Buk Kyung

Super local Korean spot that's been OG of union square for years. It's been a very long time since I've been at this joint and it does not disappoint. We were able to grab a table for two on a random Tuesday evening and were able to order quickly. We got the combo with jjiajang and tansooyuk and a stone pot bibimbap with kalbi The portions are still generous although their dishes have gone up with inflation over the years, still really damn good.tldr; expect tasty and delicious home-cooked style Korean meals, the kind of stuff that fuels childhood dreams

We were in Somerville for a family event and walked around looking at different dining options when we came upon Buk Kyung. We wanted some simple comfort food so ordered the fried pork dumplings, shrimp shumai and pork fried rice. We enjoyed it all with the pork fried rice being our favorite. Service was thorough and friendly. We would return.

The quality of their food was delicious, and their service is excellent. The restaurant itself was very clean which makes me feel comfortable to eat there. Definitely would like to return in the near future.

This is the first place where they served half/half option for jjajangmyun and jjambbong like they usually do back home in Korea. I appreciated the option for that because I love both and I would always have to choose! The ttangsuyuk was also pretty good and they gave a good amount too (we already ate a few before taking the pic). The employee was also SUPER friendly even though it was at night and the food came out fast as well. There is a lot of space in the place to sit and is clean as well. I would come back again if I'm in the area!

My favorite Chinese Korean place in MA! I believe there was a change of management after the death of previous owner, my condolences to the family :( I think there was a little hiccup with tragedy but I assure you their food tastes great. jjajngmyeon and tangsuyuk are my go-to dish here. I heard people complaining about them not serving many ban chan (side dishes) for meals, however, that's how it is in Chinese Korean restaurants in Korea, people! You usually only get kimchi and danmooji (picked raddish)We paid a visit last weekend and had another great meal. I would recommend getting black noodles (you can also ask them to make it vegetarian!), jjambbong, fried pork with sweet and sour sauce, soon tofu stew, fried rice, and veggie pancake!Portion is also generous, hence giving 5 stars! 대박 강추!

My friend and I came around 6h30 on a Saturday. They were very empty at the time but were slightly busier by the time we left.We ordered the jjajangmyeon, the topokki , and the kimchi jjigae. Jjajangmyeon was great - a rather large portion size actually- and the noodles and sauce were so delicious. I will note that there is barely any pork in the sauce though - it is mostly onions. The topokki was good - extremely spicy with a crazy amount of the pepper powder. Kimchi jjigae was also really yummy too - surprisingly less spicy that the topokki, with very well cooked and generous portions of cabbage, pork, tofu, and rice cakes.Price point was also surprisingly low too (especially in this economy?!) Overall super happy with my visit; I had high expectations since I love Chinese Korean food, and fortunately they exceeded all of them! Can't wait to come again and try their tangsuyook and ganjajang, too :)

Always quality and tasty Korean food every time I come. They recently changed management so they have an amazing deal for jajangmyun and jambong for half off! Both noodle dishes are so delicious! The noodles are perfectly cooked and chewy. The portion is generous, the flavor and sauce/broth is all on point. I've also tried the tofu soup, tangsuyook beef and ganpoong shrimp. The ganpoong is tangy, sweet and a little spicy. So good! Portions are large and definitely shareable. All highly recommend! The only downside is the location. It's hard to find parking in Union Square.

Ok Korean food. The set menu of jjajang+tangsuyuk is worth the price and meal but the rest of the items on the menu are just ok

I ordered the pork Tangsuyook (sweet and sour pork) for delivery. The order arrived fast and the pork was still very warm and crispy upon arrival. While I enjoyed the sweet and sour sauce, the pork batter needed some seasoning. It was pretty bland on its own but thankfully the sauce is a good sweet and sour sauce that is flavorful without being overly sweet and syrupy.

First time visiting this place. There weren't too many customers, which is surprising, because the food was GREAT! The size of Jjambbong was so big, Tangsuyuk was crispy, and Jjajangmyun is done right. Definitely recommend getting these when you're there!
