Eating Through 100 Boston Restaurants with My Boyfriend [55/100]

Hanmaru 🐷 🍲 Winter calls for something warm and comforting – like a steaming pot of Korean pork bone soup ( Gamjatang )! We ordered a small portion, which came with about 6 pieces of pork spine – perfect for sharing between two. While the meat itself could have been more deeply seasoned, the dipping sauce truly stood out 🫶: a sweet and savory Korean-style seafood soy sauce that made each bite refreshing and balanced. Besides the pork, the broth was filled with potatoes and crown daisy – simple but satisfying. 🥬 We also tried their Braised Pork Hock (Jokbal) – served with fresh lettuce, spicy peppers, and ssamjang. Super authentic, just like in K-dramas! Highly recommend wrapping your own bites 🌯. Overall, Hanmaru is a solid choice for those chilly Boston days when you’re craving hearty, warming Korean food. Not a mind-blowing experience, but definitely hits the spot when you need that cozy, savory fix (¯︶¯). Would I come back? Maybe once in a while – especially when the winter wind just won’t quit ❄️. Fun fact: Allston is known for its dense and delicious Korean food scene – and Hanmaru fits right in! The no-frills, homey atmosphere makes it a reliable spot for classic comfort dishes. 📍 168 Harvard Ave, Allston, MA 02134 (nearest landmark) #BostonEats #KoreanFood #ComfortFood #Gamjatang #Jokbal #BostonFoodie #AllstonEats #WinterEats #DateNight #BostonLife
