I love koreana. It's delicious. I've been coming here for years and the food is consistently good. We've come in large groups and small, and always managed to be seated even if there is a wait. We usually get the galbi and the pork bulgogi. We've also gotten several other meats and apps. I highly recommend coming here if you haven't had Korean bbq or want to have a slightly more fun dining experience (vs a no cooking in front of you restaurant). We went to Korea in 2023 and Koreana is doing a great job once food and side dishes. It's the best in Cambridge than I've found so far!

Came on a Tuesday around 6 and it was fairly empty, but got way busier after we sat down. Service was relatively fast though the food did take a while to come out. The kimchi pancake was flavorful and crunchy without being greasy! The fish roe tang had a lot of roe along with squid, shrimp, and a clam- it was hot, sour, and exactly what i was craving. Overall a decent spot for homey Korean food!

Koreana is a great place to come for KBBQ! In the Boston area, though I would love for there to be more options for KBBQ/AYCE options, I am appreciative that Koreana is around! I love getting the tofu stew soup, tteokboki, japchae, beef & pork spicy bulgogi meats to grill. They are very generous with the banchans and servers are incredibly kind and helpful.

Not many great KBBQ options in Boston, but this is certainly one of best ones. Reading the reviews, it seems the experience is heavily dependent on your server, but I'm happy to say that the last 2 times I've been we've had excellent, attentive service (our very lovely waitress did say they were chronically short-staffed, so that can explain other reviews). I've come at off-peak times and during peak times, and both times service was great. Overall, very solid KBBQ option, but would only stick to the Galbi for beef (the bulgolgi was disappointing)- it was quite rich, tender, and fatty. You have to order at least 2 BBQ entrees to use the grill, so come prepared to eat, bring home leftovers, or dine with a group of 4. The banchan is unlimited and refillable and quite tasty actually- really liked their pickled daikon. The broccoli could have been fresher looking, though. The seafood pancake was crispy and generously portioned. We also sampled the tofu soup and a veggie dolsot bibimbap, both solid, nothing too memorable. Waters were always topped off. Prices are the highest I've ever paid for KBBQ but it's also Boston, so maybe this is normal.

This is one of those places that cooks the bbq meats for you which I personally like. I think this is the best kbbq spot in the Boston area. Not much parking around the area but the food is pretty good. I liked the galbi and the japchae.

First time at a traditional Korean Barbecue restaurant and I was blown away. My daughter and I arrived around 6 without reservations on a Saturday, it was very busy but we got a table quickly. It's a large bustling room with basic tables and bright lights, not particularly elegant but fun. We sat at a table with a built-in grill and started with the kimchee scallion pancake, which was absolutely the bomb, hot and crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, some tangy kimchi flavor mixed with the sweeter scallion flavor. Something I could eat all day. For our meats we ordered Pork Belly (Sam Gyup) and marinated beef (Galbi). When you order at least two items from the barbecue table menu they automatically bring you about 7 small plates of condiments, like kimchi and picked brocolli and mini sliced fish cakes, plus white rice and lettuce leaves. Our server placed the meats on the grill and we tended them, and she returned and used scissors to cut them into bite-sized pieces. Then it was just up to us to mix and match all the flavors into variations of deliciousness, including making rolling everything into lettuce leaves. My favorite of our meats was the Pork belly. For drinks we shared a bottle of the Korean Cass beer and a bottle of the Chamisul soju (Korean rice liquor), and we poured shots of the soju into the beer as is done (acc to my daughter) in Korea. The soju's not that strong, I think 17% ABV but it adds flavor to the beer. Such a great meal, I will be back!!!
