    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

    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

    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
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The restaurant is on the smaller side, so there is limited seating. We were seated at the bar, so we got to see the udon being made, which was fun! The service was quick and attentive. I got the spicy hot niku udon and it was delicious. The udon was chewy and the perfect consistency. The beef was thin and tender. Lastly, the spicy broth really brought it all together.

Having been here twice now, getting the spicy cold beef udon and their special tantan udon is definitely the way to go (made the mistake of getting the soup udon the first time). The udon itself goes without saying. It is thick, super chewy, and cooked just to the right softness. The cold beef udon was perfect--the sauce has a great blend of flavors and is portioned correctly. The tantan was an interesting take that is different from typical Chinese tantan flavors, making it unique to their style. The main issue was the service flexibility. I asked for no cilantro on the tantan, and the server said they couldn't accommodate that request because they wanted to serve it the way the chef intended. This was ridiculous considering the cilantro was simply piled right on top rather than blended into a sauce or salsa. In the end, it was just a waste of time having to pick it all out myself. The best part was the table next to us were able to customize their bowl. The noodles and cold beef udon are outstanding, but untrained staff really changed the mood of the night.

The beef, shrimp, water spinach, and XLBs were the high points. The beef was cooked in a slightly numbing sauce. The shrimp was perfectly crispy and doused in the signature sweet sauce. We didn't prefer the shengjiangbao, because the filling was a bit dry rather than juicy. The lotus roots were also pretty lightly seasoned - we had expected some more flavor. This is a solid Chinese spot in Boston! I think there are a ton of classic dishes done well. The service was a bit slow to me (it took about 30 min to get our first appetizers and we had to prompt for the check). It didn't wow me overall, but it was tasty.

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!
