I don't know why it's so hard to find places in MA that have gukbap on the menu, but it is. This place has an extensive menu, but I specifically came because I was craving pork gukbap on a rainy day. There were Korean people eating here, which is always a good sign. The food came out pretty quickly, and for banchan they only give you regular kimchi and kkakdugi, which were both rather mediocre, but at least the kkakdugi was crunchy. The gukbap was not bad, and comes with the salted shrimp and chili paste seasoning, which you can add to taste. They are generous with good cuts of pork and it doesn't taste gamey. I don't like that they put some sort of peppercorn in the soup--unsure if it can be served without this. My husband got the kimchi jigae, which only comes in a serving size for 2-3 people, which was actually huge with so much pork in it! This was a little on the more sour side, but pretty good. We left with plenty of leftovers, and I would come back to satisfy a craving.

pretty good food and good service. i got the stone bibimbap and kimchi and seafood pancakes. there's nothing really special because they sell traditional korean food but it was good and i enjoyed it.

Tangsuyuk
Will W.

Located in the midst of the Allston/Brighton, this is a good spot for some Korean comforts. Frankly, it was my first visit in several years, but the staff were very welcoming and the food still very comforting in the cold weather we have. My personal favorite thing to order was the Tangsuyuk, especially with how it was served separately from the sweet and sour sauce. Yes, I know it's just another crispy fried pork dish, but as someone who seeks comfort in food, it's definitely worth a try. Anyway, not a personal fan of their seafood pancake as it seems pretty doughy for my taste, but would definitely give everything else another go (or perhaps try something new) the next time I visit!

Soondubu
Amy L.

Came by on the weekend and was seated immediately. My husband and I both came in wanting something soupy so I ordered the soondubu and my husband got the gukbap. We also ended up getting the tangsuyuk just to see how it is here even though we weren't ordering any other Korean Chinese dishes. When our banchan came out, we were kinda surprised that the kkakdugi was served with only 4 pieces. We're not sure if they'd refill the banchan so maybe it doesn't even matter but we were surprised to see it served like that. The soondubu tasted okay, nothing amazing but not bad either. My husband was not a fan of his gukbap and didn't finish the meat in the gukbap. The tangsuyuk may have been the best dish out of everything we ordered. Overall okay but not something we'd seek out in the future either.

Radish and kimchi
Chris M.

Street parking is out in front. Everyone except me was Koran so it had to be good. I started with picked radish and a side of kimchi. Since I was new to the restaurant, I ordered a hot pot with beef, vegetables and rice. I did not go wrong. It was delicious. The pricing was rather high. It is tough to rate because I did not know what I was looking at. The serving size was large. I give the service 5 stars. They definitely share tips because it seemed like I had a team of people taking care of me. I definitely am going to return.

Ganjajang Noodle
Christopher C.

took a trip here from nyc, the Jajangmyeon in Boston is better than any city-nyc spot-- the shrimp was also stellar. Would come again-- wish the portions were just a smidge larger and need to try the tangsyuk Cheers!

Stone Pot Bibimbap
Mikey W.

Incredible spot with excellent and very legit Korean food. Place was pretty packed when I got there, yet I quickly got a seat, and was able to put an order in as soon as I was ready. Service was friendly and attentive. Even to the point that when my napkin fell off my lap, someone quickly gave me a new one. The vibe in the place was low key and it was filled with people having a good time, but it definitely wasn't fancy. I had the stone pot bibimbap and the portion size was perfect and came with a couple tasty sides of kimchi. It was piping hot as it should be and I enjoyed every bite. Definitely will come back here to try some other things.

Stone Pot Bibimbap
Emily Y.

We had about a 10 min wait on a Saturday night which is pretty good. Their Japchae is one of the best I've found in Boston. Service was pretty fast for how packed the restaurant was. I've come several times with friends and always enjoyed the food and atmosphere.

Menu front
Lauren C.

I just got the original jjajangmyeon here. It was mediocre. Didnt have as much of a jjajang taste to it. Was a bit bland. The whole dish was just onions with a little bit of pork. No zucchini, or potato that would make it a fuller experience for the texture and flavor. Dont recommend. The radish kimchi banchan also tasted spoiled, and im not talking about the fermented taste. But on a better note, their new menu for mala dishes were super tasty. I got to taste some from a friend. So I would come back for those dishes. As well as the tangsuyuk(fried pork w sweet/sour sauce), was super crispy and juicy. For service, it was lacking. Maybe it was slightly busy but it felt like they had enough staff to at least check every table once but didn't get the pleasure to talk to anyone. Just got the order, and the check.

Jambong seafood noodle soup $17.95
John Y.

We've wanted to try this place for a while, and on a whim, we were able to try it last night after finding some near by parking. We were seated immediately on a Saturday night around 5:30pm, there were plenty of tables available. The seating area is comfortable and the dining area appears open and clean. The staff were friendly in our interactions. Seafood scallion pancake $15.95 - This was okay. Kind of on the flatter side vs more fried/fluffy and crispy at other places. Some decent sizes of octopus were found, small shrimp and scallions. Tangsuyook (large) $32.95 - Surprisingly, this came out first to our table. I always have to way forever for this dish elsewere. The portion size is not as bad as I thought it would be after looking at some pictures. Perhaps the pictures I saw were not the large size, which is only a few dollars difference. Just get the large. The sweet sauce is on the side and taste just like that, nothing special. There was a spicy sauce option that I wish I had tried instead. The batter is very light, so the crisp is very light as well. If thats your thing, you'll like it. I'm on the side that prefers a little thicker batter and more crunch. Japchae $19.95- This was very shredded-veggie heavy. Otherwise, taste like typical japchae I've had anywhere else. Nothing stood out to me. I feel $19.95 for this is on the high side for a simple dish. Ganjajang $15.95 - This taste just like jajian mian. I'm not sure of the difference. If you've never had it, I can describe it has black bean paste with HEAVY onions and a few chunks of pork (look for it, some are in there). Overall, the experience was good. The food just did not do enough for me to crave coming back vs trying more of the plethora of k-restaurants around the area.

Bibimbap with beef... so good!
Tajoura D.

Killer Bibimbap! What this place does not have in ambiance and fine dining trappings, it more than makes up for in amazing food and service. I got water automatically when I sat down, and ordered a ginger ale when the food came. My spring rolls automatically came with several different sauces to meet my flavor needs - tamarind, Korean bbq, Siracha - all the sauces! If you enjoy Vietnamese cuisine, this is a must taste, and bring friends in one car preferably since street parking is limited. Well worth the effort!

Seoul Jangteo is the perfect Korean comfort food spot in Allston. Allston is like Boston's little Koreatown! My go to's to get from here are: seafood jjambong noodle soup, tofu stew, and tangsuyuk (fried pork with sweet and sour sauce). The jjajangmyeon is also pretty good from here. Last night, we ordered the seafood scallion pancake, a small spicy tangsuyook, seafood jampong (D7) with extra veggies & seafood, & stone pot pork with rice. Very generous portions, in my opinion. The prices may look a bit steep but it's because most of the dishes are meant to be shared family style. Seafood kimchi pancake was alright, it wasn't crispy and kind of mushy... probably wouldn't get that again from here. The tangsuyook was good! They definitely do make one of the crispiest tangsuyooks around. The stone pot pork was yummy and the jampong was amazing as always. Lots of shrimp, calamari, & noodles. I can never finish this dish because the portion size is huge haha. Service depends on the day... some days they are super attentive and get your in order within a few minutes of sitting down or you may have to wave for them to come take your order. Food tends to come out within a reasonable time though. One of my favorite spots in Allston to go to for Korean comfort food. I wish they were open for late nights or even until 11pm.

Japchae
Annie G.

The food was okay for this time. Their noodle is popular so we had it. A bit on the sweeter side, but the portion was great. The service was a bit slow.

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

The beef tasted good, but the amount served was hard to justify for the price. The japchae and soybean stew were also frustratingly small.

The egg soufflé, tteokbokki, and side dishes were enjoyable, but they weren't enough to make the meal feel worth it. For what this place charges, I expected much more. A nice setting and a few good dishes don't make up for poor value.

This was our second time ordering delivery from Seoul Topokki. We remembered it being really good…read morethe first time, so we went for round two. 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.

Four words: spicy cold niku udon. The signature is also good!…read more I've been a fan of Yume ever since I found out about it when I went to Tufts for college. It was the Asian-American community's go-to spot for dine-in, take-out, or both! This was back when they had their location in the Lesley University food court too - people would be lining up for 30+ minutes to get a coveted seat at one of their humble seats. I look fondly on when they would yell "perfect" whenever I finished my bowl, praising how I slurped every freshly cut udon noodle and devoured every ounce of broth or crispy tempura bit they put in there. The new location is just a few stores down, still in/out of the Lesley University mall area. It has a nice ambiance and feels less cramped. While I miss the "perfect" yelling, the flavor still tastes just as good even if it's gotten an insane amount of hype since then. Would highly recommend ordering takeout if you're in a rush - they do it very efficiently, both at the original Cambridge location and the new Seaport location too. I'm so happy for all of their success!
