I visited the place given that its got rave reviews. Unfortunately, I was utterly disappointed. The…read moreplace was only carryout, which is fine. The food, however, was disappointing. 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.

This is an OG Korean restaurant in the metro Boston area. I've been going for about 20 years and…read moretook my ummah (Korean word for "mom") to celebrate her 78th birthday. We both have high standards for Korean food, and she is one of the best cooks of the fare in her heyday. We ordered 3 portions of the kalbi, or beef short ribs. My advice: order a side of lettuce and make wraps. Four adults partook and there was plenty to go around. This will not be the case at newer restaurants like Naksan (one of my favs in Boston). There, you will have to order more and pay more per person for the same level of satiation. Normally, I would also order sliced pork belly to bbq but my mom is allergic -- I know, super sad! I was also eyeing the thick sliced beef with salt and pepper to grill at the table. Next time! Their yuk ge jang soup is ginormous and could easily feed 2 adults to full capacity without bbq. My brother-in-law and sister shared it, along with the bbq. It's spicy but not too much so, and my Caucasian BIL enjoyed it: his spice tolerance is at a medium Cajun level. My family has known the owners for quite some time. They are genuinely warm, hospitable and hardworking folks. As others have noted, the restaurant itself is "well-worn." They've been around awhile, and the interior hasn't been renovated. If/when they do, y'all won't be able to have such great food for relatively reasonable prices. If you ask me, give me "happy dance" food any day over frills and ambiance. They still serve barley tea at the table, and this is provided along with complementary 4-6 side dishes (ban chan). This is no longer a given at many Korean restaurants, and it lends to the old world charm at New Jang Su.

I was not expecting too much because friends were not giving glowing reviews of this place. But we…read moreneeded somewhere to eat and wanted to eat Korean so we stopped by. It turned out the food was quite good! We ordered: - Bulgogi - Spicy Squid - Crispy Chicken - Soft Tofu Stew with seafood - Stir-fried Kimchi Tofu with pork The Soft Tofu Stew with seafood was especially good. Also, it was good to find a Korean place that served Stir-fried Kimchi Tofu with rice cakes. We ended up recommending Woori to some friends who weren't so high on it and they ended up going and enjoying it also!

Service: Food came out pretty quick Food: Got the caremalized pork banh mi, and it was very good. The pork had great texture but not much caramelization flavor, had a bite of my partner's BBQ beef and it was a lot more flavorful. The veggies were super fresh. The bread was nicely toasted. Good sized sandwich, very filling. Value: At $13 I'd say this was good value for the portion and quality Accessibility: The turn in to the parking lot can be a little tricky with traffic but there is ample parking. No stairs/steps to enter. Overall really enjoyed getting lunch here and would return.

One of my favorite drink they had was the coconut tea it does come with real large chunks of coconut. I ordered the grilled pork strips with rice and veg.

I really appreciated how relaxed and welcoming the experience was. I enjoyed having different dining options to choose from: All You Can Eat, À la carte, or a combo meal. We went with the 2 for $68 combo, which came with a small selection of meats and vegetables and ended up being the perfect amount of food. Everything was delicious, and we really enjoyed being able to try a variety without ordering more than we needed. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back!

I would only suggest this restaurant to someone that has been to a Korean, cook yourself place, and…read morereally enjoys the experience. I would caution anyone that is uncertain or unfamiliar. I would tell anyone that doesn't like incredibly fatty meat, or that likes their food cooked beyond medium rare to dine elsewhere. The hostess was friendly, we told her we had never been to the restaurant before, she quickly walked us thru the menu. Our waiter came by, we told him we had never been there before. We ordered various dishes, and plates of meat were dropped off. No explanation whatsoever. As he turned to leave, I said again, we'd never been there before. No insight into how best/long to cook anything. Every meat dish was incredibly fatty, like, 2/3rds fat. I placed meat on the grill, it cooked very slowly. I asked him to turn up the temperature as we liked our meats cooked well, so he turned the heat up. At one point he said he was going to swap out the grill-pan, and turned the heat down, while meats were still cooking. This was incredibly frustrating, I felt like food was taking forever to cook, and the longer I sat there staring at the meat, the more annoyed I got. It was all you can eat. We didn't finish our first order of 5 dishes we were so annoyed. It was not worth the money, it was an unejoyable experience. I've only been to a few self-cook Korean restaurants previously, and generally liked them. I think the staff needs to be more aware when someone asks for guidance, that they should try to be more engaged. I left angry, and still hungry.

I often pop in here after getting my allergy shots in Burlington. It's the perfect place for a…read moreseamlessly, easy lunch, and it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the area for really good Vietnamese food. The inside is modern and bright, and it's great for either sitting down or grabbing takeout. You order through a kiosk, and sometimes the summer rolls aren't listed on it. I usually ask if they have any made that day, and I always grab one order if they do. They have great lunch specials from 11AM to 2PM that come with a drink. My go-to is the Banh Hoi Bowl with Crispy Pork Belly. The pork belly comes in huge chunks, and when you get those extra crispy pieces, it's a real treat. I'm still testing out the drinks to find my favorite, the Fresh Salty Limeade is a little too mild for me and the Passionfruit Jasmine Iced Tea is okay. Parking is easy, with spots right in front and wrapped around to the back in the lot they share with a clinic. Overall Service: The service here is always great, and everyone is friendly. I recently had a newer girl, or maybe I haven't seen her before working, who was telling me about the specials. She made them sound so good that I'm definitely ordering one on my next visit.

This is the most expensive banhmi I have ever ordered and while tasty, it's not mind blowing.

The service was quick- perfect for lunch during the middle of a work day and has enough seating to not need to wait.

Sizzle N Slurp opened recently in Magoun Square, in the former Pennypacker's space…read more This cozy eatery is geared towards takeout which is order at the counter or online through Toast and DoorDash (delivery) and there are a few tables and seating along the front windows. They offer a selection of burgers, fries, ramen bowls, appetizers (chicken karage, gyoza, Takoyaki, avocado pancake, edamame), Thai iced tea, Thai iced coffee and cold drinks in the cooler. I stopped by Sizzle & Slurp for takeout recently, after walking a couple blocks from the athletic fields. I ordered the Bleu Flame Burger with fries & can of soda ($15.95 plus tax) and the Shoyu Ramen ($16.95 plus tax). My order was all set to go in about 10 minutes. I walked to my vehicle and headed back home to eat the food. The burger had a medium well grilled beef patty topped with lettuce, tomato, hot sauce, & bleu cheese spread on a toasted bun. The burger was a bit messy to eat, but otherwise pretty good. The standard fries were soggy from the condensation and I reheated in the toaster oven to make them hot & crisp. The ramen was stacked packed with the soy shoyu broth on the bottom and ingredients in a separate compartment on top. I dumped the mix of ingredients into the hot broth and enjoyed the shoyu ramen, which had housemade soy base with clear chicken broth, soft ramen noodles, chashu pork slices, kikurage, scallions, corn, nori, soft boiled egg, narutomaki (fish cake). The ramen bowl had good flavors and satisfying. I would order takeout again from Sizzle N' Slurp if I happen to be in the area.
