What laurel likes about Koreana:
Can be a quite place. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the bulgogi. And the side dishes were classic. I was quite full. Service was good just was sad that didn't trust us to cook and cut the meat. I haven't been able to do that in America. View all feedback. What Brett Creange doesn't like about Koreana:
Over priced and bland food. 15 dollars for scallion pancakes, 36 dollars for a 1 beef bbq meat, also each bbq table requires a 2x order minimum. Also there is no combo bbq dinners for a table so be prepared to spend too much and not get everything you want. View all feedback.

Koreana, once a go-to spot for KBBQ in Boston, seems to have lost its former glory. While the restaurant still offers a wide variety of dishes, including a standout cold noodle with spicy sauce, some customers have found the food to be overpriced and lacking in flavor. The service can be rushed and the experience tainted by a feeling of being hurried out. However, others have praised the attentive service and the quality of the meats offered, particularly highlighting the pork dishes. Despite some inconsistencies in quality and service, Koreana remains a popular choice for Korean BBQ in Cambridge, especially for those willing to brave the long wait times. Overall, Koreana seems to be a hit-or-miss dining experience, with some diners loving the food and service, while others are left disappointed by the high prices and lackluster flavors.

Classy restaurant with good Korean BBQ. Great Korean BBQ is hard to find in Boston but this place does a fair job.
