    Strip mall Korean eatery with a slightly swankier vibe than most. Trendy decor, modern bar. Experienced and friendly servers. Approachable menu with as much fusion as authentic Korean. -- Chicken Wings: Jumbo wings with extra crispness and an inner texture varying between sufficiently moist and gushingly juicy, depending on the piece. Always liked them, and I tried twice more recently with similar positive results. Excellent flavor in both the Soy Garlic and the Sweet and Spicy Gochujang. Superb, and with no price hikes in at least five years, now an excellent value too. -- Kimchi Pancake: Crispy on the edges and fluffier inside, with kimchi adding some crunch and nice flavor to go with the starch. Thin dark sauce to complement it. I think of it as a Korean cross between scallion pancake and egg foo yong. Good for sharing. -- Seafood Jampong: A large bowl of seafood stew with a red broth that has some creaminess as well as spice. Nice texture and chock full of large mussels, scallops, shrimp (gigantic Gulf shrimp as well as baby shrimp), Asian squid, and noodles. The squid was a little chewy, but everything else was cooked beautifully. This dish satisfied both in the restaurant and as leftovers the next day. Good choice for family meal, date meal, or chowing with the buds meal.

    It is a fusion Asian place. So not just Seoul. Prices are reasonable, however nothing was spicy. We asked them to make everything spice and it was all regular. Side dishes were fresh! Portions are great, are server was amazing as well!! There's soft music playing in the background, bathrooms are clean.

    Wow, we had an amazing time here! Seoul Kitchen is truly a diamond in the rough. We came here with a friend visiting and back in town along with our daughter. We had asked for a kids menu and high chair, not expecting much past those requests for staff tending to our child during dinner. We were wrong, the staff were incredible. Not only did they have the usual crayons and colorable menus for kids but the kids drinks had crazy straws, the staff checked in with our kiddo, picked up and replaced dropped utensils a smile. The kid food options were on point! We were pleasantly surprised and made a mental note to return for this reason alone. It's rare to come to a restaurant and have both the adults and children satisfied! We started off dinner with Kang's fried cauliflowers and then ordered the Jap Chae with seared salmon and the Spicy Bulgogi with veggies as our main entrees. I had no notes, every entree was delicious and the portions were huge. When I saw the prices at first, I did think they were on the pricier side, but then after seeing the portions I questioned nothing. Lastly, the Spotify playlist here is gucci and should be a crime to not share with customers haha I loved it and I didn't even order a drink! Great vibes, food, service overall- we can't wait to come back!!

    Food was okay, kimchi soup was standard. But it is affordable compared to other asian fusions.

    Kimchi Stew
    Julie W.

    Honestly the taste is not the best so 2 stars, ordered the stone pot bibimbap and kimchi stew which are classic korean foods which you can find at any korean restaurant. Hard to go wrong but the kimchi stew was very salty/flavored wrong and honestly did not taste like any other kimchi jigae I've ever had. The dolsot/hotstone bibimbap was good but it's hard to mess up because it's just vegetables, meat, and rice however, the rice was super low and it honestly was a small portion. Service was mid as we never even got a water refill during the time we were there. So two stars, however the owner of the place was super kind and comped the bibimbap and gave us one to go +1 star. We appreciated that he was very understanding. To be honest, service doesn't matter much to me but the food and taste are more important. Specifically, the kimchi, cucumber salad side dishes, and kimchi stew all tasted really westernized/not seasoned correctly compared to all the korean eats I get from other restaurants when I'm at the DMV for school so might be because of different audience and the area is more predominantly white. Would love to come back and try the sushi and rereview tho!

    I love the food here. Everything is always very good and service is always very nice and accommodating. Only issue is that it's a little pricey! Definitely places with Asian food that's just as good and is cheaper!

    Despite living five minutes away we have never been here before and what a mistake that was!!! What were we waiting for? One of our goals for 2025 is to try at least 1 new (to us) restaurant each month. May's choice was Seoul Kitchen. Some of our choices so far have been one and done places-but not here. We will be back for sure. Prior to pandemic closures in 2020 we used to go to a lovely restaurant in Woburn center for Bi Bim Bap in the stone pot. We did not think we had a place near us to get this dish. But then we find that we can get it here. It's been a long time since having this dish! We went on Tuesday evening. It was too crowded and we were seated promptly. After being seated, our server-Matt- greeted us and answered questions about the menu. He was very knowledgeable about the food ingredients and was very kind! After taking our order, he brought us some house made pickles and kimchi. Both were delicious. We order the bibimbap and kimchi fried rice with no pork. Both were freshly made and arrived steaming. The bibimbap is served in a hot stone pot and the rice was sizzling. The kimchi fried rice was loaded with kimchi. At some other restaurants we have been to, the kimchi fried rice does not have much kimchi. Not here-almost every bite had kimchi. Portions are ample-we took home enough kimchi rice for another meal. The dining room is clean and comfortable. There is a small outdoor seating an area with a few tables. Even though it is located on a main road, the restaurant is back in the parking lot so we would have no qualms about sitting outside. Unfortunately we ate too much and couldn't fit dessert in. But the dessert menu looked great with a few choices. Next time!

This was my nephew's favorite spot, so it felt especially meaningful to be able to honor him there. As a Korean family, sharing Korean BBQ and hot pot together felt very fitting. The food was delicious --fresh, high-quality meats and vegetables, rich and flavorful hot pot broths, and a great selection of soju. The sauce station was also a highlight and really elevated the meal. Everything tasted authentic and thoughtfully prepared. They even offered chicken nuggets and fries for the kids, which is such a considerate touch. So many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. What we will remember most, though, is the compassion and kindness shown by Jason and the staff. They created a warm, welcoming space during an incredibly difficult time and made it easier for our family to come together, share memories, and celebrate my nephew!

Instead of enjoying the experience, I found it unappetizing and honestly couldn't wait to leave. I know everyone has different tastes, but based on my experience, I would not return or recommend it. I was expecting a fun and memorable meal after such a special occasion, but it ended up being one of the worst dining experiences I've had.

Have tried many of the Korean restaurants in Allston and this, K Restaurant, seems to outrank them all! As for service -- indeed you pay first, but was a bit confused about the server/front desk who pretty much tell you to order before seated (choosing your own table), take your order, serve you with all the food, etc -- literally she handles all the customer service stuff -- wondering why she did not appear at pleasant or smile at all. Don't get me wrong, fully aware of wide range of personalities -- some appear more excited and enthusiastic than others others -- even without the the usual tipping at the end, and especially with the tipping at the end. Here, of course you pay -- and finalize your tip or no time before being served with your food, but still the server did not appear to greet or show those standard pleasantries expected all common in America ... She wasn't rude or anything. It just seems like she's not happy being there. Any event, just some thoughts here. Would definitely be back.
