I really wanted to try the spicy rice cakes. It was delicious. It had a mildly sweet undertone with mostly a very yummy spicy flavor. I tried the seaweed rolls, too. I don't know much about Korean food, but it was fun to try some dishes I have never had before. Everything we ordered was enjoyable and tasty! read more

This place is fantastic! It's a small restaurant on a Main Street and counter service. However, the restaurant itself was accommodating and felt very clean and inviting. The menu was large and had some great dishes. I ended up ordering the mango milk tea and the spicy pork bibimbap. My food take a little longer than my partner's to come out which always leads to that awkward "should I start or not?" question. Thankfully it didn't take too much longer for my food to come out. The milk tea tasted great! Very refreshing and not overly sweet. I wish there a little bit more mango flavor but it was by no means bad. The real star of the show was the bibimbap. The portions were large and all of the food tasted fresh, very flavorful, and came out hot. Although the restaurant seemed unassuming this was probably one of my favorite bibimbaps I've ever had. The staff were also very nice and apologized for the wait. They come and collect your plates when finished. I highly recommend trying this place out if you're in the area even though parking can be a bit tricky! read more

Sharon Korean Kitchen - Bibimbap with spicy pork - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

If you're looking for a reliable Korean food with minimal human interaction that's not in the hustle and bustle of Allston-Brighton, I would recommend checking out Sharon, sometimes I prefer it when I've had a busy day. I do wish that they didn't use mostly onions for their japchae noodle dish. I ordered their steamed meat dumplings and the meat filling was not fully cooked so I did end up with stomach issues when I got home so I wouldn't order them again. I've been here for their bibimbap rice dishes so I'll stick to those and explore other menu items. read more

The food here is very good and they keep the restaurant very clean. We consistently return because both my kids love eating here.

First visit here, based on good reviews and close by. Easy free parking is a plus. Scan to order at the table is pretty cool, didn't mind it at all. I thought the spicy rice and veggie bowl looked good and tasty good, especially for the price. Clean bathrooms, looks to be kid-friendly with Boba drinks, which I cannot stand. Not a high-end restaurant, more like fast casual. read more

A hidden gem! We recently made a spontaneous trip to Sharon Korean Kitchen. It's clean and spacious inside. We ordered the spicy beef soup and beef short rib soup, and they both came out quickly. There were many pieces of short ribs in the galbitang and the yukejang was hearty as well. Good portions for reasonable prices. Whereas traditional Korean restaurants serve many different side dishes (banchan), this place has more of a casual, fast-food vibe and serves only kimchi as a side. Regardless, the servers were helpful and friendly. There's plenty of street parking nearby, and we will be back again! read more

On our post golf outing we found this Korean spot. They have a nice dining area, spacious and you can dine there. Order your food via counter or scan the QR code on the tables and they'll bring out your food when it's ready. I opted for the sweet and spicy chicken, reminds me of Chinese general gau but different spice. Good flavor, nice and hot, chicken was cooked perfectly moist. Has a nice crunchy chew. The sauce goes great with some rice, (doesn't come with it as it's technically and app). The lady got their spicy beef noodle and it had a great flavor profile, didn't taste spicy but tingles your tongue a bit. Bold flavor, spices and the lady enjoyed it. The beef is thin cut fatty beef. Enjoyed and would dine in again if in the area! read more

If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this is the place! I have been looking for authentic Korean food since I moved here in 2022, and the few places I tried weren't good enough for me to go back. This spot never popped up when I would search Korean restaurants, but I saw it when I was driving around the neighborhood and once I checked the menu, I knew I had to stop in. The place is amazing! I lived in Korea a few years, and it reminds me of Daegu. I had the pork bulgolgi and chicken japchae. The portion sizes are good and rhetorical food is great. Both dishes had tender meat and lots of veggies. The bulgolgi wasn't too spicy, but it was still flavorful. The service was good and the owner was kind. I've been twice now and I'll never back For sure. So happy I stumbled upon this place. read more

The Spivey and sweet chicken is very tasty, the beef bone is very nice, the meat was very tender. Kids love it. We also ordered the rice cake, which is bit over flavor. The dinning environment is clean and quiet. The people working there were also very nice. The price is bit higher. It's hard to find a parking , btw. That's the downside. I had to park far away to get there. Over all , very good experience. read more

Sharon is a Korean spot with a confused identity. I can never tell if I'm supposed to be eating in there. Barely anyone seems to work there, I don't see many cues to its Korean-ness besides the items on the menu (which are all rather descriptions of the items themselves instead of the actual name of the food, ex. Tteokbokki is called "spicy rice cakes" (I don't like that, call it by its name!!)). Seats galore but always empty, yet still thriving apparently as doordashers run in and out. The food is actually very good, and it's one of the only Korean spots I trust now. The tteokbokki, chicken dishes, bibimbaps, japchae, dumplings, everything I've had is good and authentic. Food comes out quick and portions are great. Above all, the kimchi is really fantastic so order a side if you're into it. This will be my go-to Korean spot for years to come. Just a bit lonely-feeling and a tad disconnected from its identity as a Korean establishment. read more

Service is hit or miss on a Friday. Found this out the hard way this Friday. Waited 15 min for a Boba tea and so canceled the order. Even after 15 min it had yet to make it to the prep stage. They need to train new staff read more

Sharon Korean Kitchen has been popping up whenever I search for Korean food, so you know I had to swing by & give them a try! Very interesting, a Korean spot in West Roxbury. Upon entering, we noticed it was super clean inside and very modern. They've got a good amount of choices to pick from on their menu, I wouldn't say they offer traditional Korean food though. We ordered two items, sweet & spicy chicken & a spicy beef noodle that came with rice. Originally, we thought that they didn't do sit down but actually, they do! The sweet and spicy chicken is tasted very much like a General Gao chicken dish. It was good! The beef noodle soup was okay. Not what I was expecting. It didn't have much for noodle or meat. It did have a lot of green beans, which I didn't really care for to be honest. Love veggies, don't get me wrong, but I would've liked more meat or noodles. Overall, not a bad place just depends on what you're looking for. This is more like an Americanized Korean fusion place. The staff was really nice! I'd come back again for the chicken dish and probably skip on the beef soup. Parking: Lots of parking available on Centre St. read more

The food was amazing - this place is truly authentic Korean food and just what we've been looking for. The service model is unique - you come in, sit down, and scan the QR at the table to order your food. It's great because you get to pay right away and the food comes out quickly, warm, and fresh. This fast-casual service model is great if you're introverted or just looking for a night out to dinner without talking to anyone you didn't come in with. And if you do want to socialize, their staff is super friendly and willing to do so. I recommend the lemonade with boba - it's so good and there are many flavors to choose from. The lemonade is sweet and the bobas explode into your mouth with flavor - my favorite is the mango lemonade with lychee boba. The lighting is very cute, there are warm lights around the kitchen and brighter lights by the seating area. I appreciate that this place has a picture menu by the kitchen (if you don't want to order from the QR code then you can order at the counter / with waiter). They also have pictures of their dishes hung up around the restaurant which shows they are confident in their dishes (and rightfully so). Portion sizes are large, we asked for to go boxes and packaged up our food for later. It's about ~$15 for a bibimbap, the spicy pork is amazing! read more

It's hard to find good Korean restaurants outside of Allston, so I got VERY excited when I stumbled upon Sharon Korean Kitchen in West Roxbury this past week. It's a fast casual restaurant with very nice modern interior. I went for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't busy so it really felt like a hidden gem! The price point and quality of food was on point. I ordered the silky tofu stew with veggie and pork along with a passion fruit green tea, both of which I ate / drank in its entirety. I'm looking forward to going back and trying more items off the menu! read more

Sharon Korean Kitchen - Sweet and sour chicken Milk tea - A plate of sweet and sour chicken coated in a thick, glossy sauce with sesame seeds is placed on a dark restaurant table. Next to it is a large plastic cup filled with milk tea, topped with a paper lid and a straw. A glass bottle of water and a menu stand are also visible on the table, with chairs and a blurred background indicating a casual dining setting. - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I love the kimchi stew here. Most places tone down kimchi. Not this place. It's not just spicy it's full of flavor. Garlic and ginger notes fill the stew without being over salted. The tofu and veggies remain tender. It's has a good amount of pork and rice that absorb that kick. read more

First time and will definitely be back. All 4 dishes and appetizers were excellent. Dumplings, spicy rice cakes, BiBimBap, Beef Bulgulgi, Boba...all delicious!! Clean restaurant and VERY clean bathrooms makes Sharon Korean Kitchen a must try. Had plenty of leftovers. 5 stars! read more

The beef bulgolgi udon and tofu stew (mild spicy) hit the spot on this rainy day. Both dishes were packed with authentic flavor and spice. The seating is limited, it seemed like they had a lot of orders through take out. It did take a while for us to get our food due to backed up orders but I still would recommend trying this place out. read more

While I typically don't go for Korean cuisine, I was excited to try what Sharon had to offer. Their menu is short and to the point which is nice because it means there's lesser chance of feeling lost or confused. We ended up getting takeout which we ordered online and was ready well within the time window. The food was hot and ready to eat! Kimchi udon and the fried tofu bibimbap were the two dishes we ordered. My favorite was the kimchi udon because the noodles were chewy DMD cooked well and every bite had the tangy flavor of the kimchi. I love when they don't skip on the sauce! As you can see, the bibimbap was loaded with the fried tofu (yay) and they were airy and light. Below it, were finely shredded veggies including carrots, radishes, bean sprouts along with rice. We got the chili paste on the side not knowing how spicy it would be but it was quite ok! Overall, we enjoyed the food and are looking forward to trying other dishes off their menu. read more

We went on a Sunday afternoon and were the only ones in the dining area. The place is very clean with nice modern decor. It was very comfortable and easy to place our order and enjoy our meal on premise. The lady at the front was friendly, and the menu was easy to comprehend and figure out quickly what we wanted. The food was very tasty! The sweet and spicy chicken I ordered tasted as expected. I was hoping the chicken would be crispy but it was not. Still, it tasted great and was one of the better dishes we got. The spicy rice cakes were pretty good and worthy of a call out. it has more of a tomato base for flavoring and is different from other places I've tried, in that regard. However, it is very heavy on onions...could use more rice cakes or other toppings. The chicken katsu wasn't anything special. Udon was decent. Overall, we'd say the food is 4/5. The chef was overheard coughing outside the restaurant...but later he came inside and continued to cough. During these covid times, its a risk to dine out already and hearing that didn't put us at ease. We could also smell his cigarette as the back door is opened throughout. Minus 1 star for the coughing and cigarette smell that made its way into the dining area. When I'm in the area again, I'd consider this restaurant again. I hope they are able to stay in business though, as no one else was in the dining room around lunch time, and we barely noticed any online orders (cooking) coming in while we ate there. read more

Wonderful place for fast-casual Korean food. A great place for people with children. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Nice staff. We had ox bone soup, bulgogi bibimbap, spicy fried chicken (requested mild spice) -- all were delicious. Loved that they had gluten free options too. Price was pretty decent but wished our dishes came with ban chan. Such a great find in West Roxbury because most of the good Korean restaurants at in Allston. My family and I will definitely be back. read more

Great place in the area for food and drink! Reasonable prices for the portion size! I like the drinks here as well. There are many options, a good size, and a great price! I have tried the spicy rice cakes, spicy fried chicken, chicken katsu, fried dumplings, and ox bone soup. Great place for dining in or take out! I enjoy going here for just the drinks as well! My favorite drinks are the sea salt milk tea (perfect sweetness) and the iced barley tea (unsweetened with roasted flavor)! read more

I thought there was a Korean Resturant in the South East Suburbs and I searched on Yelp and the closest match wss Takara which is Japanese with a few Bim Bab bowls which are not very good. I will check out now. I would like to say that the current search and layout on Yelp is not what it once was. It's like zGoogle now with multiple sponsored resturants being listed above either a type of food or specific actual resturant name? I searched got Japanese or Korean Resturants near me and the first search result was sponsored by Taco Bell???? Yelp is pretty bad in some ways these days. read more

Delicious, authentic Korean cuisine. I had the chicken bulgogi which was a hefty portion for one person - I ended up sharing with our son. The fried dumplings (veggie) were perfect!!

*Great value, delicious food* Excellent Korean food and generous portions. Definitely will return at some point! I got the bibimbap, tteokbokki, and sweet and spicy chicken. Bibimbap was very good and had plenty of meat, rice and vegetables. I was curious about the sweet and spicy chicken because I usually do not like sweet and sour type food but I was pleasantly surprised to find that I enjoyed it. The chicken was lightly fried and had a good flavor. The tteokbokki was also very good. Food came out fast and hot too, overall very good value and the food is very tasty too! read more

Korean American here to report on the authenticity and character of the Korean food at Sharon. The ambiance was so so, but the service was attentive and kind. I make these dishes at home for my family myself so Im always curious re the different ways others make it. My husband got the YukgaeJang. The broth(most important part of this dish in my opinion) is what I tasted. It was flavorful, rich, yet not overly salty. Theres an art to nurturing your broth. They get an 8.5 out of 10 for me in this category for this dish. The Chicken Katsu was a bit chewy(meat portion, which means it was not tenderized) but the outer crisp was crunch and light. Katsu is Japanese but im glad they have alternative options for picky eaters like my 8 yr old since spicy anything is as scary to him as broccoli at this point. The Soondubu Jjigae was also quite dense (broth), spicy enough for me (server increased spiciness for me), there was enough meat vs tofu (got the pork), though I wished they gave me the egg to crack in myself (though being in this area of Boston, that might not fly w most customers). Its simple. Almost like a sit down restaurant but also kinda like a food court walk up. I did wish they gave out even a little bit of BanChan (side dish) or even some Kimchee, but if going for a half food court, half served restaurant concept, you can fudge that line a bit, I guess. Prices are not food court-like, nor should they be. (The quality of the food is closer to a sit down restaurant) Though if this is your first Korean food experience, make a mental note that BanChan(s) can be the highlight of most Korean meals. Overall Authenticity Grade: (From the dishes I tried, I assessed based on broth quality, acid/base balance, quality and quantity of its contents, presentation, and evidence of ingredient prep(eg did they just MSG the hell out of the broth or did they broil veggies, bones, meats for hours and hours? usually most will do something in between) B+ (but lets be fair. by offering a sliding scale considering its location and area demographic): A- Random side note: "Sharon" is not the name of the owner. It represents the Rose of Sharon, South Korea's national flower (yes. North Korea has a different national flower). This symbolic flower/hibiscus to some, mugunghwa to Koreans) is the "eternal blossom that never fades" It is the symbol of the Korean people and its culture. I would definitely come back. Its not similar to any LA or NYC Korean scene, but Im reviewing mostly the food in this case and will be lenient on the ambiance (and lack of Banchan). Did someone say Boba? Yes, indeed. Its not a huge selection, but enough to quiet down the multitude of flavors still bursting on your tongue from your meal. They also had mango milk for my son who hates the boba pearls/black tapioca balls) Im pleasantly surprised by Sharon. Its authentic enough to serve its Korean foodies, yet has enough mild options for the older WRoxbury crowd who may not be used to this type of spicy. Good work, Sharon. You will see me again. read more

I love coming over here. First leave the food is really good affordable Korean takeout food. My favorites the spicy rice cakes and the bulgogi and the Jap Che. They have very good bone broth soups if you're into that. I'm very thankful this restaurant came to the West Roxbury neighborhood because we are regulars and they also offer takeout. They also have bubble tea another drinks too. They also have inside seating very clean and comfortable. They do an excellent job and friendly service.

I had the silky tofu stew which had a generous amount of seafood (clams, shrimp, and octopus) and the soup was very flavorful with the perfect level of spice. The kimchi stew and beef short rib soup also were so flavorful and delicious. I can't wait to go back to try the rest of their menu! read more

I happened to be in the area and chose this place based on the yelp reviews. Such a good choice, just what I needed, total score. There is a counter yo order your food and a self-seat dining area. They asked if I wanted food to go or to eat here. I opted to eat in. The dining area was very clean and comfortable. Relaxing piano music plays overhead. As I waited for my food, I watched a steady stream of pick up orders. This was at 6:30 on a weekday. They brought out a tray with a cup of water, a fork, and chopsticks. I had the Bulgogi Steak Rice plate. It was fantastic! The meat was thin sliced and tender in a delicious teriyaki-like sauce. The rice was sticky and a perfect complement. I also had an iced mango green tea and it was better than expected. Lightly sweet and tasty, very refreshing. I will absolutely be back. Loved it! read more

We (a family of four) came here for lunch on a rainy Saturday based on reviews we've read on Yelp. Immediately after we stepped in, we were excited! We love the ambiance. It is not stuck-up like a formal restaurant setting. But it was clean, bright and airy. Perfect for lunch. And the menu, while small, has a good coverage of the "stables" for Korean food. Service was great and exceeded our expectations. Because the place looks more like a simple food court setting, we thought we had to self-serve (scanned the QR code to order) but were pleasantly surprised that once we submitted the order, a courteous guy brought out water, utensils for us and food came promptly. He even refilled our water. I thought the service was on par with what you would expect in a normal sit-down restaurant. However, the taste wasn't quite authentic. We ordered four items: 1) Bulgugi steak 2) Veggie bimbim bap 3) Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) 4) Tofu stew with pork Bulgugi was clearly good quality beef but the sauce was way too sweet. Tteokbokki had way too much watery sauce and too much of a pepper taste. Tofu stew had silky soft tofu but the soup base did not have the normal rich flavor you would expect, and it was overly peppery. The only thing that was more authentic was the bim bim bap (but the rice to ingredients ratio was off... too much rice, and the sauce was a bit on the sweet side). We are Asian Americans and lived many years in Asia and California so we have come to expect a taste that is more authentic. The ingredients used were great but it seems that someone intentionally "Americanized" the menu. The dishes looked great but they didn't taste the way they were supposed to. read more

We loooove the bibimbap bowls at Sharon. We've tried the tofu, bulgogi, spicy pork, and chicken and so far I have to say the spicy pork and bulgogi are our favorites! The food is so flavorful, you get a great amount of veggies and protein, and I usually end up getting 2 meals out of each bowl. The staff is always so kind and the food is ready on time every time. You have to try this place, you won't regret it. read more
