It's not merely that the dishes here are really good. They literally appear to incorporate likely "eating path journeys" into the distribution of the Haemul-Jjigae seafood stew. There's artistic flair and expertise. Sometimes the chef will come out just to have a peek at people enjoying the food. She seems so happy that we think it's great. Are you kidding? This place has to be the best restaurant in the entire area. Here is an important piece of criticism: the website shows pictures of the dishes in a sensible way; the *menu* will leave you without the slightest idea of what anything looks like. It basically came down to randomly trying new dishes in order to discover new favorites that look very appealing. I genuinely wonder if the menu issue might be artificially keeping business at a lower level. People would come here even more often if they could see photos of what the dishes look like.

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.

They had a great beer selection and was so happy to see Maine Lunch IPA in the rotation. Wonderful service too! Would come back here often if we lived in the area.

We've been looking for a Scorpion bowl / scallion pancake house since China Rainbow in Watertown…read moreSquare closed, and I think the search is over. I may miss Tammy and the Mai Tais that could peel paint, but Magnolias delivers across the board. Scallion pancakes were perfectly crispy, and the dipping soy was rich with garlic and ginger. I ordered the Yu Xiang shrimp and asked them to make it spicy... it was perfect, with crisp vegetables in a flavorful sauce and a generous potion of shrimp, no shell. My girlfriend got the pineapple fried rice and while it didn't come in a pineapple, it was a solid meal... and nobody eats the pineapple bowl anyway. But what about the scorpion bowl? It came to the table cold, and while it wasn't as wide a bowl as a lot of places, it was deep, and it did not play. Let's just say you get your moneys worth... not just the rocket fuel, but fresh juices expertly blended with not too much ice. We still had ice in the bottom when we finished, but the shape of the bowl kept the smaller portion of ice colder longer so the ice didn't melt and water it down. Service was prompt and friendly, decor was tasteful and understated, settings were neat and clean. Bartender was hip and friendly. Spectacular. 10/10. We'll be back.

Wow the new location is gorgeous!…read more A lot more space and I love the new dark modern feel and I'm happy to see the fish tank made the move! The kids alway loved to watch the fish and point out their favorites at the old location. The got a new one today!...Gill that you?! Takara moved around the corner into the old Bagel Table location in May. Large dining area with booths along the walls and comfy dark wood tables. The sushi bar area is in the front and has a lighter feel with a couple tables and is beautifully decorated. - still loving their California rolls...so fresh and tasty - Their tempura is always so crunchy and light and not greasy at all - miso soup so good! - other favs I highly recommend are the edamame, pork gyoza, okdol bibimbop, beef bolgogi, udon noodles (the packaging is great for this. They separate the broth from noodles) Glad to see Takara expanding, such a great gem in the neighborhood! Don't forget sign for their loyalty program! Still plenty of parking in the shared Wayland town center lot

It has all the basic dishes, brought out to the lovely grandmothers that will clean veggies and watch Korean dramas in front of you, and you'll feel like a kid growing up again. Service was top notch! Food aside, phenomenal, hot, and certainly filling to the point where the two times I've been here; all led to me taking home more food haha 5/5 would come back with friends and family :)

Drove all the way here from Boston to try this out! And must say, was very impressed with the food…read morehere--it was well worth the drive indeed. 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.

The portions were good, and every dish was tasty. The chicken bulgogi had a very flavorful sauce. The noodles in the japchae were chewy, and the texture was great. The kimchi fried rice had a tart, tangy taste. We had plenty left over to bring home. My one suggestion to the staff would be to offer protein substitutions ie a lot of the dishes have pork and you can take it out but there is option to simply substitute the pork for say tofu or egg or even chicken. The ambience of the restaurant is also very airy and sunny and bright. And they have plenty of seating. Would highly recommend!

I never really comment about it but it was geniunely quite good since the servers were very attentive and knowledgeable. Back to the food, we had the galbi, the shrimp, the korean seafood pancake, and the jjajangmyeon. The galbi was tender but it was a bit on the burnt side and I would have liked for it to be marinated a bit longer since the galbi flavor comes from the korean pear marinade My favorite was the shrimp. It was a simple dish but a pleaasant experience. It showed how simple raw shrimp and rice can be so delicious My second favorite was the seafood pancake. This was very filling with good flavor. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with the seafood. The Jjajangmyeon was a little disappointing. I was expecting a little more punch with the black bean sauce but the rest of the ingredients were nicely cooked and I liked the touch of the apples. 8/10 - solid spot and would come back

As a spice wimp, I didn't touch the red sauce, but the slightly spicy french fries dipping sauce wasn't too spicy for me. The Bibimbap was beautifully colorful with veggies and topped with an over easy egg. Everything was was tasty. The only thing was the french fries didn't handle the commute as well as the rest of the dishes, as they were a bit softer than I like.
