Delicious! 1/1/2010

We traveled out of our way to find Buk Kyung II. It was so worth it! There were three of us. We had bul ga bi, ojinguh bokkeum, and the home made noodles. We loved all appetizers customary with Korean meals. We especially loved the mushrooms and the cucumber kimchee. We had a seat by the window so we could watch passersby. We love that. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The waitress was prompt and friendly. We were the only English speaking customers. We thought it was a good sign that the restaurant was full of Korean people. Pros: Great Service, Delicious Meal, Spacious Cons: Maybe not on the way to anywhere we were going? more

excellent food 8/22/2009

The best Korean food I've had in the U.S. outside NYC. Everything we've had has been delicious. A reliable standby. Pros: food, atmosphere, value more

My favorite Korean place in Boston 4/21/2008

This is my favorite Korean place in Boston. It has great food especially the soups like the jambong and chi gaes. The atmosphere is also nice and the prices are great! It's also one of the few Korean restaurants that you won't come out of smelling like food because they don't do Korean bbq at your table. Definitely a must-try for those who haven't been here. Pros: Cheap and tasty food with ambience Cons: Might be a bit dark for some people more

Great JaJaMyung, Nice Atmostphere, and Great Service 3/13/2008

I have heard of this restaurant from my friends so i finally came one day. The place had a nice feel to it, it was well decorated. The servers were polite and the food was fantastic! I got Jajamyung and they made it just right. I also got ttangsu yok which was also really good. Now i go here all the time! I definitely recommend this restaurant. more

Big disappointment 9/14/2007

Previous reviews are waaaaaay off. The service was horrible. That is not to say they weren't trying but I think they just simply don't get it.\r \r There are approximately 15-20 tables here ranging from seating for 6 or 2 with tables pushed together for larger parties.\r \r The first time I went the restaurant was at full capacity save 3 2 person tables. They only had 2 waiters for the whole place. To make matters worse, these 2 waiters were also in charge of greeting/seating patrons, clearing, presenting the food, cleaning the tables after patrons leave, and cashier duty. Needless to say it was near impossible to get any sort of service. The waiters would literally run from station to station, kitchen to counter, etc. Sweaty waiters are not my idea of an appetizing environment. That aside, after you place your initial order it was a tremendous challenge to even begin to get their attention for a drink refill or other requests. Food came after 58 mins.\r \r Second visit. Very much of the same thing.\r \r Third visit. I asked if they could prepare for a little side dish with noodles for the baby and they came back saying it wasn't possible. This is the first restaurant I've ever been to that has flat out declined to make concessions for such a common and a easy request. Being an avid restaurant junkie I was completely speechless. I indicated I wasn't looking for a free plate of noodles, I'd be willing to pay to mix their udon noodles with their miso broth. No go. When the ""udon"" noodles came out they were far from udon. They were much thinner and tasted completely different. Plain rice noodles it seemed.\r \r My final complaint. At the end of the day, a restaurant's most basic calling is good food. The food was subpar to say the least. Bulgogi was grainy and too sweet, udon was not udon, sun doo boo chigae was pretty tasteless and for those of you who know that dish; yeah, I too thought it was impossible to have such a bold dish come out tasteless. Pros: They spoke Korean Cons: Horrible service, no parking, unimpressive food more

okay food 10/24/2006

When I first went to Buk Kyung, I was pretty excited. I hadn't had Korean food for a while. I was disappointed with the results. The service was good and I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant, but the food was just average. I had the jajangmyun, which wasn't that great. more

Family Style Korean Food 2/20/2006

The service was great at Buk Kyung II, the tight seatings and dim lights give a very comfortable & warm feeling. Good portions for the price paid for and the food is very authentic especially the JajangMyun. Something you won't find in places like Kaya or Koreana. Another hard to find you can get at Buk Kyung II is Omu-rice, which is ketchup fried rice inside an egg omelette. Pros: Cheap Eats, Excellent Food, Great Services Cons: Limited Parking more
