    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    Great food! The portions are amazing and food is quality, highly recommend the jambang as it wasn't too spicy but very flavorful and rich.

    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.

    Stopped in on a busy Saturday night with a lot of people out and about on a rainy day. We needed a Korean food fix, something soupy and spicy. We were seated to the left of the entrance which was preferable, a bit more quiet than the main floor of tables to the right and within eye shot of all the service staff. We decided to order the spicy pork clay pot which i enjoyed a lot, let the rice cook in the pot a bit longer and get the crunchy rice texture with the spicy pork. Comes with onions peppers and shrooms. It's hot in the claypot, so be careful not to grab it by the bowl portion when moving it. I personally liked this dish as many, and added some Korean chili paste on top after for more flavor. The seafood scallion pancake color came out a bit underwhelming to the eye, but it was large slices, filled with seafood and texturally a bit mushy, would be nice to get it a tad crispier at least (somehow) but the seafood was cooked well and not rubbery (maybe that's why it wasn't on longer for the pancake portion to crisp up?) The seafood stew was yummy, the lady likes this dish whenever she eats here and it comes with a ton of noodles, array of seafood and tiger prawns (the upgraded bowl). Broth was tasty with a hint of spicy kick at the back of your throat it was nice on a chilly day. The crispy pork with spicy sweet and sour sauce was crispier than other places we've had, and the sauce was tasty, reminded me of gen gaus sauce haha. Enjoyable. Spot was a tad pricey but i think most Korean spots are relatively similar, the portions were just right and our belly's were full. No complaints. Service staff were really nice and accommodating tonight. Thank you!

    Great Korean food but don't celebrate birthdays here! Service was definitely a 0 stars. LOCATION: Located in busy Allston, street parking only so good luck. The space itself is decently sized so it's able to accommodate fairly large groups. SERVICE: Had to rate this one first because it's a doozy. We were told okay on cake so we brought one to celebrate a birthday. When we got there, we asked a staff member if they could store the cake for us and they told us we can just keep it at our table. We were stunned but abided. Eventually we asked again and it finally made it to the fridge. They told us to let them know when we wanted the cake to be brought out. When we were done with dinner, we asked for the cake and they bought it out in the box along with the check. They handed us the box with no utensils, no plates, no knife. It's common sense that if guests ask you if they can bring a cake to the restaurant and hand you that said cake, you'll think to know they want to celebrate and eat it at the restaurant? All in all, service is LAZY and a bit unfriendly. But hey I get because it's a no frills and no nonsense restaurant. You eat and you get out so it's perfect for people who don't need to enjoy the dining experience. They kicked us out immediately and told us there was a long line of people waiting so they needed to clear it out. We left quickly thinking we were holding people up but as we were leaving we only saw a group of 3 waiting and we were at a table for 6. FOOD: Food was fine - the tangsuyuk and jajang noodles are always good. The food came out fairly quickly so that was appreciated. OVERALL: I don't think the food is amazing enough to go back and endure subpar service. There's plenty of other choices in the area.

    Recommended by my friend, this pan-fried bun生煎 place isn't far from MFA Boston. The little place is…read moreincredibly popular and well-known among Boston's Chinese student community. Shanghai Classic Pork Pan-Fried Buns上海生煎饅頭: I was instantly hooked! It's hard to imagine finding such good pan-fried buns in the US. Almost every table ordered them, so they were all freshly made, piping hot. The bun was made with unleavened dough, making it chewy and refreshing, with a light, crispy bottom--not oily or hard. The meat filling was substantial and tender, with plenty of broth (see picture). It was sweeter than salty, incredibly umami. The chili oil was also very fragrant, and dipping it in Zhenjiang vinegar enhanced the flavor and cut through the greasiness. Shredded Pork & Preserved Vegetable Noodle Soup雪菜肉絲麵: The noodles were thin and round, with a soft, mushy texture. While the noodles were clearly machine-made, this isn't a problem in the Yangtze River Delta region; the issue was likely overcooking. The shredded pork were well-stirred, with tender meat, but the noodles lacked flavor. They had to be eaten with the pickled mustard greens雪菜 to be slightly salty, and the umami flavor was severely diluted. The tableware is all disposable, and tipping is not mandatory. It's quite affordable.

    Walking to the St. Mary's St station to wait for the train, I looked up and saw Li Yin Rice Roll…read moreacross the street! I instantly teleported to the shop to show my support. Both Cantonese and Mandarin were seamlessly spoken. Shrimp Rice Roll / Egg: It looked very appealing. However, the soy sauce was ridiculously sweet, much sweeter than in China, completely exceeding the standard "umami and sweet" of the authentic Cantonese cheung fun腸粉 (rice roll) soy sauce. The cheung fun skin was somehow overcooked, so some parts without egg at the bottom were soggy from soaking in the soy sauce, making the whole roll quite greasy. I have to admire my culinary acumen: I managed to preserve most of the skin's basic texture with the extra egg. Fortunately, the shrimp were fresh enough, six in a serving, with a crispy texture. Oh well, since I'm in America, it's tolerable. I must say, I would never have come here specifically for this, never in my life. Spending $10+ on a plate of cheung fun after traveling so far, will make me feel more like a sucker than ever before!

I don't usually like fried rice or pineapple but I really loved this dish--highly recommend. My friends also loved the Soybean Milk which comes out piping hot and sweet.
