Location is great, prices good, waitstaff is very nice and the food was delicious. We enjoyed it very much!

Not good for family and friends dinner, it is more like takeaway Restaurant, the best part of this restaurant is open windows. I am big fan of Korean cuisine and this is definitely not what I expected when I am here. The server is not knowledgeable and she has no presentation. The food is below average and cold. Rice was hard and dry. There are only 3 Side dishes and they taste like old and bad smell. read more

Seoul - Boston - Horrible place! - Korean Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Seoul - Boston is located on Cambridge Street in Boston, Ma. Parking is limited depending on whether there is a game at TD Garden but it's not impossible. An option would be to take the T and get off Bowdoin Station. It's also walkable from North Station (Orange Line) about 8 minutes. I have had lunch and dinner here. The lunch menu at around $20.00 a set is reasonable in that you get a protein, a soup, a bowl of rice and several side dishes. The sushi and sashimi we ordered for a dinner meal we had was also very good. We had salmon, yellowtail, squid, and sweet shrimp. The Rising uni and Rising Ikura nigiri was my favorite. The quail egg adds a creamy flavor. The Boksam was good. This is boiled pork belly served with raw oysters and marinated nappa cabbage leaves used for wrapping. It comes with a fermented bean paste dipping sauce. I have tried this at one other Korean Restaurant, Korean Garden Restaurant in Allston, Ma so I only have that to compare it to. Both were good. But the raw oysters served is an acquired taste. It's not raw oysters in a shell where you can describe it as sweet or briny so be aware. These oysters are very seafoody and I mean you're getting the taste of the ocean in your mouth. I have had the seafood soon du bu twice and it was consistently very good. Plenty of tofu and the heat and flavor of the broth was just right. I would definitely order this again. Overall, service was great both time. The restaurant is very modern and chic in design. It can accommodate large groups. In the summertime, the windows open out and you get to enjoy the city feel. It has been a positive experience both times. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you're in the area and do not want to venture in Allston, Ma for Korean food. read more

This place is fantastic! All the food was absolutely delicious. The only bummer was some of the drinks were not available. I would say I preferred the food here to the food at Koreana in Cambridge, besides the tukbokki, which I preferred at Koreana. The Korean food is the main star, but the sushi was solid as well. My absolute favorite was the broth for the bulgogi pot - it tasted like a meaty soy sauce with a sweet twist. I can't wait to come back! read more

I dined here a few nights ago, and my experience here was not that great. Here are the reasons why: 1. It took a while for one of the servers to take my order, and it wasn't even busy. I tried get their attention, but they paid no mind. 2. The server took another guest's (that was seated after me) order first. 3. The ginger ale that I ordered turned out flat. I politely asked if I could possibly get another one. The server brought me another ginger ale can with a side of ice which I find it odd that the first time around the ginger ale was already poured into the cup beforehand. I'm thinking the original ginger ale that was given to me was sitting out for a while in the fridge. 4. The server slammed my ginger ale on the table. He seemed a little frustrated. 5. The side dishes tasted really bland. Other than that, the best part of this experience was the cold noodles. I don't see myself dining here the next time I visit Boston. read more

I ordered Uber Eats from here as it was one of the few options open past 10 PM. The food was pretty underwhelming. We shared the Buddae Pot for 2 at the highest spiciness level. The soup did have quite a kick, which I will give them that. But beyond the spiciness, there was not much other flavor to it. And judging by the size and the ingredients (kimchi, spam, sausage, rice cake, meat), it definitely was not worth $30+. We also paid $3 extra to add ramen noodles and the size of the ramen container was minuscule, definitely not worth the additional $3. The other dish we got was the Abalone Porridge, which we thought would help warm us up on a cold rainy night. This dish had absolutely no flavor at all, not even salt. It was completely bland and tasteless. All in all, the food was very underwhelming and I would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Sushi pick up for lunch today. I ordered online and arrived when it was scheduled. My lunch was ready to go. Nicely assembled California roll and Rainbow roll were together in a small foil container with a good amount of wasabi and ginger. Tasty and fresh. Not much more to say than that. I will order from Seoul again. read more

Overall rating: 3 stars Food: great authentic Korean food (stated by my Korean friends) got the rice cakes and pork belly Texture: rice cakes were bouncy and chewy, with the right amount if tomatoey spice, the pork belly was tender and came out sizzling Pricing: $25 for pork belly $20 for rice cakes Ambiance: warmer weather they open the windows which welcomes a nice breeze, though that means it welcomes bugs too. Bugs were enjoying our food more than we were haha Seating & Parking: meter parking out front but very limited due to being in Boston Service: was rude and cold to us but went a complete 180 when it came to tipping time Music: K Pop Bathrooms: male and female bathrooms Final comments: solid Korean food, meh service read more

This place was great for lunch! We got the budaejigae (army stew) and it was delicious! The one thing that was odd to me was the rice and side dishes were in disposable containers which didn't seem very sustainable. Also they only had 3 side dishes (banchan) but for a Korean restaurant that seemed low. I would definitely go again read more

Great Korean food! We came around 8pm on a weeknight, and it was very busy, so it was a long wait for a table and the food. There was only one server for the entire restaurant, and she was the nicest most hardworking person, running around trying to serve everyone. We got a seafood scallion pancake, and jjamppong. The portion sizes were huge for both of them. There was a lot of noodles in the jjamppong. The scallion pancake was just okay, but the soy sauce that came with it was great. Without the sauce the pancake wasn't that good or flavorful. But the jjamppong was great! Super tasty and flavorful, medium level spicy, and lots of seafood in it. I would definitely come back to try a different dish. read more

I was craving Korean food in Boston cause I hadn't had it in a while. Trying to expand my taste buds, I drove to this restaurant just to try a new Korean place. Sad to say, the food left a lot to be desired and costs way too much for what it is. In total I may have spent around $40 which isn't crazy by Boston standards. The three bonchon dishes were alright with my favorite being the potatoes that had a sweet and spicy flavor. I'm used to Korean places providing more than three bonchon options but it's not super important. The Korean pancake I ordered was super white (as you can tell by the picture). I added seafood for $2 which made the total of the pancake around $13. Since the pancake was so white, I didn't expect it to have much flavor and I was right. I've never had a more plain Korean pancake. The red dipping sauce had the complete opposite problem. It was way too salty. So I either had to eat a plain pancake or dip it in a super oily and salty sauce. I was looking forward to my cold buckwheat noodles and galbi ribs. The galbi ribs were good but I've definitely have had better. The buckwheat noodles were awful though and I normally love them. It lacked flavor and the texture was just off. Not much meat or egg so it was just disgusting noodles in a wacky liquid. The added on radish was too hard and messed with the texture. I got it to go cause I couldn't finish it and now it's sitting in my fridge cause I'd rather just cook food than eat it anymore. Service was fine but the windows are open so a bunch of birds and bugs came in. read more

For lunch, I was served three types of banchan: 1) I found the kimchi a bit bland and lacking the fermentation that I'm accustom to 2) the pickled radish was refreshingly crunchy and spicy 3) the tempura was served cold and was terribly soggy and disappointing. However, the broth for the Soft Tofu Stew was really nice. The stew appeared to have a soft poached egg, but it was somewhat lost as the silky tofu is a similar consistency. It was very tasty, but I would have like some fresh vegetables aside from the few small diced pieces of cucumbers. Adding the kimchi banchan to the stew improved both the flavor of the kimchi and the texture of the stew. Eating this soup is like a game, in which you try to shovel the tastiness in your mouth without scalding yourself. Not the friendliness service staff, but I'd certainly return for either the stew or to try some of their other Korean dishes. read more

Omg satisfied our Tukboki craving to PERFECTION here!!!! After all the K-dramas I had a growing hankering for it and finally found THE place! Not much else to review other than this dish - served hot pot style on a burner. Indulged in the noodle addon and while the base was awesome, we did have to add a dash of their spice sauce mix (not the hot sauce, it's a sauce with a combination of flavors that comes in a squeeze bottle). Servers were super friendly and took pride in their work. Definitely excited to be coming back here soon!!! read more

This is a clean, spacious restaurant but the place was empty with 2-3 staff during peak lunch time. I ordered the Soft Tofu Stew + Korean BBQ. The meat was alright but unfortunately, the stew was disappointing. It was not spicy at all and tasted very burnt that I wasn't even able to finish half of it. I'm not sure if I will come back and try some of their other food dishes because I was really looking forward to dining here because it is located in a good spot! read more

I used to like ordering from here - the food is decent for Korean food in Boston, although they don't give you any banchan that are usually served w/Korean dishes, which low key should've been a red flag. Last weekend, we ordered from here on Uber Eats at 7:00 pm, waited over two hours and had delivery drivers waiting to pick up the food, and then the restaurant canceled our order with no explanation at 9:30 pm. This was very frustrating and I would not recommend ordering from here. read more

We went out to eat here because it was a short walk from where we were at. The menu had so many options, to the point where it was almost overwhelming. The food was good, but we wish for some of the dishes we could have adjusted some things like the spice level or the temperature of the dish. Also some dishes were served in normal porcelain plates, while others were styrofoam disposable material. read more

I'm Korean, and living in Boston it's not that easy getting good Korean food. This place isn't bad! They have a great lunch deal. The LA galbi was tasty and they had all the items I normally order at a Korean place. The service was great! And the food came in a good amount of time. The place had the windows open and it was really nice to have it be a bit open to the outside. The place was also pretty bustling for lunch. Not a bad place for Boston. Have yet to order take out. read more

Need to hire more staff. Four people working the front on a busy FRIDAY night. Nothing against the staff but we waited an hour and a half for a take out order of noodles and rice. Maybe the owner can offer more pay or benefits to the employees but I recommend you find another place. read more

The place gave me a shame. I do not recommend the place. Service is not welcoming. Not organized furnitures and things around the cashier. I have work in a restaurant before and this place i could tell that no one had passion. I hope they could reform or stop what they are doing now. I've also ordered online via Uber eats and had no provided enough side dishes and dried up meat and bland soup.. It's a pain for me to have such a place representing Korean cousin/culture around my area. read more

My favorite dish has been the kimchi with tofu and rice cakes. It is usually served with pork but because I am a vegetarian I always order it with "NO PORK." Friday night we were having a celebratory dinner and we ordered two of these dishes with "no pork" and a third dish as well. When we picked up the order we asked if it was prepared with "no pork" and confirmed that the receipt indicated "no pork." When we arrived home we saw that both dishes were made with pork! We called the restaurant and the workers were surprised since they had reassured us several times, but they were unwilling/unable to send us new dinners, although they said they would credit the cost of the meals. We ended up ordering Uber eats from another restaurant and eating much later than we wanted which frankly put a damper on our Friday evening as we were starving at this point. Two days later we were notified that they would provide us with replacement meals. "How nice" I thought! I planned on having Korean food for dinner. Unfortunately, the restaurant sent us only one meal! We were planning on them replacing all the orders that they had messed up but yet again this interfered with our dinner plans. We called and explained that we were expecting a second "no pork" meal (because this is what we had ordered) and they agreed to send it over. After waiting over an hour, we called to see where the food was and were told that they were not sending it, that we should contact the manager and then they abruptly hung up on us. Again a disrupted dinner and disappointing meal and experience! While I understand that they felt they did all they were required to do, they actually added insult to injury by seeking to remedy and only making things worse. This leaves a very bad memory of our experience which I am particularly disturbed about as this has been one of my favorite dishes and I had been a frequent customer. :(. I am reluctant to recommend this restaurant given their customer service. read more

Stopped by Seoul to introduce my bestie to Korean food. Most importantly, budae jjigae. We also ordered the seafood pancake. The budae jjigae came with your typical banchans and rice. The jjigae was flavorful with sausage, spam, various veggies and enoki mushrooms. It easily could have fed 3 people but we devoured the jjigae between the two of us. The seating included a bar area and a sushi area so you definitely have choices on seating and menu but we definitely enjoyed the atmosphere for the Korean food. Will definitely be back! read more

I really hate to be a "Karen", but IN SHORT: for my fellow Koreans/people who regularly order Korean food, this place DOES NOT include banchan (Korean side dishes) with delivery!!! You have been warned! So obviously I got takeout from here. Ordered the kalbi and tofu soup combo. Food was ok; there are better Korean food options in Allston. But what really got me to write a review was that they didn't include banchan in my delivery. Every Korean restaurant I have ordered from has always included them for free. I was so disappointed, I told my family about it so that they never have to experience what I went through. Food is not cheap also, and the meat portion was pretty small. I might try this place out in person but won't be ordering takeout from here again. read more

When we entered, the restaurant was pretty warm, asked to turn the ac on and the response was like this is an old building, cant really do anything about it. And the entire time, we had to deal with flies that we had to ask for a different table. Still had flies issue that we had to set a bowl with maekoli in it so it attracts all the flies. I actually killed a fly with a spoon. I wish i can post a video that i filmed. If it wasnt for the flies and the warm restaurant i would go back bc the food was pretty good but because their response was we cant really do anythinf abut the fly situation i would never go back. read more

This was just what I needed after running the Boston Marathon! It was conveniently right across the street from our hotel. I love how open the restaurant is: on a pretty mild October evening, we were very comfortable with the windows open. I ordered the jjamppong and my husband got a spicy fried shrimp dish. Everything was delicious, including the kimchi we got to start with. The jjamppong was super fresh; I forgot what it's like to have fresh seafood. It had mussels, clam, and grilled octopus. All of it was cooked super well and it definitely satisfied my seafood craving! The broth was super tasty and mild to moderate spicy. My husband's shrimp was also very tasty! Overall, great experience: the wait staff was wonderful, accommodating, and speedy! All COVID precautions were observed and we felt very safe dining here. Will definitely make a point to stop by during our next trip to Boston! read more

My expectations of Korean food in the area are as low as Mexican food, southern BBQ, and anything cronuts-related in Boston. I was in the area and went with a friend for lunch, who wanted to try this place. With a bit of skepticism... I went for the soft tofu stew and it was decent and passable. Certainly better than what I've had at the food court at H-Mart. The stew was spicy and flavorful enough for it to be deemed acceptable. There was enough tofu and beef so as to not feel stiffed. The rice, which is an important element, had a fairly good sticky texture to it. The portion was rather sizable for lunch and I actually couldn't finish the rice and stew. The panchan was pretty basic and nothing to write home about. The kimchee was not memorable. Service was polite and efficient. I'd still prefer Seoul Soulongtang by a lot but if I lived around here and craved Korean food, this spot can hold me over until my next flight out to LA. read more

I like the beef bulgogi but once again not a ton of food for the price. I like that it's right beside my house

Not knowing how big this place was, I called in for a reservation of 19 people (for New Year's Eve), and they said okay! I even received a call from them to remind me of the reservation. Although our group was divided into two long (but near-by) tables, it was as good as it could get with such a big party! Seoul has a large variety of dishes on its menu! It took a while to choose what I wanted, but thankfully its service was great. With a lot of people at our tables, the waiters waited patiently for us to order our food. I love the small side dishes/banchans! This place is a bit far from places I usually hang around in Boston, but it's definitely walkable from Downtown/Park St. Station. I recommend checking this restaurant out! read more

2nd visit but let me just go ahead and give this place a 5 because of the above and beyond service we got last night. First time was good. Almost a month ago: a terribly tiresome shopping day. Walked all the way here from North Station T.T" Very hungry and dying. Got there and realize they're open on weekends at 4pm. Too lazy to move so just sat there waiting for them to open up. Finally get to eat! Ordered combo of naengmyun + pork bbq and yes it is late fall but IDC. Friend got yaki udon (and she really want to get jambong but excuse herself because it's huge etc). Side dish was good, refilled when asked. Service was normal. Second time, last night, was planning to go eat here again with another friend and then randomly added 3 more people nbd. I show up TOO DAMN early (like always) but this nice lady offer me a seat and was very attentive. She probably feel bad that I was sitting by my self for 30 minutes like a total loser :'( Anyways friends trickle in and we get to eat now. Side dish: BOMB! I guess they changes it everyday! Best thing ever is sweet potato tempura we literally devour it asap when it come out and got 3 refills. Sweet lady brought them out immediately and gave us extra cucumber because my friend was like "oooh cucumber". Sweet lady is the reason I'm giving 5* btw. Got the same damn thing as last time because I love it and crave it. Do you know how tedious it is to make naengmyun? Go watch some youtube video. So good like last time, maybe better. Taste bud happy ~ Friend A got same thing. Friend B got soft tofu combo + kalbi, said kalbi was amazing. Feeling jealous. Friend O for Ohio got Jambong because friend A demand that he get jambong because of how amazing it is and how she can't get it because its too big for her but he must do it etc He cave and got it, mild because he's not trying to put his mouth on fire. He end up liking it, 2 layers of seafood is well worth the money. Friend C got ramen, love it. Everyone happy and we lived happily ever after, the end. read more

Seoul was a further walk from the MGH red line station than I imagined. It was also a good distance from the Government Center station. Quite do-able, but just don't expect to walk out the station, and think that you'll see it right there. I didn't have high expectations for Seoul, given its 3.5 star average. I just wanted Korean food. But there were a good number of Asians there when I walked by earlier during lunch time, and over the evening of our meal, both their dining spaces filled out rather well. Service was nice enough, but the food took a while. It got slower presumably as the place got busier. Our appetizer was a reasonable 10+ min. Normally at Korean restaurants I like to order the seafood pancake, but here they offer their Korean Scallion Pancake $10.95 in a number of varieties: Kimchi, Vegetable, Seafood $11.95, and Oyster $12.95. We went with the Vegetable variation and what arrived was this lovely hot flat large disk of a presumably rice flour batter flecked with long strands of carrots and scallions. Quite unlike the scallion pancakes of Chinese restaurants. This was nice and chewy with pleasantly crisp edges, and the two of us really did a number on it. But there were other courses to come, so we left the final quarter of the appetizer alone. The entrees did not arrive till 30 min after the pancake had hit the table. Actually, the Tokboki Seafood $10.95 is listed on the appetizer section, but we deemed it one of our entrees along with the Japche Beef $13.95. Both were tasty though the beef a tad tough. The Tokboki was new to me but I enjoyed the chew of the rice cakes. Be sure to ask for mild when ordering if that's what you want, cause otherwise it comes spicy as a default. We left room for dessert, but not too much, so we split an order of their Ginger ice cream, which was $4 for 3 average sized scoops in a tall mug. A refreshing end to a satisfying meal! Note: Their bathroom is located down a flight of metal steps just beyond the sushi bar, and there is a single step at the entrance. read more

It's my second time in this restaurant. But this time I came alone. Was craving for some kbbq that time and I work like on the next block from their location. So I just decided to grab some food before work. Good thing about Korean food is that they have so much apps before the actual order is there. It's fun eating those unfamiliar sides that I don't usually eat. I got the usual sides that they serve and then at a reasonable time my order came. It was pretty quiet when I got there since it wasn't like lunch time anyways. It was almost 4pm. The food was good when it arrived. Good thing I ordered the whole meal and it came with rice which I didn't expect. I ate my meal and took my time,the only thing is that the servers doesn't really ask you if how is the food when you're eating. If I'm alone i don't really mind but just in case you'll need something you'll have to hunt them down if you don't see them. read more
