    Coreanos Bowl
    Lauren G.

    Wish I could give it more than 5 stars!!! We got the coreanos bowl, chicken poppers, and kimchi quesadilla. The quesadilla was light on cheese but as that is not a usual ingredient in Asian food, it was probably better that way. The poppers were super crispy with a variety of sauces that complemented each other. The coreanos bowl with short rib was tender and flavorful and the sauces added a nice creaminess to the bowl. I will definitely be returning!

    Coreanos Bowl with chicken

    Came here for a quick dinner. I got the coreanos bowl with chicken. The staff was very friendly and the food came out very quick. The place has cozy vibes and was able to find seating. The bowl tasted amazing. It was very saucy and creamy blending the 2 cuisines together. I do wish it had a little bit more spicy but overall the flavor was still pretty good.

    Solid Korean lunch spot with some Mexican fusion in their quesadilla and taco menu items. Fun mix of cuisines in my opinion. It's a fast casual spot with quick service. Seating is somewhat limited with a few high top tables but we still managed to get a spot even around lunchtime. We ordered the Tteokbokki with ramen noodles as well as the shrimp fried rice. I thought both were good but not best I've ever had. The tteokbokki was pretty sweet for my taste but that's just personal preference. Centrally located in Allston!

    Just tried their K-Rice Bowl with Fried Eggs and a box of their signature Korean Fried Chicken, and I'm genuinely impressed. The rice bowl was rich, savory, and beautifully balanced--topped with perfectly cooked sunny-side-up eggs and a drizzle of creamy, mildly spicy sauce that brought everything together. Comfort food at its best. The fried chicken? Unreal. Extra crispy on the outside, juicy inside, with a sticky-sweet glaze and fresh green onions adding that perfect Korean touch. Flavor-packed and addictive. Fast service, generous portions, and flavors that hit all the right notes. If you're craving Korean fusion done right, Coreano is a must.

    I was really craving Korean fried chicken but it didn't have a crunch!! It definitely does the job of fast Korean food though and sometimes that's what you need - a Korean quesadilla, taco, cheesy kimchi fries, etc. Prices are reasonable. Limited seating inside but was easy to find a spot on a weekday night. Plenty of people stopping in and out (30 min dining limit) and getting take out.

    We went to Coreanos for a Sunday lunch, but I have eaten here multiple times before. It is Korean-Mexican fusion, and to me, this is fusion done right! - Coreanos bowl: The star of the meal. It came in a foil bowl, packed with saucy rice and bits of meat/veggies (onions and carrots), then topped with a perfect sunny-side-up egg. The protein I got was spicy pork, but you can also choose other proteins. The yolk was still runny enough to mix in and make everything extra rich. The portion was huge. Not too spicy. It also came with miso soup with a few bits of tofu and green onion in it. - Quesadilla: filled with beef and kimchi, with two different sauces drizzled all over (one creamy, one a little spicy). A lot of meat inside! Not too spicy. - Peach limeade: a very refreshing drink, but on the sweeter side, I wish it were a bit more sour. Overall: This felt like the ideal casual lunch: fast and filling. You order at a counter and they bring the food to you later, if you choose to dine in. There aren't too many seats. You need to fill your own water cup, and they have cold and warm water. The portions are generous and the food is pure comfort. Would definitely come back anytime I'm craving something saucy and satisfying.

    Honestly didn't think too much of it. But I was pleasantly surprised. Protein bowl was good. Good sauce and combination were great flavors. The quesadillas were awesome. Would 100% get again. The ttobokki was a little on the light side. Not as spicy as I like it.

    This Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant is a 10/10 find. Though there is not much space to eat inside, the food is absolutely delicious.

    Coreanos Bowl and Kimchi Quesadilla. Both just ok
    Rei M.

    I'm surprised by the great reviews on here because my wife and I were very disappointed. We got the kimchi quesadilla with spicy pork and the Coreanos bowl with beef bulgogi. Both were lacking in flavor. The pork in the quesadilla was dry and not even spicy. The beef in the bowl was sparse and mostly just sweet. I hesitate to try this place again. I think you could say this review warrants a 2.5 because it's below average, but I'm a softy and I tend to only eat at good restaurants, so they get a 3.

    Bulgogi Kimbap
    David S.

    We just happened to walk by and decided to try it out. We were vey impressed with the food! We ordered the Coreanos Bowl, fried chicken wings in sweet soy garlic sauce, and Bulgogi Kimbap. All excellent and very fresh. The sitting area was simple but clean. Service was nice. Will definitely come back again.

    Chicken Poppers
    Lizzie Y.

    Coreanos is yummy! Definitely gotten better over the years, in my opinion. I love getting the chicken poppers with either rice or fries & the kimchi fried rice with bulgogi. Great place to come to get take out; the food is always piping hot and has great flavor.

    Kimchi Fritas
    Katherine C.

    I used to go here years ago for their bulgogi tacos, quesadilla, and kimchi fries and have never been able to find the time to go. I went the other day to get kimchi fries before work and I am so glad I did! It's a tiny spot for mostly takeout and I ordered kimchi fries with bulgogi. When I went to pickup my food they told me they accidentally made it with spicy pork so I could either keep the pork or they would remake it. They were very nice about it but I was fine with spicy pork and they ended up giving me both spicy pork and beef. I don't know why I haven't gotten these more these past few years because they are still as amazing as they were years ago. Hot fries with kimchi, bulgogi, different sauces and a runny egg on top. One of the best meals and it was $13!

    Can they do bibimbap as a salad bowl instead of rice on the bottom?

    Do they have vegetarian options?

    They have tofu as an option for most things like the quesadilla and the tacos.

    How many wings come in each of the sizes?

    Small = 6 wings or 7 boneless. Large = 11 wings or 13 boneless.

    I was pleasantly surprised at the offerings, price, and quality. We had the samgyetang,…read moresullongtang, and kimbap. Most Americanized Korean places wouldn't have the first two, so we felt this was a good sign. Both the soups were legitimately neutral, and we were each given ramekins of rock salt. The sullongtang had ample pieces of beef, rice noodles (odd that they don't use vermicelli though) and was covered with green onions. Definitely not as good as something like LA's Han Bat Shul Long Tang, but that would be an unfair comparison! The samgyetang was decently sized, a good fresh meaty chicken. It was stuffed with rice (but not mochi rice), garlic, and dates. We left feeling content and accomplished.

Seafood cooked well not overdone. + spicy pork bulgogi (half size) different spicy pork then I'm used to, less salty / spicy oil based, more... marinated. Not sure how to describe it but it was plenty of protein and tender! I usually like it more spicy though. + Tangsu Yuk sweet and sour pork half size This was a hit for me, perfectly fried, juicy and had nice crunch and chew.

Though I haven't eaten a lot of korean food before, I felt this restaurant captures the essence of a traditional home cooked korean meal, with plates to share and perfectly personalized pots of their famous tofu soup.

I also absolutely loved their kimchi fried rice, so don't miss out on their additional menu items aside from their most popular offerings. Overall, I thought the food was tasty and satisfying, but otherwise there's not a specific thing that would continue to draw me back to this restaurant. The service was nice but mostly left us to ourselves and the food took a little while to come out. Unless you're really craving a korean tofu soup, I feel there's other restaurants in the area that serve up a little more variety and boldness in their flavors.

They started off with banchan, which were done super well. They were all eloquently balanced with flavor and freshness. It definitely felt more elevated compared to the banchan from other Korean establishments. The marinated shrimp, scallop and japchae came next. The japchae and scallop were my favorite bites of the night. Then there were 2 meat dishes, pancake and then finally the chicken soup. The chicken soup was also very good and had so much flavor. I would come back again for the banchan, japchae and chicken soup again. I do have a few criticisms on the meal. For a set meal, I don't think it was present in the most enjoyable order. The pancake came in right before the final dish of the chicken soup. The flavor and texture wasn't very good and felt so out of place as everything else was so well done. If it was brought way earlier, I wouldn't have a second thought on it. But it felt off putting being the second to last dish. Also we were a bit thrown off by just the pacing of everything. You would think that you eat the banchan along with your mains, but it more felt like you needed to finish them sooner given the limited table space. The last thing is the chicken soup is brought way too late into the meal. It's essentially the main part of the meal, but is brought in last after you finish most things. I'm a big guy and can eat a lot, but I was full by the time it came out. Despite what I wrote above, the food was amazing and so eloquently made and presented.

For the food, we got the tuna kimbap, Seoul toppoki, and bulgogi hot pot for two. Everything was SO good.

We ordered the cheese topokki (soft rice cake, fish cake, vegetable, & mozzarella in Korean spicy sauce) & the beef bulgogi bowl (fried marinated beef, vegetables, steamed rice & side of soup). The cheese topokki was just as good as we remembered - chewy, flavorful, comforting, & a little bit weird. The cheese was poorly distributed, but it was still very tasty. The beef bulgogi bowl was really underwhelming. Firstly, it was very little food. We were promised vegetables, but there were only a few scarce onions & zucchini pieces mixed in. It was also dry. It was devoid of moisture & sauce, so we added some from the fridge at home. The side of soup was a joke. It filled only about 2/3 of the container & looked so sad, we wondered if it was the sauce that we we so desperately needed. Nope, just a meager amount of watered down miso soup. So the conclusion - great topokki, sub-par bulgogi, non-existent soup.
