times. I was able to cook the bbq for the rest of the time. I’m not obligated to give a 18 percent tip. This is the reason why I am writing this review so other customers could know. THEY EXPECT A 18 percent tip. Overall I wouldn’t come here again. I do not recommend. I felt judged as I was eating and they felt privileged. It’s way to overpriced. They can kiss me a**.

Great Korean place. I was stunned to taste that amazing pork they served - one of the best seasoned pork I've ever had. Few good highlights: they have a big menu, so lot of choices. They have great ambience, ideal for corporate as well as personal meals. The service was quick, we did not need to wait for them to change the burners and the meat cooked in it. One small thing, which restaurants pay less attention to is, please try to keep restrooms ultra-clean, if not, it adds up to be a reason one might not perfectly like your place. Apart from that, I found everything was great and I highly recommend this place.

I've always seen this restaurant and never stopped by, but finally took the chance after a nice cold hike yesterday. Craving Korean BBQ and this place met my appetite for Korean food. I'll admit the menu is very big and it can be sort of difficult to navigate but it's manageable. The food was flavorful, although they didn't come out as hot as I'd expect, still very enjoyable and the size of the plates are enough to share between two people. Lastly the drinks were ok. I tried some of their Soju drinks and they were too sweet for my liking. The interior is comfortable and inviting. I recommend stopping by the place last night It felt like it was a local favorite, so that says a lot about the buissness

Great kbbq and service! Haven't been back in years but it was just as good. Get an order of bbq and apetizers to fill up. Meat is fresh. Got thin brisket chadeul baegi and pork belly samgyup. Bbq cooked over gas no coal. Servers help cook. Rice came w meat. Side dishes on point and refilled 👌 Except kimchi wasn't good this time. The soups appetizers and most things are good here can't go wrong. Quality korean restaurant in Cambridge w gas grills. Can have long lines but there is small seating to wait. Put ur name down at the front. Customer service was great. No bells on tables like korea but friendly servers. Full bar. Soju is 15 bucks. Same as most restaurants. Also have soju mixes. Only thing this place isn't near the T red line. There is a small parking lot and st parking.

Really good Jumullok Galbi and Sam Gyup Sal. They give really big pieces of meat, but it is very pricy. I liked most of the banchans they gave, but they limit the amount they refill to how much meat you order. The service could also be better, the staff were all very rushed. They don't prepare/cut the meat for you.

A great KBBQ location, super convenient for me to get to living in Central. The meats were great, especially loved the bulgogi! Also were able to accommodate both a vegetarian and someone who didn't eat pork or beef, which is phenomenal and honestly impressive. Definitely loved the seafood pancake and cheesy tteokbokki -- good Korean sides are where it's at! You might consider it overpriced for a KBBQ place is the only thing but I and family/friends loved it.
