Kimchi Chigae is my go-to whenever I go to Little Pusan. I like that is fresh, and keeps boiling after it is served. Filling and satisfying. Chong have allowed me to call her "Unnie"/Older Sister. A "friendship" we have established from my frequent visit.

Delicious family style Korean food, my favorite food to get through the cold winter. Chong makes everything herself and you can tell she gives herself to get cooking. Highly recommended.

Loved it. Great food, super service. Auntie home cooking.
In an age where people are waking up to diversity, it is time to support business like Little Pusan. Like China Town or the North End, it provides you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in a different culture food-wise. For a small town, Maynard is fortunate in that respect giving you several options to eat your way across the globe!Food-wise...only the best ingredients extremely well prepared! Service-wise...what can I say other than polite, professional and patient I am a slow eater.Why the 4 in atmosphere (almost lovingly gave it a 3)...you will not feel like you are in the lap of luxury...but like great restaurants such as the "No Name" it simply adds to the charm!Being a foodie...eating in 49 of the 50 states I would compare this to the Lemon Chicken I had at tge Golden Dragon, San Francisco.

I ordered two bibimbaps and a chigae for pickup. The order came out to be 50$+ and the pork bibimbap had ONLY 3-4 pieces of pork in the ENTIRE bowl. The beef bibimbap had around 5 pieces. The pork chigae also only has two pieces of meat and the tofu was rough. The soup flavor was simply not good. I would not recommend coming here.

Yummy! Service can be slow sometimes, but worth the wait. The owner makes the experience very personal and it’s a treat to eat there.

Not impressed. Oil seemed rancid and food was not good. Would not have minded how expensive it was if it had delivered in flavor. Would not recommend.

They serve the entrees on on a sizzling cast iron, wildly good food.

This place is amazing- it's a hidden gem with amazing authentic Korean food, and it happens to be my favorite spot in Maynard. From fantastic appetizers, to delicious and filling entrés, paired with a variety of yummy teas and soups, there is so much to explore on the menu. The food is healthy, MSG-free, non-fattening, with many vegetarian options. The staff is great, the owner is charming and we love her. You may often hear her say "I gave you a little too much!", the portion size and quality for the price is great. If you'd like to explore new cultural food in a calm environment, this is the place.
Never had such a bad experience! My husband and I went for lunch, my husband ordered a side, I was not very hungry and ordered a salad. The boss has a bad attitude? and said I should go for fast food, there is a restaurant. So we left the restaurant.

The food is very good and authentically Korean. The service can be quite slow on a busy Saturday night. The restaurant is basically a one-woman show. She takes the orders, cooks the meals and serves the tables. Patience will be rewarded!

Run by an old woman. Endorsed by many including my husband but for some reason, I didn't like the food. Apparently the ramen was too good but I am not a fan of ramen. The ma pho tofu was too dry for me and so didn't enjoy much.

Little Pusan is the best! Friendly service if you like it casual and home-like. It's like having your your auntie serving you a delicious meal. The vegetarian options are great. The hot bowl bimbim bop is the best!
