unassuming korean fusion spot...hole in the wall type. I had a yummy fried spam rice bowl for $11 and i'm very full and satisfied! the food is great- if you're picky about ambiance you should just get takeout. read more

Beef bulgogi with the tangy cucumbers and crispy pork dumplings were PERFECT and so satisfying. Definitely will be ordering their takeout again! read more

Sooooo good. Got some of the tot nachos, a beef dish and wings. Everything was outstanding.

Dangerously good. A really unique fusion of flavors. We got delivery and everything was fresh and hot. Not healthy at all but for good fried late night food it was perfect. They were able to make several dishes vegan. read more

I'm so excited for OliToki, it's such a great Korean/Mexican fusion concept that's quick and simple. Options like burritos, tacos, tortas but with bulgogi beef and kimchi are some examples that may sound weird but are actually magical. The staff is super friendly asking if I've been here before, if I had any questions etc. I believe they only opened around 2 months ago and already have a good amount of traffic. The first time I went I ordered to go (which most people do, there's only 8 seats so pretty tiny place) and ended up waiting a while since there were about 6 people in front of me! I didn't mind, it gave me time to review the menu because all the options sounded so appealing. First time I went I got the bulgogi beef bowl with rice (similar to a bibimbap pretty much) and it was AMAZING. The beef was perfection and mixed with the veggies and spicy sauce they give you on the side is an awesome combination of color and flavor. Second time I went a bit crazy and got totchos, a spam musubi (bringing back my childhood) and the bacon kimchi fried rice balls. Everything was incredible as expected, but what I didn't expect was how many tots I ended up getting. I was only able to finish half the meal which was too bad. Totchos and rice balls were a bit on the spicy side so if you like spicy, there are tons of options for that. My personal favorite was the spam musubi; simple, not dry, and devoured in less than 30 seconds. read more

Absolutely delicious Korean fusion, very reasonably priced with friendly service as well. Bulgogi burrito is my personal favorite. Small eating area so takeout is better. Also try the delicious Asian sodas. read more

I don't why this place doesn't seem as highly rated as coreano. Both Korean Mexican fusion. Similar quality of taste and lesser price. That's why I like this place better because it's cheaper for similar foods. I would say coreano appeal more to meat lover though. read more

OliToki - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I tried the quesa-kimchi-dilla and Bacon Kimchi Fried Rice balls. The quesadilla was pretty good. I ordered extra spicy, but it wasn't that spicy. The rice balls were definitely crispy and savory! The place had no AC though! It was so hot, it was so hard to enjoy the food. We also asked for cups of water that were also luke warm. If you want more water you have to ask the cashier every time. I'm not sure if I would come here again. read more

"Korean fusion" are two words I like to hear together. I ordered (from an online app and had it delivered) two delicious bits of tastiness from OliToki. I'd highly recommend them both: 1) Totchos. A genius idea. Like carne asada fries (which people here in Boston don't seem to know), but it's good stuff on more good stuff. Kimchi, onions, cilantro, tons of cheese, their special sauces, and bulgogi all on tater tots? Yes. Please. 2) Quesa-Kimchi-Dilla. This was fun, and I had it with their chicken (though I ate most of it for leftovers the next day). The dipping sauce was fantastic, though I wish there was more of it. I love this kind of menu and the food was still hot and fresh via delivery. I would highly recommend this grub, and it'd make great drunk food. :P read more

I've been here a handful of times and I don't know why but I find myself here more often than at Coreanos. I think they're pretty equal in quality but maybe because it's always less busy here and I am able to find a seat. Anyway, I have tried the loaded taco-tacos (tried all 4 types of protein: chicken, bulgogi beef, spicy pork, and crispy tofu), totchos, and ramen seasoned fries. Most were amazing and filling, especially the totchos since it comes with a protein as well. The ramen seasoned fries weren't anything out of this world but it is what it says it is lol. My least favorite taco/protein I've tried though is probably the chicken. The flavor was just okay to me. I have also tried a bite of my friends packed bowl before which was good - she seemed to enjoy it a lot though! There's definitely still a lot for me to try on the menu! read more

Really went there for the small munchies: bulgogi egg rolls, fried rice balls, and spam musubi. I did order some tacos but they were underwhelming, but the smaller snack items were very tasty, and if I return, it'll be because I'm craving for spam musubi and bulgogi egg rolls. read more

Incredible, authentic Korean food, with a twist. I came with friends and their kids who were equally welcomed. At Olitoki, you'll find extremely friendly staff, exceptional food and hilarious menu items Where all your fat kid dreams come true. This isn't greasy run of the mill Asian takeout, this is well-crafted and inventive with a side of spicy mayo. The kids had plenty to choose from and the owner gave them a super fun soda bottle that they will never forget ! My favorites: quesa kimchi dilla and the dumplings! My friends raved about the rice balls and burrito. read more

Love hole in the wall type places. Went there on a whim and was worried because I was a bit under dressed but when I walked in and saw only 3 or 4 tables, I was definitely relieved. This place is next to Shabu-zen. The owner and wife (I'm assuming) were sweet and attentive. Couldn't ask for better service. What we ordered; Totchos - delicious. The tots were covered in sauce but were not soggy, granted we devoured them quickly. Ramen fries - not bad. Normal fries, medium cut, sprinkled with powdered seasoning. I'd order again because I love fries. Spam masubi - nothing out of the ordinary. They were a good size but I wouldn't order again. Bacon kimchi fried rice balls - a bit over fried fork my liking, not much flavor. Maybe this is a work in progress... Next time I'm around the Allston area again and want a snack, I'll stop in. Their soft opening menu is rather broad and they all sound wonderful. read more

This is small but nice Korean fusion place i would not have discovered if it weren't for yelp. I ordered stuffed burrito rean and bacon kimchi and cheese rice balls. The food tasted great but only downside is that sauces are doing most of the work and that foods aren't not that healthy options (lots of salt and fried food). They do have delivery options which may be great for some. I would definitely give this place a try if you like these type of food. Compared to coreanos nearby i would say this place have slightly different but similar vibes. I would consider this place solid if you want to snack. read more

Soooooo good the bulgogi has so much flavor and the chicken burrito was incredible. Highly recommend! The tots were owe sauces but still delicious. read more

I f$&@ing love this place. Korean Mexican fusion done right- with the korean flavors by far the most prominent in Mexican style dishes+ some surprises along the way. The totachos are my favorite, I order them on Foodler all the time and make trips to allston specifically to get them. My favorite meats in terms of flavor are: Spicy pork Beef Chicken All great meats but my winner is for sure the spicy pork. Oh and get a side of kimchi, it's $1.50 and I'm positive it's homemade. read more

yum, really love their unique spin on transporting korean food. i love bulgorritos and they have multiple variations of it! their fried rice balls are such a yummy appetizer and you can go wrong with anything on the menu, the only thing you can do is eat your way through it read more

So a recent trend I've been seeing is the Korean Mexican fusion trend, especially in Allston. My friends have been raving about it and I figured it was time to try it. My friend and I came here for an early dinner on a Saturday and it was empty AF... idk if that's normal but it was super empty. Seating is limited and tiny. Max 3 tables for parties of 2. So makes sense that this place is more to-go oriented. Menu is extensive and has a lot of good options! I was still full from brunch so I decided to get 2 sides. I got the Spam Musubi and the Kimchi Fried Rice. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed. The Spam Musubi portioning was uneven: too much rice in comparison to the size of the spam slice. The kimch fried rice didn't pack that much flavor. It wasn't as spicy as I'd like. It was alright, didn't feel I wanted to finish it. However, my friend go the Totchos (tater tot nachos, insane I know!) That was the best thing I had. I wanted to order it initially but knew it would be too much for me to finish/eat on my own. Definitely made the right decision to share with him. This is SUPER affordable! His bill was cheaper than mine: $7 v. $9 and he had more food in total. I loved the totchos. He got pork as his choice of meat. I would definitely come back and either get the tatchos for myself next time or try something else. read more

Ok so this place isn't for everybody. It's strictly take out and it's junk food. But for me the food is ready when I get there and it's greasy and fried. It hits the spot when I need some late night food or something bad for me after work. Kimchi rice balls are my go to. read more

I've been on a Korean taco hunt for the past few months and a friend recommended checking out this place. Let's start with the positive... I do like their tacos, I got the bulgogi taco and it was indeed flavorful. The Negatives would be the other things I've ordered. I didn't like totchos .... it's basically tater tots with lots of spicy mayo. Nothing special. The kimchi rice ball was also drenched with spicy mayo. The rice bowl was a no-no! It didn't taste good or look appealing. As for the chicken wings, the olitoki flavor was okay but not a wow factor, I think it's bc two of the wings were still pink and that really bothered me and it wasn't crispy at all. BUT the other flavor we got was "The UN" which was way much better. It had a familiar taste that I can't pinpoint but it was delicious, and the wings were perfectly cooked and crispy on the outside. If I ever come back I would only get the tacos and the UN wings. Limited seatings and street parking. No bathroom. read more

Very original menu, super reasonable price, and tasty food. Overall, a bit greasier than I was hoping for. I had the spicy pork quesadilla, fried rice balls, and veggie dumplings. Paradoxically, the rice balls were the least oily. read more

OliToki - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is my first (and possibly only) Yelp review -- I'm much more of a user than a contributor. I'm writing this, though, to pay OliToki back for the service they gave me. I stopped by OliToki because it was one of the only places open at that time of day. I was debating between getting chicken wings or the packed bowl, so I asked the lady behind the register for her opinion. She told me to get the packed bowl if I was aiming for the "stuffed" factor. Awesome -- the packed bowl was cheaper anyways (and she still recommended it! Bonus points for honesty). I didn't get anything fancy with the bowl, just the regular chicken option. There was a considerable amount of rice and vegetables (kimchi, lettuce, cilantro) as well as some pretty savory barbecue chicken in the bowl. It was definitely enough to satisfy my late night hunger, and I chowed down pretty quickly. Three quarters of the way through, the lady came to my table and told me that she had put in an order of chicken wings so that I could try them out, see which one I liked better, and be sure of my order the next time I came in. I was already satisfied by the time I finished the bowl, but then the lady came by and dropped off a box of four chicken wings (with ranch and celery inside as well). I was blown away -- I had assumed she would give me one, two wings maximum as a kind of sampler, but this was essentially $4 worth of chicken. After eating them, I can definitely say that the wings are so very worth it (and I would not have regretted choosing them over the bowl). It was admittedly awkward to just receive so much free food and walk out, so this is my abashed way of saying thank you. Thank you to the cook who personally walked out of the kitchen to give me my food (in a room that you could probably cross in three strides), thank you to the lady behind the register for your honesty and (extreme) generosity, and thank you to OkiToki for a great meal! read more

Great flavors, creative menu options. An indulgence for sure. Had the kimchi totchos, wings, tacos, and steak and cheese rolls. The totchos were the highlight. Something different and fun, worth checking out! read more

OliToki - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

First time trying this place out. Owner was very friendly and nice. I wanted to try so many things, but it was just my boyfriend and I, so it wasn't reasonable to get all the things I wanted. We ordered the wings which was really good! The sauce was on point. The spicy option for wings could have been spicier in my option, but it was still good. We also ordered the spicy pork kimchi burrito which was pretty good as well. We asked for extra spicy and YES it was pretty spicy. I also got the bulgogi egg rolls and I loved it! The owner overheard me saying that I wanted the rice balls which we didn't order. He gave us two rice balls in our take out bag with a side note. SO NICE OF HIM! We really appreciated it and made us really want to go back. It definitely made a stamp in my memory. Thank you so much and we'll be back again! read more

OliToki - I wanted to order the rice balls but what a surprise from the owner! Thank you again! - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This place has been in my yelp bookmark folder for a while finally had a chance to try it. While all the picture online looks incredibly delicious, the food quality was underwhelming. When I am paying 7 dollar for boneless chicken wings I would expect it to be made in house- the beauty of Korean fried chicken partially is in its marinate and coating. Alas some store bought chicken fingers and chicken nuggets(???) coated in soy sauce, gochujung and msg simply cannot cut it. Good hangover food, late night snack... but during the day... meh read more

OliToki - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

OliToki was excellent. From the presentation of the dishes, to the decor (flat screen TV's displaying the menu on the left three screens and one showing Korean music videos on the far right), everything was great. We ordered: the pork Korean loaded tacotacos and Korta with pork, and a side of Bacon Kimchi fried rice balls. The loaded tacos were as fresh as any Korean-Mexican fusion I've had in the Bay Area and New York, with crisp purple cabbage and kimchi paired wonderfully with the tender pork. The Korta's ingredients complemented each other in a delicious blend; the Toki sauce was a good touch, as a robust contrast with the pork. The bacon kimchi rice balls rounded out the meal as a crispy yet succulent appetizer, making this an ideal food after drinking or watching sports games. I could definitely see this as a fun/ casual spot for meeting friends after visiting the bars or seeing a game, or even fueling up beforehand. The decor and music (hip hop) strongly reminds me of Xian Famous Foods in New York (St. Marks' Place). Thanks, OliToki! I'll be back! read more

This place is great. The owner is super friendly! An interesting and delicious fusion of two cultures. I had the boneless chicken with their original Olitoki sauce, which is the perfect amount of spice IMO. Will be trying their Kim Chi Rice Balls next time! You can also get Mayflower Sweets macaroons here which are amazing! read more

Really welcomed addition to Mass. Everyone should give this place a try, it's a hot trend in California and has made its way here. My recommendations in order, Bulgogi Egg Rolls ,Bulgogi Totchos ,Spicy Pork Tacos , Kimchi Fried Rice balls ,Quesa Kimchi Dilla Chicken . Really authentic flavors, comfort food style so it's not healthy but sure as heck is tasty. The owner is very nice and accommodating, they forgot my order of chicken but he apologized and fixed it right away. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu since it's only the soft opening ATM. read more

This place is pretty small, (aka you might just want to get take-out) but packed with flavors! Also though -- there isn't usually too many people around so you can grab a table to eat if you're with a couple friends or alone. I highly recommend the tachos, aka tater tot nachos, which are absolutely delicious. To me, they are the perfect blend of korean/mexican! I've had a couple of the other menu items like the quesadilla, burrito and wings, all are good, but they're nothing to rave over. Aside from food, the staff is very friendly so I would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area and wanting some korean/mexican fusion (better than Coreanos in my opinion.) read more

This place is hard to find because of its size, but it does not mean they have little choices of food. They do have multiple types of food. Mexico, Korean and Japanese food all are served here. Some of their dishes are creative. I personally tried the olitoki fried chicken wings (take out)and to be honest it is super tasty. In addition, they have proper packs for food and even put a small piece of wet napkin for the to go orders. The only deficiency is that they let me wait way too long for my order. read more

I popped by here for lunch yesterday and had a great, protein and flavor packed rice bowl! I went on the later side of lunch so the place was empty which was great because I was hangry. The space itself isn't anything to write home about--it's really more of a take-out joint. I had been meaning to swing by for a while, so I had a lot of questions for the staff member working about what I should try as a first-timer. Luckily for me as a pescatarian, he said that the kimchi rice balls didn't have any meat in them! Win! They're a cheesy, crispy, kimchi-filled delight. All of his recommendations were on point--the crispy tofu was super crunchy, the spicy toki sauce added great flavor, and the avocado he added on top helped temper the heat. At $9 for a huge rice bowl it's really a lunch no-brainer. It'd be nice if they could make the space feel more homey and suited to people that want to sit and stay for a while. In any case, I'll definitely be back for more food. read more

Placed an order on Foodler THREE HOURS AGO, paid for fast delivery, scheduled for a certain time, food is already 45 minutes late, still hasn't arrived. Called restaurant, got very rude service on the phone, no offer to help with order, blamed it on a third party delivery service, could care less our food would be cold and stale by the time we got it, no attempt to help. Terrible business model, Avoid ordering delivery. That being said, food is wonderful! read more

Ordered their food from Foodler. I am already an avid kimchi fan, so when I realized I could get a burrito with it inside I was sold. The portions are plentiful and the fusion aspect of their food is great. With the considerate price, it's a win win situation. I would also recommend their kimchi fried rice balls for greasy comfort food (it's great during Boston's cold winters)! This place definitely found a frequent customer! read more

Olitoki has become one of my new favorite places to order lunch or dinner from. My usual is the Aloha bowl with the spam, egg and kimchi over rice. I'm from Hawaii, so I was excited to see it on the menu. It's not the best I've had, but it is still very yummy and a good substitute to have for lunch or when I'm too lazy to cook dinner. I keep telling myself I'll try something different from them, but I keep going back to ordering this dish. It's just SO good! The Kimchi Fried Rice balls were not what I was expecting, but still so very tasty. It packs a lot of flavor with a little bit of that kimchi heat. We tried the veggie dumplings for the first time tonight and I have to say, it's probably one of the better veggie dumplings I've had here in Boston. They're full of flavor and have a bit of a kick to them. The Musubi! I've never seen it on a menu anywhere, but I make musubi at home and theirs are pretty good. Again, not the best I've had, but still tasty enough for us to keep ordering them. I've ordered from Olitoki several times in the past couple of months and I will continue to order from them in the future as long as they can stay consistent. My only disappointment has to do with the delivery, but that's a complaint for GrubHub, not Olitoki. read more

My friends had posted photos on instagram so I added them to my list of mist eats on my visit to Boston. It's located right next to another of my regular spots, dolphin bay.

Only order for takeout though, not a sit down place. read more

OliToki - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I first found OliToki through Eater Boston's "Hottest Restaurants" list. I was skeptic at first because I'm from Los Angeles, where there is no shortage of Korean Mexican fusion food, and was not sure if the east coast would measure up to my expectations. Well, I'm happy to say that I was wrong. The small restaurant/take out spot is located in Brighton (which seems to be hot spot for Korean restaurants) and has about 5 (?) tables inside. The staff was super friendly and patient with us as our group decided on our order. We ended up getting the following items: - Classic Wings: These were delicious! I'm a big wings fan and was happy with these. They were just the right size, crispy, not overly battered and super flavorful. Right now it seems they only have one flavor but hopefully they will introduce more in the near future. We also tried the boneless which I prefer more. - Bulgogi Beef & Cheese Egg Rolls: I'm not usually one to order egg rolls but was quite surprised at how tasty these were. It was a good combo of meat/cheese and the skin was thin and crispy. This was a favorite with my group. (Comes with 3 per order) - Totchos: Huge portion! We ordered this with bulgogi beef and even though it was smothered with meat, cheese, and sauce - the tots remained crispy! There is nothing worse than soggy tots (or fries) so extra points for this! - Packed Rice Bowl: We ordered one with chicken and one with beef. Lots of flavor and a good sized portion for the price! I noticed others had added an egg or avocado to it. Will need to try that next time. - Spam Masubi: you can't go wrong with these. it's spam! Tasty, salty, i-know-this-is bad-for-me-but-it's-so-damn-good spam. I'm glad we were able to get an order of 3 in because shortly after, someone came in and snagged 13 of them! - Loaded Taco Tacos: We ordered all three meat options and they were fresh and tasty. My favorite was the beef but my friends like the pork as well. I hope they will eventually add a hard shell taco option? They also gave our group complimentary macaroons which were pretty dang good. I have a major sweet tooth so that was a nice treat at the end. I was impressed with OliToki and will definitely return. Their staff is delightful and their food is delicious. I'm hoping they will have more options on the menu once they have their official opening! read more

It is good. It is not AWESOME. I haven't tried the chicken wings yet. My complaints: The tortillas on the tacos didn't have a good char. The spam in the musubi could also have a crisper outside. The kimchi portions on the dishes are inconsistent day to day. One day its plentiful another there is barely any that you can taste. The good parts: The tatchos i think are my favorite. Consistently good crispy tots. They also do a good job with their tofu prep. Not everybody does. They have cans of sac sac. (Canned fruit juices), sikhye (sweet rice drink), and su jeong gwa (cinnamon punch) which is a plus. The branding is ADORABLE! an oli toki is an Olivia bunny, named after one of the owners and toki is Korean for bunny. It is a tiny place. I think there is 3 tables for 2 and one for 4, or maybe it was just 5 tables... Either way there are only about ten seats and no standing room. When it is hot or cold out please make sure you shut the door completely and don't raise the establishments electric bill. read more
