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!

An average KBBQ place. The prices are a bit high $37 for galbi and $26 for pork shoulder but you do get a big portion of meat. They also have lots of side dishes. It's good for family style meals or sharing with friends. Service is a little slow and they shut down for an afternoon break. Check their hours before going or you might be waiting for 30 mins.

Koreana has good Korean food, but can be a little pricey for the portions and quality of food. They won't seat you until your whole party arrives, so just make sure everyone is there!I got the short rib plate which came with lettuce and side dishes. The meat was good, but, like I mentioned earlier, quite expensive.

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.

We were stopped by here for lunch. My friend wanted eat Korean food so we went to this place. My dog was service dog and always I putted my dog in the bag but they didn't wanted accept us like customers because of my dog. She's really quiet in her bag and no one knows dog is in the bag. I asked them and show them proof of my dog as service dog. And they said ok. We ordered yukgaejang and spicy sir fried squid. I eaten better food anywhere else. Maybe we choose wrong food, should try bbq in my opinion. I don't want to go this place again for eat Korean. Very clean and big restaurant. They're not very friendly in my experience.

I have been to Koreana many times for Korean food and despite the average ratings on Yelp, I find the food here to do the job. I just got to try the Korean bbq here and I was pleasantly surprised! I have always seen the meats being brought to other tables and they looked high quality.Like most bbq places, they have a 2 order minimum for bbq. It comes with rice, banchan, lettuce wraps, sesame oil/salt and samjang. I got pork belly and the boneless short ribs, and although the prices aren't cheap (about $35 per dish) the portions are massive and this would definitely be enough for 3 or maybe 4 people depending how much you eat. They cook the meat for you which is nice but it was a little confusing when I thought the server said the pork belly was done but I don't think it was fully done (not raw but not crispy enough). The pork belly was thick cut and went well with the samjang and kimchi. The lettuce they gave was soaked in water and kind of bitter so I didn't eat it. The boneless short ribs were really tender and flavorful and I think I liked that one the best.Overall, the bbq here is great! Not as good as Naksan but it is far cheaper. I wish they had all you can eat or some meat or seafood combos so small groups could try a little bit of everything. Other than that, will for sure be coming back!

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!!!

My family and I have been here for over 10 years through many changes of management. This by far has been the worst management yet. The waitresses were rushing us non stop and kept turning our grill off while we were still cooking! Bring old Koreana back. This is the end of an era.

The food was mediocre at best, and the service was terrible. One of the staff, an Asian woman who appeared to be a manager or related to the owner, was especially rude and scolded our table. They served me the wrong dish, and instead of apologizing, she blamed us for the mistake. The restaurant itself wasn't very clean either--I even found chili peppers on my supposedly clean plate.I won't be going back. The experience really ruined my day.I recommend the same who are planning to visit.
