Boston Food | The Overhyped Fusion Spot Ruka 🫢

A Japanese-Peruvian-Chinese fusion restaurant just a 10-minute walk from South Station 📍 505 Washington St, Boston, MA 02111 The overall flavor profile leans noticeably sweet—if that’s not your thing, you might want to skip this one 🙂↔️ 🥪 Korean Steak Tarte A must-order! The tartare is tender and well-seasoned, served with crispy bread for a nice texture contrast. 🥟 Pork Belly Buns The pork belly is on the fatty side, though the sauce helps balance it a bit—might appeal to those who enjoy richer cuts. 🍖 St. Louis Ribs Our most anticipated but also most disappointing dish—overly sweet and salty, which overshadowed the meat’s natural flavor. Best paired with a drink to cut through the richness. 🌶️ Bo Bo Chicken Crispy fried chicken tossed in a mix of chili oil, vinegar, and sesame sauce—complex, well-balanced, and our unanimous favorite of the night! Verdict: Worth a visit if you’re feeling adventurous, with a few standout dishes, though the sweet-salt balance could use some fine-tuning. #100RestaurantsChallenge #BostonFoodDiary #BostonEats #Boston #StudyInTheUS
