interesting service

I used to come here all the time during my last years of college. I used to love it here. UNTIL today, I came to Boston to visit friends, and stopped by. I’m well over 21, but my ID expired a few days ago and I haven’t been anle to renew it. I understand they can’t accept it, however, when trying to discuss with the employee to check if they could accept my foreign ID or a picture of my passport, they would not even let me talk and were super condescending and arrogant. She could have just been normal about it instead of treating us like we were kids with fake IDs. I ended up going back home to get my physical passport. My friends stayed. Nearly 30 minutes after, when I returned, they still had not brought my friends drinks, but came to my table right away to see my ID. From there, we waited 15 minutes without even water at the table, trying to call waiters that would come and serve other tables and ignore us just to ask for the drinks again. Extremely petty. I just asked if there was any issues, to which I didn’t even get a response or at least concern from the employee. NEVER coming back and for sure telling everyone to not either. Just another business who got more notorious and now treats customers like trash.

Too much salt and broken glass. Time to replace your water glass

I've heard some decent things about this place, so I decided to swing by for a quick bite. The atmosphere is lively, with K-pop music filling the air and videos playing on the TVs. We opted for some quick bites, and while they were alright, if you're seeking a more immersive experience, there are better Korean spots out there. This place seems more geared towards drinks, offering your typical soju and cocktails alongside light snacks.

I came here with a few friends on a Friday night. It was packed but we were able to get a table immediately. A solid hangout spot if you're looking for Korean food and in the mood to drink beer and soju. We got a beer tower and a bottle of soju - you can't pick the brand of beer but it wasn't bad. We got a kimchi pancake, army stew, and cheese corn. Everything was pretty good and we all left full. I would have liked if service was a little more attentive, although I understand that it was super busy and I didn't feel rushed at all, so it didn't bother me too much.

Pretty standard Korean and drinking place. They have K-pop playing pretty loudly so it's a good weekend place with friends.

Went to this korean restaurant with a friend on Thursday evening. It wasnt very busy and our service was quick! The restaurant had k pop music videos playing constantly which added to the quirky but fun vibe of the place. We ordered a LOT of food, Toekbokki, bibimbap, regular fied chicken, soy sauce fried chicken snd seafood scallion kimchi pancakes. Between the two fried chickens I enjoyed the soy sauce more. The toekbokki was to die for, we got it with extra cheese. It was not too spicy. I highly recommend this place. Plenty of street parking and also a large cvs parking lot down the road if you are driving!

We walked in at 12:02 and they told us the kitchen was closing at 12:15. The restaurant is open until 1am. This is while a waiter was taking an order at another table.

Aesthetic of the place is very nice, cozy, and chill. Great songs and so many TVs to easily see the MV from any seat. All staff were very nice and friendly and very helpful when I had a specific request that was kind of troublesome on their part, so I thank them for that. The food was great and the drinks were very yummy as well!
