🇰🇷 Naksan BBQ Is Boston really a food desert?

💥 Boston BBQ Bust: Overpriced, Underwhelming Korean Grill Let’s cut to the chase—this $$$$ spot isn’t worth the hype (or your wallet). Here’s why it’s a hard pass, plus better alternatives to cure your BBQ cravings: 🔥 The Big Letdowns Beef Large Combo ($159.95) • Advertised for 3–4 people? Barely enough for 2 hungry adults. • Mixed meat quality: Some cuts were tender, but the rolled beef was dry and chewy (tough enough to hurt your jaw). • Only saving grace: Complimentary steamed eggs (silky and savory) and potato salad (creamy, with a hint of mayo). Seafood Pancake ($14.95) • More like a "cheesy seafood pizza"—thin, greasy, and drowning in melted cheese. • Zero crunch, minimal seafood flavor—tastes like frozen batter with a sprinkle of shrimp. Spicy Cold Noodle • A misnomer: No spice, just cloying sweetness with zero salt or umami. • Noodles were mushy, not chewy—easily the worst cold noodle in Boston’s Korean scene. 📍 The Rest (Not Enough to Redeem) Vibe: Sleek, dark decor looks Instagram-worthy, but the tiny tables feel cramped. Service: Attentive grilling staff, but valet parking is a joke ($20 fee, and no one helped when we left). Price: $100+/person and you’ll leave hungry—absurd for what you get. 👍 Better Boston BBQ Alternatives Korean Garden (Allston): $40/person, massive portions, and their marinated kalbi is actual tender. Gen Korean BBQ (Cambridge): All-you-can-eat for $35–45, with better seafood pancakes and spicy noodles. Honey Pig (Quincy): Classic pork belly-focused spot, no frills but consistently delicious. Save your money—this spot’s more about aesthetics than flavor. Boston’s not a food desert, but you’ve gotta skip the overpriced hype! 🥩 #BostonFoodFails #KoreanBBQ #OverpricedEats #BostonDining #FoodieFails
