The servers were proactive in removing empty plates from the table, brought extra napkins without us asking, brought out the order sheet frequently without us asking, and checked in twice throughout our meal to see how we were doing. There was also a couple who came in for the first time and the wait staff took 15 minutes to patiently explain the difference between the kbbq and hotpot in Spanish and even gave recommendations. I'm not sure why they aren't more busy. Great service, plenty of parking, and good quality meats, and helpful staff.

This spot was perfect for this snowy day and it wasn't even packed which was nice. The service of filling up our dranks and giving us new papers to order more food was on point. They did a great job and I know there's probably better spots but this one is close and I don't like driving to Boston all the time lol. The meats were good and love the sauce bar. Anyhoo, if you're feeling hungry and want some AYCE bbq then be sure to give this place a try.

I went for lunch on a Tuesday. It wasn't packed, but had at a few people being served. My waitress was very nice and very quick. I ordered Mul-mandu which are steamed beef, pork and vegetable dumplings. They were extremely good and plentiful. I also ordered Dolsot Bibim Bob which is a hot stone pot rice with egg, meat, noodles and veggies and spicy sauce. It was also pretty good and very filling. With your food, you also get 6 side dishes to complement your food. To end it all, they offer you a cold ginger tea that hit the spot! The food was very affordable and I will be visiting again soon to try out other menu items.

The restaurant itself is quite homey, and it's an authentic Korean spot. I was a bit taken aback at the lack of banchan, though the woman who runs it is quite welcoming and offered small bites of (in her words) kimchi freshly made by her sister. She recommended that we order 1 dish per person, so we opted for five to share. As each item came out, we were quite frankly astonished at the small portion sizes. I don't think anyone would be full off of the beef bulgogi alone - especially when not accompanied by rice - and the kimchi fried rice was surprisingly small as well. On top of that, there was certainly sticker shock at the sky-high prices. The menus we found pictures of online were several years and dollars outdated, so here's what we paid for each item: scallion pancake ($20 for 8 slices), beef bulgogi ($32), kimchi fried rice ($20), bibimbap ($20), and kalguksu ($26). Despite the decent food, I wouldn't come back simply because of the price tag (for small quantities).

It's relatively small (only about ten seats) and at the time, only two people were working. It took a little bit for the food to come out (my dad was able to go order a coffee at Coffee Break Cafe next door and bring it back before our orders came out) but the portions were perfect for our lunch and my dad really enjoyed his! The noodles are dropped off on the bar for you to pick up and you grab your own chopsticks as well. We ordered the Chili Ramen (tonkotsu with chili oil on top) and the Shoyu Ramen, both with pork as the protein. The cook on the egg was great (nice and gooey in the center and the white was nice and soft) but it was a little cold and lacked flavor (could've been marinated for longer?). The pork was a nice cut of meat but despite being blowtorched it was a little chewy and lacked a bit of flavor also. The lack of marination on these toppings was helped by the fact that the broth was great and flavorful and if you ate them with the broth and noodles, it was satisfying! I think the broth was the best part; I tried both of them and enjoyed drinking the broth by itself even without eating the noodles with it. Overall, I thought the ramen was OK (the soup was the best part!) but for the price and portion I think this is a nice place to stop by for lunch! My dad enjoyed it a lot and was impressed by the authenticity for an American establishment.

This place…read morehas great Korean Chinese cuisine, but sometimes when we order something other than our usuals (regular jajangmyun, jambong, or ganpoonggi) it's not that good/as authentic, so we are hesitant to branch out from the basics. You also have to specify for the ganpoongi to be spicy, which is apparently strange according to my husband, who is Korean. This is not the best Korean Chinese cuisine we've had, but it's definitely good, and we are used to the really good places in NJ. This place is small and cozy, the service is friendly, and I only wish they delivered. Now that a bbq chicken has opened locally, all we need is a good kbbq spot and a place with gukbap in the area and we'll be set!

Have tried many of the Korean restaurants in Allston and this, K Restaurant, seems to outrank them all! As for service -- indeed you pay first, but was a bit confused about the server/front desk who pretty much tell you to order before seated (choosing your own table), take your order, serve you with all the food, etc -- literally she handles all the customer service stuff -- wondering why she did not appear at pleasant or smile at all. Don't get me wrong, fully aware of wide range of personalities -- some appear more excited and enthusiastic than others others -- even without the the usual tipping at the end, and especially with the tipping at the end. Here, of course you pay -- and finalize your tip or no time before being served with your food, but still the server did not appear to greet or show those standard pleasantries expected all common in America ... She wasn't rude or anything. It just seems like she's not happy being there. Any event, just some thoughts here. Would definitely be back. And do recommend this place to others who want delicious meal but just note the above.

Along with the sweet potato corn dog, we also got sweet chili bites and the ribbon fries and toppings. The service was fairly quick as we came after the lunch rush. The sweet potato on and breading was crispy and sweet from the sugar. The sweet chili chicken bites came with tebokki and we're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My favorite were the crispy ribbon fries, but they were definitely on the oily side. The eel and kimchi were great toppings that added different flavor profile to the dish. Overall, a great pick from the food court.

She complained that the tip wasn't high enough, but we still have to come all the way out to the car to the street to pick up the food. I told her I tipped for delivery and she's not even getting onto the porch. Then tonight I order a good $65-$70 worth of food. I miss their phone call and instead of knocking on my door they just leave and bring my food back to the restaurant and then when I called back, they get mad at me. Had to wait another 20 minutes to get my food. I called the restaurant to speak to somebody and they said a manager would call me back. No call back.

We started with the salt & pepper calamari and some dumplings--both were fresh, perfectly crispy, and packed with flavor. For mains, the fried rice was spot-on (flavorful and not greasy at all), and the torched tuna with truffle butter sauce was absolutely divine--such a creative fusion twist! The sushi options looked incredible too, and everything came out hot and beautifully presented. Portions are generous, and the quality really stands out compared to other places nearby. Drinks were solid as well if you're into cocktails. We'll definitely be back--it's become our go-to for date nights or when we crave something a little special. Highly recommend Karma if you're in the Andover area.
