we came here for lunch, toughest part is parking, but we lucked out and had a front door parking space. the pork belly dish was a bit too much fat. the tofu soup was very delicious. they have so much tofu in the soup which made it even better if you like tofu. they gave us a good amount of noodles. the noodles was really good and flavorful.

Amazing food and staff! Our family loves the BBQ chicken, tofu soup and bulgogi. The glass noodle soup is also yummy. The bonchon (complementary small plates) are fantastic. Staff is super friendly. Warm environment.

Totally amazing soup! I also think they have the best kimchi pancake and seafood pancake around! This is a must go to restaurant if you like Korean food (and even if you don’t).

Wanted to try Korean food in Boston, saw this had highest reviews. Nonetheless, was super disappointed.- ordered the “combo” with “large tofu soup and medium grilled eel” for like $35 only to find out that the combo doesn’t exist and they gave me two small things (imagine u order a large Big Mac and medium fry and get a small happy meal)- the seafood pancake had one piece of squid, no other seafood besides that- my girlfriend ordered seafood and beef soondubu; consisted of two small little shrimps that clearly was bad and smelled weird, and and clam filled with sand. Soup had a fishy taste.- my kimchi beef stew was very bland- the waitress only attended to the table next to us and completely ignored us unless we wavedOverall, would not go again. Had high expectations as we thought city food was better but obviously not.

Probably the best tofu soup (kimchi and oyster) I've ever had. They also have amazing seafood and scallion pancakes! Authentic and a must got to restaurant!

Stopped by here for a casual lunch with friends. The place is pretty unassuming and small. Service was okay, but they forgot the sprite my friend ordered (but maybe we had to grab the can ourself? Not sure). We each got our own dishes-- the bulgogi clay pot, galbi claypot, bulgogi noodle soup, shrimp shumai, and beef and calamari tofu soup. Mine was the galbi-- I the meat was sweet and tender. Definitely not for those who don't like sweet and savory. The whole dish was pretty oily, but somehow the rice didn't crisp up (I let the rice sit to do so) like it normally should with stone pots. My friend's clay pot rice also didn't crisp up :( The veggies were kinda lackluster, just some lettuce and slices of carrot and radish. I will say that they gave a lot of meat, and to a good ratio of rice. The portion was definitely shareable between two people if you don't have a big appetite. My friends had mixed reviews about their food. Soondubu had pleasant remarks. The shumai and bulgogi noodle soup were reported to be bland (we all agreed about the shumai). This restaurant is good if you want a quick and filling fix for Korean food, but not among the best Korean food I've had.

I think this place is fine if you want tofu soup. The seafood pancake was a bit burnt and the tteokbokki was overcooked and tasted only spicy, no other flavor. My friends tofu soup was fine though and the servers were great.

My daughter took my husband and I to this wonderful place and the soup was wonderful! The staff is very helpful! Uber or if you live close walk! We drove and luckily found a space to park. The place is small but it is so worth getting the Tofu soup. The other items are so well prepared!

Lovely staff members! I always got seated quickly and food was very timely! I've only gotten the tofu soup but uuuf so good every time

I've been on the hunt for some great Kimchi jjigae and I gotta say this place has some insane soup. I got the spicy level and it was so good!!! The kimchi pancakes were also great (not insane). The staff is nice and the place is charming.

Good food, inexpensive, good portions. The place is always crowded. Going on weekdays have a better chance for sitting. Hard to fine parking around that area.
