Koreana: Authentic Korean BBQ and Japanese Cuisine in Cambridge, MA

Long time ago frequent visitor for dinner weekdays. Reminiscent of great 해물잡탕. Still taste good but my memory faint whereas there was lobster and crabs as ingredients. 갈비탕 good too. 반찬 very good. Service cordial and friendly.

The food was really good! I personally think this is one of the best Korean restaurants near Boston!! The Naengmyeon (냉면) was really good and the beef dumplings were so delicious . I really recommend trying this place! Apparently, this restaurant is one of the oldest Korean restaurants near the Boston area!! The staff were so kind and the place is clean.

I LOVE THIS PLACE it’s such a gem!!! The food is always DELICIOUS and so flavorful! The staff is also really nice and I love the decor inside. My husband I love this place so much we went 2 days straight back to back. It’s totally worth every penny and I would recommend this to anyone!! I can’t wait to go back again! Everything we have tried has been incredible. The only things I wouldn’t order again are the seafood scallion pancake and dumplings just because they’re fried and made my stomach upset. My husband and I HATE driving into Cambridge due to the limited parking, cyclists, and overall rude Cambridge residents, but we always make an exception for this place!!

Packed at 6pm on a Sunday night, but I dined solo so I got the last seat available! Service was a bit slow considering the full house but was still very friendly! I ordered: Yukhoe: Was so good and reminded me of Yukhoe back in Korea! Great portion size too (and they have a smaller size available). Chicken Teriyaki: A tad bit too sweet for my liking but the chicken was so juicy and paired perfectly with this rice. Perfect for comfort food anytime, anywhere

I have the dish with eel on rice, It's good but sweeter. I also have the dish like teriyaki chicken in hot plate also sweeter... Recommend to request lighter in sauce when ordering.

I really really enjoy all the foods here, I will recommend the Korean bbq, pork belly (no sause one) and beef bulgogi are all excellent, the small plates/dishes can be refill once without additional charges (vegetable as well). The most wonderful thing is that we do not have to cook by ourselves, it is hard for us to estimate the time for the meat, therefore, they cooked for us and we finally got the perfect meal time!!!! I was surprised that we only spent $35 for each person to get fantastic foods. Anyway I will recommend my friends come here and visit next time if there is chance:)

There wasn’t a single Korean — it was full of foreigners, and everyone seemed to be truly enjoying the food! Definitely a place that satisfies all tastes. Though… the bill was a bit of a surprise.

The plain outlook belies the neat and tidy inside. Went for the grill, tried both chicken and shrimp, and I had ordered the LA galbi as well but had the cook cook it for me so I could pack home. They do give you lettuce so you can eat it as a wrap, and helps you to cook on the grill (see video). Side dishes and the sauces were pretty authentic. Ssamjang (fermented soy paste that is mixed with other sauces for meat lettuce wraps) was a little different, more pale and liquidy. Didn't quite like that one. They do replenish the lettuce somewhat, but not the side dishes. The bowl of rice was good amount. The meat was marinated well. I had similar grilled chicken before but shrimp version was new to me. It was tasty and peeled well. The LA galbi was good too, but a little too little in terms of amount for the price (maybe the meat had shrink during cooking), so gave 4 for service. Lots of options on the menu in both appetizers and main dishes. The seafood pancake was quite thick and oily. Want to try other ones too, curious to see how authentic they are. They also don't have Korean desserts, unfortunately. So please plan accordingly. There is Hmart and Paris Barguette nearby (walking distance), FYI, if want something Korean for dessert as well.
