    The food and service both amazing!! The beef combo (S) food quality is great & portion is enough for 2 people, but it is quite expensive.

    We had an amazing experience dining at Naksan BBQ. We ordered the small beef combo and it was perfect for 2 people. It came with bottomless banchan and the waiter actually cooks everything for you. Although I do enjoy cooking the meats myself at BBQ, having the waiter do it meant that every piece was perfectly cooked. In addition to the beef combo we ordered rice and the cheese corn. Although, it would’ve been enough food for the two of us without the corn, I’m glad we tried it because it was delicious. Our waiter was kind and attentive and the rest of the staff was very friendly as well. Because it was a bit on the expensive side, I would most likely only return for special occasions, but I definitely recommend!

    I went on a quieter Monday night - so I can imagine this place is much more energetic on the weekends. The meal was absolutely delicious - many options for beef and pork, ala-carte or combo. The service was friendly and professional. Absolutely on the same level of KBBQ I've gone to in NY, LA and Seoul. So glad that there's a spot like this in Boston!

    One of my go to restaurants that I visit frequently and recommend highly to friends but unfortunately will NOT be returning after this most recent visit. Drinks were never brought, rice was ordered and forgotten until our food was getting cold, the special told to us by our waitress was completely wrong than what it actually was, and they were out of stock of several meats (that the waitress explicitly recommended). I get we all have off days, but the waitress was laughing and could not care less - same with the manager who showed little to no concern over our very poor dining experience. With a $250+ bill for 2 people, I think you can find better in the Boston area. Will not be returning

    This is an incredibly authentic K-BBQ! The staff are all Korean. The food is prepared and presented in true Korean fashion. This is absolutely the best K-BBQ outside of K-Town in Manhattan and our favorite mom & pop place in Burlington. Absolutely blows the doors of Gyu-Kaku which is not a Korean establishment and buries Koreana! The setting is fun and edgy but the atmosphere is outrageously loud so don't expect to hold a conversation! Amazing!

    Wonderful food and service. Love that they do all the grilling for you. The beef combo out did the pork combo in my opinion. One piece of feedback is the music can be much lower so that we can have a conversation without yelling.
