For a quick weekday meal (somewhere between lunch and dinner), I returned to Woojeon. This time, I…read moreordered the Soondaeguk (blood sausage stew, $15.99), received my number, waited 5 minutes, and receiving order. The stew itself was quite packed with offal and blood sausage, and even a few pieces of lung. It also arrived piping hot. The broth, however, proved underwhelming. While spicy, it lacked depth of flavor. The entree came with a bowl of rice, bean sprouts, kimchi, and roasted seaweed laver. I surprisingly liked the kimchi. It was savory and not too tangy. Consider it's a food court, I won't penalize the presentation or diminutive banchan size too much. However, the stock needs work.

Banchan is broth, kimchi, bean sprouts and roasted seaweed - the kimchi was pretty good, wished the bean sprouts had more flavor. I came around 4:30pm so there were plenty of tables available. The guy who took my order was pretty quiet and handed me a pager. It went off about 15 mins after my order. Would definitely return to get my bibimbap fix!

Galbi itself was pretty good, a touch chewy, decent flavor but not worth the extra cost in my opinion. Banchan was alright, the kimchi was very liquidy and spattered on my shirt and was on the extra sour side. Service was fast and polite and the space was clean. Would return for more dolsot in the future.

I liked that the restaurant gave side dishes- some places don't automatically give you them. There was a decent amount of seafood in the broth, and I liked the spice level. My main complaint is that I felt there should be more sauce for the jjajangmyeon, as the noodles were barely covered after we mixed it. Overall, this is a solid place with a lot of different options. It's a casual spot with a lot of people ordering takeout, and the workers are very friendly as well. I would definitely come back!

We had the chicken gangjeong half/half (hahaha flavor/ soy garlic). I have had a lot of korean fried chicken, and this ranks among the worst. The chicken didn't have the crisp you would expect from korean fried chicken. It was leaning towards the soggier side. What was even worse was that the soy garlic and the hahaha flavors did nothing for us. The flavors were bland and just straight up sweet. The soy garlic didn't have the punch of garlic or the umami and saltiness of the soy sauce. The hahaha flavor was simultaneously incomprehensible and unsatisfying. All in all, this place was a disappointment.

While I appreciated small touches with being able to put your jackets in a plastic bag under your seat, everything else fell a bit short. The quality of the meats and produce was a bit disappointing. The onion our server used to flavor and start our grill with looked dry, the pumpkin seemed to have a bit of frost as though it were frozen, and the overall quality of the meat was a bit lackluster. Even towards the end of our meal, even when our server told us the meat was ready, a couple of pieces were still raw. The banchan was not bad and the bibim naengmyeon we had was probably the best part of our meal. Sadly I don't think we'll be back based on our experience.

Meats were delicious and cooked great! Definitely on the pricier side but worth the splurge for a nice date or meal with friends. Parking can be a doozy but if you circle the block there is street parking on the opposite street. Would definitely go back, this is Boston's best upscale-esque kbbq that I have had. Overall an 8 or 9/10, only deducting points because I do feel the price is a bit much in comparison to other restaurants that offer the same (but I also understand this is the only place bringing this kind of service in Boston atm) signed, a KBBQ fanatic

Food (1.5/2): Unfortunately, since this was quite a while…read moreago, I had forgotten what I've ordered. One that I remember is the Wafu Steak. What I can remember is that all the food had great visual appeal. Additionally, the flavors from the main ingredient, sauce, and condiments were artfully balanced. I felt that none of the ingredients in the dishes I ordered were decorative. My only minor disappointment is the small portion (though I get that US portions are typically giant...). Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): Great service even if there was only 1-2 waiters. Wait-time is decent. Cleanliness is impeccable. One minor negative is the positioning of some of the table that sees the fan above them--the fan sits just below the light bulb and creates a "strobe-light" effect at night. This was incredibly disturbing for me and I had to face diagonally downwards most of the time to avoid the flickering at the top-corner of my eyes. Price (0.5/1): As much as I love what they've created, I just feel the price for the portion we receive is on the expensive side. Rounded to 4 because I love the place.

There were barely any toppings, the ground beef that cost extra to get was cold and hard, and even though the rice came in a heated serving pot, there somehow weren't any crispy parts. Not worth it for $17. The army soup hot pot that we got to share was definitely better in taste and was properly heated up, but at $37 for not very high quality ingredients (ramen, sausage, spam, and gochujang sauce), it was also a disappointment for our wallets. The vibe of the place make it seem totally capable of being a great hangout spot (round tables, k-pop concerts playing on TVs on one wall). I just wish the quality of food could improve to match the price.

We had an option of a high top table or the bar, and went with the table with end. The ban chan was a standout. We had the spinach (?), burdoock, and kimchi. You could definitely tell that everything was fresh, nothing store bought that had been sitting around for a couple days or was simply heated up--which is my experience elsewhere for appetizers in china town area. The mackerel was very substantive, and well cooked. I was less of a fan of the jap chae, a little too oily for me. The service was above average and smart, you felt like you were in a place that people really loved working at. Would definitely come back again.
