Living on the South Shore means Korean food options are limited, so when personal errands brought me to Stoughton, this immediately went to the top of my list. The jajangmyeon lived up to the hype. Springy wheat noodles with a deeply flavorful black bean sauce that hit the perfect balance of sweet and salty. Comfort food with real depth. I also enjoyed my steamed pork dumplings along with the banchan which included standards like kimchi along spicy radish and pickled daikon, which was an absolute revelation! Sign me up for more of that. The restaurant crowd was primarily locals, and there was a constant stream of takeout orders, which says a lot about how well-loved this place is. The space itself is nice and welcoming, although the area near the host stand and toward the open kitchen is a little cluttered during peak times. I'm guessing they don't have a lot of storage in back. If you have been curious about jajangmyeon, or if you are craving Korean food south of Boston, this is absolutely worth the trip.

The food here is on par with the spots in Allston, and the portions are huge. The steamed egg was really well done and seasoned perfectly. The tangsuyuk came out hot and very crispy, though I felt the sauce was a bit too sour and could have used more depth of flavor. The budae jjigae is listed as serving size for two, but it easily could have fed four people. I appreciated the generous amount of pork belly, spam, and sausage along with the vegetables. A lot of places tend to skimp on the meat and overload the veggies. I would definitely come back when I'm craving Korean food. I went on a Friday night and it was not too busy.

ROYAL HOT POT Everything at Royal Hot Pot tasted incredibly…read morefresh, and the whole experience felt thoughtful and fun. The sauce bar was impressive, with tons of bases, oils, herbs, and nut toppings to mix and match. We chose duo broths: the Wild Mixed Mushroom Broth and the Pork Buddy Mala Butter Broth at medium spice. Having one spicy and one mild was perfect, and both had deep, flavorful profiles that got even better as the meal went on. VEGGIE PLATTER The veggie platter came packed with fresh ingredients like lettuce, lotus root, mushrooms, and squash. All the vegetables were crisp and high quality. MEAT ASSORTMENT We ordered wagyu and several cuts of beef, all sliced beautifully and extremely fresh. Everything cooked quickly and soaked up the broth in the best way. SPICY HAMACHI BOMB ROLL This roll with torched hamachi, eel sauce, and mango was delicious and added a nice sushi moment in between the hot pot. NOODLE ASSORTMENT We tried the handmade noodles and sweet potato noodles, both were an epic addition and perfect for finishing the meal as the broth got richer. FRIED VANILLA ICE CREAM Crispy on the outside and cold in the center, it was the perfect sweet ending. Perfect way to end a chilly evening during this soup season.

Food wise - the meat we ordered for hot pot was super yummy, the Tom Yum broth was flavorful, and the sauce bar had a lot of options so you can make your own dipping sauce to your liking. The KBBQ was ok, I was more impressed by the hot pot. If I were to come back, I would try their sushi. The menu is very extensive - wish they offered AYCE option a long with the a la carte, but overall great experience!

I've never been to Korea, neither have I ever had food in a Korean home. With this in mind, I am…read moregoing to go out on a limb and say this is as close to authentic as it gets. I started with the Gyoza. The owner/chef advertised these as home-made, and it definitely shows. The dough is delicate, and the meat and vegetable inside are balanced and nicely seasoned. I think there are a few glass noodles thrown in for texture as well. The Dolsot Bibmbop was great! It came out on a sizzling, hot stone bowl and had flavorful and tender meat and a wide assortment of veggies. Everything was cooked just right, and had a spot-on amount of seasoning/salt/spice. I also loved how the rice on the hot stone came out with a lovely crunch! Finally, we eat with our eyes (though some Yelpers eat with their cameras) and visually it was colorful, and could beat out some works of contemporary art, if I may say so! Where it comes to the Banchan, I am much less thrilled. All but one of these had a hefty dose of an overpowering, fiery, and heavily acidic sauce. Thus, it made 4/5 of these variations on a theme. Service-wise: When I visited, it appeared to be a one-woman army. One person appeared to be the owner, chef, and server in one! She was friendly, kind, and there wasn't a hefty wait for the food. On the flip-side though, doing my research I find that some questions were left unasked. This includes if I wanted to gyoza steamed or fried, and what protein I wanted with the bibimbop. Value-wise, I find their prices are reasonable, especially considering the filling portions. Thus, while nothing was mind-blowing, I found the food tasty and authentic and the value reasonable. While the service was very welcoming, it would've been nice to have been asked about the options in the menu. Last, the Banchan was enough of a miss that if I return, I will ask to skip them.

It comes in a nice carrying box to go, but i didn't expect the toppings for them to be out in those little oz sauce containers for you to assemble yourself. That threw me off a bit, but apparently if you get the box or to go that's just how they do it. I rather the restaurant make and prep the dogs how they are meant to be. It is nice to have variety at the mall and a welcome addition. They also have wings and other appetizers / dishes but for me it's a once in a while spot. Definitely filling, only need 1-2 dogs per person if that and if getting the half cheese one the pull is definitely nice but super filling itself. Batter was crispy no complaints there!
