Korean Garden-Allston-Anyone Been?

[chuck s]

I walked by Korean Garden tonight (Saturday) and it was packed. It looked pretty good from looking in the window. Has anyone been?

Yes, it's generally good. The kalbi (marinated shortribs) is a surprising deal, as it comes with a duenjanjigae (bean paste stew). I'd still go to Buk Kyung for tangsooyuk (the Chinese-Korean version of sweet and sour pork), noodles, and dumplings, but for most other items, I like Korea Garden a lot. Unfortunately, the ventilation isn't that great, so cooking meat at your table can leave you rather odoriferous for some time.

a few of us went for lunch back in the fall. they had just opened and several dishes on the menu weren't available yet. highlights included a diverse selection of fresh panchan (which was promptly refilled throughout the meal) and a stellar version of spicy pork bulgogi
