    Veggie Bibimbap
    Aya R.

    Dining method: counter-serve at the Boston Public Market Item(s) ordered: Veggie bowl Speed: Bowl was made immediately--great service Value: Pricing is typical for the area, large portions though! The Review: I was on the hunt for a safe-yet-delicious gluten-free option at the Boston Public Market, when I came upon Perillas. Although the only gluten-free option on the menu, they had the Veggie Bowl, and it was awesome. It was loaded with rice and veggies. My favorite things had to be the spicy garlic cucumbers and the Yum-Yum aioli. The portion size was substantial, and the dish was so flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised. What really drew me in was how spotless the place looked. They had signage for proper prep station cleaning, and the server was very knowledgeable on what contained gluten, so I felt very safe. Thank you, Perillas!

    Came here during the opening and was pretty disappointed, tbh. I was really excited at first, but the first trials didn't do justice. There was soooo much rice and not much meat/veggies in these bowls, it wasn't balanced at all. Not worth the price I paid for it for sure. I felt the same with my friend's bowl.

    Don't let the zoomed in Instagram photos fool you. The rice bowls actually aren't that big in person. However, I did feel full 30 minutes after while drinking water to expand the rice in my stomach. Definitely an interesting meat to rice ratio . The pickled kimchi cucumbers were really good and refreshing. I got the Beef Galbi. Although it was good, I wish it was flame grilled to have char marks on it and some more pieces. Probably get more bang for your buck with the pork belly. Too bad they don't have self serve gochujang sauce to smother it in or sesame oil to dip. Serving dessert here is kind of strange because 1000% the ice cream will be served before the main dishes. The chocolate tiramisu coffee taco is really great and there is a cake consistency to the filling so it isn't melting all over the place. Highly recommended, but at $7.50 per taco, it will be a rare treat instead of a daily diabetic fuel. Definitely the price matches supply, so check if it's in stock since there's limited quantity. Overall, I wish it was a little cheaper and had better serving sizes, but I'm a gluttonous cheapskate Asian who hunts for deals. Definitely need more Korean restaurants in the Allston/Brighton area to increase competition. I still can't believe Perillas are some Korean herbal plant. Thought it was an Italian restaurant name. Maybe I'm reminded of Peroni beer.

    I'm so excited to see this spot expand and grow throughout (and outside) Boston! It's such a delicious, easy and affordable spot to get some quick Korean food - in bowl form. I've tried their pork belly and bulgogi - both were delicious. Can't wait to see this place continue to thrive!

    Very tasty bowl and one bowl was enough to feed two of us (unless you are super hungry then go for it!). We had the beef and spicy gojujang sauce which was very good, but it is spicy so if you don't eat hot food, go for the aioli sauce instead. We liked the bowl and would go back for sure.

    Everything is good here. Such an awesome experience. Loved every bit of it. Beef Galbi

    My son loves this place and he eats what I can't finish. The tortilla style pork wrap was tasty but way too much red sauce-grease coming out of it. Don't wear white eating that. My kid tried pork belly and rice and also the short-rib meal w rice. He enjoyed it but couldn't eat the spicy vegetable side dish.

    Such a nice addition to lower Allston! With the lack of casual Korean food in Boston, this fills a much needed gap in the food scene. They serve up Korean style rice bowls that are the perfect size for a quick meal. The pickled veggies are done really well (those cucumbers) and the meat has always been good. I highly recommend the kalbi! They serve dessert too! Honeycomb ice cream tacos which are also such a nice treat

    Bibimbap w/ spicy pork
    Sugandha K.

    this spot is very yummy! the menu offerings is smaller at this locations, but they are very generous with the portion. i got the beef bulgogi bibimbap and the bibimbap with spicy pork (they were out of beef that day and substituted w/ spicy pork). both items were delicious and BIG. i had enough for lunch the next day. they also offer spicy or mild sauce for the bibimbap. neither are spicy, the mild is like spicy mayo--so just for the spicy sauce. the staff are also super sweet and quick! overall, i would recommend this spot if you are in the boston public market. for the price, i think you get a flavorful and FILLING meal!

    Short rib bowl
    Victoria C.

    Located on Western Ave across from the Brighton Mills area and right next to a Honeycomb Creamery! A small little spot that offers Korean bowls that make a well balanced meal. I ordered online through Toasttab and picked up a short rib bowl. It comes with kimchi cucumbers, salad, rice, and a sweet sauce to pour over everything. The packaging itself is deceiving, since the bowl looks quite small, but it's actually quite deep and there's a lot to this bowl. The meat is tender and well flavored, while the kimchi cucumbers add the perfect amount of spice to the dish. Give it a good mix and you have a little bit of each in every bite you take. They also offer bibimbap, pork belly, spicy pork bowls, and well as spicy pork quesadilla. Overall, a good experience if you're in the mood for a rice bowl.

    This place is in a great area. The owners are very friendly and nice. We got to try their new Bibimbap Bowls which was pork belly and short rib. They were so favorful and the texture was amazing. The presentation was on point. The tiramisu taco was so rich in favor and huge. Highly recommend you try them out

    Bulgogi Beef Bibimbap  This is so delicious!!!!!!! And healthy to add
    Karen S.

    I got this at the Boston Public Market and woo let me share my excitement. All the flavors are amazing, the portion is perfect for the price of $13 something. I have ordered from here multiple times because it's just so freaking delicious. Boston Public Market has various food spots but this place by far beats all!!! The service is perfect, polite, and speedy.

    Bulgogi beef bibimbap
    Maureen P.

    Updated: 7/15/2021 Came back to try this place again since I had a gift card and got to say this time was a big improvement. Portions were larger and they gave a lot more meat. Very happy with the updates the owner has made and will definitely visit again. Xxxxxx Old Review: I was excited to see a new grab n go place pop up in the lower Allston area, especially as it offered one of my favorite Korean foods, bibimbap. So my fiance and I decided to give it a try on a Friday for lunch. I placed an order online easily. The menu is limited with only three types of bowls. I got the bulgogi bibimbap and my fiance got the pork belly. As a note, if you order onsite it seems they have ice cream as well. Our order was ready right on time. The place is small with some outdoor seating but we took ours to go. First, I'll start by saying the taste was good. There was a good helping of vegetables and the bowl wasn't drizzled in sauce, which personally I like. The part that got this place three stars was the tiny portion of meat given. I think I only got two full pieces of beef in my bulgogi and for $11-12 that is a rip off in my book. Additionally, both my fiance and I were still hungry after finishing our bowls. Its nice to have a new food place in lower Allston but I don't think I'll be back.

The restaurant has takeout but offered enough space to hold three famished Fenway newbies. Service was quickly and friendly and the food was served fairly quickly. Seems like most restaurants begin at the suggested 18% tip to start. Some calculate their tipping suggestions at your subtotal before adding the taxes to your bill. This restaurant included the taxes as part of its tip calculation so be aware that you're actually tipping more than 18%. FYI: as a customer, you decide how much to tip for quality service. Bringing your orders to your table is basic. How many times they filled your water cups and check up on you are important and expected. Tipping is not automatic in my humble opinion. Servers who work diligently for their tips so tip accordingly to those who provided a great dining experience.

The restaurant focuses mostly on soba or udon noodle dishes with a good selection between hot and cold options. It's not going to be the best udon or soba you've ever had. HOWEVER, I tried the cold ikura & uni cold soba and LOVED it. It's seasonal, so I tried that one out and was extremely surprised about how much I enjoyed the bowl. Not too much soup and the uni didn't completely obliterate when I stirred it up. They do use American wasabi though, and I found it superfluous to the dish and wished it was served on the side. But regardless, despite not having some extremely high quality noodles, the flavor and experience of the bowl itself was super pleasant. I ended up coming back the very next day because I wanted to try their clam soba. The clam soba only comes hot, which is a bit unfortunately because I actually think a cold clam soba with some lemon or yuzu would be phenomenol. I've been seeing recipes for it online so I've been wanting to try it, but their clam soba is a lot more standard and hot. They had a very good amount of clams in it, but I generally like their cold soba better. Still good, but didn't give me that feeling of needing to come back the very next day like I did with the ikura-uni combo. Overall, I'd still come back when I'm in downtown!

We ordered the cheese topokki (soft rice cake, fish cake, vegetable, & mozzarella in Korean spicy sauce) & the beef bulgogi bowl (fried marinated beef, vegetables, steamed rice & side of soup). The cheese topokki was just as good as we remembered - chewy, flavorful, comforting, & a little bit weird. The cheese was poorly distributed, but it was still very tasty. The beef bulgogi bowl was really underwhelming. Firstly, it was very little food. We were promised vegetables, but there were only a few scarce onions & zucchini pieces mixed in. It was also dry. It was devoid of moisture & sauce, so we added some from the fridge at home. The side of soup was a joke. It filled only about 2/3 of the container & looked so sad, we wondered if it was the sauce that we we so desperately needed. Nope, just a meager amount of watered down miso soup. So the conclusion - great topokki, sub-par bulgogi, non-existent soup.

The price for the portion size was a great value and we ended the night feeling very full and even had to pack up an entire container of the hotpot for two that we didn't finish. Overall, we had a great time and I can't wait to come back again. This might be my new favorite Korean food spot in the Boston area.
