    Cannot finish the double chicken and broccoli bowl...did not want to.
    John Y.

    Double chicken and broccoli rice bowl: Good amount of chicken pieces with broccoli and some spicy sauce. The chicken is kinda dry and bland. Its as if it was over cooked while boiled in some flavored broth. The broccoli may have been just steamed. The spicy sauce tastes more like sriracha. The rice was not great...it was as if they added too much water so the rice was mushy. The bowl contains a good amount of food but after several bites, you get fatigued by the constant chewing with minimal reward on flavor and texture. I finished it across 2 meals. I'd recommend resisting the urge get this and try something else. The "Large" bulgogi and cheese eggroll is anything but large. Its a typical egg roll...don't be mislead by pictures or descriptions to make you think its anything special in size. Biting into this made me feel something pasty and cheesy. It would've been nice to have bulgogi beef that had to be chewed. Its mostly cheese flavoring and perhaps its the bulgogi that was the pasty part. Not good and I cannot recommend this. The OliToki Tteokbokki - This was the better dish, but not without opportunity. There are a lot of tteokbokki pieces in there, which is good. If you like onions, then you're also in luck as there are plenty of that. If you like saucy and spicy, then ding ding ding you win again! My complaint, and maybe this is tedious, theres nothing else in there. Most other places I go to for tteokbokki has fish cake slices and cabbage. This one does not. I'm pretty sure I'll overlook this place next time I'm craving korean food, as there are so many options in the Allston/Brighton area that are proven to be better, IMHO. At the same time, I've never heard of this place until today...so maybe they are new and will get better.

    Was looking for a late night snack and luckily this was one of the few places open past midnight. Parking in the area is usually difficult, but it was easy this late at night. There's extremely limited seating. Appreciated the creativity of the menu. We ended up just ordering from the munchies menu. My favorite was the cheesy kimchi fried rice balls with the sauce drizzled over it. I'm interested in coming back to try a meal.

    We got take out delivery via Uber Eats from OliToki. The tteokbokki was a bit over-cooked, and the chicken add-on in the kimchi fried rice was very dry. Definitely tastes like fusion food rather than authentic, which is what we expected. Overall very filling!

    Pretty good! Ordered pickup through UberEats and got the BOGO boneless chicken and the bulgogi burritos. The chicken was pretty good, just wish they put more sauce on it, and we air fried the fries when we got back to warm them up and the bits of sauce turned into an A+ glaze . The burritos were also pretty good, but the beef was a little sweet/had some strange dry hard bits I wasn't a huge fan of. Still love all the other fillings though, and recommend throwing it on a pan to get the tortilla hot and crispy!

    Chicken Wings w/ olitoki sauce
    Marni M.

    Ordered take out from here which arrived on time through uber eats. For appetizers we shared the fried rice balls and the chicken wings. Since it was take out, of course the items had cooled down since being packaged. That includes the cheese in the fried rice balls and since they may have rolled around, there wasn't enough sauce to balance the dry mouth feel. Serving some on the side would be better packaging for take out. Additionally, the batter on the wings lacked that crispy layer to hold onto the sweet and spicy sauce which tasted good. They were on the smaller side but we're still moist. I had to Olitoki burrito with bulgogi which was decent but not anything to rave about. My friend got a quesadilla which was not cut up but directly thrown into a container. The spam and eggs Bowl was very straightforward. Overall, not very excited with our meal from here. Probably will not order takeout again.

    The idea of this place is fun. It's menu is limited but each of the items are well thought through. Pricing was fine. They had many take out orders happening when we were eating. I think they do most of their business as takeout which makes sense given the area

    A bit disappointing. The boneless chicken has a thick batter, much like what you can get at any fast food place. The sauce was fine, very standard guchujang with little other flavoring.

    We got takeout from there and the food was bomb. The Toki Tochos and the wings were so amazing and literally everything we got from there was so good. Highly recommend.

    my first time at olitoki wasn't the greatest but this time really brought their ranking in my book UP! i got the boneless wings with olitoki sauce.. heavenly the chicken stays crispy even with a great coating of sauce! the chicken isn't at all dry and the sauce has a little spice! definitely recommend but beware inside the place is always hot and no ac

    The Kimchi Bur-illa with tofu
    Kelley C.

    Throughly impressed by this place! Stumbled across them on DoorDash and just tried to pick a few things to try. First off, everything was packed extremely well. Food was still warm and nothing lost its shape or crispness in transit. So, the food. Everything we got was amazing. We scarfed it all down within 20 minutes. The flavor of the kimchi in the burrito was just right - it wasn't too much spicy. And the fried tofu was amazing. The rice ball was crispy, rich, and everything I didn't know I needed. We also got the beef and cheese egg rolls (not pictured because we ate them too quickly), delish. Finally the kimchi fried rice bowl with beef - that beef is perfectly seasoned and flavored. The tangy cucumbers mixed with the spicy rice and the flavorful slightly sweet beef was amazing. Unfortunately the egg did come much more cooked than it should as I believe the yolk should be runny but it most likely continued to cook when it was laid to rest with all the flavorful goodness for delivery. This will be a new go-to every time I visit Boston!

The cucumber salad was seasoned perfectly and was a nice balance to the otherwise heavy meal. My favorite is probably the pork xiao long bao, but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order. Service was great. Both times we were a party of two and were seated quickly, if not immediately. Food came out very fast. Will 100% be returning.

    First time here and it was great! We did the AYCE all-you-can-eat on a Monday (they only do it…read moreMonday and Tuesdays) - got there around 7:30p and even though it was very full, we got seated quickly with a table for 3. It's $50 for the regular AYCE or $80 for the Premium AYCE. We opted for the former, and it was plenty great. We have done lots of AYCE sushi and I will say this is the BEST of them - I think it's because it's the same grade sushi as they would normally do Ala carte on other nights. The $50 menu had plenty of sashimi and regular nigiri (sushi with rice) options and some Thai too. We had mostly the sashimi Salmon, Tuna, Yellowtail, Octopus, a few rolls, some edamame, gyoza, shumai. My favorites were the salmon, as the cuts were large, thick and amazing silky, and the gyoza, as it was perfectly crispy. The Pad Thai was bit way too sweet for my taste - a skip for me next time. The decor is very nice - reminded me of a dive Tokyo bar. Service was quick and very attentive. We will be back!

    Have been hearing about their Mon & Tue AYCE, so went on to try it a month or so ago. With what…read moreseems to be a recent price increase, now $50++ allows access to a good variety of sushi/sashimi, on top of apps, ramen, poke bowls, and cooked rice/noodle dishes. Whereas $80++ offers diners a set of amount of uni, plus unlimited amount of everything else, wagyu included. Sounds like a good deal, especially when one can eat a lot. Even as we are no longer Team Eat Till You Burst, we went for the premium, mainly for the nicer cuts such as toro and wagyu, and because uni!! Jumping in shortly after 5pm, we were promptly seated, marked a bunch of stuff on paper, and soon after submission, we got food brought to our table. It was a decent meal overall, so why 3 stars? Let's recap. Menu variety is fantastic, though of course we didn't get "one of everything", coz that's simply impossible. While the premium did cover a lot of grounds, it would have been nice if they also included anago (sea eel) which is currently only available on the a la cart menu, and maybe even offer couple lesser-known items such as monk fish liver app, sea grapes, off-the-beaten-path fish cuts, what have you. Would be happy even if we only get an allotment of those like we do with the uni. Now, service - great overall. Servers circulated around and were alert of customers' needs. Approached at appropriate times to take our order sheets, refill water, provide new order sheets, and ask if we wanted more food. So kudos on that. Their denotation of serving "regular portion" of cooked food had us hesitant in ordering, since we didn't want to be wasteful (or use our limited stomach space for dishes we can easily get elsewhere). But from other tables' orders as well as the one noodle dish that we ended up getting, it seems that the portion size was what I would like to see at AYCE places -- about 50-60% of regular Asian dish size, where 3-4 people can each have a couple bites "just to try". However, to think if that is what they call "regular portion", then it is definitely "Brookline pricing" on a la carte, which I would not recommend one to do such things on these items. Food is fantastic in general; we got a variety of stuff, and everything was really of top quality and taste. The meal would have been a "highly recommended" if they didn't serve the uni that we got. Out of the 12 pcs of uni sushi, all of them were... while not "foul" to a point where one cannot safely consume, they were definitely more sub-par than "ok but not great". Colors aside (which I understand there can be a range depending on origins and such), the uni was a "splat" of yellow stuff on rice, without distinct shape of the flesh. On top of the fishy smell (I'm talking about slightly ammonia-ish), the presentation and taste-texture upon them hitting our tongues... really left the ENTIRE room to be desired. In retrospect, we should have sent them back even if they weren't going to replace them. But instead, we stupidly forced ourselves to shove them all down in cowardly silence, then ordered another round of wagyu just to make us feel a little better about it. Yes, we weren't smart as customers. But if the restaurant is going to charge $100++ per person (after tax and tip), someone from the kitchen should have known better than pushing this thing out for customers to deal with. In their defense, yes, the uni itself was still "edible" in a sense that it didn't make us sick, but I'd maintain that better judgment should have been made. Once the shell was cracked open and you see this pale-gray yellow mush, it should have been decided that it is better repurposed, than be served straight to your customers as your star/featured product. As seen in other diners' experiences, it could just have been a one-off mishap, so I'm not knocking them entirely. But I do hope the restaurant would improve on their QC accordingly. It was such a disappointing low point in an otherwise wonderful meal.

We loved the music, lively atmosphere, and fantastic service as much as the killer food. The menu features an entire page of imaginative cocktails, each artfully prepared and presented. The Strawberry Cheesecake is one of Merai's signatures, and it actually looks like a slice of strawberry cheesecake. We started with the beautifully presented Golden beet salad, which was bursting with flavor from the Thai chili jam dressing, followed by the Grilled Caulilini. Similar to broccolini but from the cauliflower family, it was grilled and served with tomato-tomatillo relish, fish sauce, and finely grated Parmesan. We took the bartender's advice and ordered the signature Hot Dog, made with spicy krapow sausage and served in a toasted bun with salted egg yolk mayo and caramelized basil. I rarely eat meat, but I had to make an exception to try it, and it did not disappoint. I'm not usually a fan of fried food or rice, but I was persuaded to try the Chicken Rice, and all I can say is WOW! Chicken legs are stuffed with garlic rice and fried with caramelized fish sauce, creating a sweet, sticky, and utterly delicious crispy exterior. The chicken must be eaten by hand, and it was truly finger-licking good. I can't recommend Merai highly enough and will definitely be back. It's a small space with both bar and table seating, so your best bet is to reserve ahead.
