I've never been to Korea, neither have I ever had food in a Korean home. With this in mind, I am going to go out on a limb and say this is as close to authentic as it gets. I started with the Gyoza. The owner/chef advertised these as home-made, and it definitely shows. The dough is delicate, and the meat and vegetable inside are balanced and nicely seasoned. I think there are a few glass noodles thrown in for texture as well. The Dolsot Bibmbop was great! It came out on a sizzling, hot stone bowl and had flavorful and tender meat and a wide assortment of veggies. Everything was cooked just right, and had a spot-on amount of seasoning/salt/spice. I also loved how the rice on the hot stone came out with a lovely crunch! Finally, we eat with our eyes (though some Yelpers eat with their cameras) and visually it was colorful, and could beat out some works of contemporary art, if I may say so! Where it comes to the Banchan, I am much less thrilled. All but one of these had a hefty dose of an overpowering, fiery, and heavily acidic sauce. Thus, it made 4/5 of these variations on a theme. Service-wise: When I visited, it appeared to be a one-woman army. One person appeared to be the owner, chef, and server in one! She was friendly, kind, and there wasn't a hefty wait for the food. On the flip-side though, doing my research I find that some questions were left unasked. This includes if I wanted to gyoza steamed or fried, and what protein I wanted with the bibimbop. Value-wise, I find their prices are reasonable, especially considering the filling portions. Thus, while nothing was mind-blowing, I found the food tasty and authentic and the value reasonable. While the service was very welcoming, it would've been nice to have been asked about the options in the menu. Last, the Banchan was enough of a miss that if I return, I will ask to skip them. read more

Ordered gyoza, yakitori and bibimbap and a coke for a total of 63$. Definitely overpriced for what is a hole in the wall. Nice enough but the bill did not match the menu prices. read more

Food was great and so was the service! I've been looking for good Korean in Quincy and I'm glad I found a place!

It's one of those places that's open late so we decided to eat here. Came here around 8:30 pm and was not disappointed. Owner was the server and the chef. Everything we ordered were excellent. Spicy beef soup, bulgogi, sizzling rice bowl and the spicy stir fry squid. Side dishes were good and you can ask for more. It's a small restaurant, can't say much about the ambiance and atmosphere but you come here to eat delicious Korean food. read more

Very authentic korean food, owner is very kind and attentive. Affordable good prices too!

A little overpriced given the options. Drinks are indefinitely overpriced but it seems like a small business. Opens pretty late 10:30-11 dependent on the day. Very nice lady and customer service, super welcoming. Not usually too crowded. Very small shop but still walkable. read more

Cute little spot where you can grab a beer and some bibimbap. Looking for a spot to eat, we're driving and someone says McDonalds. Um, my magic 8 ball says hell no! Using Yelp, we came across Korean Grill. Walking inside, the place is looking, old. From the small bar to the kitchen, this place is tiny. Even though Korean Grill is small, their meals pack a nice punch. I asked if they had any iced tea. Our waitress was so nice, she made me an iced green tea! Now all I'm focused on is a nice big bowl of Bibimbap. The two ladies in the restaurant enter the kitchen and start cooking like mad scientists. Then, our food comes to the table. The ladies are so proud of their meals, I'm sure they used these recipes were passed from generation to generation. My Bibimbap was flavorful, total home run. Now I know I'm not in Kansas anymore. The fried egg on top is throwing me. In NYC, they bring out a raw egg. A fried egg, maybe they have a Massachusetts tax on eggs. Regardless of the egg, the Bibmbap was killer and we enjoyed our lunch at the Korean Grill read more

Everything was delicious! We ordered the Kimchi Pancake, Tteokboki, Kimchi Jiggae and Korean Style Ribeye. Best Korean food in Quincy!

I lived in Korea for 6 months. This is great, just like there. We'll priced. The owner is funny. Comes out to talk.

I came in for lunch May 4th and I was so impressed! This was my 1st time having Korean food and it was so delicious! I ordered the Bul Go Ki Gop Dol Bi Bam Bap! To start look at this great presentation! The flavors were just as great to match! The dish had Bulgoki (thinly sliced beef) and vegetables over rice in a hot stone pot. The service was also great and the food was served quick! I will definitely come back and try more! read more

Their overpriced and under flavored chicken wings sadly gave me an upset stomach. You can imagine the rest of the outcome :/ I walked in to the restaurant on a hot and muggy day and the first thing I see is the cook marinating and mixing (probably room-temp, at that point) chicken right in front of a dusty electric fan. Not a good impression, especially since I ordered the chicken wings. I was being brave though and I thought I'd be able to handle it, especially since their chicken was a bit overpriced and didn't want to waste my money. I definitely regretted my decision a few hours later. read more

Won't be going back . They overcharged on the takeout. One order of bibimbap (#69) was charged at $20.95. The menu photo on yelp clearly shows it at $11.95, nowhere on the menu is there an item for $20.95. Even with sales tax calculated it should not amount to that. I understand the pandemic situation impacting small businesses may result in an increase in menu prices, but $20.95 is not reasonable for an order of bibimbap for one person . They need to be transparent about the price - if you decide to go for takeout , make sure to calculate and double confirm amount charged on the phone before going or else you might be overcharged . Lastly , would question the sanitary conditions of the place as an insect was found in the other item ordered. 0/5 Won't be going back. read more

I had a pretty good experience here! The food was delicious but somewhat pricey. Highly recommend the Korean pancake with seafood. Everything was very good. I went at around 2pm on a weekday and there were no one else there. The restaurant is pretty small and there was only one person working there, but that was not a problem since there were no other customers at the time. They accept credit cards but not Amex! read more

We ordered grub hub. We had to call grubhub 30min after we ordered for the restaurant to accept our order. The rice cakes we ordered were mush. I felt like I was eating mashed potatoes. The bimbop was ordered with tofu and they put beef on it. What a waste of money. Completely overcharged for food that is (-1) stars. If I could give a negative I would. I mean how do you mess up rice cakes. You know how? They probably were sitting and reheated. That is the only way to mess up the texture that bad. Completely gross. read more

Had I known that the seafood noodle soup was made with ramen, I probably wouldn't have to order it, but it's no big deal. However, the service blew off my mind! First, when I took my takeout order, I told the owner/waitress that I thought the noodle and soup would be in separate containers because the noodle would get soggy in the soup. She first said she "just made it" so it won't get soggy, then started complaining about me being late, so that's my problem. I picked up the noodle from my order within 20 minutes, and didn't she say she "just made it"? How do I know that they have no business in 20 minutes for pick up is considered a loooong time? Second, when I pay with my credit card, she complained that I used a credit card and the minimum charge was $20, but she let me pay this time. Then I asked for the receipt, and she again rudely told me why I didn't tell her in advance that there would be a different procedure. I don't work there! How did I know a standard receipt needs to be requested in advance and per request? Why was I scolded up multiple times for a single pick up for no reasons? I definitely will not go back! (By the way, the noodles, tasted OK if not overly soaked; it tasted the same as the Korean instant noodle,"Shin". ) read more

Best bulgogi in Boston. I kept trying other places to compare but gave up as nothing in the Boston area is even close. Now I'm here about every other week. It's a huge portion and perfectly prepared with two sides. Sue and April are always friendly and welcoming even while cooking and serving. The only question they ask when I call is how many I need that night! And they're open late too which is a real plus. read more

This was my 1st time eating there. I drive by so very often and wanted to give it a try. Boy did I make a mistake. when I entered the restaurant it seem full although it's a smallest spot. It took about 30 minutes for my appetizer to come in. I ordered the chicken it was salty. I didn't even finish it. The main dish that I ordered consisted of pork rice and small garnishing itmens. Beautiful presentation ..once again extremely salty. I talk to what appears to be the owner very nice lady who seem a bit frazzle, she was also the person cooking the food. I told her that everything was salty not sure if it's how they marinate the protein but everything was extra extra salty not to mention they added teriyaki sauce over the protein. The fried egg over the rice salty... it was too much. I told her she needs to be careful because people are concern conscious about sodium intake. She looked at me and said no one ever has any issue with how we season off food here. And next time I should ask for little to no salt. read more

Best Korean food in town, period! We came for Sunday lunch, and the food was awesome! The beef and seaweed soup is not fancy but tastes like my mom's cooking. The owner and chef, who is a Korean mom told me she learnt the recipe from her mom! The octopus/squid stir fry is so spicy and tasty, if you can handle spicy, definitely order that one. The bibimbap is awesome too! Highly recommended! read more

Stopped by here the night of the Noreaster. It's a small place and since it was empty, I opted to sit at the bar, which is really just a counter. The folks that were working there were very friendly. Ordered the yookhwejang (spicy beef soup), which was ok. It was spicy, but could have used some more meat in the broth. I did appreciate the number of side dishes that was served. Mostly places would probably only give two or three dishes. read more

I am Korean and there's never been a better cook than my mom. I have tried a number of different Korean restaurants around here and in Boston. But very few have been satisfying. This is probably the best Korean food I have eaten in a very, very long time. The reason why I only give her four stars is because if you put in five, yelp may not include it in their reviews. Warning: I love that she doesn't hold back in her seasoning! There have been dishes here that I will eat, crying my eyes out! read more

Dang Im so disappointed on this one. We really wanted to support this small business because we are a Korean American family. However, we just can't. The service was very slow; unfortunately I think the owner is the only chef so it is just very slow. The upcharges were just too much: we asked for water as drinks and got charged for two bottles of water. We also got charged $8 for two rices (most Korean places include it or just $1 each). We also got charged for sauce. The food was ok but the price is just too much. read more

I was so disappointed going here it was a huge waste of money! It was my man, his brother and myself for this trip. We had gotten a few things to share something quick. We order beef stew, twice fried chicken and pork belly for 2! First of the beef stew had tiny pieces of shredded beef couldn't have been more then a tablespoon worth. The twice fried chicken wasn't that bad but wouldn't go out my way for it wasn't special in any way! The pork belly was burnt on the outside and pink on the inside like how does that even happen?! The pork belly just taste like it was cooked over a dirty charcoal grill. The waitress was very active and energetic she talked us out of going across the street to the New Mexican place which I wish we would've done! We live and we learn... learn not to go back lol read more

Food was 3 out of 5. Service 2.5 out of 5. The food here is pretty good. However the service is lacking. When I went here there were local men hanging out talking to the women that worked here. The men looked like they were from Ill reputed communities and professions. The server is the cook and the manager. The overall experience was great however - mostly a spot for single men to go to and single women. Not a family atmosphere. read more

The training wheels are off; the honeymoon period is over. Ugh, I've given this place some time to get its [expletive] together, but it just can't get the job done at all. I really want this place to work, but it just can't get anything right. I came here for lunch again and ordered the dolsot bibimbap. It's hard to screw it up, right? Well, I learned my lesson. The rice was not crispy on the bottom and there wasn't much rice to begin with at all. Actually, there wasn't much of anything in general. Vegetables (carrots, etc.) were limited, there was no egg, and I think I might've found traces of meat... For $11.00, I expected a hell of a lot more. It took a while for food to arrive and it wasn't exactly crowded. The only thing that barely pulls this out of 1-star territory was the server was pleasant to me, but probably only because I knew enough about Korean food to show her I wasn't going to take crap. The panchan wasn't quite right. Whatever few dishes we got, it just didn't taste like legit panchan you'd taste at a place in NY/NJ or LA. The kimchi had a sweet flavor to it. Blech. It annoys me that this spot doesn't have yukgaejang (spicy beef and vegetable stew) for lunch and that I'd have to come to dinner. Lunch was so woeful that I have little desire to come for dinner. That is what happens to many: they try out lunch first and if they're attracted to lunch, they'll want to try dinner. It's unfortunate to be dropping the hammer on a Korean restaurant in an area that desperately needs a good one. read more

After flying back from Atlanta we were so hungry. We had an hour drive home so we decided to find something on the way. Korean grille was the closest so that's where we went. I ordered the yook ge jang. My wife ordered pork bulgogi and my mom Korean Kalbi. Everything was so delicious, cooked perfectly and seasoned well. When I'm in the area I will definitely be eating there again. I advise you to not come with a large party because this place is a hole in the wall. Sue was only lady working there so the wait was a little long. Go and try it and you'll see that it's worth it. read more

Don't understand why all the negative reviews. Stopped by this little Korean restaurant (6 small tables plus side seatings) on a cold January day with hubby. The food was good, I had better but hey, let's be real, we're talking about Quincy, not Cambridge or New York City, choices on Korean food is limited. I'm very happy to have found this authentic Korean restaurant on Hancock Street. The Korean small dishes, there are 6 of them, my favorite is the fried tofu. What we ordered: - Fried beef dumpling (~$8.50) - it was ok - Bulgoki with hot stone pot (~$13/$14) - it's good, sizzling hot, perfect for cold winter days -Steak special (holiday dish) (~$17/$18) - really really good, the steak was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. There we're veggies and an egg on the steak too~~ Overall, it's pretty good~~ atmosphere was so so but the price and location reflects that. Service - Excellent~~ very attentive and friendly Price is around $25/person before tips. We'll be back!! read more
