    My husband was walking past one day after work and saw the kbox sign up on the doors and the lights on. He said he exclaimed "is kbox now open?!" And one of the owners or someone close to the owner was outside at the time and overheard him and said there was a friends and family soft launch happening and he invited him to go inside to check it out. (Thank you! lol) He was able to get a plate that we were able to sample each thing. Everything was delicious- bone in and boneless wings, fried rice, fried dumplings, kimchi and chinese broccoli. I think some of these items will be on their menu at a later date but for now the fried chicken wings are. Fast forward to today we were feeling for wings and we went to the website to see if they were open yet and to our luck they were as it was the official opening day. We got takeout - 10 piece bone-in spicy yangnyeom with fries and it came with pickled radish on the side. We got to say hi and congrats to the owner that we usually talk to at Reliable Market. Wait time was about 30-40min which we were okay with since we weren't starving. We live nearby so we went back home to wait. Everything was fresh. The wings are between large to super huge. I was only able to manage 4 while my husband had the other 6. They were really good wings. The only thing is the large fries seemed more like a small fries. Inside has a pick up area for food, pastries and coffee... and then another section that is like a sports bar set up for dine-in. Great addition to union square!

    Delicious! You order at the front and find a seat afterwards. Our 20 piece chicken party wings took about 30 mins to prepare. We ordered 20 pieces half-half of soy garlic and original crispy. Both were great. The soy garlic pieces were on the sweeter side and the original crispy were juicy and fresh. The flavors are more similar to Japanese fried chicken (karaage) than traditional Korean fried chicken in our option, but still yummy. There's a lot of indoor seating, and a sufficient parking lot outside. Would come again to try the Spicy Yangnyeom wings and sandwiches.

    Happy Go S.

    Kbok Restaurant near Boston is a hidden gem for Korean comfort food. The fried chicken wings are juicy and crispy, and the mini vegetable mandu are adorable and flavorful. Their signature fried chicken sandwich is a must-try!

    great new addition to the neighborhood! they have a really cool robot and a welcoming community space. so excited to see this venture by the owners of reliable market. my chicken sandwich was delicious, the coleslaw was fresh and the flavors mixed beautifully with the crispy bun. we also got the banana espresso martini which was a steal for the price and hit that flavor profile on the nose. generous portions, quality food, and friendly service-check it out!

    This is my second trip to KBOK and can't believe it was better than the first! Had some amazing chicken tenders omg crispy!!! 3 flavors we chose to try them all and they would fit anyone's taste pallet. The French fries are amazingly crispy and something new was dumplings with vegetables inside fried! The staff super friendly and want to make your experience perfect! TVs and bar to watch game. I'll definitely be back!

    Stopped by 3 days since grand opening. Restaurant itself is fairly big with a clean dining area and bar in the back. Wings were definitely the highlight and would get those on another visit. I wouldn't say it hit my spice craving (I like my food really spicy) but the flavor was solid, especially the soy garlic bliss. Wings were crispy and not too heavy. Service was friendly and the bathrooms were clean. Based on location and quality, this is gonna be my new go-to for Korean fried chicken, would recommend

    The wings were amazing. Definitely would go back again. The service was great. Loved the chicken sandwich. It's great to have a new spot.

    Delicious Korean (barbecue) food where they cook your meat in front of you; quite pricey if you…read morecome hungry though. This is a really nice restaurant area, very spacious and plenty of seating when I came on a weekday evening around 6:30pm with a party of four. I wasn't familiar with their portion sizes but they recommended 3 barbecue meat dishes + 1 additional dish for four people. Given how expensive some of the options are (galbi is around $37!), we opted for two meat options and a soft tofu chigae soup. I appreciated how the staff gave us feedback and recommendations on what to order though! Food: - Galbi: delicious. A smaller portion, definitely not too much meat especially if you have multiple people. I feel like you definitely pay for flavor and quality here instead of quantity but some of the pieces were sinewy and tough. - Spicy bulgogi: my favorite, and a better portion for price. I preferred this to the Galbi! Not too spicy - Soft tofu chigae soup: so spicy but a very cozy feeling. They give you an egg to crack into it. Honestly I liked the flavors so much but this is definitely more of a "treat" of a restaurant since it's hard to do alone (have to order at least two dishes to do the barbecue option) and it's expensive for what it is!

    It's been over a decades since I've been back here and the food along with the services are still…read moreconsistent . Be a little wait if you come at dinner Time but the meats are always of good quality here. Staffs are great .

    This is my favorite Korean spot in the Boston area! The tofu soups are so filling and flavorful…read more It's walk-in only, and you can expect a casual, occasionally busy space with mostly hands-off service. Food: - tofu soups: I almost always get the kimchi and beef option! You can choose spice levels. I find this is a very satisfying portion, and it comes with a bowl of rice. - cold buckwheat noodles: the broth in this dish is incredibly flavorful. I like this option more than I like the tofu soups on a hot day--it's so refreshing! I think they're less known for this option and this particular dish is a summer special, but I'd 100% try it if you're there.

    I returned here for a late 2:30 pm lunch. Street parking was less terrible than usual, so I managed…read moreto find a spot right next to Kaju. The establishment was almost at capacity, but I got the last 2-top. I ordered the intestine tofu stew ($15.99). The tofu stew itself seemed decently savory with silky tofu, an egg, and well-cleaned intestines. It also arrived piping hot. The banchan seemed disappointing today. The radish kimchi was barely fermented and slightly bitter; it tasted like raw daikon purchased from the supermarket that morning. Cabbage kimchi seemed acceptable. Banchan sizes were quite skimpy; I ordered a refill for myself. This has convinced me to find another default / go-to place for soondubu / tofu stew.

    Wow, let me preface by saying I love Bonchon. I have gone to almost all of the Bonchons in North…read moreEast MA. I go to Harvard so this is my local Bonchon, I never come to this location for so many reasons. Initially when I started school in the fall I came here 3 times, 2 of the times the chicken was well undercooked, 3 of the times the staff were beyond rude, I was ignored countless times, and when they would respond the attitude and word choice was obviously intentionally disrespectful. All 3 of the times there were no staff at the counter and I had to yell "excuse me!" More times than I could count on two hands to get somebody to come to the front, unacceptable. Moving to the present day, it's finals week, I'm starving and craving Bonchon per usual, the one location I usually go to is simply too far, instead I decided to take a risk and walk down the street to the Harvard Square location. Initially as I walk in I notice there is, per usual, nobody at the counter, all of the devices were off (tvs and kiosks). I arrived at 8:05, they close at 9. I politely call out, "excuse me!" Repeatedly, so many times. Nobody comes up, I see a girl in the kitchen through the food slot by the registers, I start to call out a bit louder when she is clearly ignoring me, at one point looking up at me and going back to sitting and looking downwards likely at her phone. Eventually my girlfriend has had enough of my graciousness and yells out, "What is going on someone come out here and help us" this was a quite loud remark, impossible to be ignored. Just around a minute or two later some kid comes out staring at his phone with headphones fully on, as I go to order he finally takes off one side of his overear beats headphones and I find out they are out of strips, Classic crunch, and will provide me with salt. Eventually I order 2 bowls which takes 23 minutes for the to prepare, there was nobody else in the restaurant. I could go on about how unpleasant this location is in even further detail but I believe I did an adequate job describing the numerous reasons I will never be returning, I have also never written a review in my entire life until my favorite guy, at my favorite Bonchon location asked if I would. I am only now writing this review as the Bonchon Team responded as appreciated my last message, I hope you appreciate this one equally (obviously in a different way) and seriously enforce some vital changes at this location. The only reason I'm giving this review a single star is due to the fact it has the Bonchon name.

    The wings absolutely delicious! The sauces are good, but the wings themselves come out hot and…read moresuper tender. The restaurant could have used some cleaning, but they did seem a little understaffed that night. So 4.5 stars if I could. It was a minor thing. Overall, everything was great and will return.

    This was our second time ordering delivery from Seoul Topokki. We remembered it being really good…read morethe first time, so we went for round two. 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.

    We came here on a Saturday evening without a reservation and were seated with no wait. The service…read morewas great and our orders both were taken and came out pretty quickly. For the food, we got the tuna kimbap, Seoul toppoki, and bulgogi hot pot for two. Everything was SO good. The ingredients were fresh and the food was flavorful (sweet from the bulgogi, savory from the mushrooms, spicy from the toppoki sauce, salty from the tuna, and sour from the pickled vegetables). The price for the portion size was a great value and we ended the night feeling very full and even had to pack up an entire container of the hotpot for two that we didn't finish. Overall, we had a great time and I can't wait to come back again. This might be my new favorite Korean food spot in the Boston area.
