    Bulgoki
    Elias G.

    We live in the neighborhood and are regulars here, and are never dissatisfied. Contrast to what you might assume from the name, it's actually a Korean and Japanese restaurant. We got the vegetable dumplings, teriyaki tofu, and bulgoki (as we do frequently); we didn't order them this time, but the green bean fries are also a favorite. Service was friendly, and it was quiet and fairly relaxing for a Sunday dinner. We did sit on the "adult" side, in contrast to the kid side with fish tanks; it's usually louder on that side. It's worth explicitly mentioning that the consistency here is fabulous; every time we order we get exactly what we did the last time, and it's always good. We'll come back, and I definitely recommend it!

    delicious! hit the spot and was decently priced. the place was empty for our table of 6 which was good and the service was very fast. everyone enjoyed what they had!

    Good service. Quiet atmosphere. Good food and tasty sake, hot or cold! Only downside were the flies. It was a little distracting. They were on the walls and paintings. If you swatted them it made it worse. Other than that delicious. Maybe would return to sit at bar. They did have another side that looked like it was to serve larger crowds.

    Fish & Chips
    Annie C.

    We ordered sushi takeout from here previously and the fish is certainly fresh and delicious. They are very busy for indoor dining but it's worth it for the Ok Dol Bimbimbap in house!! Sashimi salad was good too. The fish and chips is done in the same manner as their sister restaurant evergreen and I would probably ask them to double fry the chips.

Seafood boil sounded good and this place was a few minutes away. During lunch time on a Saturday, we arrived and there was only one other party in the place. It was super quiet. We were seated promptly and provided some pop corn. The place has unique decor in that there is customer writing all over their walls! Our server was okay, and answered our questions and took our order. We went with the Snow crabs with green mussels. You get 1lb of each, versus their A/B/C platters which may contain less of some of what you want. It was fine as we were gonna spend over $60 and would get 1/2 lb of shrimp for free anyways. The seafood boil bag was ordered with their shaking sauce mild. It was not spicy at all, had really good flavor but definitely on the salty side, IMHO. It was still enjoyable. When you leave you'll be dying of thirst. The seafood was cooked well, with most of the snow crab legs able to crack open. There was just enough sauce for everything in the bag. I'd say it was a 7/10 rating. The fried calamari plate with sweet potato fries was okay. Nothing special, and definitely edible. I'd give this a 7/10 rating again. The lemon pepper wings were tiny, but at least girthy (given their size). Flavor was good and cooked perfectly and came out so hot and fresh. I'd give them a 7/10 rating, would be higher if the wings were even normal sized. Overall, it was a decent meal. It satisfied a craving. The restaurant is comfortable and clean. There was decent parking options outside on the street.

Honestly, everything was so tasty and flavorful, plus the portions were huge for a terrific price! I was so excited for my leftovers the next day. They were super accommodating and provided great recommendations as well. The pasta sauces were incredible -- my friend ate the bread with the sauce and said it was heavenly. Major shoutout for the great service provided by Jimmy as well, he was so friendly and caring! It made this meal feel extra homey. (He even packaged my pasta to go for me to make sure I didn't spill on my dress I was wearing). Definitely recommend giving this spot a try and supporting a small business!

    I have friends in Boston who have insisted that I get over to The Daily Catch in the North End…read more Oh. My. Word! This is one of those places that you remember forever. There are maybe five tables in the entire place, and you feel like you're sitting in the kitchen with the chef. A pro tip I've discovered is to arrive early for dinner--maybe around 4pm--to beat the long line that will grow outside. I cannot say enough about the freshness and quality of the food. Our group had a few small appetizers which were excellent, but the real treat was their daily swordfish special. I'm not quite sure how to describe it, other than "wow." So much flavor packed in this dish. Wine is served in regular plastic drink cups alongside fresh bread. You really do feel like you're sitting right in the middle of a great Italian kitchen. It should be noted that this is a cash-only establishment; so plan ahead. This spot is a Must Visit if you find yourself in Boston's North End.

Marathon Monday vibes all around town. We took a seat in the window nook. My lady loves squid ink pasta and it's different than Japanese style (doesn't stain your teeth haha). We ordered + fried calamari + mussels siciliano + aglio olio We started with the complimentary bread, with olive oil, crushed red peppers and Parmesan! The calamari was next (my must order anywhere i go to taste). Light batter fried (didn't just fall apart thankfully) nice light and crispy. The squid was fresh, not cooked rubbery and tasted great with the marinara sauce (nice hint of spice). Now i wish the portion was a tad bigger but it was yummy. The mussels is the ladies go to, for an appetizer. It came out HOT, with a lemon white wine garlic sauce. Super tasty, mussels definite shine through without the sauce/broth overpowering the natural flavor of the mussel. She finished that up quick and i had a taste myself and agree with her assessment haha. And finally the Aglio Olio, squid ink pasta with minced squid and garlic. This was a perfectly balanced dish, came out HOT be careful of the pan. The pasta and squid just melted together so well. The caramelized butter/garlic with bits of minced squid just had you scraping the pan at the end to make sure you inhale them. Great meal for two. Very satisfied. (Give us another couple ounces of fried calamari and it'd be perfect!)

First off: the food was outstanding. The kind of meal where everyone at the table were all raving about their food. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and fast considering the size of our group. Second: the staff deserves a medal. Not only were they friendly and efficient, but they also went above and beyond splitting checks for all 11 people individually without making us feel like we'd committed a felony. Anyone who has ever dined with a large group knows this alone is a five-star act of heroism. The ambiance was fun, energetic, and just the right amount of spunky.
